"Honey, is it here?"
Lin Ruoxue looked around. The environment was clear and peaceful, with a subtly transcendent aura.
Although she didn't understand feng shui, her instincts told her that this place possessed exceptional geomantic qualities, not the kind where ordinary families buried their dead.
She couldn't help but wonder, who exactly were Su Chen's parents?
She didn't say anything, however, and slowly climbed the hillside with Su Chen, carrying flowers.
When she saw the solemn, stern-faced guards, her curiosity only intensified. She turned her head towards the distance and was immediately shocked!
The cemetery spanned hundreds of acres, with evergreen pines and cypresses. Each tomb was majestically towering, as if narrating history itself.
"What kind of cemetery is this?"
As she walked through the main entrance, Lin Ruoxue asked timidly, becoming even more certain that this was no ordinary cemetery.
"This is the shared cemetery of the Five Great Families of Yandu."
Su Chen walked forward slowly and spoke softly, "The ancestors of the Five Great Families are all buried here."
Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Lin Ruoxue was stunned!
This was actually the shared cemetery of the Five Great Families! No wonder it was so grand and majestic, even carrying an air of royalty!
Wait a minute!
The shared cemetery of the Five Great Families? Could it be that Su Chen's parents were also...?
Then what about Su Chen's identity...?
Lin Ruoxue suddenly felt as if struck by lightning, standing frozen on the spot, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief!
And considering his surname, then he... Lin Ruoxue suddenly felt her mind go blank!
She had never imagined that Su Chen โ her own husband โ came from such a distinguished family!
Yet, he didn't look at all like those so-called young masters, right?
Moreover, the last time at Qimeng Tower, other young masters didn't recognize him. If he truly came from such an eminent family, how could those people not recognize him?
Could she have guessed wrong?
For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Lin Ruoxue's mind, a tangled mess!
"Wife, what are you spacing out for? Let's go!"
Su Chen had walked a few steps and, seeing Lin Ruoxue still frozen in place, turned back to call her.
"Oh, coming!"
Startled back to reality, Lin Ruoxue followed him.
It wasn't long before Su Chen stopped in front of a tombstone and softly said to Lin Ruoxue: "This is my grandfather."
Lin Ruoxue's gaze immediately landed on the tombstone. When she saw the name "Su Yi" on it, she was deeply shocked once again!
Although only in her twenties, Lin Ruoxue had heard of the name Su Yi before; in Huaxia, it was legendary!
Could this old man really be Su Chen's grandfather? Wasn't that too incredible?
If that was the case, then why was Su Chen the way he was now? What exactly had he experienced?
Su Chen solemnly kowtowed three times in front of the tomb. Lin Ruoxue placed a bunch of chrysanthemums on the steps and knelt beside him, also kowtowing three times.
Then Su Chen walked behind this tombstone and pointed at two others: "This is my father, my mother."
Lin Ruoxue looked at those tombstones, learning for the first time that her father-in-law was named Su Lou and her mother-in-law Mu Tong.
Su Chen kneeled and knocked his head three times, and Lin Ruoxue naturally did the same.
After these rituals, Su Chen again came to his grandfather's grave and said to the tombstones of his grandfather and parents: "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, this is Ruoxue, my wife, your granddaughter-in-law, daughter-in-law."
While saying this, Su Chen's lips curved into a slight smile: "How about it? My wife is beautiful, isn't she! I married such a beautiful woman, you must be very happy too!"
"I know, you must be watching over us from heaven, happy for us."
"Grandpa, Dad, Mom, don't worry, Xiao Tian is doing well now, you don't need to worry about me."
"Later, once our child is born, Ruoxue and I will bring the child, and the whole family will come to see you all."
When Su Chen mentioned their child, a shy expression surfaced on Lin Ruoxue's face, though she said nothing.
At that moment, she was still thinking about Su Chen's previous words. Xiao Tian? Was that his name before?
Was Su Chen a name he changed to later? Why change his name? Was it to hide something? Why hide?
"Grandpa, Dad, Mom, don't worry, I am so handsome, and Ruoxue is so beautiful, our children will definitely be especially beautiful too, they won't let you down."
Su Chen continued with a smile: "How about we have enough children to form a basketball team, huh? Such good genes should not go to waste, right? If that's not enough, then maybe a soccer team!"
"Do you think I'm a pig, with a basketball team, a soccer team, huh!"
Lin Ruoxue, unable to hold back, blushed and spat lightly. She found that although Su Chen was smiling as he spoke, his eyes hid a thread of sorrow and melancholy, which was touching.
"Ruoxue, why don't you say a few words to Grandpa and Mom and Dad too?"
Su Chen said with a smile.
"What should I say?"
Lin Ruoxue asked nervously.
"Just say whatever you want to say, they would love to hear it."
Su Chen moved slightly to the side, giving the middle spot to Lin Ruoxue.
Lin Ruoxue took a deep breath, then slowly said: "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, first of all, I want to apologize for not visiting you for so long, that's my fault!"
After saying this, Lin Ruoxue bowed deeply, then continued: "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, I know I haven't been up to par as a wife before, neither managing household chores nor caring for others well, but please believe me, I will surely try my best to improve."
"Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Su Chen in the future, and pay more attention to our home."
"Also, when we have children in the future, we will surely bring them often to visit you, and let the kids spend more time talking with you, so you won't feel lonely."
As she said this, Lin Ruoxue became slightly shy, glanced at Su Chen, and blushed as she said: "I, I've pretty much said everything."
"Wife, remember what you said, oh? Grandpa and Mom and Dad are watching you from heaven!"
Su Chen's lips curled into a mischievous smile.
"I know!"
Lin Ruoxue spat, her face now flushed.
She also knew that this day was bound to come; in this lifetime, she wouldn't fall in love with anyone else.
Some things are bound to happen, it's just a question of sooner or later.
Regarding matters between men and women, Lin Ruoxue's heart was actually very complicated, feeling both anticipation and fear, but all these feelings were normal...
