Chapter 986: You Can't Spoil a Woman!
Sure, here's the translation:
Not long after, Nangong Honghu hurriedly arrived at Southern City Hospital, Jiang Feng personally went downstairs to meet him.
Moreover, the old man was carrying a cup of hot porridge he bought on the way. Knowing that his precious granddaughter was hospitalized due to drinking, he was worried. He couldn't let her damage her stomach; the porridge was meant to warm it.
However, along with this worry, Nangong Honghu became increasingly angry on the way.
No matter what, even if the couple is having a quarrel, she shouldn't be drinking out of spite. Such a habit can't be encouraged, especially when Nangong Qingcheng is drinking secretly. How worrying is that! What if something really happens?
"Xiao Feng, tell me the truth, why are you and Qingcheng at odds? Given Qingcheng's character, she shouldn't be drinking secretly. What's really going on?"
Nangong Honghu asked Jiang Feng directly upon seeing him.
"Old Man, I've told you, really it's nothing. Qingcheng has a little misunderstanding towards me, and she's upset. I can deal with it."
Jiang Feng was also helpless; he couldn't possibly tell the Old Man that Nangong Qingcheng was jealous, right?
Besides, his words weren't entirely insincere, Nangong Qingcheng did have some misunderstandings about him.
After all, he only approached the Southern Demon Moon Alliance issue for Fengming's sake. He resisted all temptations before, never truly wronged Nangong Qingcheng.
"Misunderstanding?" Nangong Honghu frowned.
"Yes, it's all my fault for not explaining clearly." Jiang Feng smiled wryly.
"Hmph, Xiao Feng, you can't say that. You're such a good person; how could you bully Qingcheng? This girl has been spoiled by me since she was little, with a big temper. I, as her grandfather, must talk to her. It's not okay for the couple not to live well together; quarreling doesn't work. Especially drinking, which harms the body; it should only happen once and never again!"
Huh?
Jiang Feng was stunned upon hearing this; no, this wasn't the response he expected. How could the Old Man just unconditionally stand on his side?
"Ahem, Old Man..."
However, before he could finish, Nangong Honghu, already glaring with bulging cheeks, entered the ward.
"Grandfather..."
Seeing the Old Man coming in, Nangong Qingcheng's eyes reddened, but she still couldn't get out of bed, so she covered her lower body with a sheet, calling out with grievance.
"Qingcheng, what's going on? I heard from Xiao Feng that you drank a lot and passed out? Why drink so much when there's nothing wrong? Can your body handle it?"
Nangong Honghu said unpleasantly as soon as he entered the room.
Nangong Qingcheng was immediately a bit stunned.
This wasn't the scene she had imagined; how come as soon as grandfather came, he didn't listen to her but instead started to "scold" her?
"Grandfather, what are you saying, I... I..."
"What do you mean 'you'? You girl, you're becoming more and more outrageous. Xiao Feng treats you so well, over all these years, I've seen it with my own eyes. He dotes on you, pampers you, and now he's doing everything he can to help you. How can you be so unruly? You've even picked up the bad habit of drinking; how can I rest easy?"
Nangong Honghu said with a semblance of seriousness.
Nangong Qingcheng listened, becoming more and more confused. What was he talking about? Why was he accusing her without asking for details first?
She glared fiercely at Jiang Feng, wanting to know how Jiang Feng could have brainwashed her grandfather into ignoring her grievances.
But Jiang Feng was also looking rather helpless, feeling more innocent than anyone else.
"Grandfather, you don't know the situation at all, this guy, he..."
"What about him?"
Nangong Honghu angrily placed the hot porridge aside: "Am I wrong? Isn't Xiao Feng good enough for you? Such a good man, hard to find even with a lantern. You can't throw childish tantrums anymore, you know? I've said it, I support the two of you holding the wedding now, but you don't agree. How can you still sulk?"
Nangong Qingcheng was stunned speechless by his words, finally unable to take it, she pursed her lips and tearfully cried.
Seeing Nangong Qingcheng crying, Jiang Feng felt distressed and immediately stepped forward: "Old Man, don't blame Qingcheng, it's not her fault for being angry at me. I have indeed done wrong. As long as the misunderstanding is resolved, we'll solve our problems ourselves; don't worry yourself..."
Nangong Honghu seeing Nangong Qingcheng tearful due to his words also realized his tone was too harsh.
But, then again, he couldn't soften at this time. If he didn't correct Nangong Qingcheng's bad habits, what if she drinks and goes missing easily in the future?
"Xiao Feng, I know you care about Qingcheng, but you can't always indulge her. It's easy to form bad habits, you know?" Nangong Honghu said earnestly.
Jiang Feng suddenly felt a great sense of awkwardness. He already felt guilty towards Nangong Qingcheng, but with the Old Man intervening, it became even more embarrassing.
"Ahem, Old Man, you're right. Women indeed can't be indulged too much, but why don't you sit down."
Going along with the Old Man's words, he quickly helped Nangong Honghu to the couch.
When those words came out, Nangong Qingcheng, feeling aggrieved, felt Jiang Feng was portraying himself as the victim first, glaring at him with indignation, her lips pouted high!
With Nangong Qingcheng's cold gaze on him, Jiang Feng suddenly felt a chill, quickly grabbing the hot porridge and smiling to change the subject: "Qingcheng, here's what the Old Man bought for you, drink some to warm your stomach."
Seeing Jiang Feng approaching, Nangong Qingcheng nearly laughed out of anger. This guy, after treating her like this, still has the nerve to ask her to drink porridge?
Even if she died today, she wouldn't give him an easy way out! She... However, before she finished her thought, she felt her body lighten, then she drifted into Jiang Feng's arms.
Afterwards, Jiang Feng sat on the bed, placing the wrapped Nangong Qingcheng on his lap, naturally holding her in his arms.
This scene instantly stunned Nangong Honghu!
This young couple, are they already like this? Right in front of this old man...
Young people, truly bold!
And after Nangong Qingcheng's brief shock, she immediately felt a strong sense of shame and annoyance, jokingly saying: "Jiang Feng, what are you doing, let go of me, you bastard!"
"Alright, alright, Qingcheng, it's all my fault, don't be angry, come on, eat something first."
Jiang Feng opened the porridge cup, then with gentle force, locked Nangong Qingcheng snugly in his embrace, although she couldn't break free but definitely wouldn't feel uncomfortable.
This scene reminded Nangong Qingcheng of the time in Fengming's office when Jiang Feng fed her pot stickers.
How similar it is to now!
At least last time, it was just the two of them, but now it's in front of grandfather. How can this guy be so shameless, not feeling embarrassed?
