Xue Lin froze. "What"s with this cheeky line?" She looked at him expressionlessly. "Grandpa, aren"t you being overdramatic?"

Su Fengfei shook his head slowly. "No, la.s.s, thank you for marrying that child. Please be with him for the rest of your life. Xiao Chen is a good kid. He"ll take good care of you."

Xue Lin nodded. "I think so too. He said that he would cook for me."

"…" Su Fengfei was speechless. "Grandson, did you bribe her with your cooking skill? I suddenly feel pity for you."

Xue Lin glanced at the fishing rod. "You haven"t caught a single fish."

Su Fengfei noticed it too. He said, "Ah! It"s because we were talking. Fishes became alert." Seeing that he couldn"t catch fish today, he put the fishing rod down next to him.

Xue Lin commented, "Even fishes are smarter these days."

Su Fengfei looked further away. "Yeah… this place is the last memory of Xiao Chen and me having fun together. Did he tell you that we dug this pond together?" He sounded distant.

Xue Lin looked surprised. "You did that! It must have been a hard job."

Su Fengfei nodded. "Yes, we did. Xiao Chen was a teenager. It was before he left with Xiao Guiren. He asked me for a pond. He wanted us to dig it together. It took us seven days to make it this big. Then we bought some fish and let them grow here. We caught fish together. After that, he left and he never asked anything from me. I"m being hated."

Xue Lin thought that he was hopeless. She said, "If he didn"t ask you, you could have asked him if he wanted something. He must have thought that he became a burden to you and that"s why you kicked him out."

Su Fengfei quickly looked at her and said, "Hold it, la.s.s! I never said that I kicked him out." He tried to defend himself.

Xue Lin shrugged. "You did say that to me but you didn"t tell him that either. It could be, he thought that you thought him as a burden."

He was shocked. "That couldn"t be!"

She lightly said, "I"m just saying. But we won"t know what he is thinking unless you tell him how you feel."

Su Fengfei gave it a serious thought. "I have to talk to him then."

Xue Lin encouraged him, "That"s a brave step! I"m already proud of you, grandpa. But something is bugging me."

He frowned and asked, "What is?"

Xue Lin pointed at the pond. "How can a teenager and an old man dig a pond? It looks pretty deep too."

Su Fengfei replied, "It is deep. You might not believe it but Xiao Chen has the strength of a man since he was in the army."

Xue Lin widened her eyes. "He was in the army!" He didn"t look like he was in the army.

Su Fengfei proudly said, "Yes, he went to Italy when he was seven and after he finished his training at the age of fourteen, he came back. He had a whole different aura around him. I almost couldn"t recognize him. The Mu Family trained him well."

Xue Lin asked further, "…He was under the Mu Family?! How did he know them?"

Su Fengfei told her everything. He had nothing to hide from her. "When Xiao Chen was six, we took him to Germany to celebrate Christmas. There he met Mu Liang. Mu Liang is the eldest grandson of Mu Cheng, the head of the Mu Family. Mu Liang offered Xiao Chen an opportunity. He said that he could see the potential inside Xiao Chen and Xiao Chen agreed."

Xue Lin concluded, "So, they are like childhood friends…"

Su Fengfei smiled. "They are best friends." He thought that his grandson was happy around his friends.

Xue Lin couldn"t help but ask, "Is that why Chen wanted to be a bodyguard of the Mu Family?"

Su Fengfei was startled. "Say what?"

Xue Lin was surprised too. She thought that her husband told everything to his grandfather. "Huh? You didn"t know? He was the bodyguard of the Mu Family before he came back to China."

"H-he is a bodyguard…" Su Fengfei started to tremble. He couldn"t believe his grandson was a simple bodyguard.

She regretted telling him about it. She didn"t know what else Su Fengfei didn"t know. She thought that she had to be careful about what she said from now on. "I met him a couple of times in Paris and Florence."

Su Fengfei"s eyes glowed. He has been waiting for this opportunity since yesterday. "So, you met him there. Tell me all about it."

"…That"s how we became acquaintances." After Xue Lin was done with her story, Su Fengfei nodded in satisfaction. Then he looked at her with a serious expression and told her, "La.s.s, you might not believe me but I"m going to tell you something shocking."

Xue Lin unconsciously straightened her back and asked, "What is it?"

He said, "I think my grandson is in love with you."
