Xu An'an stared at the room key, stunned.

By now, she naturally understood that Yan Heng had been rambling on with her just to get her to go to the hotel across the street to rest.

but……

"...When did you...?"

Yan Heng naturally knew what she was asking: "I checked the location while you were driving, and had the driver book a room and bring it over directly."

Xu An'an had absolutely no idea what to say.

My nose tingled, and my eyes started to burn again.

Yan Heng is so thoughtful... No one else, besides her grandmother, would treat her so well.

What merits did she possess to deserve such treatment from Yan Heng?

"Why are you crying?"

Yan Heng wiped away her tears and pulled her into his arms. "This is a hospital. Don't force me to kiss you here."

Xu An'an wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her head in his chest: "Don't kiss me, Grandma is sleeping right next to us, what if she sees us?"

"Let's just tell the truth." Yan Heng's voice trembled as he spoke. "Tell Grandma that I fell in love with you at first sight before I was even an adult, and I've been waiting for you ever since. This time, you were acting and you discovered that I, the investor, am not only better looking than Lu Yiming, but also richer than him, so you wanted to find Grandma a different grandson-in-law."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xu An'an slapped him.

Yan Heng chuckled softly a few times: "Then what else should I say? You already said I'm your investor, you can't exactly say I'm taking advantage of you, can you? Or—you taking advantage of me?"

Xu An'an felt that Yan Heng was completely unreliable these days.

Just as she was about to push him away, he grabbed her again: "I was wrong, I begged you to take advantage of me."

He pulled Xu An'an into his arms again, sighed, and said, "Honestly, I've been dreaming since I was eighteen that you'd sleep with me someday, but I'm almost twenty-five and still haven't succeeded. Don't you think I'm such a failure?"

"It was clearly you who didn't..." Xu An'an couldn't finish her sentence, her face turning bright red.

Thinking about what had happened recently, she bit Yan Heng's arm in anger.

Yan Heng didn't dodge; instead, he chuckled heartily a few times, clearly pleased.

He hugged Xu An'an tightly again: "Go on, get some sleep."

Xu An'an lifted her head from his embrace: "But you haven't rested in a long time either."

Including the nap on the plane, Yan Heng slept for less than two hours in total, while I slept for at least four hours.

Besides, this is her own grandmother. How can she go to sleep and leave Yan Heng here to take care of her?

"I'm not tired." Yan Heng raised an eyebrow. "Besides, I have to make a good impression on Grandma, right?"

Xu An'an knew this person still harbored resentment towards Lu Yiming and his grandmother, and said helplessly, "Aren't you childish?"

Yan Heng laughed: "I'm just childish. So, if the room isn't filled with your scent, I won't stay there tonight."

……

Xu An'an thought that Yan Heng's "performance" was nothing more than the usual things like serving tea and water.

After all, Yan Heng is not good at socializing, and this is his first time meeting his grandmother, so what kind of performance can he expect?

But when she walked into the ward with a lunchbox in the evening and saw her grandmother holding Yan Heng's hand and laughing so hard she was doubled over, she was completely stunned.

When Grandma saw her arrive, she wiped away the tears of laughter and waved to her, "An'an is here."

Xu An'an walked in carrying a lunchbox: "What are you talking about? You seem so happy."

"Xiao Yan was telling me about how he made money off foreigners when he was studying abroad. It cracked me up! These foreigners were all tall and strong, how could they be so stupid, hahaha..."

Yan Heng looked at Xu An'an with a smile: "So early, why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

"It's getting late." Xu An'an placed the lunchbox on the table, laying out the food one by one, and blinked. "I woke up because I was hungry."

After the three of them ate in the hospital room, Xu An'an insisted that Yan Heng go back to the hotel to rest.

After Yan Heng left, she sat next to her grandmother and peeled an apple.

Grandma looked at her, didn't say anything, just smiled.

Xu An'an felt that her grandmother had probably figured something out.

Yan Heng and Xu An'an took care of their grandmother at the hospital for two days. Lu Yiming also came a few times during that time, always while Xu An'an was there.

In front of his grandmother, the two acted normally, but every time Lu Yiming suggested talking to her, she would avoid it with various excuses.

Firstly, she felt there was really nothing to say, and secondly, she had already promised Yan Heng, so if she continued to get entangled with Lu Yiming, she was afraid he would get angry again.

By the third day, Grandma had basically recovered and no longer needed someone to stay with her.

When it was just the two of them, the grandmother started a conversation.

"What exactly is your relationship with that Xiao Yan?" Grandma asked with a smile.

Even at this point, Xu An'an didn't intend to hide it: "It's...it's the kind of relationship you're thinking of."

"I knew it," Grandma said knowingly. "This child is quite good; although young, he seems reliable and steady. It's just..."

"What is it?"

Xu An'an cast an inquiring glance at her grandmother.

Fu Jinghua paused for a moment, then sighed softly, "An'an, is there absolutely no future for you and Xiao Lu?"

Xu An'an pursed her lips.

Grandma likes Lu Yiming and has treated him like her own grandson for so long. That's why I didn't want to put Grandma in a difficult position, but now that things have come to this, it's not going to be a long shot.

"Grandma, I've already filed for divorce."

Grandma wasn't surprised, but she sighed again: "How did it end up in court?"

Xu An'an remained silent.

She didn't want to either, but this might be the only way to break the deadlock.

Grandma has never liked disputes. At her age, she had to see her most proud granddaughter and grandson-in-law go to court. Xu An'an felt a little guilty and was about to say something when Grandma hugged her.

"For An'an to get to this point, Xiao Lu must have done something very bad. My precious An'an, you've been wronged."

Xu An'an was stunned for a moment, then her nose tingled and tears streamed down her face.

Wronged……

Yes, I feel wronged.

Now, all that's left in my heart is that feeling of grievance.

So she kept punishing him.

Punish him by keeping that secret.

Lin Wan'er's child was not the reason for their divorce at all.

The child that belongs to you is the one.

Every time Xu An'an saw Lu Yiming troubled, in pain, and helpless because of this, she felt a sense of satisfaction.

She enjoyed this kind of pleasure.

Stubborn and gloomy.

But Grandma's words about feeling "wronged" seemed to suddenly bring sunshine into the darkest part of Xu An'an's heart.

Stubbornness, too, gave way to tears.

Xu An'an suddenly realized something.

The one who doesn't want a divorce is actually yourself.

She had been using her own methods to keep Lu Yiming hooked.

As Xu An'an walked out of her grandmother's hospital room, she dialed a number.

The call was connected.

Xu An'an spoke directly:

"Yan Heng, there's something I need to tell you."
