Chapter 940 He Loves You No Less Than Me
Last birthday party?
Shen Pianpian was stunned for a moment, then turned his gaze to the tombstone behind him and fell silent.
My grandfather’s last birthday party was my mother’s funeral.
The girl lowered her head, looking a little depressed.
"No wonder I don't remember it."
She spoke vaguely, her chin resting on her knees, her hair drooping down to cover the side of her face.
"Have I spoken to him?"
The girl asked vaguely.
"Probably not,"
The old man's voice was very faint. If Shen Pianpian listened carefully, he should be able to notice that Huo Chengde's tone at this moment was abnormally cold.
His gaze into the distance was also very indifferent, without any emotion.
It was as if he had penetrated time and saw that lively yet silent black birthday many years ago, and saw certain scenes that he always avoided recalling.
"I don't recall."
The girl uttered a muffled "oh" and then fell into deeper confusion than ever before.
They hadn't even spoken to each other... She had once thought that they might have met before but she had simply forgotten. But now, after hearing what her grandfather said, it seemed that they had never gotten along or even met...
In Xia Yunduan's memory, the memory of Cheng Zhiyuan has always been just a legend. He was the first major general of the empire, a man standing at the top of the pyramid that others could hardly match. Before her death, she had heard that Cheng Zhiyuan was about to become the youngest military leader in the history of the empire.
But all this stopped after her death.
By the time they met again, he had already retired from the military and officially took over the Cheng family as a businessman. The power and glory that were within his grasp seemed like fleeting clouds, and he gave them up without hesitation.
And all this is said to be because of her.
The girl lowered her head and touched the words on the tablet that were related to her, then raised her head and asked Huo Chengde,
"Grandpa, do you know how Cheng Zhiyuan's parents died?"
The old man was slightly startled, and then he saw the girl shook her head violently, and said to herself,
"No, no, I said I would wait for him to tell me in person..."
Huo Chengde smiled and said,
"yes,"
He reached out and touched the girl's soft hair.
"This kind of thing really requires him to tell you himself."
"Dancing gracefully,"
There was a slight sigh in the old man's voice, a little relieved and a little emotional.
"When he first proposed marriage, I was a little worried and even suspected he had ulterior motives. But over the years, Cheng Zhiyuan has never been around another woman. Shortly after you left, news of his retirement spread. Until now, when he met you again, he even recognized and believed in you earlier than Grandpa did."
“This is actually quite incredible, you know?”
The girl stared blankly into the old man's eyes. His gaze was gentle and generous, wrapping her up tenderly.
"How amazing! Without our little Yunduan even knowing about it, this man has been silently watching you, liking you, and deciding on you for over a decade. From a teenager to a young adult, and then to becoming the so-called "Young Master of the Imperial Capital," a man standing at the top of the pyramid, he hasn't even had a single scandal."
"He likes you."
"In fact, after losing you and getting you back, Grandpa doesn't want to hand you over to anyone."
The old man smiled.
"But Cheng Zhiyuan, this kid, makes me helpless, because he loves you no less than grandpa does."
