Chapter 1485 Don’t Waste A Woman’s Pri Years
But, ti and age waited for no one.
The glory of youth had slowly faded over ti until age finally caught up. It evolved into an awe-inspiring majesty that would influence the future generations. That was probably the greatest achievent in Captain Li’s lifeti.
Li Jinnan felt his heart ache. He took a step forward and called out, “Grandpa.”
The wrinkles on the old man’s face were many, and they were deeper than when Li Jinnan had last seen them.
Li Jinnan held a bowl of dicine in his hand. Hot steam rose from the brown liquid.
When Li Xun saw the dicine, the smile on his face weakened. He asked, “Jinnan, are you back here to feed my dication?”
Li Jinnan chuckled and replied, “Not at all. But, you should quickly finish your dicine. It’s good for your body.”
The old man was unhappy when he heard that. “I’m not drinking it. I know my own body best. Hmph!”
“Grandpa, if you drink it, I’ll share a secret with you,” Li Jinnan said.
“Huh?” Captain Li’s cloudy eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at Li Jinnan and asked, “Secret?”
“Yeah, it’s a secret regarding . I haven’t told anyone about it yet.” Li Jinnan deliberately acted furtively. He held the bowl of dicine up. “I believe you’ll be very happy with this secret, Grandpa.”
“Tsk! It’s even a secret that I’ll be happy about?” Captain Li looked at him in mock disdain, but his eyes sparkled. “Are you trying to tell that you’ve found soone?”
Li Jinnan raised his eyebrows slightly and held the bowl closer.
Old Captain Li gave him a glare and scolded, “What a rotten grandson!”
Despite the words, he obediently took the bowl with both hands. With a grimace, he finished the dicine and harrumphed as he turned the bowl upside down to prove it to Li Jinnan.
He wiped his lips and demanded, “Out with it now! What’s the secret?”
Li Jinnan took the empty bowl from him and put it aside. He said, “I’ve found soone.”
The old Captain Li Xun was stunned when he heard it. A mont later, he burst into laughter. He waved his wrinkled and papery hand before patting Li Jinnan’s shoulder while he said, “Well done! You’re indeed a promising young man! If that’s the case, will you be holding your wedding once your older brother is done with his?”
“Um...” Li Jinnan didn’t dare admit that it wasn’t likely to be that soon.
However, Li Beixing’s wedding was to be held in December this year. That still gave him a few months. Perhaps by then he would have already succeeded in sealing the deal with Ye Youyou.
Li Jinnan thought for a mont and replied, “I’ll try my best.”
“Alright! Alright!” Captain Li was elated. “You’re indeed worthy of being my grandson! Well done! What sort of a lady is she?”
Looking into the old man’s cloudy yet alert eyes, Li Jinnan held his grandfather’s papery hand and replied, “She’s a good lady.”
“B*llshit! Of course she’s a good lady! Would you be dating her otherwise? Our Li family isn’t one to accept just anyone!” The old Captain Li Xun was very serious. “She can’t be a woman of loose morals. She can’t be of bad character either. It doesn’t matter if she’s rich or poor, or if she’s pretty or ugly. What matters is that she has to be to your liking.”
That’s exactly what Li Jinnan thought too. His smile reached his eyes as he said, “Well... Grandpa, if I were to get divorced and marry a woman who had never been married before, would that be reasonable?”
“You can’t get divorced!” Li Xun’s tone was very resolute. “If you can’t get along with her, don’t get married in the first place! Don’t waste a woman’s pri years!”
