Chapter 1443 - Zhong Rufeng Appears! (2/2)

“Seems like I’ve come at the wrong time!” Zhong Rufeng smiled cordially and appeared refined yet grounded and mature. He looked appropriately natural as well.

“You’re so busy and yet, you still took the time to visit Grampy. He’ll definitely be thrilled to know this.” Zhong Rufeng had always been admired by Old Mr. Mo, who had also given him plenty of teachings. They were truly a teacher-student pair.

Old Mr. Mo once complimented Zhong Rufeng for being humble, modest, gentle, refined, moral, heroic, kind and brave!

Zhong Rufeng was the only one who could still be so gentlemanly in such a superficial society!

“I’ve known you for so many years, but you’re still so formal with me,” Zhong Rufeng said calmly as if he was just stating a fact. However, there was a tinge of disappointment in his eyes.

Throughout the past few years, Wen Xinya got admitted to Capital University where she studied jewelry design, something that he completely did not understand. On the other hand, he delved into the political scene where he was busy working and learning. He and Wen Xinya gradually stopped meeting each other as often as before.

There was a period of time where he once felt dejected about it. After all, it had been plenty of years and he was no fool either. He knew that Wen Xinya had always just been treating him like a close friend and did not have any romantic feelings for him at all.

He had always been reserved and not one to pester others. Besides, he and Wen Xinya had known each other for years but had always had a cordial and platonic relationship. He also knew that it was difficult to push it further.

He had also once felt depressed and down because of it. However, as time passed and he got increasingly busy with work, he slowly began to put down his feelings for Wen Xinya, though he still liked her deep down.

“I don’t intend to stand on ceremony with you at all, I was just telling the truth. You’ve always been Grampy’s favorite person and he admires you so much that he treats you like his successor. You actually mean as much to him as I do.”

Due to the fact that the Zhong Family had always been close to the Mo Family, Zhong Rufeng was rather close to Old Mr. Mo too. Although Zhong Rufeng did not learn alongside Old Mr. Mo, the latter had been guiding him along throughout the years and hence, they shared a bond that no one could replace.

Zhong Rufeng smiled and said, “Others often praise their own children, but our grandfathers seem to praise other children instead.”

Whenever he thought about the bond between him and Old Mr. Mo, he would start thinking about the close relationship between Wen Xinya and Old Mr. Zhong.

Not only did Old Mr. Zhong give Wen Xinya plenty of guidance in calligraphy, he even shared his experiences with her because of how much he liked her.

He completely treated her like his own granddaughter.

Wen Xinya burst into laughter and said, “If Grandpa Zhong hears you, he’s going to call you a rascal again.”

Old Mr. Mo had always admired Zhong Rufeng for being refined and calm, but Old Mr. Zhong often chastised him for being too boring.

Zhong Rufeng smiled and changed the subject. “I saw a man coming out just now. Is he your boyfriend?”

Three years ago, Si Yiyan, who was said to be Old Mr. Mo’s best student, began appearing frequently and he began to guess that he was Wen Xinya’s boyfriend. It was also his first time seeing him in person.

Wen Xinya smiled and answered, “Yeah!”

Zhong Rufeng said smilingly with a tinge of dejection, “He’s very outstanding!”

He was honest and was just stating facts.

“Yeah, he is!” Wen Xinya exclaimed firmly.
