Chapter 1157

With her arm still in the grasp on the old lady, Yu Lili nodded her head . At that moment, her tear-stained eyes looked desolate .

She was about to lift her hand to press the tears back into her eyes when Old Mrs . Shen pulled it back down and said, “Don’t rub your eyes if they feel uncomfortable . The more you rub, the worse the discomfort will be . Wear a pair of shades instead if the wind is too strong . “

As she said that, she slowly reached her hand out toward Shen Zhilie and commanded, “Zhilie, glasses . “

Shen Zhilie immediately retrieved a pair of shades from his backpack . With his body bowed forward, he respectfully said, “Your Imperial Majesty, here are the shades . “

It was an extremely comical sight . Old Mrs . Shen burst out in laughter and took the shades from him . When she turned to Yu Lili, her expression wasn’t the same .

“Here . This is for you . ” Old Mrs . Shen put the glasses on Yu Lili’s face . “Wear them . It’ll protect your eyes from the wind . “

Yu Lili’s heart warmed at the gesture . She knew without looking at a mirror that her eyes were red and swollen with tears . She accepted the shades without any consideration and said a word of thanks . She then led Old Mrs . Shen and Shen Zhilie to the shopping mall ahead .

When they reached the Thai restaurant, a waitress in traditional Thai garb came out to greet them with the fingers and palms of both hands pressed against each other . “Sawadee ka!”

Old Mrs . Shen mimicked her actions and returned the greeting with a bow . “Sawadee ka!”

Even the waitress couldn’t help laughing . She led the trio into one of the private dining rooms inside the restaurant .

After ordering, Old Mrs . Shen seemed quite excited . “Lili, this is my first time in a Thai restaurant in Kingstown . I heard that Kingstown is very near to Thailand . Why don’t we go to Thailand together?”

When Shen Zhilie heard that, he had no choice but to be a wet blanket . He cleared his throat gently and said, “Grandma, we didn’t bring our passports . “

“Get your older brother to send them over,” his grandmother said .

“The postal express is not in service,” he said .

When the old lady heard that, she became upset . She turned her head and glared at Shen Zhilie . “Go back and get them . I’ll wait for you here in Kingstown . “

“That’s not a good idea,” Shen Zhilie said . “I’ll fall apart from running around so much!”

“I don’t care . In any case, I’m going to Thailand with Lili . Go get my passport quickly,” Old Mrs . Shen said with her arms akimbo, like an unreasonable kid throwing a tantrum . “It’s just too bad that you’re my grandchild!”

That last statement rendered Shen Zhilie speechless . Was he getting scolded? Huh? On second thought, that statement wasn’t exactly wrong either .

Shen Zhilie frowned . When he turned his head, he saw that the smile on Yu Lili’s face had widened by a lot . Feeling a lot better inside, he continued with his frown and said, “You can’t torture me this way, even if I’m your grandchild . Am I even your biological offspring?”

“Well, I didn’t give birth to you,” Old Mrs . Shen said without any qualms . She turned to Yu Lili and asked, “Lili, will you go? If you agree to it, I’ll have Zhilie return to the Capital . It’s only a three-hour journey there . That makes it six hours to go there and back . Even if he were to take three hours to travel to the airport, that would only make it nine hours altogether . It’s 4 p . m . now . He should be able to be back before midnight . “

Shen Zhilie was exasperated and yelled, “Grandma, my dear Grandma! Are you trying to kill your grandchild?”

“Why? You don’t want to go?” Old Mrs . Shen asked .

“I…” Shen Zhilie wasn’t sure what to say .

Of course he didn’t want to go . Such an arduous task was not easily accomplished by just anyone . But, looking at the old lady’s menacing expression, he became terrified again .

With a light cough, he said, “I have to stay to take care of you . You’re getting on in age…”
