1157 You’re My Grandchild (1/2)

With her arm still in the grasp on the old lady, Yu Lili nodded her head. At that moment, her tear-stained eyes looked desolate.

She was about to lift her hand to press the tears back into her eyes when Old Mrs. Shen pulled it back down and said, ”Don't rub your eyes if they feel uncomfortable. The more you rub, the worse the discomfort will be. Wear a pair of shades instead if the wind is too strong.”

As she said that, she slowly reached her hand out toward Shen Zhilie and commanded, ”Zhilie, glasses.”

Shen Zhilie immediately retrieved a pair of shades from his backpack. With his body bowed forward, he respectfully said, ”Your Imperial Majesty, here are the shades.”

It was an extremely comical sight. Old Mrs. Shen burst out in laughter and took the shades from him. When she turned to Yu Lili, her expression wasn't the same.

”Here. This is for you.” Old Mrs. Shen put the glasses on Yu Lili's face. ”Wear them. It'll protect your eyes from the wind.”

Yu Lili's heart warmed at the gesture. She knew without looking at a mirror that her eyes were red and swollen with tears. She accepted the shades without any consideration and said a word of thanks. She then led Old Mrs. Shen and Shen Zhilie to the shopping mall ahead.

When they reached the Thai restaurant, a waitress in traditional Thai garb came out to greet them with the fingers and palms of both hands pressed against each other. ”Sawadee ka!”

Old Mrs. Shen mimicked her actions and returned the greeting with a bow. ”Sawadee ka!”

Even the waitress couldn't help laughing. She led the trio into one of the private dining rooms inside the restaurant.

After ordering, Old Mrs. Shen seemed quite excited. ”Lili, this is my first time in a Thai restaurant in Kingstown. I heard that Kingstown is very near to Thailand. Why don't we go to Thailand together?”

When Shen Zhilie heard that, he had no choice but to be a wet blanket. He cleared his throat gently and said, ”Grandma, we didn't bring our passports.”

”Get your older brother to send them over,” his grandmother said.
