While waiting for tea, he furrowed his brows and lightly smiled, "To repay her father's kindness, she married another man, but unexpectedly became my woman. She once had a crescent moon in her heart, but that moon only shone on the gutter."
The old man raised his eyes to look at his thoughtful grandson across from him. It seemed he had never seen him so troubled over anything before. With surprise, he calmly asked, "She's a married woman, and one who doesn't like you?"
Picking up the teapot, Mu Tongzi poured two cups of tea and handed one to the old man across the table, casually saying, "It just requires a bit of time. In the end, everything will be fine."
He only needed some time to handle their relationship and to give her time to sort out her feelings and her troubled marriage.
"I thought it was some kind of woman that made you indecisive. I never expected... that there would still be something you couldn't have from childhood to now."
"As long as I want it, there's nothing I can't have."
Seeing his stubbornness, the old man chuckled lightly and raised an eyebrow, "Is that so? You're so stubborn; is it because she doesn't like you that you're unwilling to give up and will go to any lengths to get her?"
"Do you think I'm such an irrational person, Grandpa?" He lifted his teacup and took a light sip; the fragrant tea danced on his tongue, leaving a lingering sweetness.
The moment of heart fluttering may last only a few seconds, but the aftertaste can continue indefinitely.
Sometimes, the origins of feelings are completely irrational; thus, his persistence and stubbornness stemmed from his heart.
"Grandpa knows you always act with discretion. Just go ahead and do what you want. Moreover, your decisions cannot be changed by anyone; it's just that your mother and Yue Qingchen need a reasonable explanation from you."
"Thank you, Grandpa!" The old man's response undoubtedly signified his approval of his approach. With his support and understanding, everything that followed would not be difficult.
"Thank you for what? Our Mu Family values righteousness, but we cannot ask you to sacrifice a lifetime of happiness just to repay a favor. A wife is meant to be with you for life; if she is not the one you truly love, then that life will be long and painful. Grandpa is not an old fossil; he has been through this himself. I understand the definition of love better than you do. Forcing Yue Qingchen onto you was our wishful thinking as elders. Grandpa hopes you can be happy, and that is more important than anything else."
"Yes, I understand." He nodded, lowering his gaze to the steam rising from the teacup, intricately blending into the air, just like the defenses in his heart gradually dissipating.
"When will you bring her back to show Grandpa?"
He was quite curious about what kind of woman could capture his usually mature, steady, calm, and self-controlled Precious Grandson.
"I'll bring her back to see you once I sort out our relationship. After all, she is still married, and everything is complicated. Even if I am justified, it won't help."
The old man took a sip from his teacup and chuckled lightly. "Life is just like this tea!"
"First bitter, then sweet; I understand this principle." The old man had deeper meanings in his words, and he was not oblivious.
"You chose the tea yourself; how it tastes is something you know. Grandpa is getting old; grandchildren have their own fortunes!"
"......"
At the door of the study, half ajar, Yue Qingchen stood rigidly, every word of the conversation between grandfather and grandson echoing in her ears. The hand gripping the doorknob turned pale from exertion, and her originally beautiful face twisted in anger and distortion.
