Defrosting The Cold Young Master-Chapter 296 - 297: The Fish is Hooked!

Chapter 297: The Fish is Hooked!

Translator: 549690339

“What are the chances?” Senior Master Xiang shook his head with a laugh, “In this vast world, nothing is impossible, things can be similar, people can resemble each other, it’s all very normal. Your Aunt Xiang was her parents’ only child. When she was young, her parents passed away. My father was still young then, and he was good friends with your Aunt Xiang’s parents. Seeing your Aunt Xiang all alone and pitiful, he brought her to our home. One thing led to another, and we fell in love and got married after we came of age.”

As he mentioned the past shared with his wife, the corners of his lips curved into a reminisce-filled smile.

Ye Xingbei could tell that the old man loved his wife very much.

It’s a pity that the two were now in separate worlds, unable to grow old together.

Senior Master Xiang was engrossed in his reminiscing, wanting to say something more, when Gu Junzhu suddenly raised his hand, and a large fish was hoisted out of the water, tail flapping.

Xiao Shumiao’s big, clear eyes widened, and he clapped his hands and jumped for joy, “Daddy caught a big fish! Such a big, big fish!”

Gu Junzhu flicked his wrist, and the big fish was tossed onto the shore, flopping wildly on the grass.

The child let out a cheer, happily running over to pick it up.

He squatted down, unafraid, and hugged the big fish, flashing a brilliant smile at Gu Junzhu, “Daddy, it’s such a big, big fish!”

His white, jade-like face broke into a smile as brilliant as a sunlight carved from jade. Because of happiness and excitement, his cheeks flushed a rosy color, and holding a big fish, he reminded Gu Junzhu of a child holding a red koi carp in the New Year paintings from his childhood.

The warmth was visible in Gu Junzhu’s eyes as he beckoned to the child.

The child cheerfully ran to him. Gu Junzhu tousled the child’s hair and gave a peck on his forehead — he simply couldn’t get enough of him.

This child must be some kind of enchantment.

Every time he thought he couldn’t love the child more, he would discover after a while that he could.

Seeing the affectionate interaction between “father and son,” Ye Xingbei also warmed up with a smile.

Senior Master Xiang looked at Gu Junzhu and Xiao Shumiao, then glanced at Lingyue who was watching Xiao Shumiao. He thought to himself, after a while, he would persuade Gu Junzhu to move his family to Beijing.

After all, the roots of the Gu Family were in Beijing.

Senior Gu had sent Gu Junzhu to Jiang City because the doctor had said that the climate of Jiang City was more conducive to Gu Junzhu’s recovery and it would also take care of Gu Junzhu’s marriage with the Jiang Family’s girl.

Now seeing Gu Junzhu lively and full of energy, albeit still looking slightly pale, it was evident that his health was no longer a major concern.

This being the case, Gu Junzhu’s return to Beijing was only a matter of time.

Once Gu Junzhu returned to Beijing, he would find a way to keep Lingyue with him and mentor him personally.

The child was deeply emotional and loyal, he believed, as long as he treated the child as his own and gave his sincere care, once the child had grown up and accomplished, he would surely look after his son and take care of the Xiang Family.

Senior Master Xiang was thinking about all this when he suddenly saw the float on the water surface sink.

A fish had been hooked!

He quickly pulled the fish ashore.

The big fish got off the hook, bouncing wildly on the shore.

The joy of harvest filled his chest, he laughed heartily, suddenly feeling that fishing was more enjoyable than mountaineering.

“Wow!” The youngster exclaimed, “Grandpa’s so amazing too!”

Lingyue held the little one’s hand and went over to pick up the fish.

After they’d placed the big fish into a water bucket, Lingyue told Xiao Shumiao, who was staring at the fish captivated, “They’re all for Xiao Shu to eat.”

“Mmm!” Xiao Shumiao nodded enthusiastically, his face all smiles.

In the past, his mother used to say that eating seafood may cause allergies, so she adamantly refused to let him eat fish.
