Hey Xu, how about I give you a wife?
Isn't this the same thing?
Li Changfeng was stunned, momentarily lost in thought, his mind blank.
Ye Zihan felt the same way. Was Grandpa really that direct? He just casually sent me away?
Couldn't we be a little more subtle, a little more tactful?
"What? You don't want to?" Old Master Ye glanced at him.
"It is my greatest blessing to marry Zihan. Who wouldn't burn incense for their ancestors overnight if they had such a wife?"
"Thank you for your kind words, sir."
“But…” Li Changfeng paused, looking troubled.
"Just what?"
"We still need Master's approval. In China, marriage is a major event that involves two families and requires the consent of both sets of elders."
"If Master has no objections, I will have no objections whatsoever," Li Changfeng assured him.
"That's true, I was too anxious," Grandpa Ye said understandingly. "Why don't you call your master and ask?"
"It's best to finalize this matter as soon as possible."
“Old man, you don’t know this, but my master now lives a very regular life. He goes to bed early and gets up early, and eats on time. He’s probably resting at this time.”
"I'll call him personally tomorrow and let him make the decision," Li Changfeng said.
The current attitude is yes.
Whether Li Changfeng can fight or not is another matter.
He's conflicted right now; he gets flustered when there are too many women around.
The eldest sister became his woman some time ago, and she went to the Shen family to meet the parents with Shen Qiqi. Now Ye Zihan has come along.
Three women make a drama, leaving Li Changfeng completely bewildered.
He hasn't considered marriage yet.
At the tender age of twenty, the thought alone is repulsive.
Passing the problem to your mentor is a good option.
"Alright, let's talk on the phone tomorrow." Old Master Ye wasn't in a hurry. You can't rush things, and you can't force people to do anything.
That's so unfair.
A fleeting hint of disappointment flashed in Ye Zihan's eyes.
"Changfeng, let's talk about something else."
"Please speak, sir."
How long until the March deadline?
Li Changfeng understood what the old man meant, and after calculating the days, said, "There are still half a month left."
Have you thought about what you'll do next?
"No."
"How about this? We can renew the contract after the past three months of missions, this time for a year," Grandpa Ye suggested.
"Of course, you won't lose out. It will still be calculated at the original price, which is four times the amount of three months' salary per year, and the salary will also be calculated at four times the amount."
"If you're not satisfied, we can talk again."
With Li Changfeng by his side, Old Master Ye felt at ease.
If Li Changfeng and his granddaughter get together, then they're not outsiders, so why should he feel sorry for them?
Neither side suffers a loss.
Furthermore, keeping Li Changfeng by his granddaughter's side would be more conducive to the development of their relationship.
The saying goes, "Those who are near the water get the moon first," and the same applies to men.
Old Master Ye's true intention was not what it seemed.
He knew very little about Li Changfeng, but he did know whose apprentice he was.
How could a disciple personally trained by that person be bad?
They are destined to be outstanding individuals, the pride of heaven.
His granddaughter marrying him was considered a step up for her.
The Ye family has nothing but some money; the word "marrying up" is by no means an exaggeration.
"Old man, to be honest, I really can't make this decision," Li Changfeng said embarrassedly.
“Since we came down the mountain, my master has been in complete control of the wind direction.”
"Including this trip to Jinghai to protect Ye Zihan, it was also facilitated by you and Master."
"As for where I'll go after this is over, and what my plans are, I don't know myself."
"You're not going to back out again, are you? I understand that marriage requires parental approval and blessings, but when it comes to work, are you going to listen to that old man too?" Old Master Ye asked suspiciously.
“You are an adult now, not a child. You can’t be without any opinions of your own.”
"Grandpa Ye, you may not know this, but I am an orphan, a child without fathers or mothers. I started following my master when I was ten years old. He raised me and his kindness to me is as heavy as a mountain, like a second parent to me."
"Without him, I wouldn't be who I am today."
Li Changfeng is grateful and always keeps it in mind.
He maintains the utmost respect for both the future and the present.
One must not forget one's roots, and even more so, one must not forget who gave them everything.
"So please forgive me, sir."
“My master is quite open-minded, so it might not be a problem for me to explain.”
By giving face, he demonstrated his respect for his teacher and left room for retreat.
Her emotional intelligence is off the charts.
"Alright, let's continue drinking." Old Master Ye didn't say anything more and picked up his wine glass.
"Come!"
The two drank until after 1 a.m.
Since it was too late, Grandpa Ye did not let Li Changfeng go back and let him stay overnight.
The villa is so big, it can easily accommodate one or two more people.
The room where Li Changfeng lived seemed to be Ye Zihan's when she was a child. The room was filled with a pleasant fragrance, revealing the girl's scent. The items placed there, their colors, and the overall arrangement all highlighted the girl's unique aura.
Ye Zihan sometimes comes back to stay, but not often.
When I come back, I'll stay here.
Li Changfeng lay on the soft, large bed, feeling extremely comfortable.
...
"Zihan, Li Changfeng is a good young man, you should seize the opportunity." Downstairs, Grandpa Ye held his granddaughter's hand and spoke earnestly.
"I just didn't expect him to be so slippery, harder to catch than an eel, and he resolutely refused to fall into the pit."
"I tested them twice, and both times I managed to defuse the situation."
"Grandpa, what's so good about him? Three-legged toads are hard to find in this world, but two-legged people are everywhere." Ye Zihan said insincerely, speaking ironically.
"Besides, I've never thought about getting married. I want to work hard for a few more years while I'm still young."
"What do you know? A girl's youth is limited, her prime is too short. If you don't pay attention and take initiative now, what happiness can you talk about when you're old and faded? You'll have your day to cry," Old Master Ye scolded.
"Granddaughter, are you confident you can win over Li Changfeng?"
"Grandpa..." Ye Zihan's face was flushed, even more so than the old man who had been drinking.
"Don't be shy, this is a path everyone must take," Grandpa Ye said solemnly.
"In my opinion, we should just go all the way and make it a fait accompli."
“As long as you two have the facts, I have a way to get his master to agree.”
"Grandpa, are you trying to force me into marrying Li Changfeng? Is this how you treat me? It's like I'm being forced into this situation, like I can't live without him." Ye Zihan glanced at him.
"Silly granddaughter, you don't understand the value of Li Changfeng. Such a man is extremely rare."
“I’m your grandfather. We don’t need to speak in riddles. I can tell whether you have feelings for Li Changfeng or not.”
"You're always indifferent to things you don't like, and you don't even want to look at them twice."
“You and Li Changfeng get along well right now, chatting and laughing, and at one point I could even feel your love for him.”
