"Alright, I will agree to all the terms you put forward. After all, aren't all those requirements the best for me too. That way, I won't have to go through all the hassle of getting a divorce and removing your name from Han's surname after we parted. Apparently, this idea of ​​yours is brilliant, Miss Liu. Oh yeah, I just remembered. If Grandpa had given you a very strange nickname, and from now on I will call you by that strange nickname, Qiqi. I think it's a very funny call. I was totally touched by the call. Hope you have a very pleasant day, Qiqi."

"So, can I get out of the hospital now?" Qiao Xin asked in the end. Being locked up in the hospital and being a prisoner there because of Xiao Long was annoying.

"Of course, I will have my confidants take care of all this. However, I only have one question. If you got out of the hospital, where would you go? Isn't that apartment not yours? Is that the apartment you shared with your lover?"

Hearing this, Qiao Xin fell silent sure enough because the apartment wasn't just her apartment. Even though she tried so hard to sell the condo and get the money, Qiao Xin would never win even though she was half the right. Qiao Xin knew who her ex-boyfriend was, a tough and treasure-crazed person. And what Qiao Xin knew, she would only feel like the most pathetic woman in the world because she would never get what she wanted at all, even if it was her right.

"I haven't even packed my things from there," Qiao Xin whispered. Hearing this, Xiao Long stopped in his tracks, and his heartfelt strange every time he saw Qiao Xin sad. Xiao Long's jaw hardened, then he took a deep breath.

"Pack up from the hospital, after that I will accompany you to pack your things from the apartment. And you can stay in my apartment for a while, before we get married."

"No, I do not want."

"You have to want, rather than sleeping on the street. Because I don't want to have a homeless wife-to-be."

Hearing this, Qiao Xin couldn't help but be silent. She looked at Xiao Long wordlessly. Qiao Xin took another deep breath, and then she turned her face away from Xiao Long.

"A matter of conditions from me, are you going to tell Grandpa? Or should I tell Grandpa directly?" Qiao Xin asked. The two of them were now walking side by side, making everyone look at them. Xiao Long seemed confused by this.

"Aren't you taking a shower? You smell trash? Or do you look really messed up right now, rotten trash?" Xiao Long asked.

"I take a shower, and I don't wear makeup. So what? There is something strange?" Qiao Xin asked very innocently.

"You're not kidding, really I would believe about all that?" Xiao Long sneered. He really couldn't believe it. How could he not? The fact that Qiao Xin had a face that looked like makeup was also actual. Her eyebrows are black, her eyelashes are thick, her cheeks are rosy with a pure white face, and her lips are red. Who would believe that the woman beside him was not wearing any makeup?

"Whatever, who cares what you say, Young Mr. Han."

"Grandfather, I have something to tell you," Xiao Long said. He was sitting with his grandfather by now, and then he fed his grandfather with the fruits he had just peeled.

"What are you talking about, Long? I've told everything to your parents. And when they find out who's going to be your wife, they really like it. Look how Grandpa's choice is right. Grandfather has never made a mistake in your favor, Long," Xiao Chuan said.

"Yes, Grandpa. I also really like Qiqi. She was a very innocent, and kind person. Also simple too, I really like it, Grandpa. However, when I talked to Qiqi about this marriage matter, she and I had decided on a few things because Grandpa was still sick too. So, Qiqi and I decided on a private marriage, Grandpa. Without reporters, without many invited guests, and without the need for public display. Grandpa knows that Grandpa's health is really unstable right now? We didn't want Grandpa to be exhausted, and that would make things even more complicated. The wedding plan, which was originally intended for happiness, will end in sadness. I don't want any of that, Grandpa. So, that's what we decided. Wouldn't it be the same with or without a party? Marriage is still the same thing, right? And I think, a wedding with a family that comes will be very pleasant. Because it will certainly make the event more sacred and private. So, what do you think Grandpa?" Xiao Long said in the end.

Honestly, he was scared to death. He knew more than anyone who his grandfather was. Xiao Chuan is a figure who always wants everything to be luxurious, especially when it comes to the marriage of his grandson. Indeed he seemed to enjoy the whole world to know that his favorite grandson would marry and get a wife of a woman of his choice. Yes, Xiao Long can only hope that his grandfather will understand.

"Good,"

"What?" Xiao Long was shocked.

"Okay, if that's your decision. That's a sign that you're mature in making decisions, Long. Grandpa will agree to whatever decision you and Qiqi have made. Whatever it is,"

Relieved, that's how Xiao Long felt. He seemed to be smiling very broadly. He never expected that his grandfather would agree to it so quickly. A thing that was beyond Xiao Long's mind at all.

"Besides, Grandpa knows Qiqi isn't from our circle. Grandpa didn't want to make her feel constrained and burdened with her new world. If she was exposed by the media, she was afraid that Qiqi would feel shocked and disheartened. So, let her adapt to our world slowly, so that she feels comfortable, and does not feel burdened by the name Han as her family name. Grandpa will always support you for whatever good your wife is, Long."

Xiao Long smiled again. Although he felt that his grandfather loved Qiao Xin too much, he didn't care. As long as his grandfather agreed, then everything would go smoothly. The contract marriage charade was about to begin in just a few more days. Xiao Long had prepared for it all.
