Chapter 20 - Adoption? (1/2)
Old master Li had been lonely these days. Ignored by his only grandson, no great-grandchildren to play with and even Ah Yan had forgotten him. He really wanted great-grandchildren. With his grandson's temperament, could he depend on the boy to give him small bun to hold? Should he just adopt one? That stiff little brat may be asexual. Would he ever have great-grandchildren? Of course, Ah Yan had been pregnant so it meant that his stupid grandson was not completely useless. Then he remembered that Li Yi Feng had been drugged. Old master Li felt devastated. Had the brat ever been interested in a girl? Beside Yu Yan, there seemed to never be any girls close to his age around him. Only those stupid pretty boys from Mu and Gu family. He would also occasionally spend time with that Wu boy? Hmm... How come all the men around him were good looking? Even Ke Ming was a looker. Old master Li was shocked. It could not be! There was no way that would be possible! He was overthinking. He desperately tried to change his thoughts, but it was impossible. His mind was screaming at him. Repeatedly. He was gay! His grandson was gay!
Old master Li felt crushed. His great-grandchildren! Ah! This was not fair!
He had become depressed these days. This did not go unnoticed by aunt Zhou. She became increasingly worried when she saw the old master constantly spacing out. Without knowing what else to do, she called Yu Yan. She had always been able to make the old man happy. The girl would know what to do.
Hearing the exaggerated tales from aunt Zhou, Yu Yan had been scared witless. In her past life, the old master had passed away about two years from now. Were things happening faster because of her? She hurriedly took a leave from work and rushed over to the Li mansion. Seeing him so down, she was surprised. They had not seen each other for only a month and things were like this?
”Grandpa, what's wrong? Don't be like this. Why don't we sit down and eat?” As she talked, Yu Yan held onto grandfather Li's hands.
The old man let out an audible sigh. Looking at her he defeatedly said his next sentence. ”Ah Yan, I don't think I would ever be blessed with great-grandchildren. If things go like this, the Li family line would end with me.”
Noticing his depressed mood, she consoled. ”Grandpa, that's not true. You would be able to hold a little great-grandson and great-granddaughter sooner or later.”
”Don't lie Ah Yan. Don't say things you don't believe.” True. Would a man like Li Yi Feng ever settle down? In her past life, even ten years after their divorce, he had not remarried. She did not know what to say at this point. ”That little b*****d, how could he do this to me!” Grandfather Li bellowed.
”Grandpa, calm down. No one could tell how the future would turn out,” she said.
”No, I can't depend on him! If only I had more grandchildren.” Suddenly grandfather Li looked up at Yu Yan. That was it, was this child not more like his own grandchild than that stupid iceberg. ”Ah Yan, you have to remarry. Forget that stupid boy. Grandpa will find you a better man.” She was shocked. how did things turn out like this? Why was everyone close to her pushing her to blind dates? ”Ah Yan, it couldn't be that you have no plans of remarriage, right?”
”Of course not. I already told you I would start anew. I'm still young and want to become a famous designer. Someday I will find someone to settle down with and start a family. I don't want to be alone for the rest of my life!”
Old master Li looked relieved. ”Ah Yan, you've always treated me as your grandfather and I've always seen you as my grandchild. Why not accept me as your grandfather? Let me adopt you!” Before she even replied, grandfather Li had made up his mind. ”Yes, now that your divorced nothing is hindering me from adopting you!”
