"Daddy, where’s Grandpa?"

"Ruan Tianling, where did Dad go?"

Jian Yufei and Ansel asked him simultaneously.

Nangong Ruyue looked anxious.

Ruan Tianling slightly averted their gaze: "I sent Father-in-law to a place to recuperate."

Jian Yufei frowned: "Where did you send him? Why didn’t you let us know?"

Ruan Tianling came over and sat down: "It was Father-in-law’s request, he wants to be quiet for a while, when he’s better, he’ll contact us."

Nangong Ruyue’s eyes trembled slightly.

Obviously, Xiao Zexin is avoiding them.

Jian Yufei was a bit dissatisfied: "Dad asked you to do this, and you agreed? His health is poor, you should have stopped him."

"I persuaded him, but Father-in-law was very insistent."

"Then you should’ve at least told us..."

"He didn’t allow me to say anything. Moreover, I think Father-in-law’s choice is right, staying here only repeatedly stimulates him. Maybe going out for a while will help his recovery faster."

What he said made sense.

"But..."

"Yufei, don’t blame Tianling, it was your father’s decision." Nangong Ruyue interrupted her.

Jian Yufei turned back: "Mom, Dad is still sick, his decisions don’t count."

Nangong Ruyue laughed: "Isn’t a patient still a person? If he wants to go out, let him go out."

"Mom, are you really okay with Dad being out there alone?" Jian Yufei was shocked.

Ruan Tianling said: "I’ve arranged for someone to take care of Father-in-law, you don’t have to worry." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"I still can’t be at ease..." Jian Yufei said disconsolately, "Unless you tell me where Dad is, then I’ll be at ease."

If you tell her, she will definitely run off to find him.

Ruan Tianling shook his head: "I promised Father-in-law not to say."

"You don’t have to say, just take me to find him."

Ruan Tianling still shook his head.

"If you don’t tell us, we’ll always worry about him."

"Father-in-law will be fine."

"But we’ll still worry about him..." Jian Yufei said anxiously.

Thinking about her father being alone out there makes her heart ache.

Ruan Tianling smiled faintly: "Look at how calm your mother is, if she’s not worried, then you shouldn’t be either."

Jian Yufei turned to look at her mother, indeed, she didn’t seem anxious at all.

"Mom, are you really not worried about Dad?"

Nangong Ruyue smiled gently: "Of course I’m worried. But it’s his choice, I have to respect it."

"Mom..." Jian Yufei was surprised by her mother’s reaction.

She thought, if it were Ruan Tianling who was sick and hiding away, she definitely wouldn’t be at ease, she’d have to find him.

Having someone by your side is the most reassuring.

Nangong Ruyue also had the same thought.

But she knew that continuing to pressure would only make Xiao Zexin hide more.

For his sake, she chose to endure.

"Yufei, with Tianling’s people watching your dad, you don’t have to worry. I think your dad’s choice might actually be right."

Is that so, I hope it is.

But she still felt very sad.

Sad about her dad leaving without a word, sad that there’s no family taking care of him closely.

Jian Yufei’s mood remained low.

This emotion lasted until bedtime, and she still didn’t feel better.

Ruan Tianling came out of the bathroom, wearing only black boxer briefs.

In the soft light, droplets of water could still be seen gliding down his firm body.

Jian Yufei lay on the bed, turned on her side, looking out the window.
