Two years ago, Yan Hongyun was invited to East Japan to give an academic speech. At that time, the international situation was very tense. However, the old man couldn't stand a group of East Japan devils shouting insults at Huaxia culture, so he agreed in anger.

Chen Yuquan had immense respect for this teacher who imparted knowledge to him, regarding him almost as his own father. He was very concerned about his safety, so he assigned Luo Chao, who had just won the national Soldier King title for the first time, to protect him.

Things turned out as Chen Yuquan had predicted. Even though they only stayed in East Japan for just a month, there were no less than a dozen assassination attempts. Fortunately, Luo Chao detected each incident in advance and dealt with the assassins. Over time, Yan Hongyun greatly admired the young man who repeatedly saved his life.

Brave and resourceful, with remarkable courage and strength that goes without saying. The only thing that dissatisfied him was Luo Chao's rogue-like behavior, speaking and acting in a manner unbefitting a soldier, often spewing inappropriate comments that left the old man both angry and amused.

For instance, at a press conference. Someone questioned Yan Hongyun's points, claiming that some of Huaxia's cultural traditions were plagiarized from East Japan, with no true cultural heritage of their own.

Before Yan Hongyun could retort, the then 17-year-old Luo Chao, filled with fiery passion, couldn't tolerate others insulting his motherland. Coupled with having no favorable impression of those East Japan perverts, he directly shot back.

"What right does a dead pervert who doesn't even acknowledge their ancestors have to talk about culture."

Since he said it in Huaxia, the Japan reporters didn't understand at first. It wasn't until someone fluent in Huaxia translated the meaning of his words that it caused an uproar, stirring the crowd, with two extreme nationalist Japan guys even threatening to shoot Luo Chao.

Luo Chao didn't show the slightest fear and directly jumped on the table to continue his provocation, "Not convinced? Come on, little devils, let's duel. I'll take on all of you by myself."

In the end, Luo Chao and Yan Hongyun safely returned to Huaxia, because matters were left in the capable hands of Chen Yuquan, and Luo Chao couldn't have cared less about how the public opinion was suppressed, as long as he could enjoy himself.

After returning home, Yan Hongyun proactively approached Luo Chao, wanting to adopt him as a god-grandson.

Luo Chao, being the character he is, knew a good deal when he saw one, as such opportunities were rare to come by even with a lantern. Happily, he knelt and kowtowed, and from then they were grandparent and grandchild.

Originally, the old man discussed with Chen Yuquan, intending to have Luo Chao retire at that time, to stay by his side and study national studies, to enrich his knowledge.

Chen Yuquan naturally wouldn't go against the wishes of his mentor and immediately informed Luo Chao.

But Luo Chao himself absolutely opposed it. He liked the military life and loved fighting alongside his comrades. So, the matter remained unresolved.

Now, Luo Chao had confirmed his retirement. The old man brought up old matters again, "Don't stay in the dormitory anymore, just move here. Every day you can go to and from school with Ziqi."

Chen Yuquan's daughter, Chen Ziqi, attended school here and also lived at Yan Hongyun's place.

Luo Chao let out a bitter laugh, "Grandpa, I have a house in Liuhai." He didn't want to live with the old man, fearing the daily lectures would drive him crazy.

With a "thud", a noise came from the study's doorway.

"Come in, no point in eavesdropping at the door!" said Old Yan helplessly.

The door opened, and Grandma Yan walked in with a sheepish expression, saying, "I wasn't eavesdropping, I was just afraid you'd scold my good grandson."

"If Xiao Tian doesn't want to live with us old folks, don't force him." She looked affectionately at Luo Chao, "Young people enjoy freedom, facing you old fogey every day, how boring."

In truth, Grandma Yan was the true head of the household. The decisions she made rarely met with objection from Yan Hongyun.

This was because Grandma Yan married Old Yan when she was very young and he was penniless.

Grandma Yan came from a well-to-do family, a wealthy daughter. Her father looked down on Old Yan, a destitute scholar. But Grandma Yan was devotedly in love and eloped with him against all odds.

In the beginning, they suffered quite a bit, barely able to make ends meet. Even so, Grandma Yan stuck by Old Yan until he made some progress in his academic career, then life gradually got better.

Therefore, even after Old Yan became a towering figure in Huaxia's literary world, he continued to obey Grandma Yan's words, always carrying a sense of guilt.

"Alright, whatever you decide is fine," Yan Hongyun conceded, not wanting to argue with his wife.

Grandma Yan smiled with satisfaction, "Smart choice, old fellow." Then she looked kindly at Luo Chao, "Xiao Tian, make sure to come visit Grandma often. Your Hong aunt is married far away, so I see you as my own grandson, don't be like these past days, where you don't visit at all."

Hong aunt was the couple's daughter, who got married and moved abroad early on, working hard with her husband overseas. She'd tried bringing her parents abroad, but Yan Hongyun firmly refused, dedicated to Huaxia's education for life. So, Hong aunt resigned herself to visiting her parents a few times a year.

"Xiao Tian, I heard from your grandfather that you have a girlfriend?" Grandma Yan asked, holding Luo Chao's hand.

Seeing Luo Chao nod, confirming the truth, she pressed eagerly, "Where is the girl from? What's her personality like? Is she good to you? Is she pretty? What's her family background?"

Luo Chao felt overwhelmed by the barrage of questions and quickly said, "Grandma, don't worry. I've only known Tang Yan for a short time and don't know her well enough yet. When the time is right, I'll definitely bring her over to meet you, okay?"

Grandma Yan was so pleased that her eyes narrowed, "Alright then, Grandma won't ask anymore. When you bring your girlfriend over, Grandma will have a good look at her."

Beside them, Yan Hongyun shook his head helplessly, knowing his wife was interested in the kids' love affairs. Chen Ziqi was pressured to the point where she preferred having lunch at home and shut herself in her room upon returning in the evening, fearing questions about boyfriends.

Thinking of this, Yan Hongyun was moved.

Luo Chao and Chen Ziqi were about the same age and looked like a perfect match; setting them up together seemed like a good idea.

But he reconsidered and abandoned the thought. Young people have their own ideas, and who they end up with isn't something old folks like them can decide, better to let them develop freely without interference.
