Xia Yangyang finally understood.

So, it turned out that grandmother is holding a grudge against Gu Qichen because of Dad.

Actually, grandmother was very nice to Dad in the past. Xia Yangyang remembered that every year, there would be an endless supply of fresh vegetables at home, all of which were brought to the city from miles away by grandmother’s helpers.

She always claimed that their homegrown vegetables, which were pesticide-free, were healthier to eat.

However, after her mom suddenly passed away, grandmother took it as a devastating blow.

Grandmother had lost her husband when she was young.

She single-handedly raised her daughter, put her through school, and even turned her into a star due to a stroke of fate.

Because of her daughter’s death, grandmother could never forgive Xia Liangdong.

For many years, dad would visit the countryside occasionally and even intended to bring her to the city to settle down.

But every time, grandmother would shut him out.

In recent years, Xia Liangdong had come less and less.

Xia Yangyang said, “But Ah Chen is Ah Chen, grandmother, you can’t involve him in Dad’s issues. They’re two different people.”

The old woman looked disappointed, “Your mom was attracted to your dad because of his looks, wasn’t she? But what’s the use of a good-looking face? I’m telling you, the better a man looks, the less responsible and reliable he is. As your grandmother, I don’t want you to meet the same fate as your mother.”

Xia Yangyang spent a long time trying to reason with her.

But the old woman was stubborn and wouldn’t listen.

She believed that all good-looking people were hollow and those city men spoiled her to the point where any involvement with him would inevitably lead to hardship.

Xia Yangyang suddenly felt a great deal of regret.

Why didn’t she stop Gu Qichen from coming to the countryside?

When Xia Yangyang was in her room trying on shoes, her mind was elsewhere.

The shoes didn’t fit well and grandmother decided to fix them.

Taking advantage of grandmother fixing the shoes, Xia Yangyang quickly snuck out of the room.

Gu Qichen had just drawn water from the well and was washing dishes in the kitchen.

He had taken off his gray sweater.

Underneath, he was wearing a white shirt.

Despite the cold winter weather, beads of sweat trickled down his forehead.

Xia Yangyang quickly ran over, took the dishes from Gu Qichen’s hands, and said, “Take a break now, I’ll wash the dishes.”

Gu Qichen was already tired from driving for four hours that day.

He had cooked, and now he was carrying water and washing dishes.

Xia Yangyang felt terribly guilty.

However, Gu Qichen rolled up his sleeves, gently pushed Xia Yangyang aside and said, “No need. If grandmother sees this, she’ll probably dislike me even more.”

Xia Yangyang apologized guiltily, “I’m sorry, you’re shouldering the blame for my dad.”

Gu Qichen responded, “What do you mean?”

Xia Yangyang then repeated the conversation she had with her grandmother.

Gu Qichen appeared deep in thought.

Xia Yangyang suggested, “Why don’t you leave tomorrow? My grandmother is a very stubborn person. You’ll undoubtedly suffer if you stay.”

As Gu Qichen began to wash the dishes, he casually replied, “Since your grandmother has a bad impression of me, I should stay and change her mind. She’s your grandmother, she’s important to you, and therefore, she’s important to me. A little hardship is nothing.”

Xia Yangyang didn’t expect Gu Qichen to say this and was deeply moved.

“Alright, stop distracting me from washing the dishes. Go and accompany your grandmother in the room.”

“No, I want to stay here with you. I’ll give you a massage.”

Without waiting for his reply, Xia Yangyang moved behind Gu Qichen, insisting on giving him a massage.

Gu Qichen’s mouth curled into a mischievous smile, “If you want to massage me, you don’t have to rush. I’ll give you plenty of opportunities to show your ‘skills’ tonight.”

Xia Yangyang didn’t understand what he meant at first, but once she saw the familiar smirk on Gu Qichen’s face, she got it.

She retorted indignantly, “You just carry on with the dishes. I’m leaving you.”

Then, blushing, she ran out..
