Chapter 314: Date and Get Married as Soon as Possible

All of a sudden, Master Zhai was at a loss for words. He didn’t even know what questions to ask.

And thus, he turned his head to question Yu Xi with a huff: “What’s wrong with you?”

Yu Xi hung his head. He didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.

Yu Xi felt quite upset. It wasn’t his fault that Master Sheng refused to cooperate with him… He could only do something like this to get by with the task that Master Zhai had given him…

Other than God Ling, Master Sheng refused to let any other woman get too close to him.

If Master Sheng was interested in playing around with women, he wouldn’t have only been able to capture a picture of him and God Ling…

“Ahhh, forget it,” Master Zhai said. He couldn’t do anything about this anyway. The main problem wasn’t with Yu Xi. It was with his only grandson…

He had initially thought that his grandson had finally been enlightened.

However, that was just his own imagination. He was happy for nothing…

Then, Master Zhai turned around and said to Jian Yiling, “It’s all right. Little girl, you can go back now.”

Jian Yiling didn’t ask about what was going on. She left as soon as Master Zhai told her to go.

As soon as Jian Yiling left, Master Zhai pointed at Zhai Yunsheng’s nose and continued to nag him: “You brat, why can’t you be enlightened in those things? I’ve told you several times already that you need to date as soon as possible! Then, you can get married at the first opportunity!”

However, Zhai Yunsheng was already used to Master Zhai’s nagging. As he listened to Master Zhai’s words, he started to become sleepy.

The mood of Master Zhai sank as he looked at his grandson.

He gave up on nagging. Then, he called out to Yu Simiao to join him in a nearby room.

Yu Simiao followed behind Master Zhai.

“Have a seat,” Master Zhai told Yu Simiao. Only then, Yu Simiao dared to sit down.

However, even after he sat down, Yu Simiao didn’t dare to relax.

“Yunsheng has been troubling you for the last few days. Thank you for taking care of him,” Master Zhai said. He expressed his gratitude towards Yu Simiao.

“You’re welcome. It’s no trouble at all.”

“Don’t say it’s no trouble. I know him better than you do,” Master Zhai replied. He let out a long sigh before he continued: “Do you think that I’m pressuring him to get married so we can have a descendant for our Zhai family?”

Yu Simiao did not dare to answer this question. Instead, he sat upright and waited for Master Zhai to continue.

Master Zhai continued to speak: “If I really wanted to have a descendant for the Zhai family, it’d be more useful for me to force his second uncle to give me another grandchild. I do want a great-grandchild. However, I want him to be reluctant to leave this world.”

Perhaps, if he had a wife and a child, he would value his life more.

In his life, Master Zhai had seen a lot of things. In the eyes of outsiders, there was nothing he could not do.

However, who knew the bitterness in the heart of the old man.

There were only a few people left in the Zhai family. His eldest son and daughter-in-law had left this world already.

His only grandson also had little attachment to this world. He refused to take his life seriously.

In the face of Master Zhai’s heartfelt words, Yu Simiao did not dare to speak.

He was just an outsider. It was not his place to say anything about the Zhai family’s affairs.

Master Zhai continued to lament: “I want him to find someone that can understand him. I want him to find someone that he wants to protect and love. If he finds someone like that, he would treasure his own life more.”

“Master Zhai, please don’t worry. Master Sheng is still young. He’ll definitely find someone like that.”

“I’m afraid that I won’t even have a chance to wait! He’s going to kill himself somehow before he finds someone like that!”

Master Zhai’s eyes were filled with helplessness.

After lamenting about his grandson, Master Zhai asked Yu Simiao about something that had nothing to do with the Zhai family. However, this matter had been a hotly discussed topic in the capital for a while:

“By the way, do you know that the Qin family sent someone to Hengyuan City to look for their illegitimate son?”
