The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Manoban's Pampered Wife Book 5

Chapter 839: Warmth (4)

Not too long after lunch, Do Kyung went upstairs to his study room and Marco followed him closely behind.

At this moment, inside Do Kyung's study room, Do Kyung was smoking while Marco elegantly steeped some tea. Upon getting a whiff of the faint of smoke, Marco brought the steeped tea to Do Kyung. "Father, you haven't been well recently. You should smoke less and drink more nourishing beverages."

As Marco said that, he took the cigarette away from between Do Kyung's fingers and put it out in the ashtray on the side.

"It's fine. Your mother's been watching me. I don't smoke often anyway."

Do Kyung picked the tea up and took a sip. His aged eyes suddenly flickered with a faint light as he said in a deep voice, "I've gotten someone to find out more about Lis's matter this time. I'm sure you know more than a little about it too, don't you?"

Marco sighed and nodded. "I've heard from the police bureau, and know a bit more from Haruto."

"Sigh, it was a slip of the tongue. Unexpectedly, it caused such severe consequences. Thankfully, back then, Ah Rong had objected. Otherwise, we might have brought harm to Lis. We really can't be sure who did it this time. Was it Kim Joon? Or Ji Shung and the rest? Speaking of Ji Shung, right from the start I've always thought that he... was too shortsighted. He has deep suspicions, and you suffered some loss under him back then too. All these years, the Mus and the Gus relationship has been fading. This might not be a bad thing for us," Do Kyung lamented with some self-blame.

"Father, you don't need to blame yourself. The children all have their own thoughts. All these years, the Cho family hasn't been on good terms with us, especially when we reached Ji Shung's generation, so you don't have to care too much about it either. Actually, there isn't anything necessarily good about the so-called combining of prestigious families by marriage. Look at Kim Joon and Wang Qin. Were they not a tragedy? As long as the children are happy, right now they don't care about those things. They aren't living as conservatively as the older generation like us."

Marco thought about it, then lowered his head to take a sip of tea.

"You've got a point. As long as they're happy, yet there aren't many people that can be understood thoroughly. You don't know that all these years, every time I think about your sister's incident, I'd feel extremely pained, but I never dared bring this up in front of your mother. You know how this incident is like a thorn in her heart. All these years, Suho and Yeji... Thankfully, you and Ah Rong are understanding. Suho's matter has been a sore thorn in Lis's heart all these years. We can't rule out that the incident this time wasn't a trick from Kim Joon and the rest. I'm a little worried," said Kim Joon gloomily as he set his teacup aside.

"Father, alright, just leave these things for the children to worry about themselves. Why are you always thinking about this? Isn't it enough to just live life happily with Mother and me? About my sister, Suho's incident, and all of those things that have long passed, can't you just let them stay in the past?"

When Manoban Zixi was brought up, Marco's expression seemed broody.

"Tangchuan, you don't know that even though your mother doesn't say it, she's just like me. This is still an unfulfilled wish. I think Yeji and Ryujin's wedding can be sped up. Even though you and Ah Rong treat them like your own children..."

When Do Kyung said this, he suddenly could not continue. His aged eyes could not help but seem a little sorrowful.

When Marco saw that Do Kyung was rather downhearted, he served him more tea as he advised, "Father, alright, don't be sad now. There's still time. If you want to look for them, you'll still be able to."

"Do you not have any news at all?" Do Kyung looked up to Marco and asked.

News?

Ever since they found nothing out from before, he had not put in much thought into the investigation. If that man deliberately did not want to acknowledge his two children, even if he found him, what could he do? It would only add another burden to Yeji's heart.

Sometimes, ignorance was bliss.

Of course, Marco knew that Lisa and Yeji had been secretly trying to find him all these years, and he did not stop them either.

Knock knock!

Before Marco could answer, there was a rap on the door.

"Come in!"

As Do Kyung said that, Lisa's figure slowly appeared.

"Grandfather, Father," Lisa greeted simply, and then turned to close the door. After that, he walked over and sat down calm and collectedly.

"It looks like these past few days have been good for your spirit." Marco looked lovingly at Lisa as he poured him a cup of tea.

Lisa smiled calmly. "It's alright. Luckily, I could also sort out some things on my mind."

"I've roughly understood the incident from them. Who would have such guts to take you on?" As Do Kyung said that, his aged face turned rigid as a chill pervaded him all over.

"I can't be sure about that too. Don't worry, Grandfather. I'll handle it." Lisa lowered his gaze while his tone was quite calm, yet the light in his eyes flickered from dark to light.

"Lis, I know what you're thinking, but you don't have to take on the whole thing alone. It's easy to dodge the spear in the open, but hard to avoid a stab in the dark. Can you guarantee that this incident won't happen a second time? You have to be more careful. Jennie handled the company matters well. These few years, the Manoban family has been attracting much criticism. Tangchuan, you have to be more careful. Don't get caught as a topic for gossip. There are many eyes watching the two of you."

"Lis, be honest with me. Was this time's incident really the work of Kim Joon? As revenge for Sehun?"

"Grandfather, Father, there are many things I still can't be sure of, so I can't tell you the answers, but I do have something that I can tell you. Suho passed away in that car accident years ago while Miyeon and Sehun lived. Before this, I sent Ryujin and Yeji to France to investigate this."

When Lisa finished, Do Kyung and Marco's expressions sank.

Lisa sighed. He looked down at the teacup before him. Moments after that, he suddenly got up slowly and said with waning interest, "He's not doing too well. In fact, he might be returning soon. I hope that you two won't interfere with this. Just let me resolve the grudges between us. I don't want to implicate so many people. There's been too many who were involved all these years. I don't want to blow these grudges up, and I hope that you can both agree to this request of mine..."

Then, without waiting for their answers, Lisa's clear figure vanished out of the door.
