Unexpected Second Chance at Love [2]

CHAPTER 266: Long day

Yue Ling looked at the painting for the last time. Just as she was about to tell Uncle Zhi to wrap the box up for her, she takes a quick glance at Lu Tian.

He had not spoke a word or made a sound. She thought he was only standing quietly next to her. However.....

Following his eyes, she realizes that the man is a actually very interested in the painting. No, that's not possible, this is a gift for her yeye. He has to find something else. Just when she thought it, the unimaginable happens.

"I'll buy this one."

"....."

Lu Tian's out of the blue words struck her like a waterball. It was like squirtle had come to life and blast her with his hydro pump. The corner of her mouth twitch slightly.

Uncle Zhi's head jolted back until his double chin could be seen. He did not see this turn of events at all. Quickly coming back to is five senses, he clears his throat and glance at Yue Ling with a quiet whisper.

"Miss, what do you say... think about this?"

Yue Ling pout her lip and looks at Uncle Zhi. From the angle she stood, Lu Tian could only see the back of her head and not her expression at this moment. She pout her lip until both her cheeks swelled making her look like an adorable chipmunk.

Lu Tian wants the painting too? What about her yeye? He's been looking for this paining for years... and she's finally gotten her hands on it...

However.... she thought and thought about the situation. Closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, she comes to a decision. Looking at Uncle Zhi, she smiles ever so faintly and nod her head.

Seeing this, Uncle Zhi could only sigh. He knows that she doesn't want to give it away, but since it's come to this.... He sighed again and looks over to Lu Tian.

"Keep in mind that who you plan to give this to

must know his art. I risked a lot just to obtain this piece."

Lu Tian nod his head in understanding. He looks at his wife and smiled faintly. He wasn't blind to not know what she is feeling, but he is sorry for wanting this piece of painting. Grandfather Ji has been like a real grandfather to him and he wants to gift this painting to the old man.

Thinking of grandfather Ji, Lu Tian hopes that one of these days, he can introduce the two to each other along with his family. Maybe he should let his parents know, that way his mother can stop her nagging.

"A-chooooo!!"

In another rural part of Imperial, grandfather Ji who was holding a golf club suddenly sneezes. He frown and looks to the sky with questioning eyes.

Who dares to talk about him at this moment? Are they say good things or bad thing?

"Old Ji, has your golfing skills turn old with you?"

From beside him comes an old voice and he turn to glare at the person.

"What old with me? You're just as old."

Remembering the reason why he is here, he leans toward the old man, "Ya, Old Dong, why don't you spill the beans and tell me about why you invited me here."

Hearing this, Doctor Dong glance at grandfather Ji and he smirk evilly. It gave off a feeling like a villain up to no good at all. He leans closer to grandfather Ji and did not hesitate to spill the beans.

"It's like this, the other day at the military hospital....."

As grandfather Ji attentively listens, his eyes grew wide and his mouth opened into an O shape. Slowly, that O closes and turns into a sly smile.
