C12 They Had to Love Each Other!!

Back then, he was worried he might not make it off the operating table and fulfill his promise to his old friend, so he hurriedly arranged for his grandson to marry his friend's granddaughter.

So, he knew his grandson didn't like Qianqian, but... he had consulted a fortune teller who said their signs were perfectly aligned—they were meant to be together!

Yuchen looked up, his expression still calm. "Grandpa, I see you and Qianqian are getting along well."

Mr. Lu thought he had a point but still snorted, "I don't know how much longer these old bones of mine will last. You rascal, you should hurry up and give me a great-grandchild to hold!"

Yuchen's mouth twitched, his eyes slyly glancing at Qianqian.

Qianqian caught on quickly and playfully said to the old man, "Grandpa, I'm still in school, and you're a good man, destined to live a long life. Once I graduate from college, Yuchen and I will give you a bunch of great-grandkids to keep you company and make you happy."

Yuchen: ...

A bunch of kids?

This little girl was definitely still dreaming about him!

The old man was overjoyed at her words, nodding with a smile. "Good, good! Qianqian knows how to care for people, unlike this rascal... Qianqian, what do you want to study in college?"

Qianqian shook her head with a smile. "I haven't decided yet. Right now, it's important to focus on studying hard and getting good grades. But it's good to have dreams, and I'll let you know once I figure it out."

"Yes, think it over. Whatever you choose, Grandpa will support you wholeheartedly!"

"Thank you, Grandpa." Qianqian smiled, her thoughts drifting back to her past life.

This kind old man, whom she had once angered to the point of a heart attack because he didn't convince Yuchen not to divorce her. She had been such a jerk!

The entire afternoon was spent with Qianqian chatting with Grandpa, making him incredibly happy.

As they were about to leave, Yuchen stood up and walked over to her, reaching out to take her hand. Qianqian was momentarily startled and instinctively tried to pull away, but he held on tighter. He looked down at her with a gentle smile, his eyes soft, before turning to his grandfather. "Grandpa, Qianqian and I will come to see you again next week. Make sure to cooperate with the doctors. After all, there's a whole bunch of great-grandkids waiting for you in the future!"

Uh...

Hearing this, she glanced at his handsome profile, suddenly feeling a bit self-conscious as her cheeks flushed.

Grandpa beamed at them, "You two should head back now. Remember to cherish each other!"

"Grandpa... don't worry!" Qianqian replied with a smile.

With that, the two of them left the VIP hospital room hand in hand.

Once they were out of the room, Qianqian quickly let go of Yuchen's hand as if it were a hot potato. Being held by him made her feel like he had a grip on her heart, and she was terrified of that feeling. She didn't want to fall for him again and lose herself in the process.

After getting in the car, Qianqian managed to calm down a bit. Just like during breakfast last time, she couldn't remain composed around Yuchen, and her actions once again strayed from her usual self.

The silence in the car felt stifling.

She lifted her head, her eyes quickly darting to the man sitting beside her. "Um, Yuchen... can I ask you something?"

Yuchen narrowed his eyes slightly, noticing how she glanced at him like a startled deer before quickly looking away. It stirred an unexpected feeling within him.
