Chapter 381, Episode 0412: A True Couple

The old man initially favored Zhou Hansheng because Zhou Hansheng had the image of being refined yet witty, truly a gentleman as beautiful as jade, unparalleled in the world.

He has a bit of a "younger version of Old Zhou" vibe.

The person the old man admired most was Old Zhou.

His beloved grandson has a rather aloof personality, and he thinks someone like Zhou Hansheng would be a good match for him.

Huo Han always gave him the impression of being too cold and hard. His abilities were undeniable, but his personality gave people the feeling that he would never care about others.

The old man didn't want his beloved granddaughter to be unhappy in her marriage, so when he was looking for a husband for her, besides objective reasons, the most important thing was that he had to find someone who cared for her.

At first, Huo Han was at a disadvantage because he was not in Beijing for most of the year.

Zhou Hansheng is not a fool; on the contrary, he is very shrewd, understands his own position, and knows how to choose the most advantageous option for himself in marriage.

Lin Yuexi is not only valued and pampered by several elders, but she also has the Leng family behind her, and she herself is on the path of becoming a pioneer from a scientific research genius.

Lin Yuexi is already at the pinnacle of her generation; only a fool wouldn't want to marry her.

Unfortunately, Lin Yuexi was very busy, and her work was all confidential. Even Zhou Hansheng, who was a 'prince', was not qualified to approach her at will, nor could he inquire about her, otherwise it would be detrimental to him.

However, since they couldn't attack her directly, they decided to target the person she valued most. So, for a period of time, Zhou Hansheng frequently visited the old man under various pretexts.

At one point, the old man rated him and Huo Han as a balance scale, with one end being iron and the other a feather.

Conversely, another 'prince', Huo Han, was able to frequently get close to Lin Yuexi due to the convenience of his work.

However, Huo Han was not as tactful as Zhou Hansheng in his dealings with people. He did not try to please the old man. Even when he did meet the old man, he always treated it as a business matter.

However, the old man was not easily swayed. Although he was very satisfied with Zhou Hansheng's usual performance, he himself was a veteran who had gone through the military transfer process and knew that most of the performances he put on when playing games were just for show.

Zhou Hansheng's identity was somewhat special, so even the old man couldn't pry too much into him.

But there are still several elders up there!
When Huo Han clearly expressed his desire to pursue Lin Yuexi, and Zhou Hansheng also showed his interest in becoming Leng's son-in-law, the higher-ups were worried that their actions would affect Lin Yuexi, so Old Zhou conducted a thorough investigation into the two of them.

Both of them are good at both work and have good skills, no problem;

Both of them are capable of working;

It seems like either option is fine.

However, if we only look at it from the perspective of the marital relationship, Zhou Hansheng's actions are somewhat inappropriate.

He was almost perfect in public, a gentleman to everyone, and therefore, many women were interested in him.

His attitude towards those women was fine from a work perspective, but from the perspective of a son-in-law, not only did the old man think he was too sentimental, but even the old man Long told the old man Zhou that he was too tactful and not decisive enough, which might lead to disaster.

Huo Han's attitude towards women is the complete opposite of Zhou Hansheng's. Huo Han is too ruthless, giving no face to women who are interested in him, giving people the impression that he is immoral.

But Old Master Long and the old man were very satisfied with his attitude. Knowing that the girl was interested in him, if he didn't have any feelings for her, it would be right to decisively reject her and let her give up on the idea. As for whether the girl would lose face, Huo Han wasn't the kind of person who would say something harsh from the start. He only became a bit cheeky when he was bothered by her. Why should he give her face when he encountered someone like that?!

So, after discussing it with Old Master Zhou, the old man also excluded Zhou Hansheng. The original plan to introduce Lin Yuexi to Zhou Hansheng upon her return was also abandoned because Zhou Hansheng was excluded.

That's why Old Master Huo brought Huo Han to his home for a blind date.

No one expected the two to act so quickly. What was originally just a blind date turned into a decision to get married.

Everything about Lin Yuexi was under the watchful eyes of those above. Huo Han did indeed show signs of pursuing her fervently, but Lin Yuexi's attitude remained ambiguous. She never showed any interest in anyone. Many of the gifts Huo Han gave her were received by Xu Shan on her behalf, and Lin Yuexi put them aside without even looking at them. This was because Lin Yuexi wouldn't waste any of her brainpower on these so-called feelings during her work hours.

Therefore, including the old man, everyone thought that Lin Yuexi hadn't figured things out yet, or that her mind was focused on scientific research and she had no other thoughts besides scientific research.

This is why Old Zhou forced her to take a vacation, and then Old Leng immediately arranged a blind date for her.

The idea is to have her temporarily put aside her research and focus on her personal life first.

Those who know Lin Yuexi's talent and abilities all hope that her talent and abilities can be passed on, and the best way to pass them on is naturally through genetic inheritance.

Another point is that the elderly people share similar thoughts with the old man: people can't deny getting old, and they won't be able to protect the girl for several years. They won't feel at ease if they don't arrange the girl's future while they are still alive.

Personally, they had watched Lin Yuexi grow up; they were all her grandfathers, though not related by blood, and naturally hoped that she would have a bright future.

As far as the government is concerned, the destructive power of a person who can lead technology is greater than that of several divisions. They do not want the little girl to be forced to become the enemy of the country that they have all worked so hard to build, one day after they pass away.

After thinking a lot, yet seemingly thinking of nothing at all, the old man let out a soft sigh.

Fortunately, everything now at least appears to be moving in the direction they believe to be a win-win situation.

The two went downstairs and heard the sound of a television coming from the bottom of the stairs. Looking down, they saw Huo Han sitting there, ostensibly watching TV, but actually with his eyes unfocused, seemingly lost in thought, occasionally laughing in a somewhat... flirtatious way.

Old man/Old Zhang: "..."

Although we've all been through it and should understand, why does it still feel so unpleasant to look at?

Huo Han was still alert and had already noticed the old man's presence. He turned off the TV, stood up, and respectfully greeted, "Grandpa."

The old man had always been carefree, and he was actually a little unaccustomed to Huo Han's respectful yet reserved attitude. However, Huo Han had always been quite busy, and he hadn't had the chance to catch him and talk things out.

"Don't be so serious. You and my dear grandson are already married. This is your own home. Do what you would do at home here."

Huo Han sat upright, his back as straight as a line, his legs slightly apart, and his hands placed on his knees—a standard military posture.

The reply was also very firm and straightforward: "I understand, Grandpa."

Old man: “…”

You know nothing.

However, the old man also understood that Huo Han's military habits were ingrained in his bones and could not be changed overnight, and he had never thought of changing that aspect of him.

That's him, I hope he won't be so stubborn when facing his wife.

His precious granddaughter is so delicate and sweet, yet she's paired with such a tough husband. It seems like she'll be subjected to domestic violence.
