Chapter 1428. Getting Along 2
Shen Yue spoke calmly. When Mu Yuchen turned to look at him, he could see a flash of distant composure in those aged eyes from someone who had gone through the hardships of life. Perhaps, only someone like Shen Yue, who had gone through a lot, could be in such a state of mind.
The years had helped him settle down, however. Right now, he was old…
It was at this moment that Mu Yuchen suddenly understood why Xi Xiaye held onto this grandpa of hers and even felt admiration for him. It was because this old man was worth respecting and learning from.
“Yes, Grandpa.”
Even a man like Mu Yuchen was in admiration of Shen Yue.
“You’ve always done very well, Ah Chen. I already said from long before that I wouldn’t have judged wrongly. It’s Xiaye’s luck to have married you.”
“No, Grandpa, it’s my honor. She may or may not be the best, but she’s the best for me.” Mu Yuchen’s tone was filled with sincerity as he lowered his gaze and looked silently at the teacup in his hand. He stroked it slightly, thought about it, then continued, “She’s the only person I truly want to care for after all these years. When I was younger, I remember my grandfather talking to me and my father once. They’d told me then that to be a smart and resolute person I can’t rely on luck but focus on being steadfast instead. Relationships are like that. I didn’t know whether they were right or wrong back then, but I can’t deny that these words did influence me.”
“So, are you trying to say that my girl Xiaye can give you that grounded feeling?” Shen Yue laughed.
It was actually quite a wonderful feeling. The fact that a grandfather and grandson could sit down together so calmly to talk about such topics was a wonder, and at this moment, they were doing exactly that.
