Sweet Beauty

Liang Zixuan did not know if her grandmother was happy, but she knew that her grandmother definitely wouldn't be happy for the rest of her life.

Her husband had died a long time ago, and even her only daughter had died horribly before she did. The pain had made Luo Yanyun aged ten years overnight.

In the days to come, she would be living alone in a nursing home. If it weren't for Liang Zixuan and Liang Jiahao, Luo Yanyun probably wouldn't be able to bear it.

Liang Zixuan knew the bitterness in her grandmother's heart, but without Luo Yanyun's consent, she could not tell this to Qiao Hongya.

She looked at Qiao Hongya's pained expression and let out a long sigh.

"Grandpa Qiao." Liang Zixuan could not bear to see an old man in his seventies crying like this in front of her.

"You just got off the plane, so you should be tired. I... I'll go back first. Have a good rest."

Han Yuanjun patted Liang Zixuan on the shoulder and comforted her. "Don't be sad, go back and take good care of your grandmother. I won't eat dinner with you tonight. I will accompany Grandpa Qiao. Come find me if you need me."

"En." Liang Zixuan nodded and gave Qiao Hongya another deep look before she stood up and left.

After Han Yuanjun saw Liang Zixuan out, he turned back to look at Qiao Hongya. "Grandpa Qiao, the matter has already been made clear. The person you wanted to find has already been found. You can be considered to have succeeded. Although the result is unsatisfactory, it's still better than living your life with regret."

Then Qiao Hongya slowly opened his eyes. Tears flowed down his face like a flood. He looked at Han Yuanjun, and when he did, he suddenly cried like a child who had been wronged.

Han Yuanjun's eyebrows twitched. He really didn't expect that after Liang Zixuan left, Qiao Hongya wouldn't be able to hold it back and would cry like this. That gentle and refined person who could be calm in the face of anything, as if nothing could hit him, instantly became weak.

"Sigh …" Han Yuanjun sighed, walked over and sat beside him, hugged him.

When Liang Zixuan returned home, she found that Luo Yanyun wasn't feeling much better either. She was locked in her room and didn't eat or drink. She just stared out the window in a daze.

Liang Zixuan didn't say anything. She walked to Luo Yanyun's side and sat down, accompanying her to look out the window calmly.

At night, Qiao Hongya finally felt better. He and Han Yuanjun sat in the living room with empty bottles on the coffee table in front of them.

Han Yuanjun snatched the wine glass from Qiao Hongya's hand. "Grandpa Qiao, if you keep drinking without stopping, you'll get sick. I know you're sad, but you can't joke about your body!"

Han Yuanjun was afraid that Qiao Hongya would never wake up if he kept drinking. He was so old and yet he drank like this.

After drinking so much, Qiao Hongya did not feel drunk at all. He watched Han Yuanjun take his wine glass without saying a word.

Han Yuanjun smiled and tried to coax him. "Actually, all those years of searching were not in vain. At least you helped me meet Zixuan. Didn't you say that you wanted to recruit her? Why don't you just live here for a while and consider this moment as your vacation?"

Qiao Hongya's eyes finally lit up. He turned around and glared at Han Yuanjun. "Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking about. Now, all you care about is your 'Baby'. She can't leave her grandmother, that's why you are asking me to stay here to teach her!"

Han Yuanjun chuckled. "I didn't do it only for my woman but also for you. Even though the result isn't satisfactory, you could be counted as lucky that after all these years, she's still alive. Didn't her husband also die? You've never been married, so this is a good time for you to find your partner."

Qiao Hongya's eyes were dark and unclear, it was unknown what he was thinking.

Han Yuanjun took a sip of his wine. "Unless...You despised her because she married someone else and had a daughter with him."

"Bah!" Qiao Hongya spat gloomily. "Why should I despise her? Do you want her to wait for me for the rest of her life and not marry? I am not a selfish person!"

Han Yuanjun looked at him with a smile. "Then why are you so depressed?"

Qiao Hongya sighed with melancholy. He kicked Han Yuanjun's shin with his slippered foot. "Give me back my wine and I'll tell you."

Han Yuanjun frowned. "You can't drink anymore! If something happens to you here, how will I explain it to that family? How can I explain it to your fans around the world?"

"What?" Qiao Hongya gritted his teeth angrily. "I have a strong body, so I won't die easily. Didn't you want to hear my story? I won't tell you as long as you don't give me that wine."

Seeing his stubborn look, Han Yuanjun suddenly felt that Qiao Hongya was very similar to Liang Zixuan. No, it should be said that when Liang Zixuan became stubborn, she looked extremely similar to the current Qiao Hongya.

They were all the same tough bone!

Han Yuanjun, on the other hand, was very curious. He returned Qiao Hongya's wine glass to him. "Only one glass."

Qiao Hongya took the glass and drank all the wine inside until there was nothing left. Only after the wine was strong enough did he slowly open his mouth. "You don't know, back then I … Actually, I…"

He stammered so hard that he couldn't say anything. Han Yuanjun thought that something must have happened between him and Luo Yanyun, so Han Yuanjun wasn't in a hurry. He quietly waited for Qiao Hongya to sort out his thoughts and slowly spoke.

Qiao Hongya shook his head and sighed. "Back then, there was indeed a relationship between her and me, and at that time, there was internal strife, and the war was about to end. But suddenly, I received news that someone wanted to assassinate me, and it was really chaotic."

"I risked my life to see her, and at that time, she was standing on the bridge. I could even see her, and I was so excited that I wanted to run over, but at that moment, two people suddenly appeared with guns in their hands."

"I was startled, afraid that I would implicate her, so I ran in the opposite direction with all my might." Qiao Hongya said dejectedly. "When everything ended and everything quietened down, it will be three years later. I went back to the country to find her, but there's no one at the place she's staying. No matter what, I can't find her."

"It's not a big deal." Han Yuanjun didn't feel anything as he sat there. "You just missed her. You can also explain this matter to her right now. Grandmother is very nice, she will forgive you."

"Heh …" Qiao Hongya laughed gloomily. "You're saying as if it is quite simple things to do. If she really did not blame me, she would not have married Liang Boqin after I left. She would have at least waited a few years for me."

Han Yuanjun picked up the wine bottle and poured half a glass of wine for Qiao Hongya. "Seeing how pitiful you are, I will allow you to drink another half glass.. After that, you will go and have a good sleep."
