Chapter 71 - 71: Full of Doting 32



However, Liuli woke up in less than an hour.

Afterward, she couldn’t fall back asleep.

Tang Yanxi and Tang Yunxi arrived early in the morning with breakfast.

After Tang Moxi and Liuli finished their breakfast, they waited for the doctor to conduct the ward rounds to get an update on Grandpa’s condition.

The doctor’s prognosis wasn’t positive. If Grandpa didn’t wake up soon, he might slip into a coma.

Tang Moxi asked if he could go in and visit Grandpa at that moment. After confirming that he could change into sterile clothing, he did so with the assistance of a nurse.

Since only one person was allowed inside at a time and the visit couldn’t exceed five minutes, Liuli stood in front of the glass window and observed as Tang Moxi sat on the chair next to Grandpa’s bed, speaking softly to him.

Grandpa Tang remained unconscious, showing no response.

Five minutes passed by swiftly.

Tang Moxi emerged from the ICU, having removed his sterile clothing.

Tang Yunxi and Tang Yanxi approached, eager to inquire about the situation.

Tang Moxi replied,

“Grandpa is still unconscious. I don’t know if he can hear me when I talk to him.”

“All we can do now is wait.”

“We can take turns visiting him every four hours.”

“Yunxi and Yanxi, it’s your turn next.”

“Talk to Grandpa about the things he loves to hear.”

“We must wake him up today!”

“I’ll be back during lunchtime!” Tang Moxi informed Tang Yunxi and Tang Yanxi.

Attentively, Tang Yunxi and Tang Yanxi nodded in agreement.

Tang Moxi escorted Liuli back home, leaving the task in the hands of his two sisters.

During the journey, Liuli remained silent.

Feeling the weight of Mr. Tang’s seriousness, she didn’t dare to speak, fearing that her words might be inappropriate.

Furthermore, her heart felt heavy, and weariness enveloped her. She didn’t know what to say.

After returning to the Tang residence, Tang Moxi took a shower and retired to bed with Liuli.

This time, Liuli didn’t utter a word. She obediently went to bathe and joined Tang Moxi in bed.

Tang Moxi entered the study to make a call and provide instructions. Upon returning to the bedroom, he found Liuli already fast asleep.

A tear glistened on her cheek.

Resisting the urge to kiss her, Tang Moxi entered the bathroom to shower. Afterward, he embraced Liuli and drifted off to sleep.

His mobile phone rested on the nearby table, ensuring he would be alerted when a call arrived.

Liuli was sound asleep when she suddenly heard Grandpa Tang’s voice calling her… “Liuli!”

His voice held a gentle smile, radiating kindness and benevolence.

Liuli responded, awakening from her slumber.

As she gazed at the ceiling, a daze enveloped her.

After a moment, she turned towards Mr. Tang and noticed the furrowed brow that belied a troubled sleep.

Unable to resist, Liuli reached out to smooth it out.

In the next moment, her mind went blank, and she became vulnerable to Tang Moxi’s actions.

Tang Moxi seemed driven by the need to release the worry and pain that burdened his heart.

He momentarily forgot that Liuli was still just a young girl, despite being his wife.

If Liuli hadn’t gasped in sudden pain,

Perhaps, this time, Tang Moxi would have continued his advances.

He seemed like a person consumed by a frenzy, unaware of his own actions.

“It hurts…”

Tang Moxi helped Liuli pull up her pajamas and fastened the buttons. Then, he lifted the blanket and examined Liuli’s legs. Not only had the bruises on her right knee failed to fade entirely, but there were also new bruises on her calf.

“What happened to your calf? Liuli!” Tang Moxi inquired.

“It hurts…” Liuli choked back her words.

Tang Moxi gently carried her off the bed and settled her on the sofa before retrieving the first aid kit.

“When did this happen?” Tang Moxi asked, preparing to clean Liuli’s wound.

“Last night… when I rushed to Grandpa’s room, I accidentally fell!” Liuli replied anxiously, her gaze fixated on the cotton swab in Mr. Tang’s hand.

“Be careful and avoid running in the future. Take it slow,” Tang Moxi spoke in a low voice. “It might sting a bit. Bear with it.”

With that, he proceeded to clean and disinfect Liuli’s wound.

Liuli winced in pain but dared not cry out.

Once Tang Moxi finished disinfecting the wound and reached for the antiseptic spray, he noticed that tears were streaming down Liuli’s face.

ii

If it hurts too much, feel free to scream.”

“Brother Moxi, it really hurts!” Liuli sobbed.

“I know, because it hurts me too,” Tang Moxi replied.

Liuli couldn’t quite grasp the meaning behind Mr. Tang’s words. She speculated that he might be worried about Grandpa Tang!

To prevent her pants from rubbing against her grazed skin, Tang Moxi carefully bandaged her leg.

He then carried her into the bathroom, instructing her to avoid letting the water touch her legs.

Just then, Liuli’s phone started ringing.

