Chapter: 5689

Having finished speaking, he bowed again to Ye Chen and said respectfully: "Mr. Ye, I'll take my leave first!"

Lin Wan'er smiled and said, "Tell the young master that the children we've adopted are mostly nameless, abandoned babies. We can't verify their original surnames either, so I don't want to let them take my surname, lest it cause trouble. So I wrote all the surnames on a piece of paper, rolled them into small balls, and then let them pick one themselves; whoever picks which one gets that surname."

Ye Chen asked awkwardly, "Is this really arbitrary?"

Lin Wan'er curiously retorted, "Why not? If we were to give them names ourselves, what if they grow up disliking them? That would be a source of complaints. So I let them pick their own surnames; it's only fair and reasonable. Not only do they get to choose their own surname, but I also get to play along and have some fun."

Ye Chen nodded slightly, though his mouth didn't say much, but his heart felt that Lin Wan'er, despite having lived nearly 400 years, still had a very strong girl's spirit or maybe she was really like what she said - her thoughts and ways of living were still those of a girl.

At this moment, the elderly Old Zhang ran down the stone stairs.

His body, to be honest, couldn't quite support such physical activity anymore, but his heart was racing with excitement, so his legs felt lightened by much.

Just as he arrived at the main hall on the next floor, where Qi Ying Shan and his grandson were having tea, Qi asked curiously, "Old Zhang, why are you running around like that? You're old enough to not worry about catching your breath...?"

Old Zhang grinned, gasping for air, and stammered excitedly, "Oh... oh... it's a big piece of news!"

Qi put down his tea cup, laughing merrily, "What kind of news is this, Old Zhang? Are you getting married?"

Old Zhang flashed him a glance, then scolded, "You're really like a dog who can't spew out ivory from its mouth!"

As he spoke, Old Zhang walked slowly to their tea table and sat down, looking at them with a serious face. He said, "I feel like Miss is getting a little sentimental!"

Qi Xing Shan and Sun Zhi Dong were both taken aback and couldn't speak!

The two of them unconsciously took a step back, and Sun Zhi Dong looked at Old Zhang and asked directly, "Old Zhang, you said Miss got sentimental, what kind of sentimental are we talking about?"

Old Zhang spoke in a low tone, "Do you remember what our greatest wish was when the three of us were together?"

Qi Xing Shan replied without hesitation, "Of course it's to hope that Miss can find her true love and settle down, so she won't be lonely for the rest of her life!"

"Right!" Sun Zhi Dong couldn't help but sigh. "I've been thinking about this for many years... when we were ten, we used to play with Miss; from 10 to 20, we would accompany Miss playing, and after we grew up a bit, Miss was still that eternal 17-year-old girl... at that time, we started hoping that one day she could find her own life's destination..."

As he spoke, Sun Zhi Dong looked at Old Zhang and asked directly, "Old Zhang, you just said Miss got sentimental, is it related to this?"

Old Zhang nodded excitedly, speaking in a low tone, "Mr. Ye Chen, he is currently in Miss's boudoir, and I think it must be that Miss just came back with her helicopter from outside..."

"Chen Qing Mountain furrowed his brow and said, 'Miss has been gone for a long time and just came back, so it's probably to see Ye Chen! I remember Miss saying that she couldn't let Ye Chen know that she still remembered him, how could she go see him at this late hour? And now she's taking him to her private garden, doesn't she fear that Ye Chen will find out?'"

Old Zhang spoke in a low tone: "Fear? She has already told him everything about herself!"

"What?"

Both of them listened to this and were even more shocked with their eyes wide open.

Sun Zhi Dong exclaimed in surprise: "Miss... Miss has told him all her secrets?!"

"All said!" Old Zhang nodded heavily: "As Miss said, it's a sincere meeting, and... and..." JrNovels.com
