Back to square one

Feeling proud of himself, Grandfather Ji stuck out his chest a little with his head held high. He was extremely satisfied that he was able to make Lu Tian admit something.

However, thinking back to the lad's words regarding his granddaughter, he heaves a long sigh like a deflating balloon.

"I also hope that Ah Ling will speak her mind."

A bittersweet smile curls on his lip and he thought about the past.

"She can be quite direct about some things, but during the other times, she is too patient and tends to bottle up her true feelings."

Lu Tian didn't want to admit it, but he has to agree with the old man again. His time with his wife has made him come to understand her personality better.

If she wants to speak her mind, she will do so. However, if she doesn't want anyone to know what she is thinking or feeling, she will make sure that nothing slips.

There are times when even he can't read her mind as much as she to him.
