Ruan Tianling greatly respected his grandfather so he had no choice but to sit down and play chess with him.

However, his mind was preoccupied and his chess moved distractedly.

Given the rare chance for them to play chess together, Jian Yufei did not want to disturb the tranquil moment, so she went into the kitchen to prepare some tea for them.

As she brought out the tea, the aroma immediately caught the attention of the grandfather and grandson. Both of them were fond of tea and couldn’t resist its appeal.

This was analogous to some people’s fondness for alcohol; once they smell good wine, they lose all self-control.

“Yufei’s tea-making skills are improving,” the old man took a sip and smiled appreciatively.

Ruan Tianling also nodded subtly in agreement. She truly had improved a lot.

Jian Yufei responded with a light smile, “If grandfather enjoys it, I will brew tea for you daily.”

The old man was so happy that he literally could not close his mouth. He agreed immediately and proclaimed he would always drink her tea until his dying day.

Ruan Tianling looked at Jian Yufei with deep black eyes. She had a smile on her face, and her eyes radiated sincerity.

He thought to himself that she was either incredibly calculating or genuinely innocent.

Why else would she have won his grandfather’s heart so thoroughly?

Furthermore, he realised that with his grandfather’s fondness for her, the likelihood of him divorcing her had lessened drastically.

While these thoughts filled Ruan Tianling’s mind, his phone unexpectedly rang. Unlike the usual ringtone, this time the caller had a customized tune, a melancholic piano piece known as “Adelina by the Water”.

This was a piece commonly associated with expressing love. Many men likened their beloved girls to Adelina.

The specific choice of ringtone by Ruan Tianling spoke volumes.

Jian Yufei’s eyes visibly shifted, without needing to guess, she knew the call was from Yan Yue.

“Grandfather, I have to take a call.” Ruan Tianling stood and exited the living room, intentionally making it so the conversation couldn’t be overheard.

The old man was savvy. He waved dismissively, “Just pack up the chess set.”

“Grandfather, aren’t we playing anymore?”

“No, I’m not in the mood,” the old man leaned against the sofa, looking a bit worn down.

Jian Yufei suddenly felt a pang of guilt. Their grandfather was growing old, and yet here he was, constantly worrying about them, so much for filial piety.

A thought came to her, and she stepped forward, taking his hand in hers. Squatting by his side, she smiled sincerely, “Grandfather, I’m really okay.”

The old man gave her a puzzled look, at which she continued, “Grandfather, with your old age, you should enjoy your tranquillity. Kids have their own luck. Some things simply can’t be forced.”

The old man was taken aback. He stared at Jian Yufei for a moment before giving her a knowing smile.

“Yufei, you genuinely understand things. Ruan Tianling doesn’t know how fortunate he is to have you. Sooner or later, he’ll regret it.”

He had experienced many ups and downs throughout his life and knew what truly mattered most.

Unfortunately, Ruan Tianling didn’t understand that a painful lesson was inevitable before he would be able to recognize his mistakes.

“Grandfather, Miss Yan is also a good person. In fact, it may not be a bad thing for Ruan Tianling to be with her,” Jian Yufei seized the opportunity to speak.

The old man’s face immediately darkened, “She is a good person, but she’s not suitable for Tianling, nor for the Ruan Family.”

Having said that, the old man stood up and left.

Jian Yufei was left standing, puzzled. From her perspective, Yan Yue genuinely was a good match.

She was beautiful, came from a good family, and was talented. Most importantly, she and Ruan Tianling were in love. Why then, was she not suitable for Ruan Tianling or the Ruan Family?
