Chapter 841 - Tell her after


While Yue Ling enjoyed a short reunion with her subordinates, afternoon soon came to Imperial as a black car pulls up to Rosewood Hotel.


The driverside door opens, and Xu Long steps out into view. He doesn't waste any time and quickly walks to the rear to open the door.


As he opens the door, Lu Tian steps out dressed in his usual black attire. After making a phone call to City Z to talk to Chief Kim, he came here to meet Grandfather Ji for lunch.


"Good afternoon, Mr. Lu. We've been expecting your arrival."


A middle-aged man greets Lu Tian with a polite smile. He is none other than the hotel manager.


When he heard that Lu Tian was coming to the hotel for lunch, he ensured that the place was cleaned spotless. After all, the young owner of the hotel is a clean freak.


"General Ji and Mr. Zhong are waiting inside for you."


He spoke in a calm and natural voice, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at the black car. It was as if he was expecting to see someone come out.


Xu Long saw where the manager's eyes were looking, and he pouts his lip. He scratches the side of his head in confusion and looks inside the back seat of the car.


However, it was empty.


"Why is he staring so intensely when there's no one? Were we expecting someone?"


He murmured to himself, not knowing that Lu Tian and the manager could hear him.


Lu Tian held his indifferent demeanor, but inside he was beyond dumbfounded by his assistant. He decides to ignore the man and looks at the hotel manager.


"My wife isn't here. I will be meeting Grandfather Ji alone for lunch."


He knew the hotel manager was looking so hard. Especially now that their relationship is known to the world, everyone associated with him wants to meet his wife.


The hotel manager's face flushed red hearing the words 'my wife' from Lu Tian.


He quickly looks away from the car. He sounds a laugh to hide his embarrassment and clears his throat.


"I don't know what you are talking about, but you should have brought her here for lunch."


It turned out he (hotel manager) wasn't expecting his (Xu long) boss but his boss lady. The hotel manager shot Xu Long a glare before smiling at Lu Tian again. He chuckles a second time before gesturing towards the hotel entrance.


"Come. It would be best if you didn't make the grandfather of your wife wait too long. It will not be a good impression."


Lu Tian wasn't bothered by the man's joking words. He nods his head lightly, and strides in the direction pointed.


If it had been someone else who spoke such words, he would have silenced them.


However, the hotel manager is a person he respects and one of the few people who watched him grow up.


Xu Long kept a steady pace behind his boss and the hotel manager. He stares at the tall figure in front of him with a dazed expression.


His boss has really changed since the boss lady appeared. The man's answers were longer now, and he no longer gives people the death glare.


Unbeknown to the assistant's thoughts, Lu Tian is lead to the restaurant on Rosewood Hotel's rooftop.


"Ah, Lu boy! Over here."


The second Lu Tian stepped foot on the rooftop, Grandfather Ji's voice calls out to him. He looks in the direction of the old man and walks over to the table.


"Grandfather Ji. Uncle Zhong."


He nods a polite greeting to the two elderly men before taking a seat across from Grandfather Ji.


At the same time, Xu Long didn't act like an assistant and plopped down on the seat opposite Zhong Yang.


"Oh, Ah Ling didn't come with you?"


Grandfather Ji couldn't help but ask. He had invited Lu Tian for lunch, but since he knows the young man is always pinned to his granddaughter, he thought the two would arrive together.


Hearing the question, Lu Tian sighs a faint smile as his wife's face appears in his mind.


"She's settling the situation at An Qing today."


If she weren't, he would have gone to her company and picked her up. However, he had to refrain from doing so as he knows how important it was for his wife.


"Ah, I see."


As he thought this, his expression turns into one of guilt.


He hopes that she isn't pushing herself too hard because he told her to take over Ji Corps.


Lu Tian was quick to notice the change in Grandfather ii. He turns to a waiter standing nearby and nods his head to bring the menu before looking back at the old man.


"Does Doctor Dong know that you are here?"


