Chapter 187: Chapter 104 Are You Treating Your Lifelong Happiness as a Child’s Play_2

Lu Yulin is actually not dull; it’s just that he doesn’t like studying, and his personality is somewhat difficult to manage. Now, at his rebellious age, there’s no one in the family who can control him.

Even his parents are no match for him.

...

One hour later, when Mu Shinian returned to the hospital ward with the wontons she had bought for Elder Mu, Song Qiao was sitting by the bed peeling an apple for the old man. Whatever the grandfather and granddaughter were talking about, both had smiles on their faces, evidently in good spirits.

"Grandpa, I’ve brought back wontons for you," Mu Shinian walked straight over to the side of the bed and said with an obedient smile to Elder Mu, "They’re still hot. Would you like to eat them now?"

The smile on Elder Mu’s face grew even brighter as he nodded repeatedly, "Good, good, Shinian, you haven’t had lunch yet, right? Why don’t you join grandpa and eat together..." His gaze fell on the single portion of wontons in Mu Shinian’s hand, and he frowned slightly, asking, "Why did you buy only one portion? Aren’t you and your sister eating?"

Mu Shinian found a ceramic bowl and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law just said he would take me and sister out to eat later, this is specially bought for you."

"What brother-in-law?" Elder Mu quickly caught the key point in Mu Shinian’s words, his brow furrowed and his aged face showing confusion as he looked from Mu Shinian to Song Qiao, who had suddenly stopped her actions on the other side.

Mu Shinian turned to look at Song Qiao, a bit surprised as she said, "Sister, haven’t you told grandpa yet?"

Mu Shinian saw her sister’s panic, as well as the confusion on their grandpa’s face, and belatedly realized something.

It seems... he did something wrong.

Pressing down the chaos in her heart, Song Qiao peeled off the last bit of apple skin before raising her eyes to look at Elder Mu, who was still waiting for her explanation. Taking a deep breath, she finally made up her mind to speak, "Grandpa, I got married..."

"You say you got married?" Elder Mu suddenly widened his once-clear now slightly hazy eyes in disbelief, staring at Song Qiao, his voice trembling slightly, obviously a bit angry, "You got married? Qiaoqiao, marriage is a lifelong commitment; why didn’t you discuss it with me first? And you’re still so young, to just get married like this, are you treating your lifelong happiness as a game? Do you still consider me your grandfather?"

Seeing Elder Mu’s emotions rising suddenly, Song Qiao immediately dropped the apple in panic, moving forward to soothe him, "Grandpa, please don’t get agitated; let me explain to you..."

"Grandpa, please don’t get upset, listen to sister’s explanation, okay? I’ve met brother-in-law, he’s a good person. You’ll definitely like him once you meet him," blurted out a flustered Mu Shinian, as she quickly set down the bowl and went forward to help Elder Mu calm down.

Despite his discomfort, Elder Mu, being their own grandfather and having lived a lifetime, only got angry for a moment. Seeing the nearly tearful faces of the two children, he held back his anger but still spoke very sternly, "Alright, why get married all of a sudden, and who is the other party?"

In the memories of Song Qiao and Mu Shinian, Elder Mu had always been a very lovely and amiable old man, who had been patient and kind to them, even when they occasionally made mistakes.

So suddenly seeing Elder Mu being somewhat stern, the two siblings immediately knew that this time Elder Mu was truly angry.

As Song Qiao was thinking about how to explain to Elder Mu, the man standing at the door of the ward slightly curved his lips and then knocked on the door. After hearing Elder Mu’s lukewarm invitation to enter, he opened the door and walked in.

All three people in the room instinctively turned their heads in unison and saw Lu Jingchen entering the ward, each wearing a different expression.

Lu Jingchen, however, remained composed and walked towards Song Qiao with an unfazed expression, even politely nodding to Elder Mu as a greeting when he caught his gaze.

Mu Shinian seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, while Song Qiao became even more tense. When Elder Mu saw Lu Jingchen, his eyes lit up.

The handsome man exuding a noble aura walked directly into the ward, stopping beside Song Qiao with a gentle smile on his face and spoke politely yet respectfully, "Grandpa, hello, I am Qiaoqiao’s husband in name, Lu Jingchen. I am very sorry that I did not consult with you in advance regarding our marriage to Qiaoqiao."

His words were perfectly expressed, and his demeanour was one of noble grace, yet he did not lack respect for Elder Mu, and even though he had not yet received Elder Mu’s approval, he still directly addressed him as Grandpa.

Song Qiao bit her lip and stood there, retracting her gaze from Lu Jingchen, her heart constantly drumming.

Lu Jingchen, however, noticed her subtle reactions and extended his hand to firmly grasp her small one.

Elder Mu, having schemed for most of his life, how could he fail to see the action of Lu Jingchen suddenly taking hold of his granddaughter’s hand? Not sure if it was because he immediately discerned that Lu Jingchen was no ordinary person, or if he seemed to be decent toward Song Qiao, or because Lu Jingchen was the first to lower his tone and take the initiative to admit fault, the anger in Elder Mu’s heart had dissipated quite a bit.

His tone was still somewhat strict, but with a hint of warmth, he looked at Lu Jingchen and asked, "Did you really marry my Qiaoqiao?"

Lu Jingchen’s expression didn’t waver, and with a resolute look in his eyes, he nodded at Elder Mu, "We haven’t been married for long, and I’ve been wanting to visit you, but for some reason, we couldn’t come earlier, for which I am truly sorry."
