Chapter 280 - Fear
"I am getting emotional too but I don't wanna cry." Wiping her tears away, grandpa Yang sighed, "You shouldn't cry as well, it's not good for your health. And if your husband arrives, he might think that I am bullying you."
"If he bullies you, we will bully him back together," she chuckled.
Kissing the top of her head, he explained, "Don't stress over anything, just live your life like you always have. Your grandpa is still young and can handle everything all by himself."
Just then Yichan entered the room. "Lunch is ready."
"Alright, you kids should have lunch, I will take my leave now
Wiping her tears with the back of her hand, Ning inquired, "You are not staying for lunch?"
"I have to meet Quan for lunch, we are going crib shopping," grandpa Yang informed.
"Crib shopping? For sister Suyan and brother Bojing's baby?" Yichan asked.
He nodded his head and answered, "Yes, Quan wants to make all the arrangements beforehand. Anyway, we are going crib shopping today. Do you want me to buy one for you both as well?"
"Grandpa," Ning chuckled.
Shrugging his shoulder. Grandpa Yang chuckled, "What? Bojing and Suyan already have a baby, you both should have one too."
"We are not in that phase right now," she explained.
"What phase? You don't need a phase for that," he scoffed.
Helplessly shaking her head, Ning sighed, "I am still in the hospital bedridden, what do you expect from me?"
"I mean not now obviously, you both should think about it after you return back home and feel healthy again." Glancing at the watch, grandpa Yang added, "It's almost time, I should leave now."
Looking at Yichan, he added, "Can I have a word with you outside?"
"Sure grandpa." Kissing Ning forehead, he smiled, "I'll be back soon."
When she nodded her head, he walked out of the room along with grandpa Yang.
…..
Outside.
"I always wanted you to marry Ning because you are Quan's grandson and also because Quan and I wanted to become official in-laws." Pausing for a while, grandpa Yang added, "When Ning and you decided to get married, I was more happy because Quan was finally my in-law. Though I knew you are a very capable man, I never really expressed my views about this relationship clearly. All my life, I have focused on only one thing, keeping Ning safe and making sure she leads a normal life and the way she wants to."
Helplessly shaking his head, he further explained, "I am not going to lie to you Yichan, I wanted Ning to marry you because I knew you would be able to keep her safe even if something happens to me but now I have realized that I was wrong." Patting his shoulder, he smiled, "My granddaughter is lucky that she has someone like you as her husband. I am sure that Ning is in safe hands now and you will always love her no matter what happens."
"Thanks grandpa but I feel more lucky to have Ning as my wife," Yichan proudly exclaimed.
"Of course, my granddaughter is special." Taking a deep breath, he added, "Let's talk about everything in detail later after you take Ning home. There are many things to solve and there are many people involved now, we have to be careful."
Yichan nodded his head and stated, "Okay grandpa, we can talk about it later."
"I'll take my leave now, Quan is going to kill me for being late."
After grandpa Yang left, Yichan entered the room again to have lunch with his wife.
…..
Ning and Yichan's place.
"I am not going anywhere."
Scrunching his brows, Yihong snapped, "You have no other choice Yitian, you are going back with me and your mom."
"I just said I am not going anywhere, is it that hard to understand?" Yitian calmly stated.
"Is this how you talk to your dad? Where are your manners?"
"You are the one who is trying to forcibly take me away from here when I clearly don't have any intention to leave." Pausing for a while, Yitian added, "You should just stop trying and go away with mom, it isn't a new thing for you anyway."
Gritting his teeth, Yihong snarled, "What did you just say?
Shrugging his shoulder, he scoffed, "What? Did I say something wrong? You left your son and your entire family behind in the past, I am sure it won't be hard for you to do the same once again."
Keeping quiet for quite some time, Yihong inquired, "Who told you about it?'
"No nobody has to tell me dad, I am big enough to understand everything on my own. I know why you left everything behind in the past and I also know why you decided to come back all of a sudden. You have always been like an open book to me dad, I can see right through you." Helplessly shaking his head, Yitian sighed, "And now you are doing the same thing. When on earth will you understand that running away from the fact is not a solution dad?"
Pausing for a while, he added, "You always told me that we should face our fears because that makes us stronger. But are you really following your own teachings? Your biggest fear is facing brother Yichan, the person whom you know you have wronged the most. But instead of doing that, you are repeating the same mistake again. Stop running away dad, it will just make things worse."
"You are too young Yitian, you won't understand these things."
"That is the difference between you and me dad, I am young but I can still figure out where you are wrong but you cannot." Walking towards his room, Yitian stated, "I am not going back and in the future if you wanna distract me, make sure you use a system I cannot hack into. But I don't have anything to complain about, I made lots of money from your software company."

SPECIAL AUTHOR'S NOTE:-
Just giving you all an advance heads up of my upcoming books. ^_^
i) I always wanted to write a fantasy romance book but I kept delaying it thinking I can't pull it off because it's a completely different genre but after lots of thinking and research work, I have decided to start a fantasy romance novel(vampires, werewolves & witches) which will have a modern setting. The plot is unique, interesting and well thought so I hope you all will like it.
ii) For those who don't like fantasy books, I hope you can give my book a shot but if you don't want to, there is nothing to worry about. I will also start an urban romance book alongside the fantasy one so that all my readers can stay with me.
iii) The books will be up in January 2021 after I am done with the existing ones. I know there is still time but I am super excited about it. :D
iv) I hope to see each and every one of you when I start my new book. We have been together for the last eight months. I hope we can continue this whole moving from one book to another for years to come.
Much love.
Sofia ♥
