Chapter 399 Chance Encounter
Some things are special, and once they become too special...

It will only become a deadly sword.

Therefore, Gu Jianing will never make this special status public, nor will she allow the tip of this sword to be pointed at herself and her family.

"Don't worry, it's alright. Wen Zhuqing is a madwoman. No one would believe a madwoman," Gu Jianing reassured Sheng Zexi.

Is Wen Zhuqing a madman?
Sheng Zexi murmured to himself, pondering the meaning of those words.

I think Ningning must have some way to do it.

"Okay," Sheng Zexi agreed.

In the following days, their family life seemed to settle down.

There has been no news from Wen Zhuqing's side yet.

Gu Jianing shuttled between Beijing University and Beijing First Hospital.

Sheng Zexi also returned to the military region.

After telling Sheng Zexi about the matter that night, Li Tingxuan returned to the Li family.

His grandfather's health is not very good; he has needed to rest in bed recently. The doctor said that the old man's health is not very good.

It's estimated to be in the next few years.

Li Tingxuan also knew that the incident had been a huge blow to the Li family and to his grandfather.

At that time, my grandfather was in good health and spirits.

But now, that's not working.

However, the old man was very happy to see Li Tingxuan return, and his spirits improved considerably.

Just ...

"Tingxuan, aren't you planning to get married yet?" Old Master Li asked.

Li Tingxuan was stunned for a moment, unsure how to answer.

Li Tingxuan had always thought that he would marry someone he liked.

After regaining his memories of his previous life, his heart was completely devoted to Gu Jianing.

Although he has been trying to let go of his feelings for Gu Jianing over the past few years, he knows that there is no possibility between him and Gu Jianing.

but……

So far, apart from Gu Jianing, he has truly not met anyone else who has moved him or whom he likes.

If you don't like someone or love them, how can you spend your whole life together?

Li Tingxuan's eyes held a bitter look.

Old Master Li noticed the hint of bitterness in his eyes.

Having weathered many storms, his senses are keen.

"You do have feelings for someone, but you can't be together?"

Li Tingxuan was surprised, never expecting that his grandfather had seen through it.

"Grandpa, I..."

He wanted to deny it, but he knew he couldn't fool his grandfather.

"Yes, Grandpa, she got married a long time ago and has children. She has a stable career and a loving marriage."

In that case, how could he possibly interfere?

Grandpa Li never expected things to turn out this way.

"So you plan to never get married?" Old Master Li's tone was calm.

"Grandpa, I... I told you before that I wanted to find someone I love to spend my life with."

Old Master Li sighed.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Alright, then it's up to you. You don't have to get married, and Grandpa won't force you."

Li Tingxuan was taken aback. "Grandpa, shouldn't you say that I am the only son of the Li family and should get married as soon as possible to carry on the Li family line?"

Grandpa Li smiled, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile. "Grandpa used to think that way, but now, Grandpa has figured it out. There's no point in forcing things."

“Tingxuan, you were raised by your grandfather. Your grandfather knows that. You know how important the Li family is to your grandfather.”

"But, doesn't Grandpa have any feelings for you?"

"Whatever choice you make, Grandpa still hopes you can be happy. If you can be happy without getting married, then let's not get married."

Since the Li family began to decline, Old Master Li has become quite accepting of the situation. Now, only he and Tingxuan remain in the Li family, relying on each other for survival. Why bother fighting each other anymore?

"Grandpa, don't worry, if I meet a girl I like in the future, I won't run away from her," Li Tingxuan said.

Whether we'll actually meet is another matter.

Let fate decide.

"it is good."

After spending time with the old man, Li Tingxuan went out to buy some things.

But then, they heard a slightly familiar voice.

"Brother Tingxuan, is that you?"

Li Tingxuan turned around and saw the person who had spoken.

It was none other than Fang Manping.

Not only Fang Manping, but there was also a young man next to her, and the two seemed quite intimate.

"It's you, Miss Fang."

“Yes, Brother Tingxuan, it’s been a long time. You’ve recently returned to Beijing?” Fang Manping asked.

"Yes, I'm back to visit relatives, and I'll be going back soon."

"By the way, this is my husband, Chu Cheng."

Fang Manping introduced the two of them.

Li Tingxuan and Chu Cheng nodded to each other.

"Brother Tingxuan, you must be busy, so I won't keep you any longer. Let's get together again next time?" Fang Manping said.

"Good." Li Tingxuan looked Fang Manping up and down and said, "It seems you've had a good time these past two years. That's good."

Fang Manping recalled the past, feeling as if it were all just a fleeting memory.

She smiled and said, "Yes, I'm doing quite well now."

She was studying her favorite major at university and had a loving and caring husband; her life was peaceful and sweet.

This kind of life is indeed much better than before.

"I also want to thank Brother Tingxuan for his guidance back then."

Back then, she confessed her feelings to Li Tingxuan without regard for anything else.

Although Li Tingxuan rejected her.

However, his rejection was too gentle, and even though Fang Manping was unwilling, she could only let it go.

Moreover, what he said back then made Fang Manping realize a lot and understand what she wanted.

I also understand that if a person wants to live well and be loved by others, they must first love themselves.

Therefore, Fang Manping was grateful to Li Tingxuan.

It was precisely because of Li Tingxuan's actions that he was able to correct his past mistakes in time.

And now, she has the life she wanted.

Although she liked Li Tingxuan very much back then.

However, she has let it go in the past two years.

Moreover, she also met someone she loved.

However, she was still grateful to Li Tingxuan.

Li Tingxuan shook his head, said nothing more, and left.

As Fang Manping watched Li Tingxuan's retreating figure, her eyes were filled with anticipation, hoping that Li Tingxuan, who had been kind to her, would be doing well.

"Brother Tingxuan, you seem very grateful to him?" Her husband, Chu Cheng, noticed Fang Manping's emotions and couldn't help but ask.

"Yes," Fang Manping readily admitted, "If it weren't for Brother Tingxuan's guidance back then, I wouldn't be who I am today..."

Fang Manping spoke frankly about what happened back then.

She knew that her husband was a tolerant person and not petty.

Of course, she also recounted Li Tingxuan's rejection of her and the words he had said to her.

Chu Cheng indeed didn't mind.

However, he never expected that Manping and this soldier named Li Tingxuan would have such an interaction.
