Chapter 1299: Grandma

Qianqian came bouncing over, and Nan Jiaojiao tossed the keys to the nearest servant, “Could you help me grab the gifts from the trunk?”

“Young Madam, you’re too polite, it’s nothing, it’s nothing!”

Nan Jiaojiao was taken aback by the “Young Madam” title, then Qianqian suddenly bumped into her leg, bringing her back to reality.

She picked up the little girl, pinched her rosy cheeks, “Say a few words for pretty sister to hear, let’s see if you can pause between sentences.”

Qianqian hugged her with her small hands, and with a pouty face said, “Can’t do that, Great Grandmother said we’re not allowed to call you sister, we have to call you Third Auntie.”

Nan Jiaojiao’s eyes lit up, as Qianqian could now say a few more words in one go, and the pauses for breaths were a bit longer.

Aunt Chen had tears in her eyes, feeling both respectful and grateful towards Nan Jiaojiao, “The little lady has been taking her medicine well, she can occasionally finish a long sentence now, and her skin hasn’t wrinkled for a long time; she’s much happier than before, and she’s not even afraid when strangers come over anymore.”

“Really, our Qianqian is so amazing, huh?”

Qianqian scrunched her little nose, proudly raising her chin, “Qianqian is awesome, Qianqian is the most awesome!”

“Yes, yes, the most awesome indeed.”

Nan Jiaojiao gave her a big blessing and whispered: “Ice cream-flavored, it’s really delicious, I have just this one, don’t tell your brother, okay?”

Qianqian, mimicking her sneaky demeanor, hooked her neck and whispered, “Don’t worry, my brother went to school, he’s not home.”

“Doesn’t Qianqian have to go to school?”

Qianqian froze for a moment, realizing she had just given herself away.

Her little face flushed red as she snuggled softly against Nan Jiaojiao’s chest.

“No playfulness now, I know your Third Uncle found you a kindergarten, and on a school day, you’re actually at home.

What’s going on?”

Qianqian murmured twice, just refusing to speak.

Aunt Chen laughed, “She sneaked some of Young Master’s ice cream the night before, ended up with diarrhea, was on an IV drip yesterday, and is feeling a bit better today.”

Nan Jiaojiao hurriedly took Qianqian’s pulse.

Then she exhaled a sigh of relief, tapping a finger on Qianqian’s forehead, “You, oh.”

“Hehe…”

“I’ve written a new prescription, the medicine is ready, just twice a week bath, and I’ve reduced the dosage, she doesn’t have to take it daily.”

Nan Jiaojiao handed the prescription to Aunt Chen, “Where’s grandma?”

She said grandma, not old lady.

Aunt Chen had a knowing look, “She’s upstairs, she knew you were back yesterday and has been waiting.”

Nan Jiaojiao felt her courage deflate instantly.

Especially when she saw the Old Lady sitting in the corridor teasing Xiao Ba, her heart was filled with anxiety.

She crept over, still pondering what she should say first when Xiao Ba suddenly flapped its wings and crashed into the cage.

“Ugly, ugly!”

Nan Jiaojiao’s hand at her back couldn’t help but raise a middle finger.

That darn bird!

“Oh, coming over?” The Old Lady glanced at her indifferently.

Nan Jiaojiao plastered on a smile, walked over, and was just about to flatter when the Old Lady suddenly snorted: “Still know to come, huh!”

Nan Jiaojiao…

What to do, the elder is upset.

She almost slid over on her knees without pride but hesitated, fearing to scrape her face, then rolled up her pants and squatted in front of the Old Lady.

She massaged her legs.

“I came, grandma, I missed you so much, I should’ve come yesterday, but it was too late and I didn’t want to disturb your rest.

When I woke up today, I came right away, you’re all I could think about!”