Tang Moxi went to fetch it for her, while she patiently waited inside the bathroom.

The missed call was from her home.

Liuli hastily returned the call.

It was her mother on the other end.

“Mom…”

“Liuli, aren’t you and Jingxing coming back today?” Lin Yu asked through the phone.

“Mom, I might not be able to come back today.”

“Grandpa Tang was hospitalized last night,” Liuli couldn’t help but feel sorrowful once again.

“Huh? What’s the current situation?”

“The doctor said that if he doesn’t wake up, Grandpa might just slip into a deep sleep.”

“Mom, Grandpa was fine yesterday. I had breakfast with him this morning.”

“He was still in high spirits, but he was admitted to the hospital last night,” Liuli couldn’t help but break into tears.

“Liuli, don’t cry just yet. Which hospital is Grandpa Tang in? We’ll go there later to visit.”

“Grandpa Tang is in the ICU ward. It’s not easy to visit him freely. We can only go in once every four hours.”

“And each visit is limited to five minutes,” Liuli explained.

ii

It’s alright. We can go and have a look outside. Don’t worry too much.”

“Your Grandpa Tang will receive blessings from above. He will be alright!”

“Yes!” Liuli nodded.

After her conversation with her mother, Liuli hung up and proceeded to freshen up.

At that moment, Tang Moxi had already changed and entered the bathroom.

Both of them stood in front of the sink, brushing their teeth and washing their faces.

Under normal circumstances, Liuli might have felt awkward, but today, she didn’t. In fact, she felt more secure and protected with Mr. Tang by her side.

After finishing her ablutions, Liuli went to change her clothes.

Tang Moxi assisted her with it.

“Brother Moxi, 1 can do it myself!”

“Just be careful. I might be occupied for a while and won’t be able to look after you. Take good care of yourself.”

“Brother Moxi, 1 understand!” Liuli nodded.

She couldn’t help but feel a little guilty. Not only was she unable to assist Grandpa Tang, but she also caused trouble!

After getting ready, they headed straight to the hospital.

Tang Moxi bought a bento and brought it along.

Upon seeing them, Tang Yunxi and Tang Yanxi stood up.

“Is Grandpa awake?” Tang Moxi glanced towards the ICU ward and asked.

“Not yet!” Tang Yunxi responded.

Tang Yanxi shook her head.

ii

Let’s have our meal first!” Tang Moxi suggested.

The four of them sat down and quietly had their lunch.

At that moment, the Yu family arrived.

Liuli hadn’t expected Grandma to come as well.

“Grandma…” Liuli quickly went up to her.

“How is your Grandpa Tang doing now?” Grandma Yu inquired.

“He’s still unconscious!” Liuli shook her head.

“Grandma!” Tang Moxi walked over and greeted her. Then, he turned to greet Yu Zhiyuan and Lin Yu.

“It will be alright. Don’t worry too much,” Lin Yu comforted Tang Moxi.

“Thank you, Mom!” Tang Moxi nodded.

Everyone walked to the glass window and looked at Grandpa Tang, who remained unresponsive.

Waiting seemed to be the only option.

“Can I go in and see him?” Grandma Yu suddenly turned to Tang Moxi and asked.

“Grandma?” Tang Moxi was a little surprised.

“Five minutes should suffice,” Grandma Yu continued.

“Yanxi, ask the nurse if Grandma can go in to visit Grandpa now. Also, find out if it’s convenient,” Tang Moxi instructed Tang Yanxi, turning around.

Although he didn’t understand why Grandma Yu wanted to visit Grandpa personally, if that was her wish, he couldn’t deny it.

Besides, it was what Grandma Yu desired.

Tang Moxi only learned about the relationship between Grandpa and Grandma Yu later.

“Alright!” Tang Yanxi replied and headed to the nurse’s station to inquire.

The head nurse arrived and informed them that it would take ten minutes.

Grandma Yu would be allowed to visit for five minutes.

When the time came, Liuli would go and assist Grandma Yu because the wheelchair couldn’t be brought into the ward.

And so, the head nurse and another nurse helped Grandma Yu change into sterile clothes.

Due to the elderly man’s slower pace, it took more time to complete the process.

Once Grandma Yu was almost dressed, the head nurse, who had already put on sterile clothes, supported Grandma Yu, who could barely walk, into the ward before leaving the room.

The two elderly individuals were left in the private space.

Liuli couldn’t hear what Grandma Yu was saying to Grandpa Tang inside the ward.

However, she had a hunch that it must be related to their shared past.

Grandpa Tang likely couldn’t let Grandma Yu go.

Perhaps Grandma Yu knew that Grandpa Tang still had unfulfilled wishes, which was why she requested to visit him.

“Why do 1 have this feeling that you’re being unreasonable? It’s because I’m telling the truth!”

“Tang Moxi asked, ‘Girl, don’t you like Grandpa?*”

“I do!”

“Don’t you want to make Grandpa happy? Don’t you want to cook red braised pork for him? Don’t you want to spend New Year’s Eve with him and receive red packets?”

