Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Evan was convinced his grandmother wouldn't deceive him, so he turned back to pursue Abby once again. After all their ups and downs, he refused to avoid her anymore. In Mrs. Du's heart, Evan was already her son-in-law. Since Abby's future happiness depended on it, Mrs. Du paid close attention to everything involving her potential son-in-law.

"Hospitalized? That serious? Is his life in danger?" Mrs. Du was shocked, never expecting something as simple as eating chili peppers to escalate so dramatically.
