Bai Xiao hung up the phone and pinched his eyebrows tiredly.

He had actually considered getting a lawyer to draft the agreement that Hu Ke had written, but some time ago, he had gone to the hospital to see his grandfather…

“Grandpa, I’m here to see you. How have you been recently?” Bai Xiao put down the snacks in his hand. He had specially gone to Nancheng to buy them. They were the old man’s favorite.

When Bai Zheng saw that his grandson had arrived, he could not help but smile until his eyes curved.

He gestured for Bai Xiao to sit on the chair beside him. “When is your wedding with that girl scheduled?”

Bai Xiao paused for a moment. Then, he pretended that nothing had happened and poured a glass of water for the old man so that he could drink it while eating snacks.

“It hasn’t been decided yet.” Bai Xiao answered this question in a low voice. He and Hu Ke had been forced to marry. It was a humiliation to him and his family.

Bai Xiao had gotten the marriage certificate to ensure that the old man was at ease, but he still wanted to give up the idea of marriage.

He believed that his once-in-a-lifetime marriage should only be given to the person he loved, or someone who was beneficial to his family. At least, not Hu Ke.

How could Bai Zheng not understand his thoughts? The situation at that time was too chaotic, and he was too excited. When he calmed down and thought about it again, he realized that Bai Xiao’s marriage could be said to be a complete tragedy.

Bai Zheng sighed and chose to skip the topic.

“Then bring that girl over in a few days for me to take a look too. It was too messy last time. I didn’t even see her clearly.”

Bai Xiao agreed and said a few more words to the old man. Then, the old man started talking about his youth.

“At that time, our marriage was decided by our parents. The matchmaker said that before your grandmother and I got married, we barely knew each other. After we got married, I had complaints and didn’t treat your grandmother well. I always felt that she had designs on me. Now that I think about it, I was really a bastard at that time. A woman couldn’t resist her family and followed me. In the end, I still treated her like that. If word got out, it would be disappointing…”

Bai Xiao’s consciousness gradually became distracted by Bai Zheng’s words. He could not help but relate to his grandmother and grandfather’s story and think about him and Hu Ke.

In order to let his grandfather stay by his side for a longer period of time, he married Hu Ke. Now that he thought about it, he was also bound by invisible shackles.

However, his grandmother was different from Hu Ke. His grandmother was forced by her family, but Hu Ke chose this path herself.

“Be good to her. Even if the two of you can’t go on for a long time in the future, it can still be a good relationship.” Bai Zheng did not notice that Bai Xiao was distracted and was still persuading him.

Bai Xiao came back to his senses and gave a faint “hmm” before helping the old man adjust the bed to a comfortable height.

“Grandpa, rest early. I still have something to do at the company. I’ll take her to see you in a few days.”

Bai Xiao sat back in the car. After some hesitation, he returned to the company and asked his assistant to contact the law firm he was working with to draft a new contract.

Let’s just treat it as… forming a good relationship!

Bai Xiao shook his head, trying to throw these things to the back of his mind.

For the past two days, not only had he been busy with the company, but he had also been worried about Hu Ke’s nutrition. The quality of his sleep was getting worse and worse. He had been suffering from insomnia for a few days. Thinking about the wedding made his head hurt even more.

Bai Xiao pinched the space between his eyebrows and opened the communication software on his phone. He sent a message: [Hello, I want to make an appointment for psychological treatment in three days.]

In order to go to the psychotherapist’s side earlier, Bai Xiao had already settled his official business. When he finally sat down on the recliner, Bai Xiao’s head was already numb from the pain.

‘If only I could dig out my brain and rest alone,’ Bai Xiao thought numbly.

The therapist was already used to his situation. He lit up the sleeping incense and began to hypnotize him. Soon, there was only the sound of relaxed breathing and soft music in the room.

When Bai Xiao woke up, it was already six in the afternoon.

Bai Xiao did a rough calculation. He had slept for more than five hours. Although he did not sleep well and kept having strange dreams, he was already satisfied.