“Yes, I do!”

“Isn’t that settled?”

“We’ll spend New Year’s Eve with Grandpa, Yunxi, and Yanxi today.”

“Then, tomorrow you can go back to celebrate the New Year with your parents and Grandma.”

“Isn’t that good?” Tang Moxi continued.

Liuli nodded.

She felt that Mr. Tang was right!

Later, Liuli realized that she had never said anything against Mr. Tang.

Even if something was clearly wrong, Mr. Tang would find a way to make it seem right in the end!

And even though she had insisted on being right, she would always end up following Mr. Tang’s train of thought and being in the wrong!

All the evidence proved that whenever she disagreed with him,

There was only one outcome…

Mr. Tang was right!

She was just throwing a tantrum.

Liuli and Tang Moxi returned to the Tang family.

The Tang family was already busy hanging lanterns and putting up couplets.

It was a joyous scene of spring.

Liuli’s mood also improved.

It was the new year!

Tang Yanxi and Tang Yunxi did not go out today either. They were either busy putting up couplets or hanging lanterns.

Even Grandpa Tang was sitting in a wheelchair at the door, giving instructions.

Liuli and Tang Moxi were back.

Naturally, they joined the camp of couplets.

Tang Moxi had already taken off his jacket and climbed up the ladder to paste the couplet in the main hall.

Tang Yunxi and Tang Yanxi each held onto the ladder.

In the past, the butler was in charge of these things and got someone to paste them.

Now that the Tang family was back and Tang Moxi was married to Liuli,

Tang Sheng was in a good mood and wanted to do it himself.

However, he could not stick it on himself.

Hence, his grandchildren went into battle together.

Liuli stood beside Grandpa Tang and instructed him.

“Too high, too low, off course!”

At this moment, Tang Moxi finally stopped what he was doing and turned around.

“Are you sure you didn’t miss it?”

“Why is one of them too high and one too low!”

“Grandpa said that your hands are too weak!” Liuli emphasized.

“Yes, yes!” Tang Sheng nodded in agreement.

Tang Moxi had no choice but to move up.

“Is this okay?”

“Very good!” Liuli replied with a smile.

“Just right!” Tang Sheng chimed in.

Tang Moxi smiled and pasted the couplet.

Tang Yanxi and Tang Yunxi, who were holding onto the ladder, couldn’t help but laugh.

Grandpa and Liuli were clearly teasing Big Brother together!

Finally, the couplets at the entrance of the main hall were pasted and the lanterns hung up.

Tang Sheng looked at it carefully, his face full of joy.

There was nothing more blissful than being reunited with family.

After pasting the couplets and hanging the lanterns, they began to prepare for the New Year’s Eve dinner.

This year’s New Year goods were also prepared by the kitchen maid and the butler.

Then, the Tang family cooked their own New Year’s Eve dinner.

Liuli also went into the kitchen to help.

She actually couldn’t help much.

But because she knew how to make red braised pork.

This was the grand finale of this year’s New Year’s Eve dinner!

It was because Grandpa liked her the most!

So she had become very important.

She helped to wash the vegetables.

As for the physical work of cutting fish and chicken pieces, it was left to Tang Moxi.

“Liuli, you know how to cook red braised pork. How impressive!” Tang Yanxi praised.

“Actually, this is the only one I know. I learned it from my Grandma!” Liuli replied in embarrassment.

“It’s better than me being just half skillful.”

“What I can do is basically to make sure the food is cooked!” Tang Yanxi said with a smile.

“Are you sure it’s cooked and not half cooked?” Tang Yunxi interrupted.

“I was half-baked in the past, but that doesn’t mean I can’t improve now!” Tang Yanxi retorted.

“Then 1 should look forward to seeing that!”

“What about you? Don’t tell me that you’re not cooking anything tonight and are just waiting for food!”

“I’ll be in charge of dessert!” Tang Yunxi replied confidently.

“Are you sure?” Tang Yanxi expressed her doubts.

“Don’t look down on me with your dog’s eyes!”

“You’re with dog’s eyes!”

Liuli watched as Tang Yanxi and Tang Yunxi bickered and secretly laughed.

“Sister-in-law, you’re in the wrong.”

“It is fine if you didn’t stop the two sisters-in-law from arguing.”

“You’re actually secretly laughing at the side!” Tang Yunxi turned to look at Liuli and teased.

Liuli quickly stopped smiling and replied in embarrassment.

“I’m not laughing. I just… want to laugh!”

Sigh, it was better not to explain!

“Big Brother, your wife is bullying me and Second Sister!” Tang Yunxi turned around and shouted.

“No, no!” Liuli was anxious. She wanted to explain, but she didn’t know how to. “Yunxi, she was just playing with you. She’s like this!” Tang Yanxi smiled and comforted Liuli.

“Second Sister, don’t take this opportunity to form cliques!” Tang Yunxi protested.

Liuli smiled.. She thought that they were just fooling around with her!
