Seeing Dad and Mom come home, she would wave her little arms and smile while babbling.
As long as she was teased a little, she would giggle non-stop.
Zhuang Jingshu had handed over all her affairs to Zhuang Yang during this period, devoting all her energy to the child.
At first, Lin Chuxia felt uneasy, thinking that they were taking up all of Zhuang Jingshu’s time, wanting her to have a bit of time for herself as well.
However, Zhuang Jingshu told her that only in the past few months did she truly feel grounded in the world, living a life full of warmth.
She told Lin Chuxia not to feel guilty about these things; on the contrary, she was grateful to Lin Chuxia and her daughter for giving her such an opportunity.
When she said these words, there was a genuine and happy smile on her face, and Lin Chuxia knew she wasn’t just comforting her.
Zhuang Yang also mentioned that the chairman’s smiles these days have been more frequent than in the entire past year.
In the past, Zhuang Yang never realized the chairman could be such a gentle and cheerful woman.
He said that in the business world, the chairman kept all her gentleness and smiles hidden, charging forward like a sword drawn from its sheath.
She had merely stored away her gentleness and smiles temporarily, only to reveal them again when meeting those who were worth it.
You are those worthy people.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chuxia was touched.
People are not made of stone; how could she not feel it after spending these days together?
On Qi Qi’s hundredth day, the family had a good, lively celebration.
Old Sir He even gave Qi Qi a big red envelope and took the opportunity to check Zhuang Jingshu’s pulse.
As soon as Old Sir He placed his fingers on her pulse, he raised his eyebrows slightly and cast an inconspicuous look at Lin Chuxia.
Zhuang Yang was most concerned about the chairman’s health and was paying close attention to Old Sir He’s expression after he offered to check her pulse.
Noticing the subtle changes in his face, he asked with concern, "Old Sir, how is the chairman’s health? Do you need to prescribe some medicine to help her recover?"
Zhuang Jingshu wasn’t overly worried, as she was well aware of her own body.
Ever since her reunion with Lin Chuxia, she felt as if a knot in her heart had been untied, and she felt lighter.
During the time staying at the family residence and watching her granddaughter grow each day, she felt not just happy but physically stronger, too.
Previously, she always felt her remaining days were numbered; now, she believes she can live a few more decades.
Old Sir He withdrew his hand, his face enigmatic. "No need. Your chairman’s illness is mostly due to years of exhaustion and emotional knots. Now that she doesn’t have to work so hard and is in a good mood, even without medicine, her body will recover day by day. This is quite good."
He looked at Lin Chuxia again as he said the last sentence.
Lin Chuxia awkwardly touched her earlobe.
Her little secrets might be hidden from others, but not from her master, though he never intended to expose them.
The reason Old Sir He wanted to check Zhuang Jingshu’s pulse was because he was about to go away for a few days.
Previously, Lin Chuxia had been worried, but now she had come to terms with it.
It’s good for the master to have his own life and circle.
After Qi Qi’s hundredth-day celebration, Old Sir He packed his bags and headed to the northeast, reportedly to meet an old friend he had recently reconnected with. Lin Chuxia personally saw him off to the train.
When she returned after seeing Old Sir He off, just as she parked the car outside her house, Hu Yaping from next door came out.
"Aunt Lin!"
