The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

Hai Xiaotang froze when she heard the news.

In her previous life, it was around the same time when her grandfather took a long trip to visit a war comrade, only to suffer a bad fall that required a long hospital stay.

His health was never the same after that, deteriorating day by day.

And, it was due to her being sentenced to death, that he never fully recovered, ultimately succumbing to his condition.

Although in this life she wouldn’t be facing a death sentence, she couldn’t let her grandfather suffer that fall again.

Hai Xiaotang immediately asked, “Grandfather, are you leaving now?”

“Yes, the car is already ready to go. If I don’t go now, I’m afraid I may not have enough time to spend with my old comrades, who knows for how much longer he can hold on.” Hai Zhiyuan said, a hint of melancholy in his voice.

Hai Xiaotang immediately ran upstairs, “Grandpa, wait for me, I’ll go with you!”

Hai Zhiyuan looked surprised, “What for?”

“Just wait for me, I’ll be right there. I don’t trust you going alone. If you leave without me, I’ll find you, in any case, wait for me!”

“You child…”

“Grandpa, remember to wait for me!” Hai Xiaotang hung up the phone and started rummaging for her identification and bank cards.

She grabbed a few changes of clothes and headed out the door.

The housemaid Zhang looked puzzled as she bustled about, “Miss, where are you going?”

“I have something to do and I’m going with my grandfather.”

“You and the old master are going to where…”

Hai Xiaotang didn’t answer her question, she had already run far away.

Hai Xiaotang rushed to the Hai family’s old residence in her car, just in time to see Hai Zhiyuan about to leave.

The car door was already open, and the driver was helping him into the car.

“Grandpa— ” Hai Xiaotang hurried over with her luggage.

On seeing her with the luggage, Hai Zhiyuan couldn’t help but laugh, “You really want to come with me?”

Hai Xiaotang smiled, “Of course, I’m not busy anyway, and I don’t trust you going alone.”

Hai Zhiyuan shook his head, “You don’t need to go. It’s sufficient that Acheng accompanies me. Besides, now that you are married, you can’t just go around travelling.”

Acheng was Hai Zhiyuan’s driver and bodyguard. Even though he’d be accompanying Hai Zhiyuan, Hai Xiaotang still felt uneasy.

Acheng had also come along during the last life, and that didn’t prevent the accident from happening.

Hai Xiaotang went over and held her grandfather’s arm, laughing, “Grandpa, Dongfang Yu is leaving on a business trip tomorrow, and he’ll be gone for a long time. I’ll be bored at home, let me come with you.”

“Really?”

“Really!” Hai Xiaotang nodded vehemently.

Hai Zhiyuan instantly believed her words.

Because he didn’t think she had any reason to lie. If Dongfang Yu wasn’t going on a business trip, she would never have left C City.

Hai Zhiyuan laughed happily, “In that case, come along with grandfather. You can also pay a visit to your grandpa Tao, who’d held you as a baby and liked you a lot, he even once mentioned you being his granddaughter-in-law…”

Talking about this, Hai Zhiyuan looked sad, “I hope that he can pull through this tough time, otherwise I would never be able to see him again.”

Hai Xiaotang had heard Hai Zhiyuan talk about Grandpa Tao before.

When they were young, they fought side by side on the battlefield, repeatedly saving each other’s lives, their friendship was deep and unshakeable.

One could say, they were each other’s closest comrades and friends.

So when Grandpa Tao fell critically ill, her grandfather was understandably anxious and worried.

Hai Xiaotang couldn’t stop him from visiting his old comrade in arms, so her only choice was to go along.

Moreover, she also wanted to temporarily leave C City, to get away from Dongfang Yu..
