Unexpected Second Chance at Love Chapter 399

Chapter 399 in the future

Grandfather Ji stares at Yue Ling with slightly furrow brows.

She said that her and Lu Tian have a gift to give him? Didn't they already give him gifts during the birthday celebration?

His head lower to her hand that is placed over his and he narrow his eyes.

However, unable to read the situation, he looks up at her and smiles.

"What else is there that can possibly top the gifts you both have already given me?"

Yue Ling's smile widens as she softly chuckles at his words. She takes a deep breath and turn to look at the man standing at her side.

Met with her eyes, Lu Tian did not make a sound but lightly nod his head.

Knowing that they should not beat around the bush, Yue Ling turns back to her grandfather.

Staring at his face, she sighs inside at how much he has grown older these past few years. He used to never have wrinkles, but now she could see the fine lines clearly.

A very faint smile curls on her lip and she part her lips.

"Yeye, you have always taught me the way of life and guided me to right path."

Her head lowers to the hand that she is holding.

These hands are the proof of how much her grandfather has lived life in hardship.

These hands are also the hands that held hers from a young age until now.

Never once did he let go.

Thinking about all the effort he has put in her life, Yue Ling gently caress the back of his hand with her thumb.

Slowly blinking her eyes, she raise her head to look back at him.

"I hope that in the future, you will guide our child the same way you did for us."

She sighs a smile and her words continue.

"Teach our child the things we cannot and show our child the world that we cannot."

As her words fell, Grandfather Ji felt like he was going to have heart attack. Not in a bad way, but a good way.

It was like there is a delay in transferring all her words from one side of his brain to the other.

Like something like this had happened before.

Ah, that's right. This scene was like the day his daughter and son-in-law told him that he was going to be a grandfather.

Just as the thought processed in his mind, his eyes widen and he stares in disbelief at Yue Ling before looking at Lu Tian.

His mouth opens and close, but it was like all the words in his brain had been put on pause.

Seeing his stunned reaction, Yue Ling chuckles and she slowly pass the ultrasound picture to him.

"Yeye, I hope that you will be in mine and Lu Tian's child's life."

She stares into his eyes and sighs a smile.

"I hope that you can be another shelter for our child, so he or she will know that no matter what happens, you will be another place called home."

Listening until the end, Grandfather Ji did not utter a sound.

Even he doesn't know what to think at this moment.

However after a long minute passed, his eyes slowly lowers to the photo in the Yue Ling's hand.

Before he knew it, he was already holding the black and white photo.

"You both… I…"

His lower lip trembled so much that his words could not be spoken properly.

Yue Ling sighs a smile and nod her head once.

"You are going to be a great grandfather."

Grandfather Ji looks at Yue Ling with shaking eyes. Seeing her smile, he slowly looks back down at the photo in his hand.

Though the quality of the photo is not clear, he could see the forming of the baby.

He or she's head is already taking shape with well-formed limbs.

Holding the photo with his right hand, his gently trace the part of the tiny baby with his trembling fingers.

"I am going to be great grandfather…"

As he spoke his words with a smile, his vision slowly became a blur and a tear slid down his cheek.

"My very first great grandchild…"

He gasps heavily for air and move his left hand from the photo as he clutch his chest of the aching pain inside. However, he did not stop sobbing.

Instead, his sobs that started out quietly turned into a wail.

He did not care about his image or if the people around were confused as to why he is crying like this.

The him at this moment, is beyond happy, but also in guilt.

Yue Ling stares at her grandfather and she could not describe the feeling she was having.

She felt he looked so sad like there is only sorrow in the world.

The last time she remember seeing him this way was when her nai nai passed away.

Feeling a sudden sharp pain ache in her heart, she could not bare to see him look so vulnerable.

She reach to hold his hand with of her hand.

"Yeye…"

Hearing her angelic voice that can always calm a person's mind, Grandfather Ji takes a deep breath and shook his head.

"I'm fine. I'm just very happy."

He looks at the ultrasound picture then to his granddaughter. He force a smile to reassure her that he is really fine. However, deep inside, only the heavens know how much pain he is in.

"You both have my support and blessings."

Seeing his usual smile, Yue Ling did not put much thought into it and thinks he is really fine.

"Thank you, yeye."

Grandfather Ji sighs inside and brush his feelings away. Returning to his usual self, he looks at Lu Tian with red tearful eyes.

"Promise me you will take care of them. Do not let any harm come to neither mother nor child."

Hearing his words, Lu Tian looks at the old man and nod his head. Even if he did not answer, his expression was enough to put Grandfather Ji at ease.

Standing behind the sofa, Ji Jingxu stare in wide eyes with agape mouth. His eyes locked on the photo in his grandfather's hand.

Turning to look at him, Yue Ling smiles when she saw his expression.

"Jingxu, you're going to be an uncle."

As her words enter his ears, Ji Jingxu inhaled a mouthful of air. He had seen others be called uncle, but never would he have thought the day would come when he would be called one too.

His eyes slowly shift to his sister and he stares at her, then he looks at the cold and aloof man standing by her side.

Lu Tian did not move his eyes away from his wife, but feeling a pair of eyes on him, he looks at Ji Jingxu. He nod his head to the boy without a word.

Being met with those dark pupils, Ji Jingxu felt a chill down his spine. Quickly averting his eyes, he looks at his sister and his lip arc up into a smile that reached his eyes.

"Jie, I am happy you both. Really happy."

Lu Tian may be a man who others fear, but when he (Lu Tian) is with Yue Ling, he (Ji Jingxu) can see the gentleness in those eyes that can see into a person's soul.

Thinking this, his eyes moves to the old man and he place his hands on Grandfather Ji's shoulders.

"Old man! Did you hear?! I'm going to be an uncle!!!"

Feeling his body being shake by the boy, Grandfather Ji's head wobble from side to side like he had no neck to support his head.

However, he was not bother by it. Like the boy, he is also in smiles at such wonderful news.

Even if his remaining time is short and uncertain, he will embrace this moment with everyone.

So what if he won't be here to greet this little one in the future, he is happy to know that he has a great grandchild.
