"Sorry, did I scare you?"
A while later, Chu Yunze's expression gradually softened. He knew his sudden stop must have frightened Shen Nian.
"No, I'm fine."
For the rest of the journey, neither of them spoke again, though they were both lost in their own thoughts.
By the time they arrived at the Chu family's home, Chu Yunze's expression was back to normal. It was impossible to tell that anything had happened earlier.
"Nian, you're finally here."
Knowing Shen Nian was coming today, Chu Zhengwei had come downstairs early to wait. After a long wait, she had finally arrived.
"Grandpa Chu, sorry to have kept you waiting."
"I'm just glad you're here. After all, I'm waiting for you to give me another acupuncture session!"
"…"
The other members of the Chu family looked on with resignation when they heard Chu Zhengwei's words. Who would have thought that their family's once-formidable patriarch would grow fond of getting acupuncture?
