<h4>Chapter 468 Warm Old Madam Long</h4>


    In front of his grandmother, Long Qian Xing was a bit helpless. He was meeting with a few officials and naturally joined in their meals. However, he couldn''t say no to his grandmother when she was naturally worried for him.


    He just silently wondered how many kilograms would he gain by the time he departed.


    His grandmother liked to add more food to his te.


    Old Madam Long then turned her attention to Nan Hua. "How is it, Hua''er? Do you like the food I prepared?"


    Even though etiquette lesson said that they were not allowed to speak during their time eating, Old Madam Long didn''t seem to care in the slightest bit. Nan Hua swallowed the food in her mouth and nodded.


    "They''re good, Grandmother."


    "In that case, eat more."


    "Yes, Grandmother."


    Seeing his grandmother adding more and more food to his fiancée, Long Qian Xing''s lips twitched. Nan Hua''s body was so small. How would she finish that much food?


    "Grandmother, you should eat too." Long Qian Xing tried to divert her attention.


    "Don''t worry, I''m eating."


    One way or another, Long Qian Xing managed to stop his grandmother from stuffing him and Nan Hua with so much food. He didn''t really understand why his grandmother loved to see them eating a lot.


    Probably, it was the indication that they were healthy.


    "Ah Xing, are you going to go again?" Old Madam Long asked when she saw Long Qian Xing stood up.


    "Mhm, I''m going to meet with Song Chuan." Long Qian Xing nodded.


    Old Madam Long remembered the youth Long Qian Xing brought back then. She knew that her grandson was slowly but surely increasing his influence into the politics too. "Don''t take too long and be careful."


    "Yes, Grandmother." Long Qian Xing then looked at Nan Hua and nodded. "Please enjoy your stay here, Hua''er."


    "Yes, Brother Long."


    Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing and felt that only some of the trace of his previously modern habit still retained. Most men here would greet other people politely while cupping their fist, but modern people would shake hands too. Thanks to that, Long Qian Xing often only nodded his head.


    It was only after some time did he change his habit to greet more people with cupping his fist.


    "Let''s go to the garden, Hua''er. I nted new flowers and the view is amazing." Old Madam Long waved her hand and the servants helped her to stand up.


    Looking at how Old Madam Long no longer able to walk properly, Nan Hua furrowed her eyebrows. She really wanted to stop her from going out. Even though it was spring, the temperature was still very low.


    The nts would have just started to grow.


    "Grandmother, have the flowers bloom?" Nan Hua asked tactfully.


    Old Madam Long was stunned thenughed. "There are some flowers that bloom in early spring. Let me show you."


    Nan Hua sighed internally and followed Old Madam Long. She was paying close attention to Old Madam Long''s condition because it wouldn''t be good if anything happen to her. Thankfully, the servants had prepared a heater and thick nkets for the two of them as they sat on the courtyard.


    There was barely any trace of snow in Long Family Residence. Some flowers were budding and blooming beautifully as they weed the new spring thate. It was a breathtaking view.


    "Isn''t it beautiful?"


    "It''s beautiful." Nan Hua was honest.


    Old Madam Long smiled proudly. She looked at the flowers and then said in a low voice, "I really hope that you can be like this flowers, blooming beautifully and open your petals to those close to you."


    Nan Hua''s eyes flickered. She looked at Old Madam Long, her expression was unreadable.


    Without turning her head, Old Madam Long continued, "Don''t worry, I won''t force you. I''ll wait for however long you need for you to bloom."


    There was a silence between the two of them.


    It was out of Nan Hua''s expectation for Old Madam Long to say something like this. She had thought that Old Madam Long only somehow took a liking to her because she was his grandson''s fiancée.


    But why did it sound as if she was treating herself as Nan Hua''s family member?


    "Why?"


    There was only one question.


    Old Madam Long looked at Nan Hua then raised her wrinkled hand to stroke her face tenderly. "Do I need a reason to love my granddaughter inw?"


    Nan Hua was silent.


    It was the same as asking a parent why they loved their children. Their answer would be simply because they were their children. There was no other reason.


    Even if their children were disheartening, some people just couldn''t give up on their children because they cared too much. It was like how his grandfather couldn''t abandon his own son even though he was so disappointed in his son.


    Even until now.


    Because of that, no matter how much Nan Luo tried to go against Nan Shu Cheng, Old Master Nan never allowed him cross the line.


    "I''m not your granddaughter inw yet, Grandmother."


    "Since you''ve called me Grandmother, naturally you''re already my granddaughter inw in my heart." Old Madam Long chuckled. She caressed Nan Hua''s head lightly, not feeling any resistance whatsoever from her.


    Most people would not allow other people to go near their head unless it was their family members. But Nan Hua didn''t even flinch or even have any other reaction. Sometimes, seeing Nan Hua like this caused heartache in Old Madam Long''s heart.


    She knew that she was not in Nan Hua''s heart.


    But for Nan Hua to be able to stop even her reactive reaction meant that she was used to act and hide her real feelings.


    Even to the point of controlling her instinctive reaction.


    "I do hope that you can lean on me." Old Madam Long chuckled. She looked at Nan Hua warmly. "But there''s no rush. If you ever need me,e here. The door will always be open for you."
