Chapter 61

After a few tumultuous days, Zong Mo enjoyed the remaining half of his vacation on the island. Before leaving, he had his assistant help him return Lu Bo’s gift, completely cutting off any chance of him giving it to him again.
A few days after returning home, after a four-month interval, Ruan Chi once again proposed to take his “grandson’s wife” to see his grandfather.
At this moment, hearing this seemingly joking identity of “grandson’s wife,” Zong Mo’s feelings were quite complicated.
“It’s not the New Year. Why do I have to go with you again?”
“The doctor said he should have woken up a while ago, but he hasn’t,” Ruan Chi said. “Maybe if you go again, he’ll wake up.”
Zong Mo: ?
He’s supposed to be a male grandson’s wife to bring good luck?
If good luck doesn’t work, maybe he can scare him awake?
He didn’t mind accompanying Ruan Chi to visit his bedridden grandfather, but knowing that the old man was really supposed to wake up, he didn’t want to go at all.

He hadn’t wanted to go on the first day of the New Year mainly because of the cross-dressing, which was embarrassing. And he was pretending to be a “grandson’s wife,” which made him nervous and uneasy for fear of being exposed.
This time, he didn’t want to go, still because of “grandson’s wife.”
Because he had really developed the idea of forming a family with Ruan Chi, but the identity he wanted was “grandson’s husband”!
Dancing in front of that business tycoon with such thoughts, his sense of unease would be multiplied several times.
So Zong Mo tried to make a request, “Can I not wear women’s clothing?”
Ruan Chi: “Hmm?”
He didn’t immediately refute, giving him time to explain his reason.
Zong Mo wracked his brains and said, “You’re a celebrity now. If you’re photographed entering and exiting a hospital with a beautiful woman, you’ll definitely be on the trending list with a scandal. The marketing accounts might even start rumors that you’re secretly married and are at the hospital to accompany your wife for a prenatal check-up.”
This reason was very reasonable!
But Ruan Chi only picked out two words, “Beautiful woman?”
Zong Mo nodded vigorously, “Mm!”
He thought to himself: Isn’t he? Otherwise, how could he be called “wife” by the entire internet!?
Ruan Chi smiled and didn’t force him to wear women’s clothing anymore.

Zong Mo thought for a moment and added, “CEO Ruan, if your grandfather suddenly wakes up, can you say I’m your friend?”
Although he was now a glamorous artist, his ability to make money was far inferior to that of a businessman. He had read many novels before and knew that many wealthy families looked down on celebrities who showed their faces in public. For now, he didn’t want the old man to know about his relationship with Ruan Chi.
Ruan Chi didn’t ask why and agreed, “Sure.”

Arriving at this high-end hospital again, Zong Mo’s state of mind was completely different. He couldn’t stop his thoughts from running wild all the way.
Because he had made a big man impersonate a “grandson’s wife,” Zong Mo had always thought Ruan Chi was joking, or deliberately teasing him.
But at that time, Ruan Chi had also said that he didn’t want to find a girl to pretend to be his grandson’s wife to deceive people, but having him cross-dress was not deceiving.
Zong Mo had never been able to figure out the logic. But after getting along for so long, Ruan Chi was a bit of a drama queen, but it was also true that he didn’t like to deceive people.
Walking to the door of the hospital room, Zong Mo’s thoughts suddenly cleared up.
If he replaced “wife” with another term, such as lover, spouse, partner…
Then Ruan Chi’s contradiction would be solved.
Zong Mo looked at the calm person beside him in disbelief. What was this… did he recognize him as family on the first day of the New Year?
He wasn’t even sure if the current Ruan Chi liked him. If he traced it back to the first day of the New Year… it was completely impossible no matter how he thought about it!!

Ruan Chi just happened to push open the door of the hospital room and walked in before him.
Zong Mo quickly followed and saw the old man lying quietly on the bed. His tense mood instantly relaxed.
He had dared to ask the main gong several times if he liked him, but he had never dared to ask Ruan Chi.
He could beat around the bush, for example, by asking, “Why did you bring me to see your grandfather?”
Zong Mo was still hesitating. Ruan Chi was already sitting by the bed, talking to the sleeping person.
He greeted him, briefly talked about his recent situation, and then talked at length about company management and operations, which Zong Mo knew nothing about.
Zong Mo temporarily put aside his own questions, watched silently, and listened quietly.
When Ruan Chi was talking to his grandfather, his tone was not very gentle, about the same as when he was in a good mood. His expression was also very faint, even more vivid and interesting when he was acting.
After he had almost finished talking, the phone in his pocket rang in succession.
Ruan Chi took out his phone and walked over. Zong Mo noticed that this was not the phone model he usually used, probably a work phone. As expected, Ruan Chi also said to him, “I’m going out to take a call and handle some things. You wait for me here.”
Zong Mo: …?
Why did he have to wait here?
Wait, why wasn’t he the one going out?
Before he could ask, Ruan Chi had already walked out quickly, closing the door behind him.
Zong Mo: …

