Translator: End less Fantasy Translation                    Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Grandma Gu was traditional. Although the Gu family was well-off, she would go to the market to buy the freshest things for the New Year every year—even the couplets were carefully selected. When women went shopping, they were very happy just by shopping. Grandma Gu brought Meng Nianyao around to shop for many traditional and rare gadgets, such as embroidery, small lions made by craftsmen, red lanterns, and so on.

Meng Nianyao also liked traditional cultural things, but she had been working in the construction industry all these years and didn’t have many opportunities. Now that she saw so many gadgets, she was so excited that her eyes were as wide as saucers.

Grandma Gu saw the clay doll in Meng Nianyao’s hand. “Nianyao, do you like this?” she asked.

Meng Nianyao looked at Grandma Gu, then at the clay doll in her hand.

Meng Nianyao wasn’t young anymore. Grandma Gu had observed her and felt that she liked children, so she joked, “This doll is quite cute, but I think that your and Wencheng’s baby will definitely be cuter than this.”

The smile on Meng Nianyao’s face froze.

Grandma Gu thought that she was embarrassed. She took the clay doll from her hand and called the shop owner over so she could pay. “I also think this looks good. Let’s buy it.”

Meng Nianyao smiled and nodded. Grandma Gu saw something else and walked over to take a look. Meng Nianyao didn’t follow immediately, feeling a little upset. The doctor had told her bluntly that if she didn’t take good care of her body, she wouldn’t even be able to live until she was forty, let alone give birth…

Meng Nianyao looked at Grandma Gu’s back and was suddenly at a loss.

Grandma Gu had taken a fancy to a set of beautiful teacups. They were Chinese in origin and had orchids painted on them. There were four of them in a set, and they looked exquisite and simple.

“Nianyao!” Grandma Gu shouted.

Meng Nianyao snapped out of her daze and walked over. “What’s wrong, Grandma?”

“Do you think this set of teacups looks good?” Grandma Gu asked.

“It’s nice.” Meng Nianyao smiled.

“Then I’ll buy it.”

They had already bought a lot of things, and the driver was walking back and forth from the car with their things in hand. Grandma Gu glanced at Meng Nianyao and asked, “Is there anything else you want to buy?”

“No, Grandma.” Meng Nianyao shook her head.

“Alright.” Grandma Gu nodded and looked around. She seemed reluctant to part with them. “Let’s go back then.”

Grandma Gu was very happy today; her mouth never stopped talking. The little episode just now made Meng Nianyao a little out of sorts—she didn’t hear Grandma Gu talking to her a few times.

“Nianyao, what’s wrong?” Grandma Gu stopped and looked at her.

“No, it’s nothing.” Meng Nianyao came back to her senses and was about to think up an excuse to leave when Gu Wencheng arrived.

Gu Wencheng had been waiting in the parking lot for some time. When he saw the two of them, he teased them with a smile. “Ladies, did you have a good time shopping today?”

“Why are you here?” Grandma Gu scolded with a smile.

Gu Wencheng opened the car door. “I heard you were shopping here, so I came to pick you up.”

After returning to the old mansion, Grandma Gu went to the kitchen to cook in high spirits. After dinner, Grandma Gu and Grandpa Gu sat on the sofa and watched TV. Just as they were engrossed in the show, Uncle Nan came over with his phone. “It’s a call from the Young Master.” The young master he was referring to was naturally Gu Guanping.

Grandma Gu frowned. The unhappiness on her face was obvious. “You said we were all asleep.”

Uncle Nan’s phone was on speaker mode. Gu Guanping heard Grandma Gu’s words and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Mom, are you still angry?” It’s almost the New Year. You and Dad should be magnanimous. Don’t be angry with us. We all know our mistakes. We came back this time to discuss Wencheng’s wedding with you.”

After Gu Guanping said this, Grandma Gu took the phone. “It’s been three years. This is the first time you’ve come back for the new year. I should thank you, right?”

Gu Guanping felt guilty. Because of Gu Wencheng and Meng Nianyao, Grandma Gu was hurt by them. After Gu Guanping sobbed and called his mother, Grandma Gu’s eyes turned red. Grandpa Gu took the phone and said, “Alright, it’s almost the New Year. Come back when you’re done with work.” He hung up the phone.

Grandma Gu didn’t want the younger generation to see her in a bad mood, so she told Meng Nianyao and Gu Wencheng before going upstairs with Grandpa Gu.

As the Chinese New Year approached, Gu Wencheng and Meng Nianyao stayed in the old mansion.

Gu Wencheng suddenly wanted to smoke. He told Meng Nianyao and went outside..
