Translator: Lonelytree

After hearing Gong Tianhao's suggestion, Old Master Gong sighed. "Alright, Hao 'Er, you can arrange it."

"Grandpa, Taoyuan Village is a very beautiful place..." Gong Tianhao was already ready with his spiel, but he stopped. "Grandpa, you agreed? You're not going to argue with me?" Gong Tianhao was shocked.

Old Master Gong looked at his grandson's surprised face, and he grumbled, "Since you said the place is so beautiful, the people are so nice, and there's an auntie whose cooking skill is better than our chef, so why would I object?"

"But Grandpa..." Can you leave the second branch of the family behind? But he didn't ask. Gong Tianhao thought he would need to try his best to persuade his grandfather, but the fact that Old Master Gong yielded so easily flustered him.

Old Master Gong waved his hand and said, "Hao 'Er, I know what you want to say. You worry that I can't part with my second brother and his family, right?"

Gong Tianhao's mouth fell open.

Looking at his grandson's expression, Old Master Gong knew that he was right. Then, he said, "Hao 'Er, you've suffered a lot all these years." He grabbed Gong Tianhao's hands and patted him a few times.

"Grandpa!" The surprise kept on coming! Gong Tianhao shook his head. "Grandpa, I've not suffered. With you around, no one has the courage to come after me."

"That's why I have to stick around longer." Old Master Gong chuckled. "I know that you're all grown up and can take care of yourself now. But I still hope that I can protect you for as long as I can. As long as I'm around, no one will dare bully you!"

Gong Tianhao immediately said, "Of course! Grandpa, you're going to live to be a hundred years old!"

Grandfather Gong shook his head and said, "With this body, I don't even dare to think that far. However, I promise to take care of myself so that I can stick around as long as I can."

Gong Tianhao's eyes were slightly red. Even as a boy, he rarely cried. However, when he heard his grandfather say he'd stick around the best he could for him, he felt a warmth in his heart. His voice was a little choked as he said with determination, "Grandpa, you will definitely live to be a hundred years old!"

Old Master Gong didn't argue with his grandson because it was rare for Gong Tianhao to act like this around him. "Okay, I will live to a hundred years old. But look at you. How old are you already that you're still crying. Your eyes are red." Old Master Gong rarely spoke so much around Gong Tianhao. "You have always been independent and strong. You didn't make a fuss when your parents passed away. For a period after that, you just shrunk into yourself. You didn't eat or drink and hid in a corner all day.

"Do you know how worried I was? At the time, I thought, if something happened to you, what would I do? I wouldn't be able to face my son and my daughter-in-law. Did you know? At the time, I carried a gun with me always. If something happened to my eldest grandson, I would follow you. I have to be there for you. No one is allowed to bully my eldest grandson."

"Grandpa..." Gong Tianhao was really touched.

"But then, one day, the boy suddenly ran over to hug me. He started to cry." Old Master Gong reminisced. "I told him that it was okay to cry. I didn't want him to hold in all his emotions because it was not healthy.

"From that moment on, I decided that I had to live well for my eldest grandson. I would be there to watch him grow up, get married, and have children. When you have your family, I can go and find your grandmother in peace. I can face your parents."
