Chapter 49 The Confrontation Between Two Men

Xia Chuqi felt a little guilty, lowered his head and didn't even dare to look at Grandma Tao's gaze, but just stammered in a low voice: "I actually wanted to visit you for a long time, but something went wrong later..."

"Good boy, you'll be very happy to see grandma now!" Grandma Tao smiled slightly, looked at her thin appearance, and couldn't help but say with distress: "You have become thinner and have suffered a lot outside, right?"

Xia Chuqi was stunned for a moment, raised her eyes and met Old Mrs. Tao's gaze that was clearly visible to everything, and hesitatedly said: "Grandma Tao, do you know that I was kicked out by my dad?"

Old Mrs. Tao nodded happily and sighed: "I heard that I wanted to persuade your father, but I was not very nimble, so I never went to the old house of Xia family to talk to your father. You are stubborn, but your father is too strict, so you two have become like this..."

Xia Chuqi lowered her head guiltily. In fact, the conflict between her and her father was because of the marriage between the two families, but Grandma Tao did not mention the marriage between the two families, which made her more ashamed and uneasy.

"Grandma Tao, actually I..." Xia Chuqi stuttered in a low voice, not knowing how to explain to Grandma Tao.

"Silly child, I know everything you want to say. I rashly asked you to marry my grandson Mingxuan, and didn't tell you in advance. It's not surprising that you have the mentality of resisting!"

When Mrs. Tao said this, she couldn't help but sigh: "Speaking of this, I am not a good woman. If I hadn't suggested first, you and your father wouldn't have any objections about this matter!"

When Xia Chuqi saw that Grandma Tao was the first to blame herself, she shook her head and retorted: "No, this is not your fault, it is me who is too willful..."

Although this sudden engagement was the fuse of her quarrel with her father, there had been too many conflicts between them, so how could she put the blame on the elderly Grandma Tao?

"Although the marriage is the order of my parents, I still have to ask what you mean. It is that your father and I are too impatient. You are still young after all..."

Old Mrs. Tao patted Xia Chuqi's back of her hand, and comforted her with a faint smile, "When I am well and discharged from the hospital, I will persuade your father and daughter not to lose harmony because of this!"

"Grandma Tao, I..." Xia Chuqi looked at Grandma Tao's affectionate gaze, and her eyes became warm. Faced with Grandma Tao who cared about herself like this and loved herself as her granddaughter, she never thought of marrying Tao Mingxuan and could not say the words she said in front of Grandma Tao.

She didn't even know whether Grandma Tao had heard from her father that the real reason she was kicked out of the house...

"Grandma Tao, I'll help you wash fruits!" Xia Chuqi stood up guiltily, picked Grandma Tao's favorite Hongli from the fruit basket, and walked to the bathroom.

Because the faucet was clattering, she did not hear any other movements from the ward until she took the washed Hongti to Grandma Tao's bed: "Grandma Tao, Hongti has been washed, you can try it!"

She picked up Hongti and was about to feed it to Grandma Tao, but she saw a tall figure standing in front of her. She subconsciously raised her head, and a familiar face came into her eyes. She held a bowl of Hongti's hand and shook slightly.

"Xiao Qi, I finally saw you-" Tao Mingxuan steadily grabbed the bowl in her hand with a red lift and looked at her gently.

"Brother Mingxuan, you are here..." Xia Chuqi smiled a little embarrassedly, for fear that he would question him about running away in the cemetery that day.

Seeing that the atmosphere of the two of them was a little strange, Old Mrs. Tao hurriedly smiled and said, "Mingxuan, Xiaoqi heard about my hospitalization and bought fruit to see me in the hospital. He is such a considerate and good child!"

A sentence instantly resolved the embarrassment of meeting the two. Xia Chuqi hurriedly handed Hongti to Mrs. Tao: "Grandma Tao, do you taste sweet?"

"It's very sweet, don't stand there, try it..." Old Mrs. Tao said with a hurried smile.

However, neither Xia Chuqi nor Tao Mingxuan were in the mood to taste the fruit until Xia Chuqi found that the old lady Tao's medicine bottle was almost over, so she stood up and said, "Grandma Tao, I'll go and call the nurse for you!"

As she said that, she got up and walked out of the ward. Old Mrs. Tao hurriedly winked at her grandson and whispered: "Why don't you chase it out!"

Tao Mingxuan nodded and chased Xia Chuqi and left the ward.

Xia Chuqi called the nurse and was about to go back to the ward when he saw Tao Mingxuan standing in front of him at some point, looking at him with a heavy gaze.

"You..." The two of them spoke in unison, and then they couldn't help laughing.

"You'll say it first!" Tao Mingxuan looked at her gently and said with a smile.

"Brother Mingxuan, why did you suddenly stop writing?" Xia Chuqi asked with concern. She thought that Grandma Tao had a big problem in her health. Now seeing that Grandma Tao is in good spirits, she felt relieved.

Tao Mingxuan did not answer her directly, but said in a deep voice: "Xiaoqi, then you can answer me first, why did you see me running away in the cemetery that day?"

Xia Chuqi was silent for a moment before whispering: "Because I don't know how to face Brother Mingxuan, after all, our engagement..."

"Xiao Qi, tell me, is that true?" Tao Mingxuan's eyes fell on her flat belly, and the dim light flashed in her eyes: "Who is that man?"

Xia Chuqi was shocked. It seemed that he knew the reason why his father drove him away.

She was thinking about how to answer, and a calm voice came from far and near: "It's me!"

Xia Chuqi and Tao Mingxuan looked up at the person coming at the same time, with different expressions.

Xia Chuqi looked at Feng Xun almost with a dark face. Isn’t it messy enough if he is here to do something?

Feng Xun turned a blind eye to the question in her eyes, walked to Xia Chuqi generously, gently sucked her waist, and his movements were naturally intimate: "Why don't you ask me to come with you?"

"..." Xia Chuqi was about to push him away, but he lowered his head in her ear and reminded her in a voice that only two people could hear: "If you don't want to be entangled by him, just listen to me!"

Xia Chuqi could only move stiffly and let Feng Xun hug him.

"Hello for the first time meeting--" Feng Xun saw that Xia Chuqi stopped struggling, his lips curled slightly, stretched out his hand to Tao Mingxuan, who was in poor face in front of him, and greeted him politely: "I am Feng Xun, Xia Chuqi's boyfriend!"

Tao Mingxuan looked at Feng Xun with a little inquiry and scrutiny. When he heard his self-introduction, he saw him hugging Xia Chuqi's waist openly in front of him, and Xia Chuqi did not resist, and his eyes suddenly sank.
