Secret Marriage - L.K Adaptation

93.

461. Pierced by a Bullet

Old Master Li was taken aback and turned around.

His murky old eyes flashed as he said, "When did I say that?"

"Just then, when we were sitting on the sofa," Mu Jungkook spoke slowly and steadily. "When you asked whether my grandfather knew we were married."

He looked straight at Old Master Li and continued, "Ah Li is not a child of the Li Family."

He spoke with no uncertainty.

The old man's eyes flashed even more vividly now, as he turned away from Mu Jungkook.

He said nothing to deny or admit the matter.

However, his reaction told Mu Jungkook that he had
guessed correctly.

The silence went on for some time before Old Master Li spoke. "I heard that Lili has given you the talisman that she has been carrying since she was a child?"

Mu Jungkook's eyes glimmered faintly as he said in a quiet voice, "The coin in the amulet had been pierced by a bullet."

Old Master Li was stunned. Gloom came over his face as he asked, "And what about the item contained in it?"

As he spoke, he walked over to his desk, opened a drawer, and drew out a letter.

The old man unfolded the letter and raised his eyes to look at Mu Jungkook. His aged voice was deep and had a serious air about it. He said, "This."

He placed the unfolded letter before Mu Jungkook.

Mu Jungkook glanced at it and lifted his gaze. He told the old man earnestly, "There was nothing in it."

Lunch was ready very quickly with Li Lisa's help.

She laid the table with the various dishes and was just coming out of the kitchen with the rice when she saw her grandfather walking out of the study, supported by Mu Jungkook.

It looked like the two of them had a serious conversation.

Coming out of the room, their expressions were sober.

Having observed this, she did not ask any questions.

After lunch, Mu Jungkook played a few games of chess with her grandfather. It finally made the old man smile happily, and he was full of praises for Mu Jungkook once more.

They had come to Qian Zhou driving Li Lisa's little black Range Rover, for she was worried that Mu Jungkook Spyker would have been too loud for the occasion.

After they bade her grandfather farewell and had
gotten into the car, Li Lisa finally gushed. "What did you and Grandpa talk about?"

Mu Jungkook glanced at her and said casually, "We
talked about you."

"What about?"

His expression softened slightly when he noticed how curious she was. He reached out to help her buckle up, then said, "We discussed the arrangement of our blissful lives together in the future."

"Really?" Li Lisa was not convinced at all.

If they had discussed such a topic, why were their
expressions so serious?

"We discussed other things, just casual talk with Grandpa."

Alright, it sounds boring even just thinking about it.

No, that's not right.

Grandpa is a prude, and so is Mu Jungkook. When two prudes come together they should have lots to talk about.
