"Why are you still babbling on with endless questions?
Everythingâs been said, why donât you just leave!"
Ji Youze: "..." He confirmed this was definitely not his biological child.
"I shouldnât have let Suisui fish you up from the Lotus Pond!" Having said that, he then turned to Suisui and said, "Escort Uncle Eight out! This little old man, I really donât want to deal with him anymore!"
Ji Shang: "..."
Xiaosuisui obediently did as she was told and sent Ji Youze out of the Dream Realm.
Seeing his troublesome son leave, Ji Shang chuckled as he looked at his precious granddaughter.
"Suisui! Your grandmother..."
Xiaosuisui knew what her grandfather was thinking, giggled, and brought in Lady Ji.
Ji Shang was very nervous, first standing up to tidy his clothes, making sure there was nothing amiss, before cautiously looking at his wife who had just been brought in by Xiaosuisui!
Lady Ji and Ji Shang were not from the same world.
Ji Shang was a distinguished figure in the Cultivation Realm, reaching the Second Grade as an Immortal, not an average person by any means, and of course, in terms of age...
Lady Ji was not a cultivator, or rather, not successful in cultivation; the Yun Family was inherently a family of cultivators.
Yun Wan naturally learned a few things. Her aptitude wasnât poor, but in this place shielded from the Celestial Dao, she was destined not to succeed young. Apart from looking younger than the average elderly woman, time still left marks on her face!
Lady Ji stood there, looking at the familiar and missed face, instinctively stepping back, her face full of disbelief!
"Wan...Wanwan!"
Seeing the person he dreamt of day and night, Ji Shang became emotional, calling out Lady Jiâs maiden name and approaching her excitedly.
"Donât come any closer, stay where you are!"
Seeing Ji Shang, Lady Jiâs emotions were a bit stirred, subconsciously shaking her head, eyes full of disbelief, despite Xiaosuisui having previously explained clearly that sheâs here to meet her husband separated for over a decade.
Yet she couldnât have imagined the husband she saw, unchanged for ten years, apart from his slightly greying hair, his appearance hadnât changed a bit, while on the other hand, although her hair wasnât very white, it had some grey strands, and her face had wrinkled skin.
Vision somewhat blurred, body slackened, standing face to face with Ji Shang, they didnât resemble a married couple; Ji Shangâs age looked about the same as Ji Youyuanâs!
"Wanwan!" Ji Shangâs voice was trembling.
His hand was extended in mid-air, unable to retract it for a long time!
"Wanwan, itâs me!
Ji Shang, your Shang!"
Ji Shangâs voice quivered, lips moving, but Yun Wan couldnât hear what he was saying!
"Wanwan! Wanwan! Did you hear what I said?"
Xiaosuisui swam a few laps in the Lotus Pond and noticed something off with her grandmother, so she climbed ashore from the Lotus Pond.
"Grandmother, whatâs wrong?"
She stretched out her small hand, tugging at Lady Jiâs garment hem, and raised her little head looking at her!
Her big eyes, like black grapes, blinking full of curiosity.
Lady Ji reached out to pat her little hand paw, soothing her.
"Play by yourself for a while, then send Grandmother back later!"
Xiaosuisui pursed her lips, asking with bewilderment: "Grandmother, are you unhappy? Why?"
Lady Ji gently stroked the little hair bun on her head, coaxing her: "Grandmother is fine, Suisui dear, let Grandmother talk alone with this person!"
Xiaosuisui didnât want to leave initially, but Lady Jiâs expression was extremely serious, and Xiaosuisui sensed her non-negotiable attitude, so she nodded and jumped back into the Lotus Pond!
"Wanwan! These years..." Ji Shang paused midway, finally uttering a few words "Youâve suffered!"
Lady Ji looked at him steadily, gave a bitter smile, and said: "Itâs all over now, the children have grown safely, and now thereâs a sweet little darling like Suisui, the eldestâs wife is expecting twins, about to give birth soon!"
Lady Jiâs voice was soft, as if chatting with an ordinary person, unlike meeting a long-separated husband!
The distance between Ji Shang and her stood far apart; hearing his wifeâs soft words, he instinctively opened his mouth, calling softly "Wanwan!"
Lady Ji just silently watched him, hands tucked into sleeves, unmoving, yet her words were hurtful.
"You and I are people of two worlds now, having met today, and probably wonât again!
If you have anything to ask, anything you want to hear, you can ask Suisui, or ask the eldest, the seventh, and the eighth!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Shangâs heart ached fiercely, and he instinctively clutched his chest, murmuring lowly, "What do you mean by this?"
