Ji An was stunned. Her tears had stopped. She bit her lips and turned her head to wipe her eyes to hide her emotions.
"Grandfather, what do we need to forgive? I don't understand what you're talking about. "
"An'an, you don't need to hide it from grandpa. You were raised by grandpa alone, and if it wasn't for the fact that your heart was broken, with your character, you wouldn't have bothered with Yi Yang. Grandpa knows that if that stinking brat Yi Yang didn't bully you, you wouldn't have been so ruthless as to divorce him and run away."
Hearing this, Ji An covered his mouth and suppressed the bitterness in his eyes. "Grandfather, it's all in the past. Can we not talk about it?"
She didn't dare mention the past because she didn't want to cry in front of her grandfather.
Then Grandpa would worry.
"Good child, it's all over."
Old Man Teng patted her back in pain and said gently, "An An. Either Grandpa will talk too much, or this matter has always been on Grandfather's mind. If you don't ask, Grandpa will probably be worried about how he will leave in the future."
Ning raised his head to look at the old man in front of him. His hair was white, and his face was even older than it had been in the past. His heart ached.
"Grandfather, please ask."
"Is there any chance for you to rebuild your relationship?"
Old Man Teng also knew that he had made things difficult for them, but they were both children he had seen growing up, and he had always thought highly of them. He hoped that both of them could be blessed so that he could leave in the future without any worries.
Ji An looked at Grandpa Teng, whose eyes were filled with anticipation. He closed his eyes, lowered his head, and slowly shook it.
"Grandfather, please don't try to persuade me. Our fate has ended and there is no longer any hope for us."
He let out a long sigh. It was unknown whether he was talking to Ji An, or to the person standing outside, but he said, "Grandfather has already done his best. Grandsons have their own children and grandchildren, and grandfather has no way to worry about you guys. As long as you are healthy and happy, Grandpa will be satisfied."
With red eyes, she said, "Grandpa Teng, don't worry. An'an has always been here. You will always be my most beloved grandfather. An'an will be filial to you, loving you, and often come to visit you."
Old Man Teng caressed her head affectionately and said, "Alright, alright, alright. Grandfather didn't love you for nothing."
The old man's body wasn't as healthy as it was before. After lunch, he needed to take a nap. Lying in the rocking chair, he watched Ji An's figure shuttling back and forth in the study. He chatted with her from time to time, then gradually closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Ji An pointed at a picture of a watering flower. He wanted to share his feelings with Grandpa Teng, but when he turned around, he saw that the old man had peacefully fallen asleep.
The smile on her face froze for a moment. She let go of her hands and walked over cautiously to cover him with a thin blanket. Then, she slowly squatted down and looked at Grandpa Teng's aging face. She felt a bit uncomfortable.
Time was like sand between one's fingers, quickly flowing away without turning back.
The old tutor had aged quite a bit in the years since she'd left.
It was not that she wanted to hurt the old man's heart, but if she and Yi Yang started over again, it would be the same.
You can't wake someone who doesn't love you.
The injuries he had suffered that year were enough, so there was no need for him to repeat them.
Moreover, she believed that this wasn't the only way to show her filial piety.
She decided that if she had the time in the future, she would come and accompany the lordmaster.
The clock ticked. Ji An stood up and tiptoed out, not wanting to disturb the old man's rest.
She quietly closed the door and was about to go downstairs when her wrist was suddenly grabbed. Before she could scream, she was pulled into another room.
He was pinned behind the door, unable to move.
"Teng Yiyang, what happened to you again!"
She did not struggle, but raised her head weakly to look at the person before her.
In the moment of panic, she caught a whiff of the familiar bath fragrance on his body, and was able to restrain herself from crying out.
After she finished speaking, she happened to meet his gaze and was slightly startled.
At this moment, his entire body was emitting a cold aura. The flowers in his peach blossom eyes withered, and only the biting cold wind raged, as if it wanted to suck her in and swallow her whole.
This gaze carried with it a destructive, dangerous aura, causing Ji An to involuntarily press himself against the door.
In his memory, he had only appeared this way twice. The first time was on the eve of him unilaterally tearing apart their beautiful relationship many years ago, and the second time was when both of them were drugged and he woke up in a rage.
Every time, it was just too strange, yet it would cause her world to collapse.
She felt very sorrowful. She would never know what she had done wrong to make him treat her so cruelly.
Teng Yiyang didn't say a word as he coldly stared at her with eyes burning with anger.
Ji An's hair stood on end as he was stared at. He wanted to push him away, but his arms were like two iron pillars, preventing him from doing so.
She gave up. "What did I do to you?"
Can you explain it clearly? Let her die knowing that.
Teng Yi Yang stared at her. Suddenly, he lowered his head and placed his head on her shoulder.
What do you want to do …" "Ah …
There was a sharp pain in her shoulder, and she let out a cry, but he held her so tightly that she could not avoid it and was forced to endure his bite.
At the end, he could no longer feel the pain.
Teng Yi Yang let go of her shoulder. A clear bite mark was left on his snow-white skin.
He raised his head, the corner of his mouth still dripping with blood. His eyes were bloodshot, as if the anger in his eyes hadn't been reduced in the slightest.
Ji An cried out in pain before he glared at Ji Hao in disgust.
"Teng Yiyang, why are you going crazy again?"
He laughed in a low voice, his tone filled with sadness and ridicule, "Yes, I'm crazy. I'm crazy, so I thought you just went out to relax and waited for your anger to dissipate. You'll be back soon, and now you've waited for four years!"
"I'd be crazy to try to get close to you when you came back. If you're not satisfied, I'll let you beat me up."
"But what have I been waiting for? "It is impossible to say that fate has brought you to an end!"
He raised his head, his eyes brimming with anger and disappointment. "Ji An'an, how can you be so cruel? I'm not even going to care about what you did in the past, so why are you doing this to me? "
Teng Yiyang's words were like a tsunami that surged through her mind and heart.
She almost thought that she had misheard him, or that he had changed his mind. Otherwise, how could he say such words!
However …
Nothing was a dream.
Teng Yi Yang stretched out both of his hands and grabbed her shoulders. He moved closer to her eyes, not allowing her to escape.
"Ji Anan, on what basis are you treating me like this?" When I like it, I welcome it with a smile, but when I don't want to, I push it away. I, Teng Yiyang am not a commodity, and I'm not a pet!
"Doesn't your conscience ache?"
