Chapter 1158

“That’s not a problem . Just go and leave it to me . ” The corners of Yu Lili’s lips lifted ever so slightly while the shades remained on her face .

Seeing the smile on Yu Lili’s face brought a sense of relief to both Shen Zhilie and Old Mrs . Shen .

Shen Zhilie continued with his mask of unhappiness and retorted, “Hey! It’s enough that my Grandma is bullying me . Are you bullying me, too?”

“What do you mean by ‘hey’?” Old Mrs . Shen glared at him . “Address her properly! Her name is Yu Lili!”

Upon being reprimanded by his grandmother, Shen Zhilie shrunk his head into his shoulders . He lifted the cup to his lips and took a sip .

That image of Shen Zhilie made the smile on Yu Lili’s face widen even more . An indescribable feeling filled her . It made her heart soar . But ,at the same time, in a small dark corner was a nagging feeling that this happiness did not belong to her .

This was her first time eating together with someone apart from Ou Ming and her colleagues, and it was on a festive day no less . This feeling was truly extraordinary .

The dishes were soon served . Old Mrs . Shen began to dig in . Although the old lady was getting on in years, her appetite remained hearty .

Yu Lili had ate lunch not long before, so she didn’t eat much . The same went for Shen Zhilie . As a result, most of the food on the table ended up in the mouth of Old Mrs . Shen .

Shen Zhilie made many attempts to stop his grandmother from eating further . Otherwise, as Yu Lili noted, it was possible that her appetite could encompass even more .

When they were done, Shen Zhilie settled the bill .

Old Mrs . Shen had overeaten and needed a walk to help with her digestion . She pulled Yu Lili along and made her way through the shopping center .

Most of the shops in the shopping mall were closed for the New Year, but the products on display enabled them to window shop .

Despite the shops being closed, the mall nevertheless tried to maintain the festive atmosphere of the festive celebrations by blasting the holiday song “Welcoming the Spring Flowers” over the speakers .

As Yu Lili walked on with the old lady, the song started to inspire Old Mrs . Shen to sing along, “I love the flower that welcomes spring! A flower for every family…”

Shopkeepers started looking over . Shen Zhilie tried to hide his face . Yu Lili, on the other hand, beamed widely as Old Mrs . Shen tugged her along, turning to face her as she sang out loud .

Shen Zhilie covered his face with one hand . When he looked over, he saw Yu Lili facing his grandmother and smiling away . She seemed a lot less annoyed than she had been earlier in the afternoon .

Feeling a lot more settled, Shen Zhilie appreciated the sight in front of him . Although he had no idea why his grandmother liked Yu Lili so much, it was undeniable that Yu Lili possessed a really good heart . It was too bad that such a good lady was wasted on a douchebag like Ou Ming .

All the way, Old Mrs . Shen continued singing at the top of her voice, attracting many curious stares, while she held on to Yu Lili’s hand and strode along . All of a sudden, the old lady stopped . She turned to look at Shen Zhilie and hollered, “Shen Zhilie, why are you hiding so far away? Do you find your Grandma an embarrassment?”

Shen Zhilie was stunned . Faced with all the questioning glances from the onlookers, he quickly covered his face . He was mortified .

Dear Grandma! Why did she have to call my name? I still have a reputation to uphold!

­­Shen Zhilie broke out in a guilty smile and announced, “I’m making way for you . Making way!” At that, he ran forward and off .

Old Mrs . Shen glared at him . Still holding on to Yu Lili’s hand, she gave chase while shouting, “Stop where you are!”

Yu Lili was caught off-guard when she heard someone in the crowd comment, “Who’d have expected the old lady to have such youthful energy? My own grandma can’t even walk anymore!”
