Chapter 274: Chapter 274 Following her around

Looking at the young man sitting beside him, grandfather Ji didn't know how to respond back to Lu Tian. He knows that his granddaughter is someone with outstanding skills, but....

Thinking of something, he sighs, "Boy, I don't mind, but that man is no longer in Imperial. After he saved Jingxu, he left the military life to marry his one true love."

Zhong Yang: "....."

The assistant was even more dumbfounded. Grandfather Ji spoke in such a serious expression that he wanted to go over there and strangle the man for saying that the young miss left to get marry! Of course, he can't do anything, because If he did, Lu Tian will definitely know that his master was lying.

Oblivious to the assistant, Lu Tian slight nod his head in understanding. He had hope for his team to advance in their strength but it seems like he'll have to find another way. Beside, it was more like an excuse to meet the person.

"It's alright then. I had hope to meet that man." A faint smile curl on his lip, "Even the thought of testing out each other's capabilities."

"....."

Both the boss and assistant were even more dumbfounded than ever. Lu Tian wanted to test out who was better in strength? Uh... if that was really the case, what would happen to their precious Yue Ling? Not that they don't have faith in her, but...

Grandfather Ji looks at Lu Tian and he frown. If Lu Tian and his granddaughter were to go inside the ring, wouldn't Lu Tian crush her? No, no way! His head shook and he shook away the thought.

Sitting silently across from the room, Old Lu furrow his brows as he tries to piece together what the two people were talking. Yet, no matter how much he tried, he just couldn't. He looks at his eldest son.

"Tian, what are you and grandfather talking about? What do you mean 'that man'?"

Lu Tian eyes looks at his father and he did not answer. He stood from his seat and prepares to leave.

"I have things to do. I'll take my leave first."

He didn't want for a reply and bid farewell to the older people and leaves the living room. From behind, Old Lu sighed a deep breath.

"I can never understand what is on that boy's mind. He and his younger brother are two complete different people." He looks at grandfather Ji and smiles, "Again, I hope Tian did not offend you."

Hearing this, grandfather Ji did not get mad, instead, he laughs a joyful laugh, "Don't worry, I trust the boy. I've watched him grow up and he has become a good man. The Lu family should feel bless to have sons like Tian and Han."

Grandfather Ji turn to look in the direction Lu Tian had left. He felt extremely relaxed inside knowing that is granddaughter is protected by someone like Lu Tian. Although he knows that Yue Ling is a strong person, but a person can only be strong for so long. She has her limits and when it does crumble, he hopes that Lu Tian can be the one to hold her hand and give her strength.

With Lu Tian out of the house, only the four older people remained. Grandfather Ji stayed and chatted for a while, but he had to leave. Old Lu and Madam Lu walked the old man out of the house and to his car.

Each person bid their farewell and as grandfather Ji's car drove out of the driveway, Madam Lu sighed and looks at her husband.

"Dear, should we really not stop Tian? What if this woman is not the right one for him? I do not want my sons to be used because of their wealth..."

Old Lu did not answer, but continue stare at the back of grandfather Ji's car. He then looks up to the now red sky and thought about his wife's question.

He let out a deep sigh and looks to his wife. A faint smile cross his lip, "I know you are worried, but we should trust Tian. He will never do anything that is bad."

Madam Lu nod her head and looks in the direction grandfather Ji's car had left. "You're right, but I had really hoped that we could bring both families together... After all, it was the only thing in the will your father left behind before he passed away."

Hearing this, Old Lu felt a tinge of regret and guilt in his heart. His wife was right, his father and Old Lu were great friends, along with Old Han. They were the three greatest of friends that everyone envied how strong their friendship from youth to old age. Unfortunately, Old Han passed away, then his father.

On his father's deathbed, he was asked to promise to marry his first son to either Old Han or grandfather Ji's first granddaughter. His father hoped to bring both families together and actually become real family.

However, now that Lu Tian has taken a liking to another girl, does that mean he will have to break that promise? Wouldn't that make his father, who is resting peacefully wake up from the dead? Not only that, wouldn't that hurt grandfather Ji's feelings?

Ahhhh... but he also doesn't want to force his sons into marriages that they doesn't have an ounce of love... A loveless marriage is pointless to anyone.

Thinking of it, he suddenly and unexpectedly thought of something. The end of his curl up fainty and softly chuckles.

Hearing him suddenly laugh, Madam Lu frown and looks at her husband, "What is so funny?"

Old Lu shook his head and place his hand on the back of his wife's back, "It's getting cold, lets go inside."

As the could walk towards their house, Madam Lu frown more and glares at her husband, "Old man, you better tell your old wife what made you laugh."

"..."

Old Lu was at a loss for words. He scoff a chuckle and decides to tell her why he laughed. It's not like he ever keeps anything away from her anyways.

"I suddenly remembered a day after Min Joon and An Ling passed away."

Hearing the two names that still ached her heart, Madam Lu's frown disappear and was replace with grief.

Ji An Ling was her only friend growing up, while Han Min Joon was one of the few friends to Old Lu. It was thanks to the couple that they were able to be meet.

Reminded of the good old days, Madam Lu rest her head on her husband's shoulder.

"I miss the two of them so much."

Old Lu sighed a smile, "Me too."

Entering the house again, the couple sat down on the sofa again. Just a moment ago, the house was full with people, but now it's just the two of them again.

Remember something, Madam Lu looks at her husband and narrow her eyes, "You didn't tell me what made you suddenly think of Min Joon and An Ling."

"...."

Old Lu laughs and held his wife's hand. He place it gently on his thigh and his thumb caress the back of her hand.

"I remembered the year after Min Joon and An Ling passed away, Old Han brought their little girl to visit. At the time, she was probably only eight or nine years old. She was once a cheerful little child, but after the passing of her parents, she seemed to closed everyone out."

Madam Lu furrow her brows, "and how is that funny?"

He looks at his wife and wanted to flick her head, but decided to hold back.

"Well, that day when Old Han brought his granddaughter here, it was the first time since the young ones met that I saw Tian sneakily following her around. When they left, I asked Tian why he was following her and he told me that he wanted to protect her."

Old Lu chuckles and his words continue.

"He wanted to protect her because he wanted to see her smile again. He told me that she had the most beautiful smile."

Hearing the story, Madam Lu smile with a sigh, "It would be great if the girl Tian plans to marry is the little girl he wanted to protect back then."
