Chapter 411 - They Knew Each From Infancy

"Well, Zi Er when your mum died after giving birth to you everyone was devastated. Your dad wanted to take care of you and your sister all alone but Feng's mum insisted that you must stay with her. You might not know but Yifeng's mum was very stubborn. If she wants something nobody can do or say otherwise. Your dad ended up losing to her so you had to stay with her but that wasn't the same with your sister. Your dad and grandma were against the two of you staying in the Li's mansion so your grandma took Zhixiang with her," Grandpa Li said. Yifeng who has never heard about this was surprised just as Yang Zi was.

"I was raised by Mrs Li, how come no one ever mentioned it to me? And also I don't recall all this why?" Yang Zi asked seriously.

"I am sure you don't recall anything because you were three years old when your grandma took you back to the rural side where she resides. Feng was older than you so I am sure he must recall something. He was like your older brother. He always fight with his mum just so he would carry you on his body. He cried for days and even refused to eat when your grandma took you away.. Am I right, Feng?" Grandpa shifted his gaze to Yifeng sitting some distance away. He saw him enter the room earlier but he pretended not to know it since he knew that his presence will affect Yang Zi.

"Why are you staring at me like that? Don't tell me you don't recall how you always pecked her on her lips when she was still a baby. Your mum and dad got tired of always scolding you not to kiss her on her lips since you never always listened to them," Grandpa Li said beaming happily.

When his son and daughter-in-law were still alive, they never failed to visit him at least once a week in the company of the kids. He always visit them too especially just so he would bond with his grandchildren.

"Do you mean Zi Er is little Xiao Xiao...,"

"I can see you didn't forget about her entirely. You still recall the pet name you gave her," Grandpa Li said. Yang Zi turned to stare at Yifeng when she realised that he recalled the past about them.

So Zi Er and I knew each other even from infancy. I guess we are indeed fated to be together.

Yifeng thought not taking his eyes off her.

He was a pervert even when he was a little boy. No wonder he became more perverted when he turned an adult.

Yang Zi thought, her gaze still focused on him.

Seeing how they were staring at each other without saying a word to the other, Grandpa Li let out a dry cough. His cough made them brought back his attention to him. When he coughed for the second time, they both hurried to get him water from the flask Yang Zi always kept close to the bed.

Yifeng and Yang Zi ended up touching the flask at the same time. Holding onto the flask, they both stare at each other for two minutes. None of them let go of it.

It's so obvious that they still love each other very much. I wonder why they are willing to endure the pains and yearning when their feelings are mutual. Maybe I should blame that grandson of mine for being so slow.

Grandpa Li said as he focused his attention on the two people still gazing at each other. Yifeng finally let go of the flask. 

"Grandpa, have some water," Yang Zi handed over the mug she had poured warm water into to grandpa. Grandpa takes a sip from the water so he won't look suspicious.

"My Granddaughter is still the best. She knows exactly how to take perfect care of her old man," Grandpa complimented as he stretched his hand and caressed her face.

"As long as grandpa is comfortable and healthy then I am willing to do anything," Yang Zi beamed as she collected the mug from his hand and placed it on a nearby table.

"Zi Er, the doctor said I am healthy enough to be discharged soon, you are going to visit me often after I get discharged right?" Grandpa said as he beckoned her to sit beside him. The way he ignored Yifeng was as if Yang Zi was his real grandchild while Yifeng was not.

"Of course grandpa. I will drop over and cook you a lot of delicious food. And I will also bring Mi Er along with me," Yang Zi said playfully.

Since Grandpa's surgery, Yang Mi has only visited him three times. And this three-time she was only able to come because she threw a lot of tantrums. Yang Zi would have loved to bring her to the hospital every day but because of school and extra lessons, she was not able to do so.

"I look forward to that," Grandpa said his smile broadening even more. None speak afterwards. After a few minutes, Grandpa decided to speak.

"Zi Er, I have a favour to ask. You will do me this favour right?", Grandpa asked in a serious tone. The ignored Yifeng just say and watched them talk.

"Grandpa, there is no need to sound so polite, we are not strangers so tell me what you want me to do and I will definitely do it," Yang Zi did not even listen to his request before she agreed.

"I am sure that grandson of mine hasn't eaten anything since morning, will you do me this favour of taking him out for dinner?" Grandpa Li said. Yang Zi's mood changed when she heard what his request was.

Yang Zi hesitated for a few minutes before she finally spoke up.

"I will do just that Grandpa, so don't worry," Yang Zi said as she faked a smile. Yang Zi continued to talk to Grandpa for a few minutes more before she and Yifeng left to grab dinner.
