My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 412 - 015: Household Matters
In the next few days, the weather in Nancheng was particularly good, sunny, but the temperature remained especially low. At night, the cold wind blew with a bone-chilling coldness. Ye Lingran was constantly rushing the wedding dress deadline, so busy that she couldn’t pull herself away, even working overtime until nine or ten every day before returning home.
Yun Qi was the same, he had been very busy with the VI order in recent days, and those shoes for Ye Lingran remained in Yun Qi’s shoe cabinet, one didn’t have time to deliver, the other didn’t have time to pick up, so they just stayed in a stalemate.
Until Lu Shishu’s birthday, they only met then, but this meeting made Ye Lingran feel like they had grown even more distant, but she couldn’t quite pin down why. Clearly, he was still so warm and gentle and always spoke with a slight smile, yet there was a sense of unfamiliarity that had never been there before.
That feeling lingered in her heart, making her uncomfortable, until he saw her home, she didn’t remember to ask about those shoes.
On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, since the studio took holiday on the twenty-third, she was the only one there. After finishing the remaining work, Ye Lingran stretched lazily, tidied up the desk, put on her coat, grabbed her bag and phone, and left. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
As soon as she locked the studio door, the phone in her bag suddenly rang. It was Ye’s mother, Ru Junlan, calling. Ye Lingran slid toward the answer button, put it to her ear and answered softly, "Hello! Mom."
"Ranran, where are you now?" The feminine voice on the other end carried a unique soft tone, but mixed with a few hints of decisiveness.
"At the studio! I’m planning to visit grandma at the nursing home."
"Then come home for dinner tonight! Your dad and I will be waiting for you."
"You and Dad are back from Australia?"
"Yes, we just got home and called you right away."
"Okay, I got it."
After hanging up, Ye Lingran drove to the best nursing home in the city center. She also stopped by a nearby fruit store to buy some water that elderly people usually like, then went to the flower shop to bring a bundle of narcissus before entering the nursing home.
The nursing staff in this nursing home mostly knew Ye Lingran. Upon seeing her, they all greeted her with smiles, "Miss Ye, are you here to see Grandma Ye?"
"Yes!" Ye Lingran carried items in one hand and clutched the bundle of narcissus with the other, smiling gently at them, "How is her condition recently? Is it still stable?"
"Very good, Grandma Ye has been talking about you these days! She even made a fuss about wanting to find you during lunch today. I told her, if you don’t come soon, I’d be calling you in a couple of days." The nurse speaking was primarily responsible for the elderly on Grandma Ye’s floor.
Since this nursing home was found by Yun Qi, Grandma Ye’s room there was the best the whole place had to offer, including the environment and equipment inside. The nurse and medical staff were carefully selected. Originally, Yun Qi paid for three months’ expenses, but Ye Lingran knew that although this nursing home helped with the elderly’s illness, and the service was great, the cost was much higher than other nursing homes. Moreover, the nursing home wasn’t very large, with limited beds, so initially, Ye Lingran had inquired about it, but hadn’t sent her grandmother in for treatment.
Later, with Yun Qi’s connections, she managed to get in, so having Yun Qi pay the fees wasn’t acceptable to her, and she felt awkward letting him cover the cost. Being able to help with getting her grandmother into the nursing home was already very grateful, but when Ye Lingran got the bill from the nursing home, she wanted to transfer the money to Yun Qi, but Yun Qi wouldn’t accept it, not even in cash, leaving Ye Lingran quite helpless.
"I really apologize for having everyone worry, the studio has been racing against deadlines lately, working overtime every day, so I didn’t come to visit her." Ye Lingran smiled apologetically, her desire to see Grandma Ye growing stronger, she stopped staying, and set off walking again, "I’ll go in to see her."
"Alright, by now, Grandma Ye should have woken up from her nap."
Ye Lingran nodded her head, quickened her pace to the door of the room with the best view, gently knocked, twisted the door handle and pushed to enter. Grandma Ye sitting on the bed looked over when hearing the sound, while the caregiver pouring water also glanced over. Seeing Ye Lingran, she hurriedly put down the kettle, walked over with a smile, took the items from her hand, and joyfully said, "Miss Ye, you’ve come, Grandma Ye just woke up from her nap!"
