Chapter 207
"So, you all think I'm that kind of person?"
Chi Xin felt a bit guilty, "No, no, this... this isn't my girlfriend, it's Yan's. You should ask Yan for the details."
Chi Bai: "I will ask for the details, but right now I'm asking why you all knew about this and kept it from me."
Chi Xin: "Well... this is Yan's private matter, what can I, as an uncle, say about it? Ouch!" Chi Xin was struck with a stick again.
"Dad, why don't we have Yan come back tomorrow? Let him explain to you." freēwebnovel.com
Chi Bai fondled the stick in his hand, "So when did he get a girlfriend?"
Chi Xin: "It seems like it's been quite a while, at least a year or two."
"That long? You mentioned earlier that Ming Wu Master said they were a match made in heaven? How did they meet?" Chi Bai was still curious. He knew what his grandson was like, so he wondered what kind of girl had managed to captivate him.
Chi Xin didn't know how they met either, since when Chi Yan introduced her, they seemed to have been dating for a while already. "I'm not sure how they met, but Yan's girlfriend is a bit special."
"Oh? How so?" Chi Bai was intrigued.
Chi Xin chose his words carefully: "She's a bit like those masters... you know, special like Ming Wu Master."
Chi Bai frowned: "Is she a young nun?" Can young nuns even get married?
"Cough cough!" Chi Xin almost choked on his saliva. "No, what I mean is that the young lady seems to be able to foresee future events, and she has some abilities that ordinary people don't have."
"Oh? Well, I'd like to meet her. What does she look like?"
"She's quite a pretty girl, very polite. Oh, and I think she's currently a student at A University, with very good grades."
Chi Bai nodded, "That sounds pretty good." It seemed she wasn't the type to be vain, though even if she was, it wouldn't matter much since the Chi family was wealthy. As long as she wasn't malicious at heart, it would be fine. After all, one should marry a virtuous wife, and the partner of the future heir of the Chi family should at least not bring disaster to the family.
...
Meanwhile, Chi Yan was unaware that his grandfather already knew about the situation. He was discussing tomorrow's plans with Chu Yang. He didn't have to work tomorrow, so he could take her out, and they could stay up late tonight.
"Shall we go mountain climbing? Want to?" Chi Yan was searching for famous scenic spots in Jing City, considering which mountain would be best to climb.
"Sure, whatever you arrange is fine."
"Alright." Chi Yan searched for a while and finally decided, "Let's go to the Moon God Temple tomorrow, it's on Phoenix Mountain."
Chu Yang turned to look at him, "Moon God Temple?" ƒreewebɳovel.com
Chi Yan nodded: "Yeah. I heard it's very efficacious, we can go and pray there."
Chu Yang was indifferent, "Okay."
That night, lying in bed, Chi Yan inhaled the faint fragrance emanating from the person in his arms. They used the same shower gel, so why did Yang Yang smell so good? He couldn't smell it on himself at all.
During the time Chu Yang was away, he had several dreams at night. In those dreams, Chu Yang wasn't there, or at least not the current Chu Yang. The feeling of emptiness when he woke up from those dreams was too painful. Now that she was back, he finally felt at ease.
He hadn't told Chu Yang about any of this, after all, they were just dreams.
He had a dream once when he first lost his memory, and that dream felt particularly real. They say that what one thinks about during the day, one dreams about at night, but he hadn't been thinking about anything during the day, so he didn't know why he would have such dreams.
That's why he thought about going to pray together. He heard that the Moon God Temple also had a Three Lives Stone. When they went to pray together, thinking about three lives and three worlds made him feel happy.
Chi Yan planted a heavy kiss on the cheek of the person in his arms, causing Chu Yang's face to quickly turn red. Chu Yang drowsily swatted at him, "What are you doing in the middle of the night? Go to sleep."
Chi Yan kissed her heavily again, "I just wanted to kiss you. Alright, I'll go to sleep right away, I won't disturb you."
After saying this, Chi Yan held the person in his arms tightly and closed his eyes to sleep.
The next day, they got up around 8 AM.
After preparing everything, they drove towards Phoenix Mountain. The weather was nice today, and although it was still very cold, they were dressed warmly, so it was fine.
Not long after they started driving, Chi Yan received a call from Chi Xin.
"Uncle, good morning. What's up?"
"I'm planning to go mountain climbing with Yang Yang. Yeah, we're climbing Phoenix Mountain."
"What?" Chi Yan looked at Chu Yang, who was puzzled and silently asked, "What's wrong?"
"Oh, okay, I'll come back in the evening. Mm-hmm. Alright, please tell grandfather for me."
After hanging up the phone, Chi Yan said, "Uncle said grandfather saw us yesterday. Grandfather found out I have a girlfriend, and everyone in the family knew except him, so he's upset. He wants me to go back tonight to explain."
Chu Yang nodded, "It's fine. You can go back after we finish climbing the mountain."
"Mm-hmm." Chi Yan explained, "Actually, I've never tried to hide it. Was I supposed to go directly to grandfather and say, 'Grandfather, I have a girlfriend, I'll bring her back for you to check out?'"
This comment made Chu Yang laugh, "That does sound stupid when you think about it."
Chi Yan continued, "Don't worry, grandfather is actually very open-minded. Look at my father, uncle, and other uncles - none of them took over his business, but grandfather didn't force them to."
Chu Yang looked at him, "So since no one else took over, it had to be you?"
Chi Yan nodded: "Yeah. My brother doesn't want to do business either, so in the end, it had to be me. That's why grandfather is more concerned about my development, and he might be more picky about my future partner. But don't worry, everyone in the family who knows you is quite satisfied with you, I'm sure grandfather will like you too."
Chu Yang wasn't really worried, "Mm. Anyway, if anything happens, it's your problem." Things like being separated and enduring a bitter love story definitely wouldn't happen to her. She wasn't the type who couldn't live without love.
Chi Yan reached out to hold her hand tightly, "Mm-hmm. I'll take care of all the obstacles."
Chu Yang swatted his hand away, "Focus on driving!"
"Oh, okay."
An hour later, they arrived at Phoenix Mountain. They parked the car at the foot of the mountain, bought tickets to enter, and then began to leisurely climb the mountain.
They had come here to relax, so the two of them strolled leisurely. When tired, they rested on benches along the mountainside. Today's sunlight wasn't too intense, casting a warm glow on their bodies.
Occasionally, they encountered other people on the path. They came across an elderly couple, holding hands tightly as they slowly climbed the mountain. At one point, the old couple even took out their phone for a selfie. Looking at the photo on their phone, the elderly pair exchanged smiles before continuing their slow ascent.
Chi Yan watched them with envy and whispered in Chu Yang's ear, "I hope we'll be like them when we're old."
Chu Yang squeezed his hand and replied, "We're already like them now."
Chi Yan smiled, swinging their clasped hands, "You're right."
