The following day.

Liang Shiyu accompanied Xie Linchuan to the hospital, and as it happened, everyone was there. Upon seeing Xu Jinzhi, Liang Shiyu’s expression became somewhat complicated.

She had never expected it, but the call yesterday from her mother reminded her, what if Xu Jinzhi harbored other intentions?

So now, looking at Xu Jinzhi, Liang Shiyu’s expression was no longer natural.

It wasn’t just Xu Jinzhi she viewed differently, but also her gaze towards Xie Xingchuan had changed; she knew that Xie Xingchuan had been frail for years, living as he pleased.

Her mother-in-law was always worried he wouldn’t be happy, and if it came to inheriting the company, Xie Xingchuan’s likelihood was very slim.

Even if Xie Xingchuan wouldn’t inherit the company, Liang Shiyu still didn’t want him to take any of the remaining shares from grandpa.

But there were priorities in all matters, and in this situation, Liang Shiyu needed to be wary of Xu Jinzhi!

Xu Jinzhi could naturally sense the way Liang Shiyu looked at her.

She knew what the media was saying and thus understood what Liang Shiyu was thinking when she looked at her.

Sometimes Xu Jinzhi found it quite amusing—how could Liang Shiyu, with her transparent acting skills, manage to survive in the entertainment industry?

Even Xie Xingchuan on the other side could see Liang Shiyu’s thoughts, let alone the rest of the Xie Family.

Everyone’s expressions turned unpleasant, especially Xie Suian’s, but he didn’t want to scold his daughter-in-law nor did he want to discuss such matters in front of Old Master Xie.

But Old Master Xie was a wise man. Once the younger members of the family had left, even He Shuying had gone, he spoke in a heavy tone, "About the will, I want to have a detailed conversation with you."

"Dad!" Xie Suian’s voice was a bit shrill, obviously not wanting to hear Old Master Xie talk about it.

Old Master Xie couldn’t help but smile wryly and said, "When one reaches this age, it’s bound to happen eventually."

Looking at his son, whose face was full of worry, Old Master Xie’s eyes reddened slightly as he said in a hoarse voice, "Lately, I’ve been wondering if I made a mistake."

"They say the affection skips a generation. When Linchuan was just born, I truly adored him. Thinking of the family’s modest assets, I hurriedly talked to you about future arrangements."

"I always thought of him, always feeling that the future of the Xie Family should be placed in his hands."

"But over this past year, when I look at Linchuan, I always feel like I might have done something wrong."

"Now, looking at you, I’m beginning to think it might not be a fault of mine."

As Old Master Xie spoke, his eyes began to brim with tears.

Xie Suian was the same.

The father and son were briefly sentimental before Old Master Xie continued seriously, "About the matter of the will, I still want to discuss it carefully with you."

...

Old Master Xie’s illness persisted until early April before he started to get better.

By the time Old Master Xie was discharged from the hospital, those rumors naturally had dissipated like smoke.

Only after Old Master Xie was discharged did Xie Yanchuan finally feel relieved.

Xu Jinzhi was not worried about Old Master Xie, because she knew he’d be fine, but she kept trying to comfort Xie Yanchuan, urging him not to be so stressed.

Now that everything was alright, seeing Xie Yanchuan relaxed, Xu Jinzhi finally relaxed as well.

Two days later, Xu Jinzhi got off work and came home, finding that Xie Yanchuan had already returned. They chatted for a bit and then decided to have dinner.

It wasn’t until Xu Jinzhi picked up her chopsticks and started eating that she paused for a second, looked up at Xie Yanchuan sitting beside her, her eyes filled with joy.

Xie Yanchuan just watched the changes in Xu Jinzhi’s expression and realized she had tasted the difference; she could easily distinguish between his cooking and the aunt’s. Xie Yanchuan smiled faintly, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.

While eating, Xu Jinzhi asked with a laugh, "Why are you in the mood to cook today?"

Xu Jinzhi reflected; recently, everyone had been a bit down due to Old Master Xie’s illness and hospitalization. Everyone only started to relax after he was discharged from the hospital a couple of days ago.

She thought that Xie Yanchuan was in a good mood today because of Old Master Xie’s situation.

Xu Jinzhi said, "I told you, Grandpa would definitely be fine."

"It’s not because of that," Xie Yanchuan replied.

"Then what is it?" Xu Jinzhi asked curiously. "Did something good happen?"

Xie Yanchuan struggled to suppress his smile, but still managed to keep his composure as he said, "My professional title was approved."

"Title?" Xu Jinzhi was initially startled, but then quickly understood, "You got promoted?"

"Mm," nodded Xie Yanchuan, "Full Professor."

He had been an associate professor, and this time he had applied for the promotion. Now that his professional title had been approved, he would be a Full Professor from now on.

"Really?" Xu Jinzhi was genuinely surprised.

Xie Yanchuan still nodded calmly, but deep down, seeing Xu Jinzhi happy for him filled him with joy.

"Xie Yanchuan, you’re amazing!" Xu Jinzhi praised earnestly.

Although she wasn’t particularly clear about the intricacies of administrative levels, she knew that becoming a Full Professor before thirty was a remarkable achievement.

Xu Jinzhi had put down her chopsticks and was looking around before asking somewhat uncertainly, "Shouldn’t we celebrate this?"

Xie Yanchuan pursed his lips; he hadn’t expected Xu Jinzhi to be so thrilled since, even having become a Full Professor, he still felt far behind her.

He might never reach the level that Xu Jinzhi had.

After a moment, Xie Yanchuan said, "Isn’t this a celebration?"

Lately, they both had been busy, and there hadn’t been much time to dine at home.

Today he had cooked himself and shared a meal with Xu Jinzhi, and now he had shared the news with her; Xie Yanchuan thought that counted as a celebration.

"Of course, it doesn’t!" Xu Jinzhi said, somewhat exasperatedly, looking at Xie Yanchuan. "Such a big deal as your promotion to Full Professor, and this is the celebration?"

"No way! I need to plan this properly; we can’t just celebrate so casually," Xu Jinzhi said, then her expression turned serious as she started to think of a plan.

Xie Yanchuan was somewhat helpless, "Let’s just continue eating for now, shall we?"

Xu Jinzhi took a look at Xie Yanchuan and realized that it wasn’t possible to organize something immediately. In the end, she decided to first finish the meal.

But after they were done with the meal, Xu Jinzhi began to make plans.

Tomorrow was Friday. She could get off work early, book a restaurant, and enjoy a romantic candlelight dinner with Xie Yanchuan. Although it was nothing unusual, it would be formal.

Naturally, Xie Yanchuan had no objections; whatever Xu Jinzhi suggested went.

That night, as the two lay down to rest, Xu Jinzhi turned towards Xie Yanchuan and asked in a sticky sweet voice, "Do you have any specific reward you’d like?"
