Chapter 157

It was as if he wished his eyes were grown onto Xia Xia.

"Is Grandma cooking personally?" Shu Xia asked immediately.

Given Qiao Nainai's physical condition, she should only rest quietly; it is not suitable for her to be too tired. It would be better to go out for walks occasionally, have contact with nature, and get grounded.

Seeing Shu Xia's worry, Qiao Nainai immediately smiled and said, "Yes, I'm in good condition today and really want to make some things. Don't worry, Grandma's health has been much better these past two days. Now that I see you two coming together to celebrate my birthday, Grandma is even happier."

"This is our birthday gift for Grandma." Qiao Muting put down the jewelry in his hand, then added a sentence, "Xia Xia picked it out."

Qiao Nainai was not very interested at first. When Qiao Muting picks things out, he just buys whichever is the most expensive; he doesn't have the mind to choose styles or know what women would like.

Upon hearing that it was picked by Xia Xia, she immediately took it over and took out the necklace, unable to put it down.

"It's so beautiful! It's the best-looking jewelry I've received in these past few years. Quick, help Grandma put it on."

"As long as Grandma likes it." Shu Xia helped put the necklace on her.

Qiao Nainai looked in the mirror, unable to put it down, "Beautiful, Xia Xia's taste is truly good! It looked good just by itself, and it looks even better on."

"I also bought a set of clothes for Grandma. After Steward Qin cleans them, Grandma can see if they fit," Shu Xia said again.

Qiao Nainai felt extremely warm inside, "Good, good, good. Xia Xia is just so thoughtful. I've been sick for this period of time and haven't had much time to go shopping. I really have grown tired of wearing the clothes at home."

"When Grandma's health is a bit better in a couple of days, I will accompany Grandma to go shopping," Shu Xia immediately coaxed.

"Good, good, good, Grandma just likes you accompanying me. The food is almost cold, you must be hungry too, right? Let's eat first." Qiao Nainai sat down with a chuckle.

The elderly woman does not like eating cake very much, so she does not prepare a cake when celebrating her birthday every year.

Moreover, she also does not like having too many people; she only likes having the closest people together to celebrate a birthday.

Quiet, yet also possessing the warmth of a birthday celebration.

After the meal, Qiao Nainai couldn't wait to try on the clothes Shu Xia had bought.

"Mu Ting, look quickly, the clothes Xia Xia bought for me are so beautiful. Wearing them, Grandma has such poise and looks more than ten years younger!"

Qiao Muting's eyes also lit up; it was as if he had returned to more than ten years ago, when Grandma was just like this in his childhood.

His eyes flickered with warmth, and after nodding, he looked at Shu Xia, "The taste is indeed very good."

Shu Xia blushed a little from being praised by the two of them, and then discovered Qiao Muting staring at her. Suddenly not knowing what to say, she looked at Qiao Nainai and said, "The designer of this brand designed it well."

"It's because you picked it well," Qiao Muting said.

In these past few years, he had rarely seen Grandma this happy.

It seemed that ever since she met Shu Xia, Grandma had let go of some of the heavy burdens in her heart; her whole person was at ease and relaxed, and her smiles were from the heart.

Involuntarily, he thought again that the more he spent time with Shu Xia, the more he understood that she was a good girl.

It is just a pity that he cannot give her love.

If...

She did not want love, perhaps they could spend a lifetime together.

Following that, Shu Xia accompanied Qiao Nainai to watch a variety show.

A romance variety show; the two of them watched it with great interest.

Steward Qin prepared fruit and snacks.

In reality, it was all eaten by Shu Xia; the elderly woman couldn't eat anything else after having some food, and now watching the variety show was just to help digest the food.

Qiao Muting rarely didn't go to the study upstairs; he also sat on the sofa to the side, watching the grandmother and granddaughter sitting together guessing who was falling for whom and what was happening with whom.

When Shu Xia was with Grandma, her whole person was very relaxed, her smile was from the heart, like the smile of a child, and the whole house was filled with Shu Xia's laughter.

It was far more spontaneous and cute than when she was alone with him.

The man narrowed his eyes, revealing a look of asceticism and coldness.

Shu Xia inadvertently bumped into the man's gaze.
