"Grandpa didn't just hide this from you." Luo Zhenxian lowered his eyes with some guilt and told Xiang Zhilan about Ni Sitian's previous affairs.

Xiang Zhilan was alarmed. Seeing her anxiety, Luo Zhenxian immediately told her that Ni Sitian had returned to the Xu family.

Xiang Zhilan breathed a sigh of relief and then inquired about Luo Zhenxian and Ni Sitian's recent situation. Hearing that everything was fine, she felt at ease.

"It's good that nothing serious happened." As Luo Zhenxian told her so much today, Uncle De's words came to mind again. He probably said all this because he knew his time was running out.

"Did Ade tell you after all?" Luo Zhenxian could tell just by looking at Xiang Zhilan's expression. He had held a high position when he was young, so he naturally had a knack for understanding people's hearts.

Knowing he couldn't hide it from Xiang Zhilan, he nodded.

Luo Zhenxian smiled faintly and said, "I've lived long enough. I've gained everything and lost everything. With my life experiences, I can say I have no regrets. I'm just a little worried about you and the two children."

"Grandpa, don't talk about these things. Try not to think about them and get some rest. I'm still waiting for you to see Hengheng and the others go to school." Xiang Zhilan's nose tingled with emotion.

Luo Zhenxian shook his head slightly. It was obviously impossible. He would be lucky if he could hold on for a few more months.

“Actually, that kid A-Che is not bad. He even saved Xiao-Kui and seems to like you a lot... cough cough cough…” Luo Zhenxian coughed for a while, then patted Xiang Zhilan’s hand lightly and said, “Grandpa doesn’t want to force you. I just think that no matter who you are with, you should have a fresh start. If you don’t like A-Che, then find someone else.”

"I know." Xiang Zhilan understood what he meant, and grasped his hand in return, saying, "Don't worry about this, I know what I'm doing."

"Okay, Grandpa knows you're the most sensible one." Luo Zhenxian didn't say anything more. He wanted to believe that his granddaughter could live her best life.

Seeing that Luo Zhenxian was exhausted, Xiang Zhilan helped him lie down and sat quietly in the room with him for a while before leaving.

After walking a few steps on the corridor, I heard laughter and cheerful voices coming from the toy room.

Luo Che has arrived.

Xiang Zhilan slowed her pace, feeling a bit of a headache.

Luo Che's surname is Luo, but he has no kinship with Luo Zhenxian. He is the son of a subordinate whom Luo Zhenxian promoted in the past. That person is now in a high position, while Luo Che went on to teach abroad after studying overseas.

Speaking of Luo Che, his conditions are truly impeccable. He has such a family background, is an associate professor at a university, and is only just over thirty years old. He also has a particularly good personality, loves children, and Hengheng and Xiaokui both like him very much.

He had once saved Xiao Kui, and Xiang Zhilan felt grateful to him, but gratitude is not love.

Although Luo Che had expressed his affection for her several times, she still couldn't quite accept it.

Objectively speaking, Luo Che knows about her past and doesn't mind it, gets along well with the children, likes her a lot, has a gentle personality, and a sunny smile. No matter how you look at it, she should accept him.

Moreover, this type is the same type she used to like.

But now... my mindset is somewhat different from before.

What's bothering her most right now is that Luo Che formally proposed to her half a month ago. She refused on the spot, but he insisted on putting the ring in her hand, saying that he would give her an answer after she came back from her business trip.

He came here today probably to get an answer.

Grandpa was right; she should consider a new man and a new beginning.
