Chapter 63 -63: Last Wish
Li Yuechan looked at Long Chen with a guilty expression, and she couldn’t help getting angry.
“You bastard, don’t tell me you’ve actually fallen for Li Yueyue?”
“How could I?” Long Chen said sternly, “Yuechan, do you really see me as someone who can’t distinguish between what’s important and what’s not?”
“Hmph, who knows? Come on, let’s go see Grandpa.”
Li Yuechan pulled Long Chen along as they walked forward.
A moment later, the two were in the study, meeting the old Mr. Li Chungang.
The old man was wearing presbyopic glasses and holding a magnifying glass, intently observing an old-looking painting.
Seeing Long Chen and Li Yuechan enter, he slowly put down the magnifying glass and smiled, “Have a seat.”
“Grandpa, I haven’t seen you in a few days, and you look healthier than ever.”
Li Yuechan walked over with a smile.
“You girl, always picking the nice things to say, sit down first, let’s have a good chat,” the old man said.
Old Mr. Li’s gaze continuously shifted back and forth between Long Chen and Li Yuechan several times.
Long Chen looked puzzled, “Grandpa, is there something wrong with me?”
“Not at all,” Mr. Li laughed, “I just think that you and Yuechan are indeed well-matched. In this world, probably only you deserve my granddaughter.”
“Grandpa, you’re making fun of me again.”
Li Yuechan blushed.
Old Mr. Li laughed heartily and then turned to Long Chen, “I’ve heard about your divorce from Yuechan.
Long Chen, I know you’ve faced numerous difficulties at home, and your desire to leave was understandable.
However, your marriage with Yuechan should not end this way.
You’ve been married for over a year and still have feelings for each other, don’t leave yourselves with regrets, that’s one thing.
Secondly, if your grandfather knew, he wouldn’t want you two to divorce, so I hope you can remarry and live a good life together.”
“Grandpa, actually Yuechan and I are already planning to remarry. The reason I refused Yuechan’s father was just to make them respect me more when I return home, nothing else,”
Long Chen said with a wry smile.
“You, you know how to play this game?”
Old Mr. Li was astonished.
“Yuechan taught me,” Long Chen immediately blamed Li Yuechan.
Old Mr. Li couldn’t help but laugh, “If Yuechan is supporting you like this, it means she truly approves of you. Then I, an old man, have nothing to worry about.”
“Grandpa, you don’t need to worry about this matter. However, I do have something else I want to ask you about,” Long Chen said softly.
“What is it?”
Old Mr. Li picked up his teacup.
“About my ancestry, I…”
Crash.
Old Mr. Li’s teacup instantly slipped from his hand and shattered.
“Grandpa, are you okay?”
Li Yuechan asked anxiously.
“I’m… I’m fine, just a slip of the hand. Yuechan, go and spend some time with your sister, I need to talk to Long Chen,” Mr. Li said.
“Alright.”
Li Yuechan smiled bitterly.
She knew there must be some things her grandfather didn’t want her to hear.
Li Yuechan was really curious, what couldn’t she hear?
After Li Yuechan left the study, Old Mr. Li stood up, stared at Long Chen, and asked in a serious tone, “Do you already know something?”
“I know a little. Recently, I went to treat old Mr. Gu Changming at his ancestral home, and accidentally met an elderly man named Xiao Xingtian, who revealed some information.
Xiao mentioned that when I was one year old, I was sent by my father to Seven Star City, to be raised by my already deceased grandfather, but in reality, I was not his biological grandson.
“Grandfather, you must know some of the truth, could you tell me about it?”
“Do you want to know the name of your biological father?” Old Master Li asked.
Long Chen was stunned and silent for a long time before he gently nodded.
It wasn’t just his father he wanted to know about – he was even more eager to find out who his mother was.
“Child, I’m truly sorry, but I dare not mention your father’s name. When the time is right, he may come to you himself. If he doesn’t speak, neither can I,” Old Master Li said with a wry smile.
“Tell me, and I promise it won’t go any further. I definitely won’t say it was you who told me,” Long Chen insisted firmly.
“It’s not possible,” Old Master Li replied. “I actually never met your father. I only know these things from your late grandfather Long Hai. Yet merely from this, your father could guess that I am aware, so he called me a year ago, sternly warning me.”
“What’s the point of being so secretive? It’s pointless.”
Long Chen felt somewhat gloomy.
“You’ll eventually know the reason. Don’t worry. But there’s another matter I need to tell you.”
“What is it?”
Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.
“About your grandfather’s last wish… let’s not say it was his last wish. I’ll just consider it that stubborn old man’s last wish,” Old Master Li slowly said. “In the past, while drinking and chatting with him, he repeatedly mentioned wanting to return to his hometown to pay homage to his parents and to see whether that celestial beauty from his youth had also become an old woman. He…”
At this point, Old Master Li suddenly choked up.
Long Chen had already guessed something and softly asked, “The celestial beauty from his youth that grandpa spoke of, who was she to him at that time?”
“His lover,” Old Master Li replied. “I can tell you the reason they separated. Long Hai, that stubborn old man, left her because… because…”
“Because of what?” Long Chen was a bit anxious.
“Because in a battle on the battlefield, he was accidentally injured there, and so upon returning to his hometown, he completely separated himself from that girl. But in his heart, she was the only one.”
Boom.
Long Chen felt as if struck by lightning.
So his grandfather had had such a past, and it tore Long Chen’s heart apart.
To love deeply yet be forced to let go – how agonizing must that have been?
And Long Chen knew his grandfather had been a soldier in his youth, but he had never imagined that he had experienced the battles of blood and fire.
“I think, your grandfather’s greatest regret must have been her, and that person probably despised your grandfather all her life.
If you have time, you should go see her, help her unravel some of her emotional knots. Her name is Wang Ming. I estimate that by now she must be of considerable age, half a step into the grave, so how could she carry these regrets with her?”
“I will go,” Long Chen said solemnly.
A long while later, when Long Chen left the study, he appeared somewhat dazed, and the memories related to his grandfather incessantly surged up.
“Did you have a good talk?”
Li Yuechan came forward, accompanied by Li Yueyue.
The two of them had been waiting not far from the study for Long Chen.
Long Chen came back to his senses and managed a forced smile: “It’s finished.”
“What’s wrong with you? Did something happen?”
Li Yuechan asked with concern.
“Yes, brother-in-law, you don’t look very good,” Li Yueyue added.
“It’s really nothing. By the way, Yueyue girl, brother-in-law has come a long way; aren’t you going to cook something delicious as a treat?”
“Absolutely not, my first time must be saved for my man,” Li Yueyue said triumphantly.
“Huh?”
Long Chen found this response somewhat inappropriate.
Li Yuechan was also staring at Li Yueyue with a strange expression.
Li Yueyue quickly waved her hands and, blushing, said, “Don’t misunderstand, I mean my first time cooking.”
