"That's not a problem. Just go and leave it to me." The corners of Yu Lili's lips lifted ever so slightly while the shades remained on her face.

Seeing the smile on Yu Lili's face brought a sense of relief to both Shen Zhilie and Old Mrs. Shen.

Shen Zhilie continued with his mask of unhappiness and retorted, "Hey! It's enough that my Grandma is bullying me. Are you bullying me, too?"

"What do you mean by 'hey'?" Old Mrs. Shen glared at him. "Address her properly! Her name is Yu Lili!"

Upon being reprimanded by his grandmother, Shen Zhilie shrunk his head into his shoulders. He lifted the cup to his lips and took a sip.

That image of Shen Zhilie made the smile on Yu Lili's face widen even more. An indescribable feeling filled her. It made her heart soar. But ,at the same time, in a small dark corner was a nagging feeling that this happiness did not belong to her.

This was her first time eating together with someone apart from Ou Ming and her colleagues, and it was on a festive day no less. This feeling was truly extraordinary.

The dishes were soon served. Old Mrs. Shen began to dig in. Although the old lady was getting on in years, her appetite remained hearty.

Yu Lili had ate lunch not long before, so she didn't eat much. The same went for Shen Zhilie. As a result, most of the food on the table ended up in the mouth of Old Mrs. Shen.

Shen Zhilie made many attempts to stop his grandmother from eating further. Otherwise, as Yu Lili noted, it was possible that her appetite could encompass even more.

When they were done, Shen Zhilie settled the bill.

Old Mrs. Shen had overeaten and needed a walk to help with her digestion. She pulled Yu Lili along and made her way through the shopping center.

Most of the shops in the shopping mall were closed for the New Year, but the products on display enabled them to window shop.

Despite the shops being closed, the mall nevertheless tried to maintain the festive atmosphere of the festive celebrations by blasting the holiday song "Welcoming the Spring Flowers" over the speakers.

As Yu Lili walked on with the old lady, the song started to inspire Old Mrs. Shen to sing along, "I love the flower that welcomes spring! A flower for every family…"

Shopkeepers started looking over. Shen Zhilie tried to hide his face. Yu Lili, on the other hand, beamed widely as Old Mrs. Shen tugged her along, turning to face her as she sang out loud.

Shen Zhilie covered his face with one hand. When he looked over, he saw Yu Lili facing his grandmother and smiling away. She seemed a lot less annoyed than she had been earlier in the afternoon.

Feeling a lot more settled, Shen Zhilie appreciated the sight in front of him. Although he had no idea why his grandmother liked Yu Lili so much, it was undeniable that Yu Lili possessed a really good heart. It was too bad that such a good lady was wasted on a douchebag like Ou Ming.

All the way, Old Mrs. Shen continued singing at the top of her voice, attracting many curious stares, while she held on to Yu Lili's hand and strode along. All of a sudden, the old lady stopped. She turned to look at Shen Zhilie and hollered, "Shen Zhilie, why are you hiding so far away? Do you find your Grandma an embarrassment?"

Shen Zhilie was stunned. Faced with all the questioning glances from the onlookers, he quickly covered his face. He was mortified.

Dear Grandma! Why did she have to call my name? I still have a reputation to uphold!

­­Shen Zhilie broke out in a guilty smile and announced, "I'm making way for you. Making way!" At that, he ran forward and off.

Old Mrs. Shen glared at him. Still holding on to Yu Lili's hand, she gave chase while shouting, "Stop where you are!"

Yu Lili was caught off-guard when she heard someone in the crowd comment, "Who'd have expected the old lady to have such youthful energy? My own grandma can't even walk anymore!"
