"You don’t need to take care of him, you should stay in Nan’an for a few more days and develop your relationship," Old Mr. Lin said with a mysterious smile, "I’ve heard that Xingfeng has earned more merits again this time, and his position will be promoted soon. You should seize the opportunity."
"Seize what? The position? Grandpa, I successfully completed my mission this time and have already been promoted. Don’t worry."
Lin Ruonan said indifferently.
"Hey, you child. Haven’t you liked that boy from the Mu family since you were young? I often saw you running after him, and how come you feel embarrassed now that you’re grown up?" Old Mr. Lin laughed.
"There were hardly any girls of the same age in the courtyard when we were little. Junyang followed Mu Xingfeng around, and I had no choice. Didn’t you all say I, as a sister, should take care of my younger brother?"
"Alright, alright, you don’t need so many excuses. You can’t hide your little thoughts from others, let alone grandpa. Don’t worry, grandpa won’t laugh at you, grandpa will help you. Besides, with my granddaughter’s qualities, only that boy from the Mu family is a good match for you.
Ruonan, grandpa isn’t criticizing you, but you can take it easy with the guard team’s matters; accomplishments can come gradually. Why does a girl need such high achievements? You should pay more attention to Xingfeng. Men, they like gentle girls.
But this is grandpa’s fault too. When you were little, I saw your physique was better than Junyang’s, so I raised you as a boy. Even after you joined the army, I was strict with you. Of course, that’s also because you were more promising than Junyang. But now, grandpa regrets it. Grandpa just wants to see you happy." Old Mr. Lin’s words became quite emotional towards the end.
Lin Ruonan felt uncomfortable hearing this and replied, "I understand, grandpa. I’ll go upstairs to rest first."
"Alright, go ahead. Remember to come down for dinner later." Old Mr. Lin said, watching Lin Ruonan’s back.
Living to his age, what couldn’t he see through? Lin Ruonan might still be indifferent on the surface, but the dim look in her eyes when mentioning Mu Xingfeng didn’t escape Old Mr. Lin’s notice.
His granddaughter is strong-willed, never admitting she likes Mu Xingfeng, but as her grandpa, he sees it clearly. And Mu Xingfeng, he also thought highly of him; he would be delighted to have him as a grandson-in-law.
Old Mr. Lin thought for a moment, then picked up the phone to call Lin Junyang.
Once the call connected, Old Mr. Lin immediately started reprimanding, "Junyang, what’s wrong with you? Your sister went to Nan’an, yet she returned after just one day? She’s a girl, traveled all that way by plane to see you guys, and you didn’t take her out to have fun? Do you still consider her your sister? Do you care about your family at all?"
Lin Junyang didn’t dare to interrupt while being scolded. After Old Mr. Lin finished, he replied aggrievedly, "Grandpa, I wanted to take my sister out and have fun, but today I went to the hotel to pick her up, and she had already checked out and left without even telling me."
"What? She came back secretly? Tell me, did you or that Mu boy do something to make her angry or upset? Which one of you?" Hearing this, Old Mr. Lin immediately knew something was wrong. His granddaughter was very principled in doing things; how could she leave without saying goodbye?
"I don’t think anything happened." Lin Junyang thought for a moment and decided to tell Old Mr. Lin about what happened at the cafe yesterday, emphasizing that An Ran was Mu Xingfeng’s savior.
