Originally, she didn't want to return to her grandmother's house, but she didn't want to see Ye Xuan again, staying in that place would definitely make it easy for him to find her!

She had nowhere else to go, and even if she did, it wouldn't allow her to calm down. Only in this remote and quiet village, far from the hustle and bustle of the city, could she find peace for her troubled heart.

After much thought, Lu Miaochan decided to return here, to this place where she grew up, to cleanse her soul!

Her mood was already bad enough, and if she didn't relax and get some peace soon, she feared she might go crazy under such torment.

Under the eaves of a small villa in the back, stood a pair of elderly people dressed simply, exchanging glances, looking at Lu Miaochan not far away.

"Old man, have you noticed that Miaochan has been acting strange since she came back?"

One of them, an old woman with a headscarf, said softly to the old man beside her.

No guessing was needed to know the identities of these two elderly folks; they were Lu Miaochan's grandfather and grandmother! Wu Dongqing and Zhou Cuilan.

"Old woman, aren't you stating the obvious? This girl hasn't acted normal since she came back. She barely speaks and always seems gloomy."

Wu Dongqing said irritably, throwing a disdainful look at his spouse.

"Sigh, what's wrong with Miaochan? Nothing seems to have happened, and when we ask her, she doesn't answer. She wasn't like this the last time she came back!"

Zhou Cuilan shook her head, unsure if she was talking to her spouse or just muttering to herself.

"You ask me, who should I ask?" Wu Dongqing rolled his eyes and said.

"Old man, why don't we go ask her about it? The child is certainly troubled, let's try to guide our granddaughter. Seeing her so uninterested in eating makes me uncomfortable... Sigh! Old age makes you unable to see your granddaughter suffer."

Zhou Cuilan thought for a moment and suggested.

Lu Miaochan had been their precious gem since childhood, and seeing her like this naturally made them unhappy.

"Alright! Let's go over together, it'll be easier to talk this way."

Wu Dongqing nodded, not refusing, and together they walked toward Lu Miaochan.

"Miaochan, are you okay? Did something make you unhappy? Why not talk to your grandparents?"

When they reached Lu Miaochan's side, the two elderly folks exchanged a glance, then Zhou Cuilan patted Lu Miaochan's shoulder gently and asked affectionately.

"Grandma, I'm fine. Just let me sit alone for a while."

Seeing her grandparents, Lu Miaochan forced a smile, shook her head, and said.

Although she had things on her mind, she couldn't tell her grandparents. Firstly, she didn't want them to worry about her, and secondly, she didn't want to share her unhappiness with others.

Especially with her beloved grandparents, discussing such matters would certainly affect their mood and possibly impact their health.

This consequence was something Lu Miaochan was very reluctant to see, so she'd rather not say anything and bear the pain alone.

"Miaochan, seeing you like this, disinterested in eating, makes grandpa and grandma uncomfortable too! Just speak out if something is wrong, don't bottle it up. Maybe grandpa and grandma can give you some advice!" Zhou Cuilan urged.

"Grandma, please don't ask. I'm really fine, just dealing with a little trouble, it'll be over in a couple of days."

Lu Miaochan deliberately spoke in a relaxed tone, insincerely.

"Child, what troubles could you possibly have at a young age? Your grandpa and I have lived to this age and have no troubles, we are happy every day." Zhou Cuilan retorted.

"Exactly! Girl, be honest with grandpa, did you have a fight with your parents?" Wu Dongqing chimed in.

"No, grandpa and grandma, why would I fight with my parents? I have a good relationship with them!"

"Then why are you unhappy or say you're troubled?"

The two elders were a bit puzzled and continued to ask.

"Oh, grandpa and grandma, stop asking! It's my personal matter, you don't need to worry about me."

Lu Miaochan didn't know what to say, so she said that.

"Personal matters? Can't you even tell grandma? When you were little, you told grandma everything, now that you're grown, are we not close anymore?" Zhou Cuilan pretended to be angry.

"No, grandma, how could we not be close? What are you thinking! You are the most beloved person in the world to me."

Lu Miaochan quickly said and then tightly hugged Zhou Cuilan's arm with a coquettish tone.

After a pause, she spoke hesitantly: "Grandma, it's not that I intentionally want to hide it from you, it's just that I don't know how to say it, nor do I want to say it to others! If it were another matter, I would definitely tell you."

"Haha, you girl, talking about personal matters, I bet it's because you have romantic troubles! You think by not saying I can't guess?"

Zhou Cuilan said with a smile to Lu Miaochan.

"Oh! There's no such thing! Grandma, what are you guessing? I have no romantic issues, there's completely no such thing."

Lu Miaochan denied, a bit shy, stomping her little foot.

"You say there's none? Do you think grandma doesn't understand you? Since you were little, everything was written on your face? Just by looking at your expression, I know what you're thinking!"

Zhou Cuilan said with a smile, reaching out to touch Lu Miaochan's little head and gently tapping her nose.

"Miaochan, I know why you don't want to say it out loud; you're afraid grandma will blame you, right? Actually, you're overthinking; do I look like a conservative thinker? This kind of thing is completely normal. After all, you've grown up and are no longer the little girl who followed grandma everywhere. You are already a big girl! Falling in love and finding a boyfriend are things grandma definitely won't oppose. As long as you find the right person, grandma will fully support you," Zhou Cuilan said earnestly.

"Grandma, where are your thoughts going? Your imagination is too rich! Even more than my mom, with a whole story, I almost believed it. At your age, still being a bit improper." Lu Miaochan said helplessly.

"Child, what are you saying? Is grandma's care not proper? It's all serious talk, don't think I'm joking!" Zhou Cuilan said with a serious face.

"Yes, yes, grandma, I'll remember what you said, I'll keep it in mind." Lu Miaochan said with a grin.

Only then did Zhou Cuilan show satisfaction, nodding her head: "Since that's the case, then tell grandma your troubles. If you don't say it, grandma will truly be upset!"

"Alright then, grandma, I'll tell you! Okay?"

Lu Miaochan looked helpless, Zhou Cuilan had brought it to this point; if she didn't say anything, she'd truly seem distant.

So, she had no choice but to agree!
