Living in an apartment: Only children make choices.

"Then you should go to sleep first."

"Just call me back when you wake up."

Zhuge Dali said with a smile.

"It's alright, Grandpa, you can go first."

Zhuge Ke sighed.

"Never mind, we can't finish talking about it in a short time."

"You should get some rest."

After hanging up the phone, Zhuge Ke returned to his office.

Seeing his father looking dejected, Zhuge Dasheng jokingly said.

"how?"

"We didn't discuss Lili?"

Zhuge Ke shook his head.

"We didn't discuss it; we forgot about the time difference."

"She was half asleep, so it was clearly not a good time to discuss this."

"I need to take this opportunity to organize my thoughts."

“Summarize the pros and cons of her being with Lin Yun!”

"No! They're only pointing out the disadvantages, not the advantages!"

567 Zhuge Dasheng sighed.

"Dad, I'm telling you this, but you don't believe me."

"I tried everything to persuade Lili, from kind words to harsh ones, but it was no use."

“Lili has a very complete logical system of her own, and you can’t reason with her.”

Zhuge Ke insisted.

"Then I have to give it a try!"

"I can't change Lin Yun, and I can't change you."

"If even Lili can't change things this time, then I'll have no choice but to..."

Zhuge Dasheng said in a panic.

"Dad, please don't do anything rash!"

Zhuge Ke said slowly and deliberately.

"Then I have no choice but to change myself and accept all of this."

Zhuge Liang kept all his worries to himself.

…………

Inside the coffee shop.

Lin Yun and Blake sat facing each other.

Blake asked.

When do you plan to move out of the country?

Lin Yun corrected him.

"It shouldn't be considered going abroad."

"I plan to work hard before I turn eighteen, before the Spring Festival this year."

Blake suggested with a smile.

"Then you might as well just choose New Year's Day."

"This way, we can both have a surprise."

Lin Yun nodded.

“That makes sense. Then I’ll have to move the date forward.”

After saying this, Blake suddenly spoke seriously.

"By the way, Lin Yun, there's been a lot of discussion about the Beast Group in China lately."

"There are all sorts of opinions."

Lin Yun shrugged.

"That's normal. Every company has to face a few major public relations crises."

"Public opinion is like a surging tide."

"It can cleanse the dirty from the dirty, and it can also smear the innocent from the dark."

After saying that, Lin Yun picked up his coffee cup and took a sip.

"They say you're pro-island nation..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yun nearly choked on his coffee.

Lin Yun, who hadn't coughed even when facing a missile explosion, was now coughing incessantly.

"No... not..."

"Who said that? That's ridiculous."

Blake nodded.

"Yeah, that's ridiculous."

"If everything you've done is based on a pro-island nation premise."

"I can't even imagine that you would go to that extent when you hate it."

Lin Yun said with a smile.

“I’ve actually thought about this. I could lay the mountain down and then draw a circle on the spot with the mountain’s summit as the center.”

Lin Yun spoke so casually, yet he uttered words that sent chills down one's spine.

Even Blake couldn't help but comment.

"That does sound like your style."

"A cruelty tinged with a ritualistic humor."

Lin Yun rolled his eyes.

“Blake, military officers shouldn’t use such literary terms.”

"And all I did was make them despair; that's far less cruel."

"Fortunately, I have plenty of time to make up for it slowly."

"Oh, right, there's one more important thing. My brother-in-law is playing a match tonight."

"Remember to check it out then!"

Blake said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I haven't missed a single game."

"I'm almost a fan of Zhanbo now."

…………

"Lili, you're awake."

Zhuge Dali nodded at the screen.

"Yes, I'm awake."

"Grandpa, you don't look well. Have you not been resting well lately, or is something bothering you?"

Zhuge Ke sighed.

"There is indeed one thing that's bothering me."

"Lin Yun came to me before and said something that still shocks me to this day."

"He told me to my face that he liked the Monkey King and he also liked you."

Zhuge Dali pursed her lips. Although she didn't say anything, her micro-expressions showed that she was in a very good mood.

"Lin Yun, you actually told you this so early."

"Based on my reasoning, it should be around next summer."

"It seems I still need to learn more about Lin Yun."

Zhuge Ke quickly steered the conversation back to the main topic.

"Lili, I have something to tell you."

"Grandpa really can't agree to your relationship with Lin Yun."

Zhuge Dali said with a smile.

"It's alright, what I wanted was not permission, but blessing."

Seeing that Zhuge Dali did not respond, Zhuge Ke spoke up again.

"Lili, Grandpa also knows that Lin Yun is a vixen; he'll like any woman."

"Grandpa knows that he is intelligent and kind-hearted. He grew up with you, so it's normal that you have some unusual feelings for him."

Zhuge Dali said with a smile.

"Shouldn't there be a 'but'?"

As expected, Zhuge Ke began.

"but!"
