Chapter 763 Back to square one (1/2)

Feeling proud of himself, Grandfather Ji stuck out his chest a little with his head held high. He was extremely satisfied that he was able to make Lu Tian admit something.

However, thinking back to the lad's words regarding his granddaughter, he heaves a long sigh like a deflating balloon.

”I also hope that Ah Ling will speak her mind.”

A bittersweet smile curls on his lip and he thought about the past.

”She can be quite direct about some things, but during the other times, she is too patient and tends to bottle up her true feelings.”

Lu Tian didn't want to admit it, but he has to agree with the old man again. His time with his wife has made him come to understand her personality better.

If she wants to speak her mind, she will do so. However, if she doesn't want anyone to know what she is thinking or feeling, she will make sure that nothing slips.

There are times when even he can't read her mind as much as she to him.

Thinking this, he comes to a decision and tells the old man.

”I will ask her about how she feels when she comes home.”

Grandfather Ji pause in his steps as he and Lu Tian walked back to the hospital. He turns to glance at the young man then places a hand on his (Lu Tian) shoulder.

”Talk to her, let her know that the wedding is yours and hers. However you both want it to be like, you have my full support.”

He lowers his head and gives Lu Tian a meaningful smile.

”Remember, I am Ah Ling's grandfather, but I am also an elder to you. If there is anything troubling you, I'm all ears.”

His words fell before he bids Lu Tian goodbye and walk to the door to enter the hospital. He still wanted to talk more, but seeing the sun above was already high, it was time to take his medication.

Lu Tian stood in place without following after the old man. He waited until Grandfather Ji's figure was no longer in sight then head towards the hospital parking lot.

As he leaves Imperial Military Hospital, the woman he was worried about was in a distraught situation.

In the short time that Yue Ling had arrived at Ages of Love, she had already tried on half of the dresses picked out for her.

Most of the dresses were only tried on for no more than 2 minutes. Even she didn't have the chance to look in the mirror or even decide if the dress is the one for her.

Now, she was standing blankly in front of the mirror and her expression turned into one of a lifeless doll.

The dress on her at this moment was a dress designed for a bold bride.

It features a deep sweetheart neckline that is held over the shoulders by thin straps and allowing her back to come into view. The skirt had cascading ruffles that fall elegantly with floral sparkles making any bride look like a vision. The bodice of the dress was traced with Chantilly laces and horsehair trim at the hem of the train.

This dress was designed to be one of a kind. Its beauty can make any groom fall in love all over again when seeing the bride.

However, staring at her reflection wearing the dress, Yue Ling felt otherwise.

Like all the other dresses she was able to see herself try on, she felt it wasn't the right one.

”Oh, my, would look at this. Ah Ling, you are truly a masterpiece in this dress. I almost mistook you for an angel in a painting.”

Madam Lu's eyes beam with glistening joy as she clasps her palms together. She felt like a proud mother as the dress was one of the many dresses she had picked out.

She walks over to Yue Ling and sighs with a smile. The second she saw the dress she knew it was the perfect match for her daughter-in-law.

”If Tian was here, he would fall in love with you all over again.”

Yue Ling wanted to say something, but seeing Madam Lu's joyous expression, she couldn't bring herself to say what was on her mind. She didn't want to hurt the woman's feelings.

Unlike her, Zhao Ya'Er, Madam Zhao, and Yang Yang were glaring at Madam Lu with envy. They hate to admit it, but the dress she (Madam Lu) had picked was better than the one they chose.

The dress stood out more than all the other ones and it enhances the beauty of Yue Ling. It was as if this dress was made for her.

”D-Does it really looks okay?”
