In just one ring, the door clicked open and an old man opens the door . His eyes glistening with tears .
"Y-Young Miss . . . it really is you . . " his old voice choking with sobs .
Yue Ling smiles at the old man, "Housekeeper Hu . "
He was cleaning upstairs when he glance out the window and saw an unfamiliar white car pull up on the driveway . His master hadn't inform him of any visitors so he found it strange that the guard at the gate would just let someone in unannounced .
But it wasn't until he saw the car door open and a figure get out of the car .
It was a figure he was too familiar with .
A figure he had held as a baby .
A figure he had watch grow up beautifully .
It was none other than his Young Miss .
Thinking his eyes were poor due to old age, he rushed down to the door almost missing a few steps .
It had been such a long time since he's seen the child, so he wanted to make sure it was not his imagination before he informed the master .
And when he opened the door, it was really her .
Their Young Miss has finally come!
Housekeeper Hu's wrinkled lips tremble and tears pour down his old cheeks .
"Young Miss . . . "
Yue Ling's heart softened seeing the old man cry . He was also like a grandfather to her . She part her lips to speak, but suddenly a voice trail from behind the door and her heart started to speed rapidly .
"Old Hu, who's at the door?" An old voice spoke . "Why are you trembling? Are you crying? You're so old already why are you crying?"
Housekeeper Hu: " . . . . "
Yue Ling: " . . . . . "
Housekeeper Hu wipes his tears and nose with his sleeves, "Master, it's— . "
Before he could finish, he saw Yue Ling smile and gesture with her finger not to reveal anything .
His old face smile in excitement like a little kid, "Master, you have a very important visitor . "
"Hmmf . The only important visitor is my precious granddaughter . " the old man reluctantly walks to the door, and whispers to Housekeeper Hu, "If it's not her then just drive the person away . Tell him I'm not home and come back later . "
" . . . . "
Both Yue Ling and Housekeeper Hu we're dumbfounded . Did the old man actually think he was whispering just now?
Yue Ling who stood 3 feet away from the door could hear him loud and clear!
She didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the old man's childish behavior .
But then again, who can blame him . He was a general and has been in the military almost his entire life . Being blunt was his best aspect .
And it was also the part she loves most about the old man . He feared no one .
Housekeeper Hu was at a lost . He glance at Yue Ling then turn his head to the old man hiding behind the door .
"Master, it's actually a very important visitor . "
Old Man Ji snorted and flung the invisible sleeves he has, "Very important? If he was so important, how dare he show up unannounced . What kind of important visitor does he think he is?! Hmmf!"
Housekeeper Hu: " . . . . "
