From-DIDIDA Novels
Two days later!
The group returned to Sacred Land Zhongyuan.
The first thing that Cheng Biyuan did after he had gotten home was to enter the dimension with his daughter. He burst into tears when he saw his mother.
Fang Shuyun, still lying in bed, did not wake up as Little Yuteng was treating her and didn’t want to her to become too emotional.
Looking at her father losing his composure, Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn’t help but sighed within herself. She had no idea where to start to comfort him.
“Xiao Xiao, when will your grandmother wake up?” ask Cheng Biyuan as he looked up at his daughter and blotted the corners of his eyes.
Taking a look at her grandmother, she said to her father, “Dad, it will be easy to wake grandma. Little Yuteng is keeping her asleep.”
“Why?”
“Because grandma hadn’t had a lot of real rest in the last ten or so years. She had locked her mind up and was like nothing but a shell. If we let she see you all of a sudden, all of her emotions would explode and that’d cause damage to her soul and put her in danger.”
“How come that be?” asked Cheng Biyuan as he looked at his mother, dumbfounded.
“Grandma was at loss at first, then she blocked out her consciousness. You could say that in the last ten or so years, she spent her days as nothing but a shell. We must now let her rest for a period of time and sleeping is the best treatment for her right now.”
“Okay, as long as we are treating her.”
Cheng Biyuan nodded and then said to her, “Xiao Xiao, you can go take care of whatever else you need to. I want to spend some time here with your grandmother. I will have Little Yuteng let me out in a little bit.”
“Okay!”
Cheng Xiao Xiao acknowledged him and left the mansion. She left the dimension after she had talked to Little Yuteng quickly.
The matters concerning the Capital City Cheng’s were taken care of with the most direct method. It was good for everyone. Especially Elder, his entire temperament was different. He no longer spent his days with a frown.
Cheng Huihui, learning that they had been avenged, bawled nonstop with her nephew in her arms.
One way or another, the days had gone on.
In the days that followed, Cheng Xiao Xiao would spend all her time in the cherry forest. Any of the family member who wanted to look for her would have to go look for her there. Old Mrs. Luo finally noticed something.
Her granddaughter had never greeted her properly. Baffled, she talked to her daughter about it.
Mrs. Cheng had no idea what was going through her daughter’s mind either so she made up the excuse that she has been busy.
Gong Zixuan also found this odd so she went to look for Cheng Xiao Xiao.
The two of them sat inside a small pavilion within Yuteng Pavilion. Seeing at how Gong Zixuan looked like she had something to say but not saying it out loud, Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn’t help but asked her, “What’s the matter? Just tell me. Is there something that you wanted to ask but are embarrassed to?”
“Xiao Xiao, do you have issues with old Mrs. Luo?” Gong Zixuan finally asked the question that was on her mind after thinking about it for a little while.
“Oh….” So that’s what she wanted to ask about. Cheng Xiao Xiao was a little bit surprised by that. She chuckled and said, “Big sister Zixuan, I think you are overthinking this. Why would I have any issues with her?”
“That’s not true. I know that you do!”
Gong Zixuan has a very determined look on her. She stared intensely at Cheng Xiao Xiao with her beautiful eyes. “Xiao Xiao, I know you. If you truly have no problems with her, you would be avoiding her the way you do right now. That’s not who you are and I know that.”
“What are you talking about?
Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled and looked over at the plants in front of her, avoiding making eye contacts with Gong Zixuan. “I just want to make sure that I am giving you space so you can spend time with your future mother-in-law. Are you saying that what I am doing is wrong?”
