When he heard the dial tone from the other end of the line, he heaved a sigh of relief . At least it ruled out the probability of her being in the hands of crooks .
The phone rang for quite a while before someone answered . It was a familiar voice that he had missed . "Hello . "
"Where are you?" Yan Rusheng asked with a frown .
Her voice sounded as if she was munching on something in her mouth .
Xuxu replied, "I planned to call you after my dinner . I am at my grandfather's house . Qi Lei had returned home as his Grand Aunt Lei had passed away . As my grandfather's movements are still not nimble, I intend to stay with him for the next few days . "
So she won't be returning home tonight?
Oh no, not only tonight . It would be for the next few nights .
He turned and took a glance at his laptop screen . The downloading of the latest blockbuster movie was completed . He had made plans to watch it with her tonight, but it was not possible anymore .
He was upset that his plans were wrecked had the urge to smash up his phone in anger .
"Okay . " Yan Rusheng fought hard to suppress his emotions and answered lightly . After pausing briefly, he added, "Let grandfather know that I'll visit him when I have the time . "
He used to use 'your grandfather' to refer to Xuxu's grandfather . But now, he referred to him as 'grandfather' so naturally .
Xuxu listened intently and remained silent for a while before replying, "Okay . "
After they hung up, Xuxu continued with her dinner .
After they hung up, Xuxu continued with her dinner .
Grandfather, who was sitting opposite her, asked inquisitively, "Was the call from Third Yan?"
Xuxu rolled her eyes at her grandfather, suggesting to him that he was asking the obvious . If it wasn't him, then who else could it be?
The old man added, "Grandfather keeps forgetting to ask you, how is the progress of your relationship?"
Xuxu was speechless . " . . . "
He was already over eighty years old yet still such a busybody, trying to inquire about the private lives of others .
Of course, she wouldn't tell him about the progress of her relationship with Yan Rusheng . Since he had a lack of respect for others, just let him be anxious about it .
The old man saw her furrowed eyebrows . Sensing that she was trying to avoid his question, he chided her . "You bad lass . You may find grandfather a nag now . But when I pass on just like Wang Daqin, you will not have anyone else to nag at you . "

At the mention of Wang Daqin, Xuxu was upset again and she slowed down her chewing .
She lowered her gaze and took a while to recompose herself before raised her head again to look at grandfather . "Grandfather, what was the least dignified thing that you've done?"
She deliberated for a while . Without waiting for the old man to respond, she rephrased her question . "Or, what is your minimum acceptable standard with regards to one's self-dignity?"
Upon hearing this, the old man answered coldly, "Hm, I'm unable to comprehend the warp thoughts and inclinations of the young . As far as my own principles are concerned, I will not consider about any minimum standards if I feel that something is worthy . "
As long as it's worthy .
Worthiness . How do one measure worthiness? Was he worthy?
It was still inconvenient for grandfather to move around . Xuxu applied for a few days of leave until Qi Lei returns .

During the day, the old man insisted on opening his shop and Xuxu was unable to stop him .
For two consecutive days, only close friends came and showed concerned to the old man, but no patients came for consultation . Perhaps they were aware that the old man was unwell and not in the condition to treat patients .
"May I know if Wen Xuxu is around?"
Xuxu was on the second floor when she heard an unfamiliar voice asking grandfather about her . She was startled .
She hurried downstairs .
