Chapter 622 Happy to hear (1/2)

The sun gradually position itself high in the sky as Imperial Military Hospital stood its ground. While patients enter the building, Lu Tian slowly exits.

The cold aura that usually surrounds him was no longer there making him look like an immortal who was lost in the mundane world. His steps were small as he walks in the direction of his car.

However, when he was only 3 steps away from the door to the driver side, he stops.

He doesn't remember how he left the private ward Grandfather Ji was in, nor does he even try. His mind at this moment was filled with millions of thoughts before he tilt his head back to look up at the clear the sky.

Five years…

Grandfather Ji has been keeping his health condition hidden from everyone for that long. The same Grandfather Ji who isn't a stranger but the elder he (Lu Tian) respects and sees as his own blood related grandfather.

Even he (Lu Tian) could not believe it when he saw the old man in the hospital. If it weren't for that one phone call, he would have thought the old man was still in good health.

The image of Grandfather Ji sitting on the hospital bed floated inside his mind and a faint smile full of affliction curls on his lip.

His eyes stares up at the sky like he was searching for an answer.

He knows that the old man is growing older by day, but he came to realize how much Grandfather Ji has aged.

His eyes slowly close and he inhales the air that lingered in front of him. Ever since he became the CEO of Lu Corps, he has dealt with many difficult situations, but never one like this.

He doesn't want to hide anything from his wife, but he already gave his word to Grandfather Ji. What should he do now?

”Mr. Lu!”

A voice calls out from behind and interrupts Lu Tian's thoughts. He opens his eyes and lower his head away from the sky. As he turns around to the person, the coldness that disappeared quickly returns like a cape covering his body.

His entire demeanor changed back to his usual self like he was never lost in his own thoughts.

”You don't have to address me in a formal way.”

His words fell as he looks at Ji Jingxu, who was now standing no more than five feet away from him.

”Lu Tian is fine.”

Ji Jingxu had only stopped walking when he heard the aloof man's words. He swore it felt like someone had pulled an invisible rope and he happened to be the unlucky person who fell for the trap. He quickly steadies himself from stumbling forward and looks at Lu Tian.

His eyes were unblinking like was trying to read the man. He has met Lu Tian a few times, but each time he saw the man, he could never tell if he (Lu Tian) was being serious or just messing around.

However, the longer he tries to read Lu Tian, he couldn't help but feel his own cheeks burn.

Now he can see why so many women are infatuated with the man. Lu Tian is known to be a coldblooded man, but he still has an appearance that can make both men and woman blush.

He clears his throat and quickly raise his hand to brush the tip of his nose to rid of his fluster face.

”Ahem. I'm sorry for stopping you so suddenly. I wanted to ask how jie is doing.”

Lu Tian showed no reaction, but he found the boy interesting. Everyone in Imperial knows that Ji Jingxu is adopted with no bloood tied to the Ji family, but if one did not know, they would clearly think he (Ji Jingxu) is the splitting image of Grandfather Ji.

However, thinking back to Ji Jingxu's words, he couldn't help but miss his wife.
