While Mother Shen was thinking about asking her husband later about the sudden decision, the same time Mingyu was thinking about talking to his Grandpa after supper.
After finishing his soup, Mingyu slowly opened the Grandpa's bedroom door and asked him
"Grandpa, Are you awake, can we speak for few minutes"
Mingyu is more close to his grandfather than his own parents. so he know that he will get answer from him if he Grandpa knows.
" Son, come inside and Sit here" Grandpa patted on the bed and gestured him to sit.
He sat and look at his old man, he felt like he is looking at his own reflection. Mingyu looks like his grandfather duplicate. This is one of the reasons, his Grandma is very fond of her Elder Grandson.
Mingyu didn't know how to start the conversation.
Grandpa Shen, Kept the book he was reading down and patted on his Grandson shoulders and said
"Ming dear, don't think too much. This arrangement was not to hurt you. This is because your father doesn't want you to get hurt. He heard from his sources that there is threat to your life again. Me and father don't want history to repeat itself. Your father don't want to send you away to special forces or study abroad like previous times. he feels guilty for sending you away, so this time he wanted to keep you closer. You might have government security detail following you on discreetly to keep you safe"
"But Grandpa, I don't understand the sudden need. what happened for sudden threat. Everything is happening as usual at my end"
Mingyu thought the arrival of Ling shouldn't bring any trouble. But he was wrong.
Grandpa gave a witty chuckle and said
"Mingyu, you cannot fool me, don't forget I'm your grandfather afterall. Without taking a haste decision, take a look at these two sets of pics. I received two sets and your father received just one of them"
Mingyu's was not surprised to see the pics. He knows already someone tailed him when he was with Ling. But he was surprised by the trouble it brought along.
Reading his Grandson's thoughts, Grandpa Shen continued
"Fu Ming created a lot of problem. I guess she was the one sent the pics to me and your father through her father's secret team.
Her father is trying to gather few more people and check with your father for a meeting to talk about your marriage."
"Why Meeting now Grandpa"
" My dear precious Grandson, Everyone knows that you are filal Son. Yours Father's word is your command. so if they get to you through your father is much easier, same goes for me too. Some of my friends were trying to reconnect with me, that's why I have created this sick drama and shifted here, plus I need some rest. don't you agree"
" Yes, you definitely deserve some rest. is this sudden commotion because all these while they taught I never went out with any girl and now they saw me with Ling. they are thinking, I m ready for a relationship or marriage. How lame it's Grandpa" Shen Mingyu was frustrated because unnecessarily people are trying to invade his privacy and he didn't want trouble his father as well this way.
Grandpa understood his grandson views and pacified his anger. " Don't worry about these nonsense people, Your father wanted to takecare off these people so that you can be relaxed. I know you promised Yingjie that you will take care of her. Me and your Mom promised her grandma that you will take off her too. I m sure that by now your father also might be aware about her existence after seeing the pics"
Mingyu was speechless by the action of his family. He felt sudden rush of happiness inside by their affection, especially his from his father. He had always look up to him.
" Grandpa, I will not take any action from my side. I will let you guys handle the matter, So Don't worry."
"That sounds like my boy, we know very well that you can handle all these issues in a blink of an eye. in the meanwhile you can concentrate on Ling instead, so tell me when are you bringing the girl home. I'm dying to meet my first Grand daughter in law. "
Shen Mingyu face beamed by mentioning of Ling. Grandfather noticed and he is finally happy to see smile on his Grandson's face.
"Sure Grandpa, very soon you will meet her".
Later he reached his room and texted Jiang Yu, but no reply came from him. He assumed that his friend might be busy with his little cousin.
Then he thought for some time and send another message. Now that's for Ling.
"Dear Ling, I was very thrilled to accompany you today. I hoped you enjoyed your surprise. I will not be able to join you tomorrow, Since I have few important meeting to attend. Takecare of yourself, don't hesitate to call me for anything, Always Mingyu"
He put his phone down, but his thoughts were with Ling. He remembered how delicate her hands were and he couldn't express his feeling when she leaned on his shoulder. he wanted to more and more such time with her.
His phone buzzed, he lifted to see if Ling replied. But instead he got a message from his father.
" Mingyu, Send Fu Ming away from the company, I have spoken to her father already. No problems will arise"
He understood and replied back"Okay Father"
if he wants, he can torture Fu Ming and humiliate her. But he felt, This is not time for revenge. True happiness is not in showing off wealth, Power and Status, it lies with the time spent with loved ones. It doesn't mean, let your guard down and have only fun. It means cherish the time with your loved ones whenever life gives you an opportunity.
