The problem was that there were only two rooms in the house: Nicholas's room and Gai's room. Which room on earth did James want to sleep in?
"James, come to this room and we'll spend the night. I've changed my bedclothes today, the bed is very big. You can make do with it for one night." Nicholas called out James who was sitting in Gai's room.
Gail blushed and pushed James out, "my grandfather's bed is big. Two people in bed is absolutely fine. If you think the bed is too hard, you still have a lot of disposable sheet and quilt, don't you? Just go and get them. "
James thought to himself that if he had known that, he would have gone back to the hotel with the driver and the assistant. The bed looked really hard.
But on second thought, Gai had been sleeping for so many years, she didn't say anything to him, he only slept for so many times, there was nothing he couldn't get used to.
Gai was sleeping in her room. She checked the phone, but it didn't receive any signal. Gail was not sure if James would get used to living in the same room with Nicholas.
But there was no need to worry. After a long time, they talked happily. It seemed that Nicholas was investigating James' family background.
After a good sleep, Gail was woken up by the early bird chirping and the singing of chickens. She opened the door curtain. It was a sunny day in mid spring. The air in the countryside was fresh. There were some white clouds floating in the blue sky. The clear birds chirped from time to time.
"Good morning, Gai! Did you sleep well last night? " As soon as James walked out of Nicholas's room, he saw the gentle smile on her face and strode towards her.
Gail, who was stretching herself, immediately reached out her hand and smiled at him. "I'm fine. How about you? I guess you didn't sleep well. My grandfather talked to you. What were you talking about? "
James pulled her out of the gate and whispered in her ear, "you want to know? If you behave well, I will tell you. "
Gail pushed him away. "Fine. But you better not say something you shouldn't. Otherwise, I won't let you off."
"How come? I have said everything that I can say...... I didn't say anything I shouldn't have. "
"How dare you fool me? I'll ask grandpa to kick you out."
James held her hands and asked, "will you do that?"
At this moment, Nicholas came out of the yard. When he saw them, Gail let go of James' hand, she couldn't help but turn around and snicker.
Nicholas hoped Gail would be spoiled by James for the rest of her life. But according to the conversation between them last night, Nicholas thought James was a reliable man and deserved his trust.
During lunch time, Nicholas handed a jade bracelet to Gail.
"Gai, this is a gift from your mother. It was passed down from your ancestors. Your last name wasn't Cheng, but now you were brought up by me, and your father's family didn't want to raise you, so your last name followed your mother's. Your father's relatives are all unreliable, and your uncle, my nephew, please don't let him know this is left to you by your mother, or he's sure to come after you. " Nicholas pushed a red wooden box over. On the red gauze lied a jade bracelet in clear green.
"Gai, by the way, when you marry into this family, you must behave like a daughter-in-law. Don't feel at ease as if you are their daughter. I don't want you to be like your mother."
Gail's tears fell again. James hurriedly used tissue to wipe her tears away.
"Grandpa, stop it. Why did James brainwash you overnight? I haven't graduated yet and haven't promised to marry him. Grandpa, are you trying to drive me away because you don't want me anymore? " Big teardrops fell down from her eyes. Gail had never thought that Nicholas would say such a topic in such a hurry.
She was just joking last night, but now she was suddenly in a bad mood under such a serious situation.
"Grandpa, why are you so anxious to consider my marriage? Are you hiding something from me? I thought you were too calm yesterday. Why are you thinking about my marriage in such a hurry today! Grandpa, is your leg painful? We can go to the hospital! Don't scare me! " Gail lied on the table and cried. Nicholas was supposed to be serious about the wedding in the future, but now she cried like this.
James gently patted her back and asked, "Why are you crying? Don't you know that grandpa has been thinking about it for a long time? He just hasn't said anything about it. Don't worry. I'll take care of Grandpa. He promised me that he would go to the hospital to have a check-up. We'll leave in the afternoon. Don't worry, okay? " James stroked her hair, completely ignoring Nicholas's gaze.
"Exactly. Why are you crying? We were supposed to talk about your marriage. But now you are crying, which makes me panic. You see, Andre is laughing at you. If you keep crying, others will laugh at you. " Seeing her crying, Nicholas was also helpless and pushed Andre to her side.
Somehow, Gail couldn't stop crying.
In the afternoon, James parked his car in front of the door. He had decided to take Nicholas to the hospital.
