Chapter 386: You Seemed Tired
386 You Seemed Tired
After Jun Zhenxian had rested long enough, he started to listen towards things that happened in this kingdom once again. Because Nanglong Soujin practically kicked him out from the latter's residence after he was recovered, he went towards his best friend place and literally disturbed the other party, day and night.
"Even if my annoying grandson kicked you out, this place is still off-limit," Nanglong Souka said in an annoyed tone. Why should you come to bother me every time my grandson disturbs you? I'm not the place for you to complain about him!
Jun Zhenxian laughed out loud, his eyes glinted with mischievousness, "This place is the best place whenever I have something to talk about that arrogant grandson-in-law. He's truly similar with you."
"Don't compare me with that grandson of mine! We are not similar in any field," the old man scoffed with an outrage. How could the other party say that they are similar? He would never admit to it, no matter how true it is or not.
"First thing first, let me say a good thing about him. I kind of admire him for making his decision right away to choose between Jun Hua and the entire offer of the trade," Jun Zhenxian smiled. That was truly bold of him to instantly reject the notion and chose Jun Hua above anything else. Should Princess Meng didn't agree to his request, a lot of money would be lost.
Thankfully, the princess couldn't afford to lose the trade too, so they made a compromise with each other.
"He's just a love-struck fool," Nanglong Souka scoffed.
"I bet you would do the same for your wife."
Nanglong Souka shrugged. He didn't want to answer that question. "He returned to accompany his wife right away, completely abandoning his work. That was truly an annoying grandson!"
"If you mean the paperwork," Jun Zhenxian said slowly, "he already finished them all."
"What did you say?"
That was a mountain of paper, so Nanglong Souka cannot believe his grandson finished all of them in a matter of months. After all, the other party has left the kingdom for a long time and the number of works he had to finish was not small in any case.
"He finished them all."
"How?"
"First of all, "Jun Zhenxian smirked, "Half of them were transferred to you…"
When he got into that sentence, Nanglong Souka started to curse vehemently. No wonder his workload didn't seem to decrease no matter how many times he did them. That annoying grandson of his actually transferred them to him!
"Secondly, he barely has any rest to finish the other half."
Because Jun Zhenxian stayed in their residence for days after forcing them to let him stay, he found out that Nanglong Soujin would almost always look tired. In front of Jun Hua, he still smiled and doted on her very much despite the lady would surely force him to rest whenever they were together since he couldn't hide things from her. She knew what he did very well and silently gave her support to him. After accompanying her, it was time for him to finish his entire work.
Even he didn't know how many sleepless nights the other party had just to finish his work since they have just conquering the nation and there were a lot of things to do. Despite them all, he still stayed beside his little wife. It was only because of this did he decide to not make things difficult and only bother the other party for a short time to make the atmosphere good.
"Hmph, that annoying brat is always taking his problem for himself," Nanglong Souka snorted.
"That is exactly the reason why the two of you could never have a normal relationship as grandfather and grandson. You two are just too stubborn."
"That's the best trait I have!"
"…" the servants on the side quickly bury their head deeper. Their master's shamelessness seemed to have gotten even worse whenever he was with the other party. They were truly a pair of troublemaker old men.
"It's not like changing the relationship would make things better," Nanglong Souka shrugged, "There are some things better left unsaid and I don't want to bother him too much again now that he's already married. Well, it's almost the time for me to retire too. You are tired too, right old pal?"
They have been clashing with each other for decades now and he knew that they always treated the other party as if they are treating enemies yet friends at the same time. They would go to each other's neck, but never actually leave any mark there.
From the time of their youth, many things have happened here. Some of them were good and the others were bad. Everything has become precious memories. Now, it won't be long before they need to leave this world too.
"You're absolutely right, I'm tired," Jun Zhenxian nodded his head. "But I will still live for a long time."
"That's impossible, you're older than me."
"Only by several months, you old fart! Being older doesn't mean I would be dying earlier than you!"
"If you mean naturally dying, of course, the older someone is, the faster they would reach the death door," Nanglong Souka said righteously.
Jun Zhenxian clenched his fist and punched it up, "It has been quite some time since the last time I practice my martial art because of my wound. Let me choose you to be my sparring partner today."
"You're still not allowed to move around too much, you shameless old man!"
"If it's only facing you, it won't even be counted as warm up."
"You…!"
The two old men shouted and cursed towards each other. Now that they have become in-laws, there was simply no way to separate them anymore. After all, they met each other far often compare with the past.
"Shall we get inside?" outside the door, Lin Hong looked towards Shu with a wry smile. The emperor had tasked the two of them to bring the paperwork for Prime Minister Nanglong Souka today. However, with the current situation, he didn't feel like bothering the two of them having their banter interrupted.
Shu nodded his head, "In case the two of them truly try to kill each other, we need to stop them."
Lin Hong passed him a dark look. Shu would be fine because the other party knew martial arts. On the other hand, he never even touched any kind of martial art in his life, so he would just place his life in danger if he dared to interrupt them.
Shu knocked on the door and came in. The two old men quickly stop their banter and stared at the door. Nanglong Souka almost fainted at the amount of paperwork these two brought to him. Was the emperor that determined to make him work to death?
"Shu, tell that emperor to lessen the number! I can't possibly finish them all," Nanglong Souka immediately complained.
"Prime Minister shouldn't worry so much, today you have someone to help you," Shu said and quickly bade his farewell before leaving with Lin Hong. The two of them could clearly hear the sound of cursing still leaked out from the door behind them.
"Now that you have more work, it's time for me to go," Jun Zhenxian said. He definitely didn't want to stay here and help this old man finish the work.
"Ah, since I have accompanied you last time, this time it's your turn to help me," Nanglong Souka wouldn't let this opportunity go.
"That was only because of Soujin! You wouldn't even want to if not because Lou was guarding the door!"
"I still did accompany you, so now you have to help me!"
