Chapter 2565: Her Decision  

After Grandma made the tea, she suddenly thought of something and asked Ning Yuan, “I think that young man looks a little like the Second Prince I saw on TV. Are they related?”

Ning Yuan did not intend to hide it from her grandmother. “He’s the Second Prince, Ye Yu.”

The teacup in Grandma’s hand almost fell to the ground.

Ning Yuan took it and put it in her hand.

Seeing the change in her grandmother’s expression, Ning Yuan said softly, “Grandma, just treat him as an ordinary junior. Actually, he looks cold and unapproachable on TV, but he treats me well in private.”

Looking at Ning Yuan, who had a feminine expression when mentioning Ye Yu, Grandma frowned slightly.

“Go out and entertain the guests first. Don’t neglect them.”

Grandma welcomed Ye Yu warmly. When she learned that Ning Yuan and him had not eaten lunch, she went to the kitchen to cook.

Ning Yuan had grown up with her grandmother and could naturally sense her emotions.

Although Grandma was smiling, she was probably not very happy.

She treated Ye Yu like a grand guest.

Ning Yuan concluded that Grandma did not agree with her being with Ye Yu.

After dinner, Grandma asked Ning Yuan to clean up the dishes while she and Ye Yu went to the main room.

When Ning Yuan came out after washing the dishes, Ye Yu was already gone. The things he had brought with him in the main room were also gone.

“Grandma, did you ask him to take back the gift he gave you?”

Grandma glanced at Ning Yuan, walked to the door and closed it.

“Yuanyuan, you’re an adult. I won’t stop you from doing anything, but your boyfriend’s family background is too prominent.”

Grandma pulled Ning Yuan to sit beside her, her eyes red. “Didn’t Grandma say that you don’t deserve to be with a rich family? But does he know about our family’s situation? What if one day, he betrays you and hurts you? What if you get provoked?”

Grandma held Ning Yuan’s hand, her eyes filled with heartache. “Grandma hopes that you can find someone on par with you. Even if your family background is a little ordinary, I just need to dote on you!”

“Why must it be the Second Prince?”

Ning Yuan could understand her grandmother’s concerns.

She pressed her forehead against her grandmother’s palm and said softly, “After I found out about my situation, I broke up with him once. I also advised myself not to fall in love and be addicted, but I couldn’t control my heart.”

Grandma cupped Ning Yuan’s face and made her look up. “Yuanyuan, Grandma already knows that your father’s tombstone was splashed with red paint yesterday. Do you think it has nothing to do with him?”

Ning Yuan opened her mouth, wanting to say that it was alright, but the words could not come out.

It definitely had nothing to do with him, but because she had gotten back together with him, some people might be jealous.

Grandma wiped the tears from the corner of Ning Yuan’s eyes. “As long as you’re with him, I’m afraid such things will happen in the future.”

“Listen to Grandma and cut it off with him. It’s better to get it over with!”

“Grandma…”

Grandma reached out her hand to Ning Yuan. “Give me your phone.”

Ning Yuan could not bear to see her grandmother suffer and handed her phone to her obediently.

Grandma turned off Ning Yuan’s phone.

“Think about it carefully tonight. If you still want to be with him, Grandma won’t force you. After all, you’re an adult.”

….

On the way back to the hotel, the atmosphere in the car dropped to a freezing point.

The driver looked carefully at the man in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

This was probably the first time the Second Prince had been despised by others.

Although the Old Madam did not say anything mean, her attitude was clear by returning all the gifts.

Ye Yu took out a cigarette from the cigarette box and bit it between his lips. When he lowered his head to light the cigarette, his face looked deep and fierce under the green flame.

“Your Highness, I actually think that the old lady is worried that Miss Ning will be hurt if she’s with you. It’s not that you have any bad intentions!”

Ye Yu narrowed his deep eyes and exhaled a mouthful of smoke slowly. How could he not understand Ning Yuan’s grandmother’s thoughts? From her point of view, it was understandable!

Back at the hotel, Ye Yu stood in front of the French windows and called Ning Yuan.

Her phone was turned off.

….

The next morning, Grandma went out to buy groceries with a basket.

She knew that Ning Yuan did not sleep well last night and only fell asleep at four in the morning.

Grandma went out quietly. As soon as she walked out of the yard, she saw a tall figure standing outside.

Ye Yu was wearing a white shirt and was not as neat as usual. His sleeves were rolled up, revealing his firm and muscular forearms.

Seeing Grandma coming out, he went forward to her.

Grandma looked at Ye Yu, who was young but exuded a stable and reserved aura. She nodded at him and walked forward without saying anything.

It took more than ten minutes to walk to the market. Ye Yu put on a mask and followed behind his grandmother.

The market in town could not be compared to the big city. It was rather dirty and messy. Grandma circled around and Ye Yu followed behind her.

Seeing that she had bought too many vegetables, he took the initiative to help him carry the basket. He did not find it dirty and dirty, nor did he urge her. He looked different from the descendants of noble families.

After buying the groceries, the two of them returned to the courtyard one after another.

Grandma did not invite Ye Yu into the house and Ye Yu handed the basket to Grandma.

When Ning Yuan woke up, Grandma had already made breakfast.

The weather had been unpredictable recently. It was still sunny just now, but it was starting to drizzle.

Ning Yuan’s stomach felt a little uncomfortable. She ate a few mouthfuls of porridge and retched when she was eating the poached egg.

Grandma saw that Ning Yuan’s face was slightly pale from vomiting. She put down her chopsticks and looked at Ning Yuan in confusion. “Yuanyuan, are you hiding something from Grandma?”

Ning Yuan looked at her grandmother’s serious gaze and sat up straight. She held her grandmother’s hand and admitted, “I did hide something from you.”

She pulled her grandmother’s hand to her abdomen. “I’m pregnant.”

Hearing Ning Yuan’s words, Grandma looked at Ning Yuan for a while.

“Grandma, I thought about it for a long time last night. I don’t want to abort the child. I want to give birth to him and let him raise me. Even if we don’t get together in the future, I won’t regret this decision!”

Grandma’s eyes turned red and her old face was tense. She poked Ning Yuan’s forehead with trembling fingers. “You silly child! Does he know that you’re pregnant?”

Ning Yuan nodded.

“Call him in.”

Ning Yuan was stunned.

“He came so early in the morning. If I’m not wrong, he should still be outside.”

Ning Yuan looked at the rainwater dripping on the bluestone floor outside. When she regained her senses, she stood up and rushed out.

“Give me an umbrella.”

Ning Yuan went back into the house, took an umbrella, and strode out.

Looking at her hurried figure, Grandma sighed helplessly.
