"W… what? You guys, are you guys getting married? Is this serious? Or are you just trying to cheer up this old man?" Xiao Chuan looked in disbelief, but tears rolled down his cheeks as well. Qiao Xin, who saw that, also cried. Then she nodded her head.

"Yes, Grandpa Han. We have decided to get married. Maybe, we still don't get to know each other that well. We also still don't have love for each other. But we are sure, if we will learn for it. Isn't there a saying that if, love can come at any time? It can come because we are often together, for example. I believe in that, Grandpa Han."

"Then?" Xiao Chuan looked at his grandson. As if he wanted to hear the good news from his grandson's mouth too. If it was Qiao Xin who spoke, he still didn't fully believe it. Because Xiao Chuan knows who Qiao Xin is. A good girl who never felt the heart for anything.

"What Miss Liu said is true, Grandpa. We're getting married. And this wasn't entirely at Grandpa's request. Recently, we have had a lot of events that make us relate to each other. And yes, from Miss Liu's story earlier when she was about to commit suicide and jumped into the river. I was the one who saved him, Grandpa. That's why I think a lot about it all. When I saved her, and saw Miss Liu in an unconscious state with wounds on her body, I thought more deeply. What Miss Liu experienced was really not a good thing. And I want to protect him. I don't want bad things to happen again in front of my eyes. It is possible that from a good intention to protect her a seed of love will arise, so that our marriage will last forever. Isn't that a good thing, Grandpa?"

Xiao Long seemed to put his two big hands on Qiao Xin's shoulders, making Qiao Xin fall silent. However, Qiao Xin knew what Xiao Long had done was improvising what they had agreed on. Qiao Xin gently stroked Xiao Long's hand, and then she smiled back at Xiao Chuan.

"I'm really very happy, I didn't expect that Long would be willing to grant this request of mine. Long, just so you know what Grandpa chose is the best for you. Indeed, Miss Liu is not from the same family as us. His simplicity, his honesty, and the way he is is something you can't just ignore. Miss Liu is a very kind person. Miss Liu is a person you can never meet, and you can never get with any woman."

Xiao Long's jaw hardened at that. If only his grandfather knew that Qiao Xin only wanted his family's money, indeed, his grandfather would feel sorry for what he said now. However, Xiao Long had no time. He didn't have time to prove that to his grandfather. Now Xiao Long's priority is his grandfather's recovery. If his grandfather were happy and had the passion for living a little longer, Xiao Long would slowly gather evidence. He would definitely show his grandfather who Qiao Xin was.

"Grandpa, Grandpa just came out of a critical period. So now Grandpa rest. Miss Liu and I will be waiting for Grandpa outside. After all, Miss Liu also hasn't eaten since earlier. I'll take her to eat."

"Miss Liu?" Xiao Chuan said, Xiao Long seemed confused by his grandfather's words. "Don't call Miss Liu, because it's too formal. Just call her name. You definitely don't mind, right, Qiqi?"

"Qiqi? I?" Qiao Xin said confusedly. Then, she smiled and nodded too.

"Yes, Qiqi. I think that call is very sweet to you."

Qiao Xin smiled faintly again, and she didn't expect that such a strange nickname would call her. However, she didn't mind it at all as long as Xiao Chuan is happy. That was what Qiao Xin was aiming for.

"Yeah, I think it's a sweet calling. Isn't that so, Young Mr. Han?"

"You shouldn't call Long that formal either, Qiqi. Just call him Xiao Long, or Long, or if you have a favorite nickname like Darling, Love, Sweet, or whatever."

Hearing this come out of Xiao Chuan's mouth, Qiao Xin lowered her head. Her face felt very hot with embarrassment. The same goes for Xiao Long. He was amused discussing matters like this with his grandfather. Moreover, together with Qiao Xin as well.

"Alright, whatever Grandpa wants," Xiao Long ended the debate over the call. Then he gently squeezed Qiao Xin's shoulder again. "Qiqi, let's go out. Grandpa needs rest, you should also have lunch so you get better soon," Xiao Long finally said.

Qiao Xin finally got up from her seat, and then she looked at Xiao Chuan with a sad look. She knew that Xiao Long didn't take her out to eat. However, there was a lot the two of them had to discuss now. There were many things, which Qiao Xin was sure that she had to be sane to face such an annoying figure like Xiao Long.

"Grandpa, me and," Qiao Xin paused. She really found it strange not to mention Young Mr. Han to Xiao Long now. "Me and Xiao Long are going out for lunch. And doesn't Grandpa want something? If so, Grandpa can tell me. Then I'll ask the nurse if the food is good for Grandpa or not. If it's allowed, I'll buy it for Grandpa. Or when I get home later, I'll make some delicious porridge for Grandpa. So, Grandpa, get some rest, okay?"

"Okay, I'll take a break soon. You guys are also careful, don't think too much. Spend time together more often, Grandpa will always wish you well. And Grandpa will take care of your marriage."

Qiao Xin and Xiao Long couldn't help but smile blandly. How not, marriage? One word that really made both of them almost crazy about it. Both of them seemed to have to face the time ready even though they were really unprepared.
