155: Chapter 155 Granddaughter-in-law

Ye Qingqing couldn't help but pat her own face.

"Help..." The words involuntarily escaped Ye Qingqing's mouth.

But the image from earlier kept resurfacing in her mind.

Ye Qingqing looked through the space at Huo Sixian outside.

Huo Sixian was grinning like a fool at that moment.

With his hands braced on the Hospital bed, he breathed in the scent Ye Qingqing had left behind.

Like a creepy pervert.

"Help!"

Why did Huo Sixian awaken his Superpower so quickly!

Ye Qingqing felt her face flush even hotter.

How could she...

How could she...

At this moment, Ye Qingqing's mind was filled entirely with that kiss from just now.

So much so that Ye Qingqing even unconsciously reached out to touch her lips.

The lingering warmth on her lips and the domineering scent of Huo Sixian left in her mouth refused to fade.

Ye Qingqing once again buried her face in the water.

Like a fish, she thrashed about wildly.

Meanwhile, outside the space, Ah Huang, no longer catching Ye Qingqing's scent, instinctively believed Huo Sixian had forced her to hide inside.

As Huo Sixian left the Hospital room with a silly grin, Ah Huang glared at him viciously.

He barked incessantly at Huo Sixian for a long time.

But Huo Sixian didn't care in the slightest; his mind was now completely occupied by Ye Qingqing.

Ye Qingqing's smile, her figure, every word she said were all deeply imprinted in Huo Sixian's mind.

He even walked onto the Training Ground with that silly grin still plastered on his face.

Kong Ziyi couldn't help but scratch his head, looking at Huo Sixian. "The boss..."

"He went out for a bit, how did he end up like this?"

Lu Huan stroked his chin, lost in thought.

"It must be the season."

Kong Ziyi looked at Huo Sixian, wanting to say something, but fearing Huo Sixian might assign him some task or that he might get hurt again.

So, Kong Ziyi simply kept his mouth shut.

Training by himself was the proper thing to do.

Leaving Huo Sixian alone with his silly grin.

As for Ah Huang, he didn't follow after Huo Sixian once he left the Hospital.

Instead, he returned to the Hospital room.

Guarding the bed where Ye Qingqing had disappeared, he began to howl frantically.

Ye Qingqing inside the space could, of course, hear Ah Huang's commotion outside.

By now, Ye Qingqing had already gotten dressed again.

She simply stepped out of the space.

She only hoped she wouldn't run into Huo Sixian when she went out today.

Otherwise, Ye Qingqing wouldn't even know where to go to reason with him.

She just felt her face burning with embarrassment.

"Woof!"

Ah Huang let out a frantic bark.

He yapped at Ye Qingqing non-stop.

Ah Huang's inner monologue: You don't love the dog anymore! The dog is sad!

Seeing Ah Huang like this, Ye Qingqing couldn't help but smile faintly.

"Ah Huang, you're my favorite puppy."

As she spoke, Ye Qingqing patted Ah Huang's head.

She had been unconscious for half a month, but what about Ah Huang?

Ye Qingqing had a feeling that Ah Huang seemed to have re-awakened his Superpower as well.

"Ah Huang, do you have any new Abilities to show me?"

"Woof!" Hearing this, Ah Huang got excited!

He, Ah Huang, now had two Superpowers!

"Woof!" Barking, Ah Huang tugged at Ye Qingqing's sleeve, wanting to pull her outside.

But Ye Qingqing wasn't in a hurry.

"Not now, Ah Huang. Let's go home first. Maternal Grandfather and Grandmother must be worried."

However, when Ye Qingqing arrived home, she was stunned.

The house was empty, not a soul in sight...

They waited until the sky began to lighten before Deng Jiayu and Pei Siyuan finally returned.

Seeing Ye Qingqing sitting in the middle of the living room upon entering, Deng Jiayu and Pei Siyuan were startled for a moment.

"Qingqing!"

"My dear Qingqing, you're finally awake! We were so worried!"

Upon seeing Ye Qingqing, Deng Jiayu snapped out of it, rushed to her, and hugged her tightly.

A smile graced Ye Qingqing's face. "Grandma, I'm fine. It's you two I'm worried about, coming back so late. The work at the base must be exhausting lately."

Hearing Ye Qingqing's words, Deng Jiayu sighed and then released her.

"Qingqing, it's our fault. We couldn't be by your side, and we only found out you woke up when we got back."

As she spoke, Deng Jiayu wiped away a few tears.

Her gaze when looking at Ye Qingqing was full of guilt.

As grandparents, they felt utterly inadequate.

But Ye Qingqing thought nothing of it.

"Grandma, what are you talking about?"

"So many people at the base have awakened Superpowers now, you're already busy enough. And I'm a full-grown adult, what is there for you to worry about?"

"It's you two, working at your age, who have it hard."

Deng Jiayu listened to Ye Qingqing's words.

Her eyes filled with gratification, but even more so with heartache.

How they wished Ye Qingqing could be like other young girls, clinging to them and acting spoiled.

But the years of missing familial closeness couldn't be bridged with intimacy in an instant.

"Good, good, good Qingqing."

"What would you like to eat? Grandma will make it for you."

Originally, Ye Qingqing wasn't very hungry.

But hearing Deng Jiayu's words, her stomach involuntarily growled.

Come to think of it, since awakening that Superpower, Ye Qingqing hardly seemed to feel hunger anymore.

But her mouth still craved food.

"Grandma, you've worked hard all night. You know about the supplies in my space. Let's not bother cooking today."

Ye Qingqing said this seeing the weariness on Deng Jiayu's brow.

After half a month apart, Deng Jiayu and Pei Siyuan's faces had noticeably gained a few more lines of fatigue.

Ye Qingqing's heart ached for them.

So she absolutely couldn't let Deng Jiayu cook now.

Hearing Ye Qingqing's words, Pei Siyuan also came over and patted Deng Jiayu's shoulder.

"Alright now, our granddaughter is worried about us. Let's not be stubborn."

Looking at Ye Qingqing, Deng Jiayu still seemed reluctant.

But Ye Qingqing directly led Deng Jiayu to sit at the dining table.

Then, she took out from her space a table laden with a full feast.

Sweet and sour mandarin fish, ant climbing tree (sautéed vermicelli with minced pork), matsutake chicken soup, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall...

Deng Jiayu and Pei Siyuan were dazzled by the sight of the huge table full of dishes.

But just as the three of them were about to pick up their chopsticks, the front door was knocked.

Pei Siyuan immediately put down his chopsticks and exchanged a look with Deng Jiayu.

No one usually visited their home.

But today... what was going on?

Ye Qingqing got up to answer the door.

Ah Huang followed closely behind her.

He sniffed around the door. It seemed the person outside didn't carry a threatening aura.

However, he felt the scent on the person outside was somewhat familiar.

The moment the door opened.

Huo Cunsheng stood there holding a thermal lunchbox, breaking into a wide smile upon seeing Ye Qingqing.

"Granddaughter-in-law!"
