The black Phantom drove out of the airport and headed directly for the outer ring road at a high price. The old man was old and liked quietness, so he no longer lived in the house in the compound and moved back to the old house on the hillside of Panlong Mountain in the suburbs to spend his twilight years.

As soon as the car arrived at the foot of the mountain, Lu Anning saw from afar the brightly lit villas on the mountainside, which formed the shape of the Big Dipper, like a paradise on earth, and was breathtakingly beautiful.

The car went up along the winding mountain road and stopped in front of the main building of the center. At the entrance of the courtyard, the three characters "Wolongju" written in a flamboyant style on the stone tablet were majestic.

The black-gold gate opened, revealing a completely different scene within the high-walled courtyard. The entire building was dominated by white jade, and the auspicious clouds and golden dragons carved into the walls were lifelike. Within the courtyard, there were mountain streams and ponds filled with koi of various species.

Lu An Ning once thought that the Pei family's old house in Jiangcheng was already grand enough. When she came to the Tang family, she found that the old house in front of her could no longer be simply described as grand. When she stepped into it, Lu An Ning almost thought she had stepped into a fairyland. Although it was in the human world, it was better than a jade palace.

The servants were busy preparing dinner in the house. As Lu Anning walked in, he was amazed by the many plants that he couldn't name but were extremely beautiful. Tang Lianfeng introduced them along the way, saying that these were the old man's favorites.

Entering the main hall, he immediately noticed two eye-catching pots of orchids, beautifully maintained, placed on a hollowed-out golden nanmu shelf. Next to them were a variety of brightly colored teacups and utensils, many of which Lu Anning couldn't even name. The most eye-catching item, however, was the ancient sword placed in the center.

Tang Lianfeng smiled quietly and said, "That's the old man's most precious thing. I won't even let him take a second look at it. How stingy of me."

As soon as the words fell, a deep and majestic laugh came from the inner hall: "Second Brother, what are you saying about me behind my back again?"

Tang Lianfeng clicked his tongue and said, "Look! Even at such an old age, he still has such a sharp ear. I can't say a word."

He walked in and said with a playful smile, "This is An Ning's first time coming to our house. Shouldn't I calm her down first so she doesn't get scared when she sees you?"

The old man snorted, put down his pen, and looked towards the door. Lu An Ning and Tang Jingyuan just happened to walk into the room side by side. Their eyes met, and the living room suddenly became quiet.

Old Master Tang pursed his lips tightly, his sharp eyes falling on Lu An Ning, like a black panther waking up in the dark night, with an imposing aura.

Lu Anning met the old man's gaze with neither arrogance nor servility, and his expression was frank.

The old man not far away was wearing a black Tang suit with dark patterns. He looked energetic and didn't look like he was already ninety years old. This made Lu An Ning think of a word: old but strong.

As Mr. Tang looked at Lu Anning, Lu Anning was also looking at him. After a closer look, she discovered something strange: Tang Jingyuan resembled Tang Lianfeng, but his facial features and aura were more like Mr. Tang's. His fierce and arrogant demeanor shone with a murderous and decisive aura, giving people the feeling of looking down on the world.

Is this what is called, skipping generations?

Tang Jingyuan stepped forward and greeted him: "Grandpa! I brought An Ning back to see you."

The old man laughed: "You little brat, if I hadn't called you, when would you have come back? I thought you were so busy with your own things that you had forgotten about me, your grandfather. I even learned about such a big thing as your marriage from the third brother. You deserve a beating!"

"It's a long story."

"Then let's eat and talk. An Ning girl, right? You should call me 'Grandpa'. Later, tell me in detail whether this brat has bullied you. If so, I will make him suffer the consequences of the family punishment."

"Grandpa!"

"I don't want to hear you. An Ning, now that you're here, it's like being at home. Don't be restrained. I'm an old man who doesn't have so many rules. I just want to hear about the latest news from you young people. I hope you won't think I'm troublesome!"

Old Master Tang was surprisingly approachable, something Lu Anning hadn't expected. She'd thought she'd be put on trial, with the whole family watching and judging her, but upon entering the Tang family's house, she'd been greeted by a heartwarming scene.

A warmth surged in her heart, a warmth she had never experienced even in the Lu family.

At the dinner table, Lu Anning, a new arrival, had become the new favorite. Old Master Tang's loving face left Lu Anning unsure how to respond. She was perplexed by the mountain of delicious food before her. She was afraid she wouldn't be able to finish it all.

"An Ning, you're so thin, you need to eat more. Doesn't this guy let you eat enough? You need to take good care of yourself so you can prepare for pregnancy."

Lu Anning was sipping his soup when he heard the word. He choked and started coughing violently. Faced with the old man's kindness, he didn't know how to respond.

She subconsciously glanced at Tang Jingyuan and remembered the agreement she had made with him.

They had agreed that since they already had Tang Rui, they wouldn't have any more children. Sooner or later, the old man would have to know about this. Lu Anning looked up and met the old man's kind smile, swallowing his words back.

Seeing this, Tang Jingyuan smiled and said, "Grandpa, we are still young, there is no need to rush. Be careful not to scare An Ning if you do this."

"Right, right, right! At my age, I'm always looking forward to seeing some new life. No need to ask! Since you're here, stay at home for a while longer. You can always make enough money."

Tang Jingyuan responded: "Yes!"

Lu Anning glanced at Tang Jingyuan, lowered his head and continued eating, but he was wondering in his heart whether Tang Jingyuan would confess to the elders.

When a few people were enjoying their meal, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside, breaking the harmony in the restaurant.

Tang Qizon and his wife came in with several boxes. As soon as they entered the door, they handed the things to the housekeeper. Before they saw him, Lu Anning had already heard his voice and was startled.

"Dad, I'm a little late. The traffic was too congested! But Rongyin brought some delicious food today. Everyone will be in for a treat soon."

The couple walked into the restaurant with friendly smiles on their faces.

Beside Tang Qizong, a beautifully dressed lady smiled and glanced at Lu An Ning beside her. Without saying anything, she stepped forward and took Lu An Ning's hand with an earnest look on her face.

"This must be Jingyuan's wife! She's so pretty. Qizong mentioned you to me when he came back. You're such a nice girl. I liked you the moment I saw you. Jingyuan is so lucky! Dad, don't you agree?"
