Mu Wan heard the old man’s heartfelt words and softly murmured, "Old Master, I know you care deeply for him... Please sit down and talk to , don’t kneel anymore..."
"Mu Wan, girl, let finish speaking."
Mu Wan looked at Qin Old Master’s persistent and earnest deanor. The words reached her lips, and she could only reply gently, "Alright, please go ahead."
"Alright..."
The old man started talking about his grandson. His eyes grew sowhat moist as he raised his gaze to et Mu Wan’s face in front of him, his voice hoarse.
"You’ve loved Qin Mu for so long, so you naturally know about Jian Ran, don’t you? To be honest, this girl Jian Ran, I truly like her... But she doesn’t love Qin Mu. If she did, they would’ve sparked long ago. After all this ti, they still don’t see eye to eye, which ans they’re only suited to be friends... or siblings."
Mu Wan clenched her small hands... Yes.
Back then, Jian Ran didn’t choose Qin Mu.
Four years later... Jian Ran married soone else... started a family, had children.
But her partner was still not Qin Mu.
The two of them were destined but not fated.
"There’s a lot of reasoning under this sky, but there’s no saying... that you have to fall for soone at first sight. And there’s no saying... that once you fall in love with one person, it’ll be impossible to love soone else. I’m a simple man, uneducated... and my words may sound coarse, but... Mu Wan, girl, stay by Qin Mu’s side. I don’t want my precious grandson to lose the ability to love soone completely after falling for Jian Ran."
Mu Wan: "..."
Mu Wan’s expression froze slightly as she heard the old man continue.
"Otherwise... if you don’t stay by his side, Qin Mu will forever hang himself on Jian Ran’s tree... and in this lifeti, he’ll be incapable of loving anyone again. Sure, I could pick any random woman for him... He could marry and have children, but in this life, he’d be like a walking corpse. Is that the Qin Mu you want to see?"
Mu Wan: "..."
Mu Wan felt that the old man had not aged at all; his reasoning made perfect sense.
She was... montarily at a loss for words.
Mu Wan could roughly understand the old man’s concerns...
After Jian Ran, Qin Mu no longer had the ability to love soone else. If this persisted for a long ti, he’d lose the ability to love entirely and beco like a walking corpse.
So... the old man was pinning all his hopes on her.
Mu Wan curled her lips slightly and said softly, "Old Master... You’re overestimating . I don’t think I’m capable of that..."
"No... girl, you are. If nothing else, you’ve loved Qin Mu for eight long years."
Mu Wan: "..."
Yes, from seventh grade to sophomore year in college...
A whole eight years, the most innocent and carefree years of a girl’s life, she... had devoted entirely to unrequited love for Qin Mu.
Mu Wan clenched her small hands tightly and gazed at the old man’s tear-filled eyes, murmuring, "Old Master... you..."
"To love soone... Eight years, eight years... you could’ve driven those little Japanese out of the country. You could’ve succeeded in anything. Girl... Use the love you have for Qin Mu to teach him how to love others... Can you? Consider it this old man’s plea to you."
Mu Wan: "..."
Eight years...
Hearing the old man’s words, Mu Wan suddenly realized that the ti she had spent on unrequited love for Qin Mu... really could’ve been used to fight a war.
Mu Wan couldn’t help but chuckle quietly, feeling like the old man was forcing a duck onto the rack.
Could she really... do it?
