"I don't mind drinking it, I'm just worried my stomach won't be able to digest it." She widened her eyes, gazing at him with anticipation.
Shang Sheng smiled faintly, "Don't worry, the other side dishes are light and easy to digest."
Qin Yige blushed shyly and grabbed his large hand resting on the edge of the bed, "Hurry up and call!"
Shang Sheng lowered his gaze, glancing at their clasped hands, and then at her face. "Are you still angry?"
"..." Qin Yige was exasperated, "You order someone to bring the seafood congee. I won't be angry when I see the seafood congee."
He had no choice but to take out his phone and call, instructing the person on the other end to deliver lunch.
Qin Yige had a satisfying lunch. Although the seafood congee wasn't as fragrant as her usual, and there was less seafood, it at least had a hint of seafood flavor, temporarily satisfying her cravings.
Full and content, she patted her bulging stomach, "You'll take care of me next time you visit. You're much more considerate than your secretary!"
Shang Sheng: "You're overthinking it."
"Oh, right. I'll be discharged soon, so you won't need to take care of me anymore."
Her condition wasn't serious, and she felt much better after the IV drip.
After completing the discharge procedures in the afternoon, Shang Sheng drove her home.
As soon as he left her house, he received a call from his grandmother, Old Mrs. Shang.
"Xiao Sheng, are you still staying at Yige's place?" his grandmother asked.
"Yes."
"I heard she has a cousin staying with her, what's going on?" Old Mrs. Shang was extremely worried when she heard about this.
She wanted to know which family was so clueless to send their child to a young couple's home at this time.
"The apartment Yige lives in is in a school district, and her cousin's school is nearby."
Old Mrs. Shang said, "Then can't she stay at the dormitory? It's inconvenient for you to do anything when she's living with you. Or, you and Yige can discuss it, and you can move to your place. You have so many properties under your name, any one of them would do."
She had finally persuaded her grandson to move in willingly, and Shang Yu had even mocked Shang Sheng, saying that moving in so proactively made him seem like a live-in son-in-law.
What's wrong with being a live-in son-in-law? As long as you can marry a wife, it doesn't matter!
It's just that now, a third party has suddenly appeared, making her both angry and anxious.
"She won't go."
"You talk to her!" His grandmother was frantic. "You're not married yet, and you've already gotten the certificate, haven't you? You're legal husband and wife, what are you worried about?"
Besides, the wedding venue was already being decorated, and the wedding would be held immediately after.
Oh my, she had never seen such a foolish grandson. Terrifyingly intelligent, and terrifyingly lacking in emotional intelligence.
She was truly worried that with her grandson's personality, he wouldn't know how to please girls, and Yige might just run away one day.
"Grandma, you don't need to worry about this. I have my own plans."
Old Mrs. Shang snorted, "You have plans? By the time you're ready to act, it'll be too late."
Shang Sheng: "..."
She was too impatient.
"How about this, you shouldn't always focus on work. You must be home by nine o'clock every night to accompany Yige."
"Grandma, that's a bit difficult."
Old Mrs. Shang narrowed her eyes, "What's difficult? You must be home by nine o'clock. If you're not home, I'll find you wherever you are!"
"..." Shang Sheng pinched the bridge of his nose. "What are you so anxious about?"
"Anxious to hold a great-grandchild!" she replied, frankly and directly.
Shang Sheng fell silent.
"It's decided then. Starting today, be home by nine o'clock, and send me a photo on WeChat!" After speaking, the old lady immediately hung up the phone.
The luxury car sped down the road. Shang Sheng looked out the window, lost in thought.
That night, the doorbell of Qin Yige's residence rang. She dragged her slightly uncomfortable body to open the door.
"Hi, surprise!"
As soon as the door opened, her voice preceded her.
It was Shang Yu.
Besides Shang Yu, there were Chu Rang and Chu Muwan, all looking at Qin Yige with smiles.
After the surprise, Qin Yige was overjoyed, "Why are you all here?"
She was bored at home!
Shang Yu thrust a large bouquet of lilies into her arms. "Brother Rang and I ran into my brother at an external banquet. He said you were home. We originally planned to invite you out for some fun, but he said you were sick, so we came to see you. Sister-in-law, aren't you touched?"
She nodded vigorously, "Touched, touched! Love you all to death!"
"If you're touched, hurry up and let us in. I'm exhausted carrying these fruits!" Chu Rang held up two fruit baskets to show her.
Qin Yige quickly made way for them to enter.
Linking her arm, Chu Muwan looked at her still slightly pale face with concern, "Poor thing, what's been happening to you lately? You fell into the water and then you were hospitalized."
"Maybe it's bad luck!" Qin Yige thought for a moment before replying.
Chu Muwan chuckled, "Then we've come to help you change your luck!"
"Thank you!"
They entered the living room, chatting and laughing. Chu Muwan and Shang Yu went to wash and cut the fruit, while Chu Rang stayed to chat with Qin Yige.
"If your stomach wasn't upset, we'd have to have a couple of drinks today."
Qin Yige placed the flowers on the table, admiring and arranging them as she replied, "I have red wine here. You all drink, don't mind me."
Chu Rang: "We drove here, so we won't drink. Where's your tea? I'll make some tea, and we'll have tea instead of wine."
"I'll go find it for you." She hadn't had any in a long time.
When Chu Rang had finished making the tea, Shang Yu came out of the kitchen with two fruit platters.
The four of them sat in the living room. They first asked about Qin Yige's and Shang Sheng's recent situation. Qin Yige replied with a simple 'it's alright'.
Shang Yu then brought up Chen Ling, "Sister-in-law, when I went to the company, I heard someone say you called Chen Ling a dog? What exactly happened?"
He was dying of curiosity. He hadn't gotten any answers from those people, and his brother wouldn't tell him, so he could only ask the person involved.
Qin Yige popped a grape into her mouth, "Something like that! Although my exact words weren't that."
Chu Rang leaned back on the sofa lazily and asked with a smile, "Didn't Shang Sheng punish you?"
Qin Yige: "He did."
He shook his head, "I don't believe it."
Qin Yige rolled her eyes, "If you don't believe me, why are you asking!"
Shang Yu and Chu Muwan burst into laughter.
Chu Rang added, "Given your personality, if Shang Sheng dared to punish you, you would have run away long ago."
Qin Yige forced a laugh, "How could that be?"
Although she had considered it, she wasn't sure if she would have actually run away.
Chu Rang thought, "Actually, to be honest, if you, Miss Qin—no, Mrs. Shang, just said the word, Shang Sheng would definitely fire Chen Ling. Why bother with such effort and trouble to fight her indirectly?"
Chu Muwan shook her head thoughtfully, "Not necessarily. I believe you when you talk about others, but Chen Ling has been with A Sheng for so many years. From intern to graduation, and now, she's long been an inseparable right-hand person. And Yige and A Sheng's relationship has only just eased up for a few days?"
Shang Yu was dismissive of their words, "It's fine. If my brother won't fire her, I will. I'm also a shareholder in the company."
Although his shareholding ratio wasn't high, he could still fire a secretary.
