"Ah Shu, strictly speaking, it's been several decades since we last met. You couldn't see me before, but now we're both old, with children and grandchildren. But in my heart, there's always been a regret. Back then, I was too dull and only focused on doing my research, so I missed you. God has given us fate, allowing us to meet again at such an old age."

"I want to tell you... that we can grow old together. That way, we can have someone to take care of you. What do you think?"

At the end of this sentence, he looked at Song Lingshu with some uneasiness, waiting for Song Lingshu's response.

Song Lingshu was stunned for a moment, looking at Pei Ji. He really didn't expect Pei Ji to say such a thing to him. He looked at Pei Ji and said, "We are old now. Aren't you afraid that others will laugh at you if you say such a thing now?"

"Who would laugh at this joke? We don't have much time left to live. We have to live for ourselves once in this life. At our age, I think we shouldn't have too many regrets."

Song Lingshu didn't say anything. As they were far away, Zhou Benyu couldn't hear what they were saying. But looking at that old boy Pei Ji standing so close to Song Lingshu, Zhou Benyu really wanted to go over and ask him what he wanted to do.

"Ah Shu, think about it carefully. I've been looking for you all these years, but I can't find you. The main reason is that I didn't expect you to live in seclusion in a small county like that and not work in a hospital. I've searched all the medical systems in the country, but I can't find your name."

Song Lingshu paused for a moment, not expecting that someone was still talking about her silently.

"Old Pei, at our age now, isn't it good like this?"

But Pei Ji obviously didn't think so, and said: "I mean to get married, no matter how many days are left, we can have each other's company."

Still getting married at this age?

Who are you trying to make laugh to death?

Song Lingshu asked, "Do you want everyone to laugh at us?"

"This is my lifelong wish." Pei Ji said, "Don't worry, I don't want your property."

"Is this a property issue?" Song Lingshu looked at Pei Ji.

Pei Ji's eyes were serious: "Would you consider me, or is it that even now, he still has a place in your heart?"

"No." Even if Song Lingshu liked dogs now, she would not like Zhou Benyu.

She and he just had common descendants. No matter how much she hated them, Zhou Benyu would always seek some benefits for his grandchildren.

We can’t give all of it to that woman Jia Lizhen.

"I've discussed this with my son, and he absolutely supports me getting married." As his words became increasingly outrageous, Song Lingshu paused and said, "Old Pei, please stop. Don't go on. No, what I'm telling you is true. I'm serious."

"Your so-called seriousness is no match for the fact that we are now at the age where we need to be buried in peace. It's really unnecessary."

"Yes, it is very necessary. After we get married, we can watch the sunrise and sunset together, talk and chat together."

At this age, he can no longer do anything, but being able to go out together with a legitimate reason is already good enough for him.

"Stop talking." Song Lingshu interrupted him.

"Ah Shu, believe me, when I found out you and Lao Zhou were together, I was secretly heartbroken for a long time and had no choice but to accept it. But now, I don't want to spend my whole life with such regret!"

Song Lingshu couldn't possibly consider this issue. She didn't remarry when she was young. Now she is old and about to be buried. Why should she get married at this time?

“I wouldn’t consider it,” she said.

"But..." Pei Ji suddenly reached out and held his hand.

"In this life, we must live for ourselves once, or we may go against the grain. No matter what, it is our own life."

Pei Ji tried to persuade Song Lingshu.

Song Lingshu shook her head.

At this time, Zhou Benyu came over and realized that something was wrong. He couldn't let Pei Ji pester Song Lingshu anymore. He asked, "What do you want to say?"

Pei Ji raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who are you to stand here and listen to us?"

Zhou Benyu was stunned for a moment by the question, but he quickly said, "You don't need to worry about my identity."

"Then you have no right to interfere with our conversation."

Zhou Benyu pursed his lips, feeling uneasy. He looked at Song Lingshu and said, "I can't watch my ex-wife being deceived."

"Come on, stop talking nonsense here. Your ex-wife was deceived, and you killed him. If it weren't for you, how could he have been so unlucky in his life? Now you're talking so high-soundingly, who are you trying to fool?"

"Old man Pei, don't think I don't know your dirty thoughts." Zhou Benyu clenched his fists.

Even though he is old, he still wants to protect Song Lingshu.

Pei Ji said it clearly: "I have expressed my thoughts clearly, how can it be considered dirty? I have said everything I need to say directly. He looked at Zhou Benyu sharply."

"What's your mentality? Are you saying that I have dirty thoughts? I clearly want to pursue Ah Shu."

Song Lingshu paused for a moment after hearing what he said, and stopped Pei Ji: "Say less."

Pei Ji nodded: "If you don't let me say it, I won't say it, but you should think carefully about what I just said to you."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. We are all old people. If we say something like this and it gets out, people will laugh at us."

"No," Pei Ji emphasized, "We have so much in common, so many similar interests and hobbies. We will have more time to study and communicate together in the future. This will also be helpful for the business we are about to establish and the things we will leave for our descendants. Don't you think this is a very meaningful thing?"

Apart from anything else, this sentence attracted Song Lingshu. The project they are currently researching can benefit future generations.

Pei Ji said, "I can ask a lawyer to witness your property. Your future will be left to your descendants, and my future will be shared by your descendants and my descendants. I have already told my sons all this, and they have no objection."

Song Lingshu was surprised that Pei Ji's son was so open-minded.

But at her age, everything she did felt strange: "Ashu, consider what I'm saying to you. There are some wishes that we've had since we were little."

Pei Ji is like this, once he sets his mind on something, he doesn't want to let it go.

"While we are still alive, still have strength, and can continue to enjoy life, Ah Shu, please consider my advice carefully."

Song Lingshu smiled slightly: "Don't mention it again in the future."

"But, Ah Shu..." He wanted to say something else, but Song Lingshu said, "Don't mention it anymore."

Tell this to others and they will laugh their heads off.

Pei Ji pursed his lips slightly, knowing that Song Lingshu would definitely not agree if he said it once. If it didn't work once, he would try to say it a few more times.

He said, "I will continue to talk until you agree."

"I won't agree, and you don't have to tell me again." Song Lingshu emphasized.
