Tang Xi opens her eyes wide seeing Lu Cheng's face and gets down embarrassed.
How could I be so dumb!?
Grandpa is angry "You! Brat! Did you forget respecting your elders!?".
Tang Xi didn't know what to talk between them and stands looking down silently.
Grandpa's eyes turned soft seeing Tang Xi and asks "Child? Where did you go? Did he bully you? Tell me if he did! I will get rid of him without handing his inheritance!".
Tang Xi blinked blankly as she felt herself muddleheaded due to her sleep before.
She says swallowing her yawns "Grandpa I am fine".
Aunt Song comes out from the kitchen hearing the noise and gasps "Young Miss!".
Tang Xi smiles seeing her "Aunt Song!".
I really missed you!
Aunt Song hugs her forgetting everyone around and asks emotionally "Where did you go? All of us were worried about you!".
Tang Xi couldn't answer her questions and hugs her back "Aunt Song ..I am fine..Don't worry..".
Aunt Song releases her hug and asks happily "I heard you are pregnant?!". She chuckles surprised seeing Tang Xi from head to toe "Ah! You....you should be careful!".
Tang Xi couldn't help but blush and nods "Yes!".
Grandpa gets emotional and says "Child! Why did you go leaving this old man? Did you decide to take this grand child too away from me?".
Tang Xi gets sad seeing him and has no words for him. She shakes her head "No Grandpa..I-" and looks at Lu Cheng with tears in her eyes.
Didn't he say the truth to Grandpa? Why is Grandpa asking me?.
Lu Cheng avoids her gaze and says "Grandpa I told-".
Grandpa grunts irritated "You brat! You keep your mouth shut! I know everything was your fault! I am talking to my daughter-in-law! Not you!".
Tang Xi is almost speechless "..."
Grandpa holds Tang Xi's hand pitifully "Xiao Xi... Will you take my grandchild away from me? Will you let this oldman die alone for what that stinky brat did? Are -".
Tang Xi suppresses her tears and shook her head "No Grandpa...I ...".
She couldn't tell those words to him. As also she decided not to give him false hopes.
Grandpa gets sad and looks at Lu Cheng in rage "You ! Stupid brat! See what you have done to my daughter-in-law!! You dare bully her next time! I will do what I said before!".
Lu Cheng was already gloomy seeing her doubtful reply and walks towards his room.
Tang Xi felt uncomfortable and asks hesitating "Grandpa...Shall I take Aunt Song with me to-".
Lu Cheng froze in his trace and clutches his fist tight.
She wants to go?
Grandpa's face turned gloomy this time "Xiao Xi..Aren't you staying with us? Are you angry at me too?".
Tang Xi sighs sadly "Grandpa..please... I don't blame you. I really don't...please I don't want to stay-".
Lu Cheng lost his cool and declares coldly "You are staying here!".
Everyone startled hearing his voice even Tang Xi too.
Before she could speak, he continues in a fierce voice "You are my wife and you carrying my child now! Don't you ever think of running away from me!".
He did it! What she feared the most!
She smiles faintly "I will ask my brother to pick me then".
Lu Cheng's face turned even more rigid.
Grandpa and Aunt Song felt the scene is getting tense.
Grandpa slams his stick and fumes "Cheng! Stop acting stupid!".
This stinky brat is spoiling everything!
Aunt Song uses this chance and drags Tang Xi "Young Miss! Let me get you some soup for you. You look tired!".
Tang Xi is literally pulled to kitchen.