Grandfather Ji had only taken a Sip of his water when he suddenly chokes at the question. He knew this made Zhong Yang worried, but he quickly gestures with his hand to assure the man he was fine.


He clears his throat and stares at Lu Tian, who sat across from him. Seeing that the young man's expression was severe, he smiles.


"What are you saying? Of course, he knows that I am here. He was the one who discharged me."


He could have left the hospital sooner, but Ji Jingxu kept insisting on him to stay. He understands that the boy is worried, but there is so much for him to do.


His body is slowly giving up on him, and if he wants his grandchildren to live a worry-free life, he cannot stay in the hospital. That is why he waited until Ji Jingxu returned to school did he force Doctor Dong to discharge him.


Thinking about how his time is shortening, sadness gradually clouded his eyes. He looks down at the table, and a small sigh escapes his lips.


"I do not want to ruin this joyous moment for you and her. So I will tell her after the wedding."


He swallows a gulp as if trying to suppress his emotions, then looks back up at Lu Tian.


"I hope that when that time comes, you will keep your promise and be there to comfort her."


He wanted to tell her sooner, but considering Yue Ling and Lu Tian's wedding just around the corner, he couldn't. He wants his granddaughter to focus on the wedding instead of worrying about them.


Lu Tian could only stare at the elderly man across from him. He felt a sharp and tingling pain in his c.h.e.s.t. However, he didn't know if it was because of Grandfather Ji's expression or the thought of how his wife will react.


Or... maybe it was both.


"Lu boy? Are you alright?"


Grandfather Ji asked with worried when he didn't get a response from Lu Tian. He knows what is on his (Lu Tian) mind, but his (Grandfather Ji) decision is firm.


Right now, his granddaughter's happiness comes first. The last thing he wants to do is make her relive another sad life.


Lu Tian came to his senses when he heard Grandfather Ji's voice. He nods his head to answer, then noticing that the waiter had already arrived at their table, he takes the menu.


As the waiter walks away, he opens the menu to order. However, despite his eyes on the menu, his mind was elsewhere.


Zhong Yang and Xu long did not notice his expression, but Grandfather Ji did.


He (Grandfather Ji) had watched him (Lu Tian) grow up into a fine young man. He is piratically a grandfather to the boy.


However, knowing what is on Lu Tian's mind, he could only heave a long sigh.


"Lu boy. You don't have to worry so much. This is my decision, and I will take care of it. Just promise that you will keep your words."


Lu Tian calmly lowers the menu and locks his eyes with the pair of eyes on the opposite side.


He would be lying if he wasn't worried about the old man's decision. It will undoubtedly hurt his wife, and that's the last thing he wants to do.


His expression turns serious, and he straightens his spine.


"I promised to make her happy, and I plan to keep it that way until my last breath. From the moment she entered my world, I knew I lived for her only. Her happiness is my happiness. Her pain is my pain. Where ever she is, my heart and mind will always be with her. "


His voice was calm and collected while his words held unending promises. Even his expression alone was enough to let one know he meant what he said.


However, unlike his seriousness at the moment, the three men sitting at the table with him held a different expression.


Grandfather Ji was uttered speechless by Lu Tian's words, while Zhong Yang and Xu Long stared with their mouth agape. One held a look of bewilderment while the other had a glimpse of awe.


All three men stare at the man who is supposed to be known for having no mercy and is coldblooded to everyone.


Lu Tian slightly frowns as he didn't know why they were giving him such looks. However, he quickly discards the situation and looks down at the menu.


Grandfather Ji's thoughts: 'What is this? Is this the same boy I watched grow up?'


Zhong Yang's thoughts: 'Wow. I always thought he was a boy with few words. Surprisingly, he can speak so much.'


Xu Long's thoughts: 'I need to take some notes. My boss is such a romantic. It's like he's finally confessing his love for the boss lady to win the grandfather's blessings.'


Lu Tian's thoughts: 'I miss my wife."
