Mu Anhan couldn’t help but be stunned. In her previous life, she had lived in a haze and didn’t know that her grandfather had a serious illness.
Nor did she know that Gu Xiaozhan, behind her back, had invited the most renowned doctor from abroad to perform surgery on her grandfather.
"I’m sorry, Grandma..."
In her past life, she had acted recklessly and didn’t take good care of the family around her.
"Han Han, I’m telling you these things not to make you feel guilty, but to hope for your happiness." Grandmother gently comforted her, "Your grandfather and I are old. If the person beside you cherishes, spoils, and loves you, we can be at ease."
"He’s very good to me." Mu Anhan nodded.
Grandmother nodded too, "At the time, we didn’t know it was him who had hired the doctor. It was your uncle who investigated for a long time before finding out. We didn’t like him because he forced you into marriage back then, and we thought he was too domineering."
"Now that I think about it, he did it for the child." Grandmother had come to terms with it, "Look at the precious children, so smart and lovely, how wonderful!"
"Grandma, I was too headstrong back then as well," Mu Anhan reflected, "I made Grandfather and Grandmother, and the uncles unhappy."
"Grandma will make your favorite sweet and sour ribs, alright?" Grandmother smiled.
"Okay!" Mu Anhan nodded enthusiastically.
When lunch was served, the family sat down to eat.
Miao Yuanhang looked at Gu Xiaozhan, "Xiaozhan, I have never thanked you in person. Thank you for the surgery back then!"
Mu Anhan was also looking at him, her eyes still moist.
"Grandfather, it was something within my power; how could I stand by and do nothing?" Gu Xiaozhan gently patted Mu Anhan’s hand, "Seeing Grandfather healthy now, I am also very happy."
In the end, he cared so much for Grandfather and Grandmother because he liked Mu Anhan.
Regardless of how others viewed their relationship, he felt no need to prove himself to anyone.
However, he would treat those close to her well, as if she were the one caring for them.
"Han Han was also sick at the time, so I didn’t tell her about this," Gu Xiaozhan took the responsibility upon himself, "I overlooked her feelings for her grandparents; I will be more mindful in the future."
"Husband..." Mu Anhan couldn’t help but call out to him.
He knew well that it was her neglect that caused the oversight; how could he take all the blame?
"Alright, it’s the new year. No crying allowed!" Gu Xiaozhan affectionately stroked her head, giving her a comforting pat.
"Okay!" Mu Anhan nodded.
He picked up a piece of sweet and sour rib and placed it in her bowl, "On our way here this morning, you kept insisting you wanted to eat Grandma’s sweet and sour ribs. Now that Grandma has made it, eat more."
Mu Anhan broke into a smile through her tears.
Grandmother picked up more sweet and sour ribs for Gu Yao and Gu Yu, "You two, try Grandma’s cooking."
"It’s really delicious!" Gu Yao immediately said, "We have to come often to eat."
Gu Yu nodded too, "Grandma, you’re such a good cook. We’ve never even tasted Mom’s skills!"
"I’ll do my best when the time comes!" Mu Anhan laughed, "You both have to eat it all up."
"Let’s not!" Gu Yu quickly shook his head, "Mom is a career woman; you’re too busy. You should focus on your career!"
The adults at the table all laughed.
In the afternoon, the two elders went to take a nap.
The two children also played with mud in the yard, and Mu Anhan wrapped her arms around Gu Xiaozhan’s back, "Husband..."
