NovelStartChapter 559: Chapter 375: It hurt so much when he got pricked (Additional Release) _1 The old man's face has already darkened, but Lu Qingtian, who's oblivious, brings his cell phone up to his grandfather, "Grandpa, look at this. She's pretty and her hair is long, about the slength as my sister-in-law!" The old man squints at the photo of the girl, furrows his brow slightly. It's not Nanxi-he doesn't recognize her from the previous photo-it's a different person.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLu Qingtian is still marvelling, then pulls up his gallery on his phone. There are countless photos of various girls. It's as if he's discovered a treasure trove. He pulls his grandfather close, "Grandpa, my nephew is really up to no good. There's so many photos of girls on his phone..." The old man continues to squint, glancing over the photos Lu Qingtian is flipping through-each one a vibrant, lovely girl that seems to be a good match for his great-grandson...
"Ah, isn't this a photo of my sister-in-law? How does my nephew have a photo of her on his phone..." The old man squints. Sure enough, he sees a familiar picture - the sone he saw earlier. His expression darkens.
"Oh my, Grandpa, my nephew, he..." "What are you doing with my phone?" A cool, male voice drifts over, scaring Lu Qingtian. He stumbles, nearly dropping the phone! Li Weihuan walks down from the stairs, his face unreadable. He doesn't like others touching his stuff—a common occurrence over the years.
The old man looks at his great-grandson, furrowed his brows, and speaks, "Come, sit down." Li Weihuan tightens his lips, walks over, sits down, and swiftly takes his phone from Lu Qingtian's hand, pocketing it! Lu Qingtian sticks out his tongue mimicking his actions, muttering under his breath, "Stingy!" "Weihuan, Your great-grandfather wants to ask you about these photos on your phone..." "Photos?" "The ones of those girls! They all look so pretty!" Lu Qingtian adds from the side.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe thought to himself, ‘let's see how you explain this to Grandpa, especially the fact you've hidden photos of sister-in-law! Humph!' Li Weihuan looks innocent, "Well, uh, great-grandpa, those were collected by Zhang Mu. He said they're all the top beauties from our school's different departments. Then he... he sent Xiaobai andcopies, saying he could introduce us if we were interested. But great-grandpa, I assure you, I've never fooled around with any of the girls in the photos. You have to believe me!" Lu Qingtian pouts from the side, thinking, 'Lexcuse, who would believe that!' The old man squints, "Then who's in the photo on your screensaver?" "Well, that just a random selection. I keep changing it. I don't even know who she is. Great-grandpa, I swear, I didn't do anything inappropriate. Plus, you know I've been abroad for a year and a half. If I was to do anything, wouldn't I choose a foreign girl? Also..."
Li Weihuan meets his gaze and continues, “Also, I don't put much faith in love. I was scared by my parents' constant bickering when t was young. I think love is too distressing, and you know what kind of person my mother is. Unless the girl I choose comes from a well-off and reputable family, my mother would nip the relationship in the bud..." The old man does not respond, he scrutinises his great-grandson, assessing the sincerity in his words.
Li Weihuan then says, "Great-grandpa, I need a favour. Ever since I cback home, my mother has been constantly setting up blind dates for me. I've felt cornered and for obliged to attend out of respect. My father's not doing well, and my actions have upset my mother countless times throughout the years. I don't want to be an unfilial son, but I also don't want to barter my marriage and love for something else...
So great-grandpa, if there comes a day when I fall in love with a girl and she doesn't comply with my mother's wishes, could you please make the decision form for me? So that I can fulfil my wishes and follow my heart. Life is short. I don't think I'm destined for great things; however, I'm someone who would strive for my family and the girl I love. I hope Great Grandpa would grantmy wish..." When Lu Yinchu and Nanxi get out of the car, it's six twenty in the afternoon. Nanxi is very nervous, her palms sweating. Lu Yinchu holds her hand, and gives her a reassuring kiss on the cheek, “Just be yourself as usual, don't worry!" Nanxi nods. Her hand, enveloped in his, is warm. Smelling his scent, she feels calm.
