“Yaoyao, don’t be upset. I already taught that brat Lin Jiage a lesson yesterday. If he dares to bully you again, feel free to tell me. I’ll help you get back at him…”

After hearing those words, Lin Jiage’s back couldn’t help but tense up.

Last night, they decided to inform his grandfather about the cancelation of their engagement, but his grandfather was currently hospitalized due to an outburst of rage. She wouldn’t bring that matter up at this moment, would she?

Pricking up his ears, Lin Jiage listened intently to the conversation with bated breath. It was only after hearing Shi Yao change the topic that he returned to his calm and leisurely attitude.

In the ward, Grandpa Lin was still busy talking to her.

Lin Jiage was taking in bits and pieces of their conversation intermittently.

After some time, he was starting to feel uncomfortable with his current seating position, so he began shifting slightly to adjust his posture.

However, this slight movement brought Shi Yao into his peripheral vision.

Lin Jiage casually shot her a glance from time to time, and eventually, without even realizing it, his gaze became fixated on her.

Perhaps it was due to the excellent genes that ran in his family, but he had been very picky from a young age.

One must know that his older sister was known to be the top beauty within the circle of affluent ladies in Beijing—her dazzling aura was unmatched.

As such, from a young age, whenever someone said that a certain lady was beautiful, he would just think that the other party was so-so and that the group was making a big fuss out of nothing…

But she…

He was unwilling to admit it, but she’d taken his breath away back when they met in the SPK elevator, leaving a deep impression in the depths of his heart.

She had a small face and large, brilliant eyes.

Her pitch-black hair wasn’t done up in any particular hairdo, and it cascaded smoothly down the back of her head.

Unlike the female students who often put on makeup of some kind, be it heavy or light, her face was very clean. Her eyebrows were simply eyebrows, and her eyes were simply eyes. It was the kind of natural beauty that left one feeling comfortable inside.

It was a very different kind of beauty from that of his older sister.

Her beauty sided more towards a sweet image whereas his older sister’s was more of a luscious charm.

If he had to choose between the two, he would be more inclined towards… more inclined towards…

He didn’t know what she and Grandpa Lin were talking about, but her eyes suddenly curled up into a smile, and two light dimples emerged on her clean face.

Watching the blossoming smile of the young lady, Lin Jiage’s clouds of hesitation parted to reveal a clear sky.

If he had to make a choice between the two of them, he would be more inclined towards… more inclined towards… the Soft Bun who’d looked ugly, dirty, and shabby-looking back when she was younger.

But speaking of which, how could a person change so much?

She looked nothing like she did as a kid… Did the Shi Clan secretly swap out their daughter in the past few years?

…

In the end, Grandpa Lin had only just recovered from a severe condition. He might look energetic after waking up, but it didn’t take long for him to feel tired.

After Auntie Sun returned and he had some food, he soon fell asleep.

He slept until noon before waking up once more.

After having lunch, Auntie Sun went down to pick up the required medicine, leaving behind Grandpa Lin, Shi Yao, and Lin Jiage in the room.

After taking a glance at Shi Yao, who looked like she hadn’t had enough from the already emptied plate of fruits which Auntie Sun prepared earlier, Grandpa Lin turned to Lin Jiage without any hesitation and instructed, “Go and wash some fruits for Yaoyao.”

Grandpa Lin’s words left Lin Jiage and Shi Yao stunned.
