Their eyes met, and after a brief moment, Shangguan Jianing quickly looked away, turned around and walked towards the back room. In the blink of an eye, the person had disappeared, leaving only the faint fragrance.

Zhuang Lin supported the old man, crossed the threshold, and entered the house. After entering the house, Zhuang Lin looked around. In front of the window, on a mahogany wicker chair, a gray-haired old man was enjoying a fragrant tea.

.

Looking at the gray-haired old man, Zhuang Lin felt a sigh of relief in his heart. He remembered that when he saw this old man the year he left Yanjing, his hair was not so white.

When we met again, the half-white hair had turned white, and the familiar face was already covered with wrinkles, and the whole person showed a kind of twilight.

When Zhuang Lin looked at Mr. Shangguan, Mr. Shangguan also raised his head, and a ray of light shot out of his slightly cloudy eyes and fell on his face.

"Yao'er is back, come on, come on, sit here." Xu Shi's eyes were already a little dizzy. The old man stared at Zhuang Lin for a long time before he could see him clearly. A smile appeared on his face and he stretched out his hand.

Come on, he waved slowly towards Zhuang Lin.

Looking at the old man whose movements were slow and whose speech was unclear, Zhuang Lin sighed. No matter how heroic a person is, he is always a weakling in front of time. In the end, he can only watch helplessly as the butcher knife of time cuts off what belongs to him.

Everything, only those memories of those years remain.

Zhuang Lin remained silent and helped his grandfather to the side of Mr. Shangguan, and asked his grandfather to sit down on the wicker chair next to Mr. Shangguan.

"Grandpa Shangguan."

"It's good to be back. It's good to be back. We old guys don't have to worry about you anymore." Mr. Shangguan held Zhuang Lin's hand, looked at him with cloudy eyes, and said with a slight smile.

"I miss Grandpa Shangguan." Zhuang Lin knelt down in front of Grandpa Shangguan and said.

"Old Shangguan, now that you see Yao'er, you should be relieved." Mr. Zhuang came over, looked at Mr. Shangguan beside him, and said with a smile.

"Haha, if Yao'er wasn't so outstanding, I might still be able to relax, but now I really can't rest assured about him. I can't help it. He's such an outstanding kid. He's so outstanding that all those beautiful and talented women...

Like a moth, it desperately pounced on his blazing fire." Mr. Shangguan chuckled and said.

Hearing Mr. Shangguan's words of praise for him, Zhuang Lin felt a little embarrassed. He stood up and stood aside obediently, listening to the conversation between the two old men.

Hey, Grandpa Shangguan, are you praising me or mocking me? Do you mean that I am liked by women or that I attract bees and butterflies?

Zhuang Lin stood there, grinning, expressionless.

In Mr. Shangguan's words, even if he meant to praise him, he also meant to accuse him. After all, there were quite a few women who had relationships with him, and as many as four were only known to outsiders.

Chu Wan, Kong Qinghua, Fang Qing, and now there is another Shangguan Jianing. The first three have all had physical relations with him, but Shangguan Jianing is his legitimate fiancée.

Apart from these four, there is also the little girl Xiaoqing. Furthermore, the relationship between him and Lin Huan has always been in turmoil.

Among these women, Kong Qinghua, Shangguan Jianing, and Lin Huan are all the kind of extraordinary women who are both beautiful and talented. They are the goddesses that countless men dream of.

Nowadays, although in China, the law has made provisions that strictly prohibit bigamy, but that is only for ordinary people. For people in the upper class, which capable man does not have two or three women by his side?

.

Just like his father Zhuang Xuanliang, he had more than one woman outside. Long before Zhuang Xuanliang married his mother, Zhuang Xuanliang had a woman outside. Just because of his family, he did not dare to marry that woman.

Even after Zhuang Xuanliang got married, he still continued to have contact with any woman. Later, after his mother committed suicide, Zhuang Xuanliang succeeded as the head of the family, so he simply took this woman and their daughter back to the Zhuang Mansion and made them the principal bride.

Among the upper class circles, especially big families like the Zhuang family and the Jiang family, they do not reject it. If the men of the family have women outside, even their wives will not hold on to this matter.

Political marriage makes the relationship between husband and wife very fragile, with almost no emotion at all. As long as the man does not go too far, then under normal circumstances, the woman will not care about the man's private life.

"Haha, if a man is good, he will always be liked by girls, especially those who are good. However, no matter how many girls he likes, or how many girls like him, he can only have one wife, right?"

Who is Mr. Zhuang? He is a man with an all-round heart. He can smooth things over with just a few words.

Zhuang Lin stood nearby, listening to the old man's words, and was speechless for a while. Jiang was indeed still very old.

"That's right, so we, as elders, should keep a close eye on the marriage between Yao'er and Jianing." It seems that Mr. Shangguan is old, but this guy is not confused at all.

"Yao'er, I'll have a little chat with your Grandpa Shangguan. You go into the room and stay there. I'll call you later." Mr. Zhuang grinned, smiled, turned to look at Zhuang Lin and said.

Zhuang Lin glanced at his grandfather, then at the old man Shangguan next to him, and finally glanced at the door of the back room, smiling bitterly in his heart. This was a forced opportunity for himself and Shangguan Jianing to be alone.

"What are you still doing? Leave immediately." Seeing Zhuang Lin still standing there, the old man grimaced and shouted to Zhuang Lin in a commanding tone.

Zhuang Lin had no choice but to turn around angrily and walked into the back room.

In the back room, Shangguan Jianing was sitting alone on the couch in the back, turning her head and looking out the window. She seemed to be admiring the scenery outside, but Zhuang Lin could hear her accelerated heartbeat.

After Zhuang Lin entered the room, he sat down on the stool next to him and looked at Shangguan Jianing opposite, feeling a little headache.

The room fell into silence, so quiet that you could even hear the heartbeats of two people.

It wouldn't be too embarrassing if there were just two unrelated people alone in a room, but the two of them had already entered into a marriage contract since they were born. One was the other's fiancée, and the other was.

Another's fiancé.

After being separated for twenty-two years, the two of them met and sat alone in a room. It was inevitable that they would be embarrassed.
