Nanny Wang’s face was full of smiles.
"Young Master, Young Madam, where are you? The old madam has arrived. She’s waiting for you downstairs."
Huo Juanyan’s face darkened. He looked at her coldly and then warned: "Nanny Wang, if you do sothing like locking the door again next ti, you can leave the Huo Family!"
After saying that, he turned and went into the guest bedroom next door to change clothes.
Nanny Wang looked completely baffled.
"The young master looks so refreshed. It’s obvious he had a good rest last night. Why is he so angry?"
"Could it be that sothing happened between him and the young madam last night? Did the two of them have a fight?"
The next second, Nan Yu erged from inside.
She saw Nanny Wang standing dumbly at the doorway and asked in confusion, "Nanny Wang, what are you doing here?"
Nanny Wang noticed that Nan Yu looked in a great mood—lively and glowing, clearly well-rested.
Hesitating, she said, "Young Madam, it’s nothing much. The old madam has co and is waiting for you and the young master downstairs."
Upon hearing this, Nan Yu’s eyes lit up with joy, and she imdiately ran downstairs.
Watching Nan Yu’s excitent, Nanny Wang glanced at the tightly closed door of Huo Juanyan’s room next door and thought for a mont.
"Could the young master be angry because he’s embarrassed?"
The more she thought about it, the more it seed possible.
The young master is shy!
Realizing this, Nanny Wang couldn’t help but smile. She quickly turned and headed downstairs to inform the old madam.
anwhile, Nan Yu had dashed down the stairs and, upon seeing Chi Ying, imdiately ran over and sat down beside her, hugging her arm.
"Grandma, what brings you here?"
Chi Ying’s eyes lit up with joy when she saw Nan Yu.
"Xiao Yu, grandma heard you had dinner with your parents last night, so I ca specially to ask—did you have a good ti?"
Facing the concern in Chi Ying’s eyes, Nan Yu felt a wave of warmth in her heart. She tightly hugged Chi Ying’s arm.
"Grandma, I had a wonderful ti last night. They were so kind to , and Fourth Brother and Eldest Brother both prepared gifts for ."
Speaking of gifts, she suddenly rembered the gift her eldest brother had handed to her, which she had yet to open.
Nan Yu imdiately stood up. "Grandma, wait for here. I’ll go upstairs and get sothing."
Her eldest brother had told her to open it at ho. But last night, Huo Juanyan had unexpectedly returned, making her forget all about it.
Chi Ying watched as Nan Yu dashed back upstairs. She then turned to Nanny Wang.
"Where is Juanyan? Why hasn’t he co down yet?"
Nanny Wang leaned closer to Chi Ying and said softly, "Old Madam, the young master is changing clothes, but he’s probably feeling a bit shy and hasn’t co down yet."
"Shy?" Chi Ying asked in slight amazent, then laughed as if she’d just heard sothing amusing.
"Juanyan can actually be shy? I’ll have to take a good look later to see what he looks like when he’s embarrassed."
Nanny Wang chuckled along with her.
Upstairs, Nan Yu retrieved the gift Nan Zhuoyuan had given her. She turned to leave her room, intending to go downstairs to unwrap it.
As soon as she stepped out, she ran into Huo Juanyan coming out of the guest room next door.
The two stood face to face, montarily silent.
Having recalled the incident of sharing a bed the previous night, Nan Yu’s cheeks flushed, and her gaze darted unsteadily.
"Grandma is here; she’s downstairs right now."
Huo Juanyan glanced downstairs, saw Chi Ying sitting on the sofa, and his eyes softened considerably.
"Okay, let’s go down together."
With those words, Nan Yu, who had planned to go ahead, slowed her pace and walked alongside Huo Juanyan down the stairs.
Huo Juanyan noticed the gift box in her hands, and a hint of curiosity flashed in his slightly dim eyes.
"Is this the gift Nan Zhou gave you?"
Nan Yu picked up the gift box and smiled lightly. "No, this is from my eldest brother and sister-in-law."
"I don’t know what’s inside; I plan to open it with Grandma."
——
"Xiao Yu, since I didn’t know exactly how to write your na, I wrote this instead. I hope you don’t mind."
"Uncle Li, I’m just here for treatnt. There’s no need for such a fuss."
Nan Yu spoke softly to Li Chongbai.
Li Chongbai imdiately understood and waved to his people. "Take these upstairs first. We’ll co up in a mont."
Nan Yu placed the flowers in the car and then took out a hat to put on, covering her face.
"Grandma, Uncle Li, let’s head up."
Seeing Nan Yu so low-key, Li Chongbai grew even more impressed with her.
"The acupuncture room is down the hall on the third floor. The silver needles and dicine are all ready. Later, you can provide guidance, and I’ll follow your instructions step by step."
Nan Yu held Chi Ying’s hand with her right hand and said to Li Chongbai, "Uncle Li, I might have to trouble you to perform acupuncture for Grandma first. My hand isn’t entirely functional right now."
Li Chongbai nodded. "No problem. Actually, I’d like to ask you—how do you specifically treat the old madam’s headache ailnt?"
