Shan Xingyou had been following her all this time and now suggested, "Xiaxia, since there's no program task today, how about we go out? There's an indoor ski resort nearby, we could check it out? It's so hot outside, it'd be nice to cool off."

Yu Qianxia paused. She rarely came home and didn't feel like going out. Just as she was about to decline...

A cold, low, magnetic male voice suddenly came from behind.

"Yu Qianxia."

Shan Xingyou shot a glare at the unexpected visitor.

Yu Muqiu walked up to her, his deep eyes focused on her face. "Grandma heard you're back, it's been a while since we've seen each other. Want to come over to my place?"

Without thinking, Yu Qianxia agreed, "Sure."

Shan Xingyou's heart sank. "Xiaxia, I..."

"Sorry, Shan Xingyou. How about you ask one of your friends to go with you? I'm not that interested in skiing," Yu Qianxia said apologetically.

Shan Xingyou was fuming with frustration. He stepped forward, intending to follow them, but the man raised a long leg, blocking his way.

"Sorry, my grandmother has some private matters to discuss with Yu Qianxia. You're not welcome to join," Yu Muqiu said flatly, but his tone carried an ominous undertone.

Shan Xingyou had no choice but to stay where he was, watching helplessly as the two of them walked away.

Damn it! How despicable!

"It's really been a while since I last saw Grandma Yu," Yu Qianxia said with concern. "How's she doing lately?"

Yu Muqiu's expression softened. "Grandma is doing well, thank you for asking."

"That's good." Yu Qianxia smiled.

The Yu family lived right next door to her, just a ten-minute walk away.

Yu Muqiu's parents had divorced when he was very young. They didn't have much affection for each other—it had been a marriage for business purposes, and eventually, both of them cheated. They each started new families, and his mother moved abroad. They lost contact long ago. His father was eventually kicked out of the Yu family because of poor management, and the family grew distant over time.

For years, the Yu family had been on a downhill spiral, nearly going bankrupt. It wasn't until Grandma Yu hired a senior assistant to manage the company that things started to turn around. When Yu Muqiu came of age, he took over the business, gradually restoring it to stability.

Even though Yu Muqiu had suddenly rebelled and entered the entertainment industry in recent years, he didn't neglect his responsibilities at Yu's. The company was flourishing, and everything was progressing in a good direction.

Before entering the house, Yu Qianxia asked the cameraman to stop filming.

There was an elderly person inside, and she probably wouldn't want to be filmed.

As they entered the Yu household, Grandma Yu greeted her with a warm hug. "Yu girl, you've lost quite a bit of weight again. When you came back during the break two years ago, I remember your face still had some roundness to it."

"You're still as adorable as ever, Grandma," Yu Qianxia said with a smile, feeling both amused and helpless as she returned the hug.

Grandma Yu grabbed her hand and pulled her inside. "Come, come, sit down. It's been ages since anyone's had a chat with this old lady. Muqiu's so quiet, I'm getting bored out of my mind at home."

Yu Qianxia obediently sat next to her. "What would you like to talk about? I'll keep you company."

Grandma Yu asked about her work, and Yu Qianxia shared some of her experiences in the entertainment industry.

She didn't mention the darker sides, fearing it might upset the elderly woman, instead focusing on the lighter, more fun stories. Grandma Yu couldn't help but laugh, her face beaming with joy.

Somehow, the topic shifted to something more personal.

Grandma Yu, with a curious tone, asked, "Yu girl, are there a lot of handsome guys in the entertainment industry? I'm asking you, do you have a boyfriend secretly?"

The man sitting with his long legs slightly bent on the sofa suddenly lifted his head.

Suddenly asked such a question, Yu Qianxia couldn't help but feel a little dumbfounded. She noticed a gaze that seemed almost tangible, landing on her, its presence incredibly strong.

Grandma Yu also looked at her intently, as if she was very interested in this question.

Yu Qianxia smiled slightly, saying calmly, "How could that be? I'm not even thinking about those things. I don't have the time or energy for them."

"So, you don't have a boyfriend yet?" Grandma Yu smiled broadly.

Yu Qianxia lightly smiled and nodded, "No."

"Such an outstanding girl like you must have a lot of guys chasing after you, right?" Grandma Yu pressed on, "Is there anyone you like?"

Yu Qianxia smiled and shook her head, "There are no admirers, Grandma. Right now, I'm focused on my career, I have no interest in dating."

Grandma Yu nodded, seemingly pondering something, and after a while, she spoke again, "Being single is fine, but having someone around means more care and no loneliness, no one to talk to or confide in, right?"

Yu Qianxia smiled lightly and nodded in agreement, "You're right, Grandma."

Grandma Yu held her hand and gently patted it, "Muqiu is not that young anymore, what do you think of him, huh?"

Before she could finish, Yu Muqiu suddenly spoke up, "Grandma."

His voice held a trace of urgency.

Grandma Yu glanced at him secretly, signaling him not to interrupt.

Yu Muqiu swallowed nervously, a bit anxious.

Yu Qianxia was confused and nodded along, "He's quite good."

Grandma Yu smiled and said, "Right? He's in his twenties now, yet he doesn't even have a girlfriend, and there isn't a single female friend around him... You see, we're at the age where marriage talks are happening, and if he's not anxious, I'm starting to get anxious."

"He's the one I've watched grow up, and I'm getting older. I wonder if I'll even live to see him settle down."

Yu Qianxia patted her hand, "Grandma, you're still in great health. Not only will you see Yu Muqiu settle down, you'll see him have children too..."

Though her words were meant to comfort, Grandma Yu felt warmth in her heart hearing them, "Still my Yu girl, speaking from the heart, Muqiu has always been closest to you. No other girl has been allowed near him. You're the most special one to him."

Yu Qianxia didn't feel anything unusual upon hearing this, but Yu Muqiu, not far away, felt as if he were sitting on pins and needles, his face involuntarily heating up.

The meaning behind Grandma's words was too obvious.
