MY VERY BRAVE WIFE
Chapter 13

After Yang Yulong easily agreed to the plan in the span of three seconds, Zhao Lifei knew that he was cornered with nowhere to run. So, he willingly gave up on Yang Ruqin's plan and prayed for the best.

Right after Yang Yulong agreed to his plan, Yang Ruqin's phone rang. Her manager called Yang Ruqin to audition, for a perfume campaign from a very famous company. Without the strength to go against his harsh manager, Yang Ruqin regretfully parted with Zhao Lifei.

Sometimes, Zhao Lifei comforted how sticky Yang Ruqin was. They've been like this since they put on diapers...

Zhao Lifei walked out of the hospital and realized how late in the afternoon it was. The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and it was only two in the afternoon.

Since his schedule was empty without an important meeting with his grandfather, Zhao Lifei decided to spend some time and roam the streets of Shenbei.

After a few hours of thoughtless window shopping, enjoying lunch at a cute little cafe, and visiting a nearby bookstore, the sun finally sets.

Zhao Lifei glanced at his watch and was surprised to read that it was now six o'clock. He was more surprised even after walking a long distance, he was still around the First Hospital. In fact, the big white building was right across the street.

Deciding that it was best to go home, she prepared to call a taxi home, but something caught her attention.

An old granny was selling vegetables, but she didn't seem to do much business. His movement was still full, even though he spent a long day trying to sell it.

Zhao Lifei hurriedly walked to the nearest corner store, bought a pack of hand warmers, then walked over to the old woman.

"Good day, Mom." Zhao Lifei politely greeted the old woman.

He was surprised to see the wide variety of vegetables grown locally. They look very fresh and grow well.

"Good day, young lady." The woman smiled, revealing a fine frown like an old grandmother.

"It's cold enough tonight, it's supposed to warm you up." Zhao Lifei put the hand warmers into the hands of the grandmother, surprising her in the process.

"Geez, thank you, baby. I don't think young people are so polite now." He brightly said, putting a few extra pieces of vegetables into Zhao Lifei's bag for free.

"Ah, no need-" But it was too late, the woman had already stuffed some additional items into Zhao Lifei's bag.

Don't worry, honey. Goodness is priceless." The woman smiled again, her eyes wrinkled.

Zhao Lifei bit her lip and decided that it was best to buy more. The price of vegetables is hefty, perhaps a little lower than commercially grown supermarket crops, but grandmothers are very humble about the price.

"Geez, how big a family you have to feed." The granny chuckled at the amount of vegetables Zhao Lifei had bought.

"No, no, I don't have a family. I really enjoy eating vegetables." Zhao Lifei chuckled at the idea of a family. Does he look that old? Maybe a new mom? The sudden thought of becoming a mother pierced her heart. Suddenly, painful memories threatened to reappear, but Zhao Lifei managed to calm down and suppress him.

"My grandfather loved organic food and grew locally from the countryside. He thinks it's healthier." Zhao Lifei explained, take some more green vegetables.

She had not made any home-cooked meals for him for a long time and thought it might be a good cue to visit him and cook for him immediately.

"That's it." The woman nodded to herself, weighing the vegetables Zhao Lifei had picked up.

There was something fishy about this kind and gentle grandmother, but Zhao Lifei ignored her. He blames the night sky and the unpleasant light of the street lamp.

"You must go home now, young lady. It's getting dark. It's not good for a beautiful woman like you to roam the streets." The granny said anxiously, hurriedly packing the vegetables.

"Thank you, grandma. I hope you also plan to go home early. The cold is starting to feel. It's not good for your health and body." Zhao Lifei took off the scarf she was wearing and placed it on the woman's neck.

Now, he valued older people more and worried about them.

"Geez, what a great scarf! Are you sure you want to give it?" The woman asked, her hand lightly touching the soft material.

Zhao Lifei was ready to nod. "of course. It'll keep you warm." He said, help the woman wrap her around his neck.

Thank you dear. You're too good. " The women said warmly, as her wrinkled hands clapped the contrasting smooth hands of Zhao Lifei.

"Now, go. Don't want you to come home late." The woman jokingly chased Zhao Lifei away. He laughed lightly and after saying goodbye to the woman, he started walking away.

The entire time he walked away, he was unaware of the heavy gaze on his back. His gaze had been fixed on him for a while now, from the first moment Zhao Lifei decided to buy a pack of hand warmers ...

The man was surprised to see Zhao Lifei acting so courteously towards the old man. He thinks he is incapable of kindness and puts the needs of others above his own ...

Is that really Zhao Lifei?

No, it was probably just a woman who resembled him. The Zhao Lifei she knew, was a vengeful and cruel woman who would not understand the word "goodness" even if you tied her up and forced her to remember it.

Zheng Tianyi took one last puff of his cigarette before throwing it on the ground and turning it off with the heel of his leather shoes.

He was originally going to visit the hospital when he heard Big Boss Yang Enterprise was seriously injured in a terrible car accident.

Zheng Tianyi did not plan to look at Zhao Lifei, but his curious eyes could not help but follow his interaction with the old granny. He was so shocked to see his actions like that, he tended to look further to prove that it was really Zhao Lifei that he was looking at.

But his car was a few meters away from the wagon, so it was difficult to catch a glimpse of the woman.

"Master, it's not good to stand in the cold for too long. We have to go inside and salute CEO Yang." His personal secretary, Chen Xing, a beautiful woman in her early twenties, spoke up.

He was curious about what he saw while he was smoking, but since Zheng Tianyi's body was very tall and he was standing on his left side, he couldn't see anything.

"Okay, let's go." Zheng Tianyi said briefly. He walked into the hospital with his hands tucked in his suit pocket.

Cheng Xing followed him but stood one step behind him out of respect. He checked his tablet and realized there was a new message

"Princess Wang, Zhao Linhua's birthday is about to arrive. He has invited you to come, will you accept the invitation?" Chen Xing delivered the message.

Zheng Tianyi did not think of his decision before answering him.

"resist. I don't have time for this useless birthday party." Zheng Tianyi walked through the hospital's automatic sliding doors and headed for the elevator.

"Ah, but Ms. Mengxi is Zhao Linhua's friend and has expressed an interest-"

"Then accept the invitation." Zheng Tianyi smiled at the opportunity to make Xia Mengxi happy.

Recently, they had a small misunderstanding, and she was angry at him.

Maybe this birthday party will cheer him up...
