Chapter 197 - Do I like You? (1/2)
”So please, can you wait for me?”
Xiong Zhi turned serious too. She was prepared to wait for him. She was a mature twenty-three years old inside. She knew they were too young to focus on love. They were still many things in their way. To truly have a good ending, they need to smoothen their paths and took care of the hindrances. Xiong Zhi understood it.
She smiled sincerely. She had never been this happy before. Linfeng finally considered her to the future he wanted to take.
”Of course. I already planned to wait for you after all.”
Thump.
Thump.
Two hearts were beating loudly and strongly. It was unlike the hearts in the past were both of them were waning and dying.
Xiong Zhi gripped on Linfeng's hand tighter.
'I already promised to myself that I will never let go of this hand. '
Linfeng gripped her hand too.
'I should not let her wait for long. She will..understand it.'
Linfeng was more confident to the path that he would take.
The sun arrives as the sleep finally kicked in towards the two.
********
However, as the two talked their hearts out, in different places, discussion about their desires were brought out too.
After the play, Lu Yin Ze went directly to Lu Mansion with Master Lu. Of course, on the way, all kinds of praises were said by Master Lu.
On the car,
”I know my grandson is multi-talented. If you want to enter Hollywood I can support you.” Master Lu once again brought out this offer to Lu Yin Ze.
Lu Yin Ze just smiled to his grandfather.
”I am not really cut out for acting. I will just study business and help to grow the Lu Empire.”
Master Lu happily patted Lu Yin Ze's shoulder.
”My grandson had grown up. In any case, I'm still alive. Do what you want while I can still manage the Lu empire. I will wholeheartedly support you.”
Lu Yin Ze looked at his grandfather with gratitude.
”Thank you, grandfather. ”
Then he added.
”You are spoiling me too much. I might turn to a spoiled brat.” He joked.
Master Lu just waved.
”That's what I'm doing. I am spoiling my grandchild who I did not pamper for eight years. So, child, anything you want would be given to you by this grandad of yours. ”
Lu Yin Ze looked gratefully at his grandfather. He really felt loved when he was with Master Lu.
”Is there anything you want?” Master Lu probed.
Lu Yin Ze pretended he was thinking.
”Hmm..there is maybe.”
”Oh. What is it?” Master Lu was like I child waiting for an answer to his mystery.
Lu Yin Ze smiled.
”You can guess it grandpa.”
”Oh? We are playing games now?”
Lu Yin Ze smiled.
”Hmm. A villa?”
”We have many villas grandpa.”
”Hmm. A business?”
”I have still the Lu Empire to study and manage. I can't do any business now.”
”Then, a toy? A very expensive one?” Master Lu wasn't really sure.
Lu Yin Ze laughed.
”I'm not into toys.”
”Hmm. It's a bit hard. You don't have any hobbies. Oh! Reading! Do you want to have a face-to-face meeting with your favorite authors?”
Lu Yin Ze shook his head.
”Nope. I only read because I don't have a choice.”
Master Lu suddenly realized something.
Lu Yin Ze had been locked up for eight years. He had nothing to do in that four walls but just to recover and to pass time.
He don't have any habits. His only wish was to be freed from that place. Master Lu desires to spoil Lu Yin Ze got stronger.
”Then child, tell me what you want. I am getting older so my ideas had died out.”
Lu Yin Ze smiled at Master Lu.
”Actually, I have so many things I want. But now I only want those I treasure and those who treasure me to be happy. We have been blessed to live in such a place with no war after all.”
Lu Yin Ze had been affected a lot by the play. Especially he had been playing as Ethan. He came to understand Ethan's thoughts and feelings. Those huge responsibilities on Ethan's back suffocated Ethan. He had done such a decision that he regretted until he died. It was tragic. Lu Yin Ze had a thought that he would continue to treasure those around him that took care of him and loved him.
”Grandpa, I wish to visit mom.” Lu Yin Ze's eyes were determined.
Master Lu was stunned.
He had never pressed Lu Yin Ze to visit his daughter's grave. As he was afraid that Lu Yin Ze would be pained.
Since the day his daughter died, the two grandsons of his never visits her once.
This put a lot of ache in Master Lu's heart. Because he knew that his daughter would like to see her children.
Master Lu observed Lu Yin Ze intently. He was not shaking or crying. He was stable.
”Alright. Whenever your ready, tell me.” Master Lu consented.
