In front of the study.

Mr. Li pushed the door open and opened the waiting room casually.

Then, he walked straight to the rattan chair behind the desk and sat down slowly.

Under the soft beige light.

Mr. Li's old face obviously felt more tired and haggard than before.

Like granddaughter.

He has been exhausted recently.

But the difference is that he is too old.

The body functions, as well as the heart, have already begun to age and function have also begun to degenerate.

Compared to my granddaughter, I can't withstand these ups and downs.

Lin Yu followed behind, entered the study room, and closed the door with his backhand.

He stood straight opposite the desk, no longer as lazy as he usually did.

But the expression is neither humble nor arrogant.

Mr. Li sat upright on the chair and looked at Lin Yu with his eyes.

The atmosphere in the room is quiet and depressing.

In that gaze, there was doubt, dissatisfaction and regret.

For a long time, neither of them had spoken.

Just like that, they looked at each other quietly.

"Lin Yu, do you know? I used to be very relieved to hand Xinyu over to you, but now, I regret it. I made a marriage contract with your grandfather without authorization."

Mr. Li said slowly, with a heavy annoyance in his voice.

"I understand, and I understand how you feel."

Lin Yu responded earnestly.

Indeed, he understood the other person's mood very well.

As a grandfather, how could he bear to watch his granddaughter be implicated innocently again and again?

"Whether you understand or not, I am very opposed to your marriage now."

Old Master Li sighed softly, with a little helplessness in his eyes.

If he could, he would have been unable to help but terminate the engagement.

However, the granddaughter just recognized this guy.

Even his grandfather could not force his granddaughter to break up with Lin Yu.

Alas, this is all destined.

The old man who firmly believes in fatalism can't help but sigh secretly.

"Lin Yu, do you remember what I said at the beginning?"

After asking a question, the old man did not wait for Lin Yu's answer.

Then he said to himself: "From the beginning, I told you that I don't ask you for how capable you are, nor do I ask for any glory and wealth. My only requirement is that I hope you two can live your life safely and happily."

"It's a pity that I took a look. Lin Yu, your ability is beyond my imagination and far beyond my expectations. If I had known this, I wouldn't have had any connection with Xinyu."

"But it's too late to say anything now. Xinyu is a girl I've watched as growing up little by little since I was a child. It can be said that no one in this world knows her better than me, including you."

Hearing this, Lin Yu nodded slightly.

He didn't try to justify anything, but just stood quietly and listened attentively.

"This girl has been stubborn since she was a child. To put it nicely, she is called perseverance. To put it bluntly, she means she doesn't look back without hitting the wall and is very stubborn."

"I understand that she likes you, and this is hard to change. Even if I rely on my seniority and can force her to break up with you, it will be useless, because this girl still has you in her heart."

Speaking of this, the old man paused for a moment.

His eyes were always looking at Lin Yu, observing the changes in the expression of this future grandson-in-law.

"I said so much, just to tell you that Xinyu has recognized you. I, a grandpa, will not interfere. In this world, she is my only relative, and I hope to see her happier than anyone else."

"However, all this is based on a necessary premise, that is, peace and safety are more important than anything else, and safety is sometimes more critical than the so-called happiness. Lin Yu, do you agree with my words?"

The old man stared at Lin Yu and waited for the answer.

"I agree, grandpa, I understand what you mean."

Lin Yu repeated the nodding movements, with an unusually serious expression.

"Grandpa, I don't want to deceive you with lies, but I can guarantee you that I will use my life to protect Xinyu in this life, do my best to ensure that she is not hurt."

This sentence is the truest promise Lin Yu can make.

After hearing this answer, the old man nodded with satisfaction.

From Lin Yu's tone and expression, he saw a lot of sincerity.

"Oh, today I had an idea to ask you to break up with Xinyu, but then I changed my mind. On the one hand, it was because Xinyu liked you so much. If you broke up, it would hurt this girl's heart."

Speaking of this, the old man's tone suddenly changed: "On the other hand, Lin Yu, I believe in your character, I believe in your feelings for Xinyu, and I hope you can prove with facts that Grandpa has not misjudged the person."

"The last thing must not be repeated again, and I will never allow Xinyu to be put in danger because of your relationship. As a man, the greatest incompetence of being unable to protect his woman."

"I remember!"

Lin Yu lowered his head and responded respectfully.

Nowadays, there are only the ones who can let him lower his posture and actively listen to his teachings.

In any aspect, the old man is qualified to teach him a lesson.

"Men must prove by actions, not by mouth. I will remember every word you say today for you. I hope you will not give me a chance to bring up old accounts in the future."

After saying this, Mr. Li sighed deeply.

Just as he was about to continue knocking on Lin Yu, suddenly, there were loud knocks in his ears.

Then, a sweet and pleasant voice sounded: "Grandpa, I made a pot of your favorite kung fu tea, and you always moisten your throat."

As he spoke, there was a creaking sound and the door was pushed open from outside.

I saw Li Xinyu holding the tea tray in her hand and entering.

After entering the door, she carefully looked at the faces of her grandfather and Lin Yu.

A hint of cunning flashed through his eyes like autumn water.

In the name of sending tea to my grandfather, he was actually preparing to rescue Lin Yu.

The old man naturally knew this little trick.

"Grandpa, this is the tea I just made. I used mountain spring water. I brewed it according to the steps you taught me before. You can taste it and see if it suits the taste."

As he spoke, the little girl gently placed the tea tray on the desk.

He used his delicate hands and poured a cup for his grandfather.

The tea soup has a mellow color and a faint fragrance.

With fair hands, he picked up the teacup and handed it to his grandfather.

In the big watery eyes, there was a trace of innocent plea.

Seeing this, Mr. Li could only give up the idea of ​​continuing to teach Lin Yu a lesson.

He sighed slightly, took the teacup, and sighed to himself: "You are a woman who is old but not a woman. You have to stay and make enemies. This old saying really makes sense."

"Grandpa, I just gave you a pot of tea, and I have no other idea."

Li Xinyu pouted and argued in a coquettish manner.

His clear eyes secretly glanced back.

This little move was fully visible to the old man.

He smiled slightly and jokingly said, "Girl, don't worry, I didn't do anything to him. I just said a few words and you can't help but break in."

These words made a bright red look on Li Xinyu's pretty face.

She hummed with embarrassment: "Grandpa, what are you saying? Why are you worried? I have told Lin Yu a long time ago that Grandpa is the most reasonable person in the world."

After saying that, she turned her head and stared at Lin Yu and asked, "Lin Yu, am I right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man couldn't help laughing and said, "As long as you wish, that's reasonable. If I say a few more words, I'm afraid I'll become an old stubborn person."

A bit of crampedness is mixed in the rippling smile.

Obviously, the old man had already seen through his granddaughter's thoughts.

Listening to grandpa’s teasing, Li Xinyu breathed a sigh of relief.