Good thing he wasn’t wearing women’s clothing today. He wasn’t very worried about the old man suddenly waking up, so he sat down in the chair by the bed to rest.
He hadn’t dared to look at this epic-level tycoon carefully last time. At this moment, he curiously sized him up. Time never defeats a beauty, and a handsome man is the same. Even though his face was full of the traces of time, he could still see the high-quality genes passed down from the general outline of the old man’s features.
Zong Mo casually glanced at him, then turned his gaze to the closed door.
A weather-beaten, withered finger suddenly moved.
Zong Mo didn’t notice until a heavy, low cough came from behind him.
Hmm…?
He turned his head to look at the bed. He saw a layer of white mist covering the transparent respirator mask, and the curve on the heart rate monitor next to it was also fluctuating greatly.
What’s going on…?
He quickly stood up and was about to go out to find Ruan Chi. The old man, who had been lying quietly in bed for who knows how many years, nimbly raised his own hand and took off the mask.
Before his eyelids had lifted, he first instructed, “Water.”
Zong Mo immediately froze.
There had been a male and a female caregiver in the hospital room, but Ruan Chi had driven them away as soon as he arrived. He didn’t know where the caregivers had gone now, nor did he know if Ruan Chi was still outside the door.
The old man couldn’t wait. He quickly got a cup, filled it with half cold water and half hot water from the water dispenser to a suitable temperature, and placed it on the bedside table.
He couldn’t just let the newly awakened old man get up and drink by himself. Zong Mo used both hands to help him up, carefully avoiding the various tubes, and also propped up the soft pillow for him to lean against.
After he was done, Zong Mo saw a row of mechanical buttons under the lifted corner of the quilt.
Right, he had seen it on TV. Hospital beds could usually be automatically folded and raised.
Such a high-end hospital was unlikely to require him to use such a primitive method of care.
Zong Mo: …
Pretending to be a caregiver and messing up on the first step was quite something. Good thing he wasn’t pretending to be a grandson’s wife today.
But Ruan Chi had said his grandfather’s eyesight was poor. He probably… couldn’t see clearly, right?

Old Master Ruan indeed did not become suspicious and drank a few sips of the water he handed him with peace of mind.
Zong Mo said with concern, “Drink slowly, don’t choke.”
The moment he finished speaking, he choked.
He coughed his lungs out, his face instantly turning the color of pig liver.
Zong Mo’s scalp tingled. Fearing that his poor care would cause the old man to pass away, he hurriedly patted his back.
After a while of comforting, Old Master Ruan’s breathing slowly calmed down.
Zong Mo was slightly relieved and was about to go out and call Ruan Chi over, but the old man asked first, “Are you the new caregiver Little Chi found?”
Admitting was not right, and not admitting was not right either.
Zong Mo thought for a moment and said vaguely, “Hmm… he went out to take a call. Shall I go and get him?”
Only then did Old Master Ruan lift his eyelids. His sharp gaze swept across his face, and he said with certainty, “You’re not a caregiver, are you?”
Zong Mo: ?
What about the poor eyesight?
Thinking on the bright side, it might be because he was far more handsome than an ordinary caregiver.
Taking these words as a compliment, Zong Mo’s tension eased a little, but the old man’s sharp questions came one after another, “Did Little Chi bring you here?”
Zong Mo: …
Old Master Ruan was indeed his CEO Ruan’s own grandfather.
Cold sweat kept crawling up his back, itchy and tingly. Zong Mo swallowed and continued to be vague, “Mm, shall I go and get him?”
“He’ll come back on his own when he’s done,” Old Master Ruan said.
Zong Mo was completely out of options.

The old man had just woken up. His voice was still hoarse, but he had a lot to say. He said softly, as if to himself, “He actually left you here alone with me…”
Zong Mo didn’t hear clearly and thought the old man had some request. The moment before he had wanted to run, but now he leaned back in and listened attentively, “Hmm? What did you say?”
Old Master Ruan only asked, “Who are you?”
Zong Mo introduced himself in his heart: I’m the golden canary who wants to be your grandson’s husband.
The old man might jump up from his deathbed and beat him up to see how much he was worth.
Zong Mo sat back down by the bed, his hands clasped on his lap, and said obediently, “My name is Zong Mo.”
Perhaps because it was tiring to talk too much, Old Master Ruan only picked out a keyword to repeat, “Is that so?”
Zong Mo: …
Having served CEO Ruan for so long, he of course understood that this meant he wanted to get to the bottom of it.
“I’m an actor, twenty-two this year,” Zong Mo took out his phone and showed it to the supposedly poor-sighted person. “You see, this is my Weibo.”
I’m not lying to you!
Old Master Ruan frowned, seemingly still not satisfied with his answer.
Zong Mo secretly pondered, suspecting that the old man wanted to ask about his relationship with Ruan Chi.
But the old man didn’t press. Perhaps he had guessed it from his profession. He suddenly let out a long sigh.
Zong Mo: ?
Why the sigh?
Why isn’t CEO Ruan coming to save him?
Zong Mo thought, and secretly glanced at the door. He only heard the old man on the side speak again, “This is the first time Little Chi has brought an outsider to see me.”
Zong Mo: …
It wasn’t the first time. He had brought a cross-dressing golden canary on the first day of the New Year.
If he had known, he would have worn women’s clothing this time too. Pretending to be a daughter-in-law is better than an unclean male celebrity.

