Chapter 851: Chapter 852: Hypnotizing Herself
Nianyang tried desperately to hypnotize herself, maybe itâs just that sheâs been too busy lately and hasnât spent enough time with Li Tingyan.
Women always tend to overthink, she only acts impulsively because she misses him so much.
Maybe, once she sees him, all those unfounded suspicions will disappear.
Yes!
She must go find him!
Only by seeing him in person can she calm the inexplicable panic in her heart.
Returning first to the Li Family, Nianyang began to pack her luggage. She had clothes at both the Li Family and the Chu Family homes. She randomly grabbed a few clothes from the wardrobe, stuffed them into her bag, and then symbolically packed a few more pieces into her backpack before heading out to inform the Li Family she was heading to Jiangcheng to see Li Tingyan.
A daughter-in-law going to see her son, Shang Wan, the sonâs mother, of course wholeheartedly agreed. Recently, they have been so busy making medicinal soaps that they almost forgot that Nianyang and Li Tingyan hadnât been in touch for half a month.
This couldnât be, a married couple being apart for too long could lead to trouble. Hearing Nianyang was going to Jiangcheng eased their minds instantly; if such a good daughter-in-law were to leave, the Li Family would be at a loss.
After informing the Li Family, Nianyang went to tell the Chu Family.
Chu Zhan was still away on a business trip, and Chu Tianming was at work, so only her mother and grandfather were at home.
Hearing that Nianyang was going to Jiangcheng, both of them were taken aback.
Yunrou felt uneasy. Her daughter hadnât even married Li Tingyan yet, and she was already so outwardly focused on him, filled with thoughts of him; it was indeed jealousy-inducing.
Yunrou knew very well that in her daughterâs heart, as a mother, she didnât hold as much weight as Li Tingyan. But she accepted it, after all, Nianyang didnât grow up by her side, so the bond wasnât deep.
If Nianyang could acknowledge her, that would be enough. She didnât dare to ask for more.
So, she said nothing and happily agreed.
However, the old man Chuâs expression changed several times. Usually, he was a grandfather who indulged his granddaughter, but for the first time, he voiced his disapproval, "Nannan, thereâs no need to rush to see him. Tingyan will be back soon. Instead of going to him, why not travel with your grandfather for a while? Once youâre married, there wonât be many chances for us to be alone."
Nianyang laughed and said, "Grandpa, what are you saying? Itâs as if Iâm an ingrate. Even if Iâm married, youâre still my grandpa, and Iâm still your granddaughter. Weâll have plenty of chances to be together in the future."
The old man Chu snorted, "You say so much, but you just donât want to travel with Grandpa. Youâre only thinking of Li Tingyan!"
Nianyang spread her hands, "Oh come on, Grandpa, I also want to travel with you, but did you forget what I told you before?
Your health has only recently improved and still needs careful conditioning for six months.
Youâll only be able to return to your lively self once all aspects of your health are fully restored.
Itâs not even halfway to six months yet, so you canât slack off now!"
The old man Chuâs eyes flickered, almost forgetting this point. Now, what to do? How could he stop Nannan from going to Jiangcheng?
Nianyang, being observant, quickly noticed the guilt in the old manâs eyes, and her unease grew. Why did it feel like Grandpa was hiding something from her?
The old man Chu said, "Anyway, itâs just half a month. How about you stay home and keep Grandpa company? Wouldnât that be good?"
Now, not only did Nianyang feel something was off, but even Yunrou found it strange. Why did the old man seem so odd?
