He gently caressed Lingyue’s little face. Looking at the child, he felt an inexplicable but intense sense of kinship and desire.

He asked Gu Junzhu, “Xiao Zhu, what do you think? If I were to accept this child as my god-grandson, would his parents agree?”

Gu Junzhu was taken aback.

Being acknowledged as a god-grandson by the venerable and respected Senior Master Xiang was a matter of great delight for any ordinary parent. Who wouldn’t be pleased?

But wasn’t Senior Master Xiang’s decision overly hasty?

He chose his words carefully, “Uncle Xiang, I fear Brother Xiang may not agree.”

Senior Master Xiang chuckled self-deprecatingly. Stroking Lingyue’s little head, he said, “Regardless of whether he is willing or not, look at him now. What difference does it make?”

As the ancient saying goes, ‘from the slight signs one can know the full circumstances.’

From this incident alone, it was clear to him that his son’s arrogance had inflated.

The three of them, two adults and a child, had saved his biological father’s life, yet he showed no gratitude, even threatening them with a gun instead.

Senior Master Gu had lost all hope and felt utterly disillusioned with this son of his. He had no expectations left.

Now, his only hope was to find a promising sprout, to personally mentor so that he could grow into a talented individual who could help take care of the Xiang family.

Otherwise, once he was gone, the Xiang family would be over.

Upon his death, with no one to rely on, he didn’t know what sort of plight his son would fall into.

He needed to find a pillar of support, a way out for his son, so that he could face his wife in the afterlife without shame when his time came.

After a brief thought, Gu Junzhu felt that this was a good opportunity for Lingyue.

If he became the Senior Master Xiang’s god-grandson, even if his stepmother dared to bully him in the future, she would be not unlike the old lady who chose to swallow poison for fearing her life was too long!

Gu Junzhu asked Lingyue, “Xiao Yue, Grandpa Xiang likes you and wants to take you as his god-grandson. What do you think?”

Lingyue looked up at him, his little face tight with anxiety, “What’s a god- grandson?”

Gu Junzhu chuckled, “If you consider Grandpa Xiang as your god-grandfather, then you’ll become Grandpa Xiang’s grandson. For now, while you are young, Grandpa Xiang will educate you, nurture you, and love you. When you grow up, and Grandpa Xiang becomes old, you must respect and take care of him, accompany him, and bring joy to his old age.”

Lingyue met his gaze, “Like you and Xiao Shu?”

Gu Junzhu laughed, patting his head, “Exactly! I’m currently raising and doting on Xiao Shu. When Xiao Shu grows up, and I grow old, Xiao Shu will accompany and look after me.”

“Daddy won’t get old, Daddy will always be young!” Xiao Shumiao protested loudly, clinging to Gu Junzhu’s leg like a koala climbing a tree.

Gu Junzhu laughed and bent down to scoop him into his arms, giving him a loving kiss.

Xiao Shumiao cupped his face, complaining, “Daddy won’t grow old, Daddy will always be handsome and young! Even if Daddy doesn’t grow old, Xiao Shu can still take care of Daddy! Xiao Shu loves Daddy the most!”

Gu Junzhu laughed, kissing his cheek again. His heart was warm, almost burning, and his eyes were just slightly moist.

Having this child had softened his heart, making him more susceptible to feelings of joy and sentiment.

Although this child was not of his flesh and blood, he was already the treasure in his heart, easily making him feel either joyful or emotional.

While watching Gu Junzhu hold Xiao Shumiao tightly, Lingyue suddenly asked, “Uncle Gu, if I accept that old man as my god-grandfather, can I still stay with Xiao Shu?”

Gu Junzhu turned his gaze to Senior Master Xiang.

Senior Master Xiang probably wanted to personally teach and mentor Lingyue, didn’t he?
