"How are you feeling now?" Yu Mei stepped inside the hospital after finishing her call with Jun Zixuan. She informed him about it beforehand lest he heard it from somewhere else and started worrying.

The old man tilted his head to look at her, his expressions did not reveal much of what he was thinking.

Yu Mei came to stand beside his bed as she looked at the disheveled man. Although the mud on him was cleaned, his white hair was in a mess and his eyes had heavy bags underneath, "The doctor said that your blood sugar levels have dropped. That's why you fainted in front of my car. I have bought the prescribed medicines for you," She pointed her palm towards the bedside table.

The old man nodded as he averted his gaze.

The corner of her lips twitched. Was she that displeasing to look at? She sighed, "You should stay at the hospital until you feel completely fine. I will get going if there is nothing else-"

"Peel an apple," The old man interrupted her as he spoke in a hoarse voice.

Her lips parted slightly as she pointed her finger at herself, "Me?"

"Is there someone else here?" He asked coldly.

She blinked, "Alright, I will do it," She picked up an apple from the fruit basket before sitting on the hospital chair. Since he was a patient, she would let him have the honor of eating an apple peeled by her precious hands.

While peeling it, she did not realize when most of the apple got peeled only leaving a hollow structure towards the middle.

She glanced at the old man who was looking at the apple in her hand in focus.

"Let's have another try," She smiled awkwardly as she picked up another apple but it also got over peeled.

At this point, she placed more focus on this, feeling a bit embarrassed. It was once in a blue moon kind of thing that a weak old man asked her to give him a peeled apple, she felt ashamed for not being able to do it.

Even Yu Jinhai peeled better apples than her.

Fifteen minutes later, all the apples in her hand were rolling on the floor like someone had molested them and torn off their red peels and body flesh.

"I will get a batch of new apples and ask the staff to do it for you," She smiled. As ashamed as she was, she was not good at this and the old man seems to be very hungry.

"I don't mind grapes," The old man spoke sternly as he stroked his thick beard, "Peel them by yourself."

Her eyelids twitched. What is up with this overbearingness? Letting out a sigh in her heart, she picked up the grapes and grabbed a plate from a table before diligently trying to peel them.

But unlike the apple which was reduced to seeds, the grapes refused to be peeled by her.

She missed Steward Gu at this point. That kind man always peeled grapes for her since the day she was reborn.

She glanced at the Old Man, "See bossy Grandpa, it's not that I did not try. But asking me to do such things is like offering chocolate to a dog. Since you are hungry, I will get someone over to-"

"No," Bossy Grandpa? The Old Man's beard trembled, having never been addressed in a bizarre way before, "You peel it."

Yu Mei felt an oncoming headache. She glanced at the grapes in her hand before looking at the old man who was prompting her with his eyes to work on them.

"Old Master Han is rather idle to be entertaining my wife."

Both the heads turned towards the source of the voice as they watched Jun Zixuan stepping inside the hospital room.

With one of his hands tucked inside his pocket, he made his way towards Yu Mei and grabbed the plate of grapes from her lap before he placed it on the bedside table.

"She is not your wife...yet," Old Master Han said as he glanced at the Jun boy who was betrothed to his granddaughter Han Jingyi and the latter was very vocal about her feelings towards him.

Yu Mei leaned back on the chair as she raised an eyebrow. Old Master Han, is it?

Although she saw his picture from the Celebration night but she could not see his face because it was hidden by the cap he was wearing and the pictures were also quite blurry.

"Your investigation lags," Jun Zixuan glanced at the old man without a shift in his expressions, "She is my wife, legally," Although it was not true. His marriage with Yu Mei Zhen has been limited to some papers where she signed before Steward Gu brought them to him for his signature.

So truth to be told, he has never rightfully married Han Mei but he would do so soon.

And no one else has to know about this.

Old Master Han frowned. This boy would never lie then what he said...

Jun Zixuan extended his hand towards Yu Mei and she placed her palms on his as she pushed herself to her feet.

His gaze landed on the disoriented apples on the floor, "Are you hurt?" He asked her seriously.

She almost choked on the air. Even if she could not peel the apple properly, where would a poor apple find a way to hurt her?

Old Master Han almost puked a mouthful of blood. Getting hurt by peeling fruits. It was something new to his ears.

"I am fine," Yu Mei cleared her throat.

"Let's go then," Jun Zixuan turned around, still holding onto her hand. He paused for a moment and glanced at the old man from above his shoulders, "You will get your peeled fruits within a few minutes and I will appreciate it if you stay away from my 'WIFE' in the future.".

With that said, he walked out of the hospital while still holding onto her.
