Old Master Yun sighed deeply and waved his hands before shaking his head . “Let's not talk about things from the past . Bixue, you have to remember that after I die, your only relative in the Yun family would be Bilu . You have to rely on each other . The rest are not your relatives . Do you understand?”

“Yes, Grandfather . I understand . You'll lead a long life . It upsets me when you say these kinds of things . ” Yun Bixue looked at her grandfather's head full of white hair . His words further perpetuated her sorrow and an urge to cry surged up in her heart .

“Okay . I'll stop saying those . I still have to see your wedding ceremony and my great-grandchildren . My body is still st.u.r.dy . I can even take care of your children for a couple of years . ” Old Master Yun's eyes leaked traces of longing as he looked at Yun Bixue .

He was already so old, so he knew that his days were numbered . However, he really couldn't bear to leave . It was only natural for people to pa.s.s away when they got old, but he couldn't help feeling worried about her .

( Box novel . c om )   On behalf of his son and daughter-in-law, he wanted to make sure that both his granddaughters led blissful lives before he would depart in peace .

Yun Bixue nodded her head profusely as she hugged her grandfather's arm . She said in a teasing voice, “Grandfather, you have to look after us, alright? If not, no one would back me up if he bullies me . ” As she said the last sentence, she threw a glance at Xie Limo and pouted at him .

Xie Limo shook his head as a chuckle escaped his mouth . This woman was becoming more and more like a little girl as time pa.s.sed .

He rea.s.sured Old Master Yun, “Don't worry, Grandfather . As long as I'm here, I'll make sure that you'll see your grandson grow up . ”

“Great, great!” Other than 'great,' Old Master Yun did not know what else to say . He was very satisfied and delighted with his grandson-in-law .

But the more he looked at Xie Limo, the more he was reminded of his own son . Her son adored his daughter-in-law, and they shared a great relations.h.i.+p . It was a pity that…

“Grandfather, can you really not talk about what happened in the past?”

“You youngsters just need to take care of yourselves . The past had already gone by, so it doesn't hold much meaning to talk about it . ” He didn't want his granddaughter and grandson-in-law to worry . They were about to have their wedding, so they shouldn't be distracted by other matters . If that happened, he would never forgive himself .

Yun Bixue knew her grandfather's personality . He had a stubborn nature, so if he said that he wasn't going to talk about it, he wouldn't no matter how much they asked .

She looked at Xie Limo and blinked her eyes meaningfully .

Xie Limo caught her signal and said, “Grandfather, I'll get someone to frame this painting and ask them to cook lunch for us . In the meantime, let's play a few rounds of chess . ”

Old Master Yun's favorite pastime was chess . Once he heard the word 'chess,' his face lit up immediately, and he forgot about other things . “Alright, let's go . We'll sit there . I've already set the board for chess, and we'll use the jade pieces that you gave me . I can't bear to use it on normal days . I have always been waiting for you!”

“We'll play chess for as long as you want . ” Xie Limo rea.s.sured him .

Old Master Yun replied with a hearty laugh . His mood improved significantly as he played chess with Xie Limo .

Yun Bixue could finally let out a breath of relief . She was so worried . She placed a hand on her chest—it was so uncomfortable here just now .

She turned to Auntie Zhou . “Auntie Zhou, since Xie Limo had already ordered the chefs to cook our lunch, we can take this chance to chat . ”

( Box novel . c om )    Auntie Zhou followed Yun Bixue to the yard and sat under the pavilion . Even though it was autumn, it was comfortably warm with the sun's rays s.h.i.+ning on this place .

“Auntie Zhou, Grandfather is a lot happier with your company . He has been in your hands for a long while . ”

“What is Young Madam talking about? It's my honor to get to know Old Master . He's great and makes great company for this old me as well . I'm very much willing to take care of him . ” From their day-to-day interactions, Auntie Zhou started to fall for Old Master .