Zong Mo glanced at the door from time to time and finally caught a hint of a strange, noisy sound.
It seemed that several people were talking, the voices gradually getting closer. The different voices that were mixed together also separated, the volume far exceeding the decibels allowed in a hospital, and clearly entered the well-soundproofed room.
“Ruan Chi, is this how you talk to your uncle?!” a thick male voice shouted, unable to suppress his anger. “Get out of my way! Dad! Look at Ruan Chi!”
“You, fucking, get lost.”
Zong Mo was stunned. After half a day, he confirmed that this curse was Ruan Chi’s voice.
“If it weren’t for you, this good-for-nothing, grandpa wouldn’t have been unconscious for so long,” Ruan Chi’s voice was extremely cold. “So you’re here now to anger grandpa to death so you can inherit his property?”
Zong Mo: …
Even if the old man doted on his little grandson, he would still be angry if he heard him talk about his own death and insult his own son, right?
Zong Mo carefully looked at the old man and found that his expression was calm, just that his graying brows were slightly furrowed.
Such a legendary figure should indeed not show his emotions.

“Didn’t the doctor say Dad should have woken up long ago? Why is he still unconscious? I think I have a lot of things to ask you, Ruan Chi.”
The man was not a pushover either. After finishing his tirade, he called out “Dad” several more times and cursed Ruan Chi for being a bastard.
Zong Mo: ?
So this is what a real rich family is like?
He didn’t know what was happening outside the door. He only heard a click. The door opened, and several people flooded in.
The leaders were a man and a woman in their sixties, holding a small boy who was just over their knees in height and had exquisite features.
Zong Mo had thought that the man had been shouting “Dad” outside because he was sure the old man had woken up. He hadn’t expected that when he came in and saw the person sitting on the bed, his shock was no less than his own, and his words became stuttering.
“Dad… you, you’re really awake?”
Perhaps regretting what he had said outside the door, the man instantly shed his fierce aura, his face full of smiles. He patted the little boy’s head, “Quick, call great-grandpa.”
The boy was young but not shy. He trotted over and called out sweetly, “Great-grandpa~”
Zong Mo lowered his head, trying his best to reduce his presence. He happened to see the old man raise his hand and pat the child’s head affectionately a couple of times.
What’s going on?
He seemed to have seen this kind of plot in a TV drama. The child, also the future heir, was the best at pleasing the head of the family and was one of the ultimate moves in the fight for the family property.
Ruan Chi’s uncle had brought his own grandson, Old Master Ruan’s great-grandson.
And his CEO Ruan had brought a golden canary, male.
Zong Mo: …
Fuck, why didn’t he come in women’s clothing?

After using the child to soothe the old man’s mood, the man came closer and chattered, “Dad, look at Ruan Chi. He not only stopped me from coming in to see you outside, but do you know, he’s even gone to be a celebrity now, filming some unclean things…”
Ruan Chi was expressionless, but his tone was extremely cold, “Do you want me to show my aunt and Tong Tong what’s really unclean, hmm?”
Old Master Ruan said angrily, “All of you, shut up!”
Although the old man’s pressure was not directed at him, Zong Mo was also startled. Coupled with the man’s words just now, he didn’t know if he had watched Conquering the Entertainment Industry and would recognize him. He could only lower his head even more.
Fortunately, the man’s full attention was on his father and he didn’t pay much attention to him. He called out eagerly, “Dad! I…”
Old Master Ruan interrupted him in a gentle but unquestionable voice, “Ruan Ming, you and Tong Tong, go out.”
Zong Mo secretly glanced at him and gestured with his pleading eyes: What about me? Can I go out?
Old Master Ruan’s gaze was still on the door. He added, “Ruan Chi, you too.”
Zong Mo: ?
He quickly looked at Ruan Chi. Ruan Chi was also looking at him. Not only did he not obey the old man’s order, but he also walked towards him, probably preparing to take him away.
Zong Mo quickly stood up. He didn’t care if Ruan Chi’s uncle would discover that there was an unclean little celebrity here. He just wanted to leave with his CEO Ruan.
“Ruan Chi, you go out.”
Old Master Ruan called out Ruan Chi’s name a second time, his voice deeper.
Ruan Chi’s footsteps paused.
Old Master Ruan spoke again, finally remembering the only person in the hospital room who hadn’t been called yet.
“Zong Mo, you go and lock the door.”
Zong Mo: …?
