Chapter 163 - 160: Grandfather-I
Li Lian’s nerve calmed with the hand that firmly yet gently clasped with her fingers. She waited for the calls to go through and when a sound of click passed to her ears, her eyes beamed.
"Hello?" Breathing the one words off her lips she waited for her grandfather’s voice for it to come.
"Li... Rian?" a surprise was evident on the Old Master’s voice. He then broke to a wide smile and jerked off from the bed to repeat his words again gently, "Li Rian."
At first he doubted her voice thinking that it was perhaps only his thought because he missed his granddaughter too much but it wasn’t so, Li Lian did called him and he could barely contain his happiness. Kei who had passed the phone to the Old Master stood with his eyes widened in surprise from the name that was called by the Old Master.
"Grandfather." Li Lian called, her raven eyes glazed as the light beside her and Li Jun Wei reflected against her eyes. There were many things she had to say to her grandfather, her apologizes that she knew her grandfather would short say that it was fine and her grateful words for she knew he had done everything for her sake. But the words she could squeeze out from her heart was, "I missed you."
The Old Master chuckled, their heart was filled with warmth with the little words they had just said to greet each other. "I missed you to. Shun, Shin, and Kei we all miss you. Are you alright there?"
Li Lian intensely nodded even when the Old Master couldn’t see her face. "How are you too grandpa? Are you alright? Don’t work too much take rest in between too."
"Haha, you worry too much I am perfectly in health! I’m not some old man who would go and die that easily. You and Kei worry about me too much." replied the Old Master where Kei gave him a pointed look that he placed his one finger over his lips to warn him from talking tattling anything that he didn’t want Li Lian to hear.
"But you are old." Li Lian rebuked to giggle.
"I’m not old, I’m only seventy five year old."
"That what old is grandpa." replied Li Lian. "Is Kei there too?" she asked.
"Kei?" Kei smiled brightly at the thought that he would talk with Li Lian but his smile fell when he heard the Old Master’s next word. "He is already sleeping. You know his principle in life. don’t you? Sleep at nine wake up at five." The Old Master replied.
