《Return To The Past: I Won't Choose Humility This Time!》Chapter 43: Take Yun Xi Away
Advertisement
Old Master Yun always knew that the second son of Old Master Zhou was filial and steady. He had always been obedient. Zhou Lin would not act rudely like Zhou Mo, but at the same time, this was also what Old Master Yun was most worried about.
"Second son of the Zhou family, do you really want to marry Yun Xi?"
In order not to delay the relationships of his children and grandchildren, Old Master Yun did not randomly match them with others as Old Master Zhou did. On the contrary, he was very clear-headed. Old Master Yun chose to first ask for the opinions of the parties involved. Due to the previous incident, Old Master Yun did not want to make things difficult for Old Master Zhou anymore.
"Yes, I really want to marry Yun Xi as my wife." Zhou Lin said each word clearly, his eyes filled with determination.
"I understand your concern, Old Master. My father had agreed on an engagement with the Yun family previously, but because of my nephew's rude behavior, the marriage between the two families could not proceed smoothly. You're probably thinking that I was ordered to take over the mess that my nephew left behind and was forced to marry Yun Xi."
Zhou Lin spoke the old master's mind.
Old Master Yun felt that this young man could see through people's hearts. He looked resolute on the outside, but he was very meticulous on the inside. He was a good candidate for a son-in-law. Zhou Lin was much better than his arrogant nephew, Zhou Mo.
"Yes, I'm just afraid that a joke between Brother Zhou and I will delay your happiness." Old Master Yun let out a long sigh.
"Old Master, you don't have to worry. Although I haven't had any in-depth contact with Yun Xi, I knew from the last time we met that she's not as unbearable as my nephew had said. She had..."

Zhou Lin paused for a moment before continuing, "Saying that it was love at first sight is a little unrealistic, but I have indeed been attracted to Yun Xi. My heart tells me that I want to build a family with her."
In the end, Zhou Lin chose to keep the matter of Yun Xi treating his leg injury a secret from the Yun family's old master. This was because during his previous trip to the Yun family's home, he could tell that the girl had a hard time living in the family.
At that moment, Zhou Lin felt a strong desire to protect her. He hoped that in the future, with him around, Yun Xi could choose to do whatever she wanted and not be trapped in this world with her hands tied.
"Good, good. I'm relieved."
The old master of the Yun family stood up with difficulty and closed the red box with the emerald bracelet. Then, he put the box into Zhou Lin's hands again.
"Such an expensive thing shouldn't be given to an old man like me. You should hand it to my granddaughter, Yun Xi."
"Okay."
Zhou Lin took the box from the Yun family's old master and put it in his chest pocket again.
"Old Master, to tell you the truth, I have another request."
For the first time, Zhou Lin felt nervous. He crossed his hands on his legs repeatedly, hoping that he could dry the sweat on his palms.
"Tell me what it is. Our family will do our best."
Looking at Zhou Lin's handsome face, Old Master Yun seemed to see the young Old Master Zhou in him, so he did not hesitate to agree to this young man's request.
"Old Master, you misunderstood. It's not a difficult thing."

Zhou Lin rubbed the sweat on his palms again and said slowly.
"Old Master, you know my situation as well. I'm about to turn 30, so I definitely can't get along with Yun Xi like her peers. Besides, the nature of my job determines that I may frequently travel and not be at home. Therefore, there aren't many opportunities for us to develop a relationship. I heard that there's still some time before Yun Xi starts school. I want to take advantage of this summer vacation to invite her to the Zhou family as a guest and at the same time develop our relationship. I hope that you'll allow me to do so."
Old Master Yun looked at the sincere face of the young man in front of him and nodded.
"l agree. However, whether or not Yun Xi will go with you as a guest, you'll still need to invite her yourself."
"I know."
After saying that, Old Master Yun used the excuse that he was not feeling well to send away the younger generation of the Zhou family, allowing Zhou Lin to spend time with Yun Xi..

RE: DEVTHOR
From a certain author's perspective, the world he lived in had always been a boring uninteresting place. If asked if he could name one good thing about it, he probably couldn't. Up until forty, he lived in complete isolation and solitude, but he never once regretted or felt dissatisfied about the kind of life he lived. But despite being content with such a lifestyle, it seems some god... or perhaps some busybody devil galavanting about playing pretend god was immensely dissatisfied with the way he lived his life and wanted to play a sick joke on him by sending him back to his first day in high school after he died a mysterious death. Approached by a suspicious red-haired girl shortly after awakening and recognizing where he was, he's abruptly given a second chance at a youth filled with romance. But what does this forty years old man turned sixteen do when confronted with youth? He flips youth off and tells it to take a hike, he's having none of it. If there was some sort of godly existence watching over him from somewhere unknown, their only natural reaction would be to facepalm and question what was wrong with this incompetent romanceless idiot who knew nothing of love. Low fantasy only really starts to appear around volume 3. Presently there are 7 volumes for this series totaling about 850k words.
