Chapter 398: As Long as the Result is Good, That’s Enough
"And the old man just disappeared without appearing again until Lin Feng came with the old man’s letter to find Wan’er. It was only then that I knew the old man was still alive, and Wan’er’s fiancé had truly arrived," Ding Yi said those words and then stopped talking, picking up the tea from the table and drinking, his mind filled with memories of the past. He always felt the old man was so mysterious, so magical! Even more often, he felt that the old man was like a living Immortal.
Otherwise, how could all those incidents from the past have coincided so perfectly? It seemed as if the old man really could foresee the future. Such miraculous things could only be done by the old man; others shouldn’t even bother thinking about it! Therefore, Ding Yi felt that this mysterious old man was the greatest benefactor of his life.
"I really want to see the old man again, to thank him. But perhaps there won’t be another chance," Qian Rong reflected with great sentiment, deeply sighing. The old man was like an Immortal, and meeting him was undoubtedly a matter of fate. Although he deeply wished for it, if the old man chose not to appear, nobody could find him.
Qian Rong looked down at the pair of Iron Palms left to him by the old man, which later brought him fame. The last time the old man appeared, it was for too short a time; before he could speak, the old man had vanished. That incident left Qian Rong incredibly frustrated, dreaming of seeing the old man again. Yet, unexpectedly, more than twenty years had passed without another sighting of the old man. At times, Qian Rong wondered if he would ever meet the old man again...
Upon hearing Ding Yi explain the origin of Wan’er’s arranged marriage, Ding Bo and Zhou Ping were instantly stupefied, especially since Uncle Qian added a few points. This confirmed that everything their father said was true. They couldn’t have imagined a world with an old man as magical as their dad had described. No wonder their father agreed to such an outrageous arranged marriage. Now it made sense. If they had encountered such a miraculous old man, they probably would’ve agreed without a second thought, too.
For some reason, Ding Bo and Zhou Ping suddenly felt as if Wan’er’s marriage was a game set by the mysterious old man, and everyone seemed like pawns in this game of chess.
Medicine... The elixir!
Although Ding Wan’er was surprised about the origins of her marriage, she was more focused on the elixir her grandfather mentioned. Could it be that elixir which made her different? Since she was young, Ding Wan’er had felt distinct from other children; she could easily learn anything. Thus, she had always been hailed as a prodigy, skipping grades and earning double doctorates by the age of 21. If she wished, she could have achieved even more honors.
It must’ve been that magical elixir...
After hearing everything Ding Yi had to say, Lin Feng too was surprised. He hadn’t expected his thrift-store mentor to have done so much. It seemed he had planned everything for Lin Feng long ago. Since he was certain that all this had been his mentor’s doing, nothing seemed too surprising. If his mentor hadn’t planned everything for him, he wouldn’t be who he was...
With this in mind, Lin Feng felt that for now, things could only be as they were. According to the old man’s arrangement, Ding Wan’er was identified as his fiancée; everything else should just take its natural course.
"Old Master, Uncle, Auntie, it’s gotten late. The truth about today’s matters is out, and I should head home," said Lin Feng, feeling that after everything was discussed, sitting here made the atmosphere a bit awkward. And since it was indeed late, it was time to go home. He stood up to bid farewell to Ding Yi and the others, signaling that he was leaving.
"Mmm, it is late. Wan’er, see Lin Feng out," Ding Yi checked the time and unknowingly, it had become quite late. It was time to let Lin Feng leave, so he asked his granddaughter to escort Lin Feng out. With the cat out of the bag, there was nothing else left, and it was natural for Wan’er to see Lin Feng out. Besides, he guessed they might have more to talk about, and this was a good opportunity for that.
"Of course, grandfather," Ding Wan’er understood her grandfather’s intention immediately. She was quite happy to talk with Lin Feng, so she readily agreed.
"Come see the old man whenever you have time." After finishing his sentence, Lin Feng didn’t wait for Ding Yi to respond. He took Ding Wan’er by the hand and left the villa, for he indeed had things to discuss with her. Although she was now his fiancée, he still had Shen Yao in his life, and these issues had to be clarified.
As the two walked towards the parking area, Ding Wan’er casually linked arms with Lin Feng, and from a distance, they looked like a very sweet couple strolling together.
"Wan’er, I truly didn’t expect us to be engaged." Looking at Ding Wan’er in front of him, Lin Feng found it challenging to start this conversation and ended up simply expressing his feelings.
"Well... Actually, from the moment you arrived, I knew. But at that time, my rebellious side was quite strong, and well, you were too..." Hearing Lin Feng, Ding Wan’er was filled with emotion. She, too, had never expected to be engaged to Lin Feng. When Lin Feng arrived with that note, she was dumbfounded, unsure of what to do! Moreover, the things Lin Feng said at that time were indeed shocking. Any normal person would not believe them at first!
"Hmm, what I said back then was all true, it’s just that you couldn’t believe it." Lin Feng understood that his behavior at the time was indeed too abrupt, and it was normal for Ding Wan’er not to believe him. Although what he said was true, such truth was indeed something few people would believe.
"Yes, as time passed, I really discovered that what you said was all true, and it’s also very strange what your experiences are, but that’s not important. What’s important is that you are now my fiancé, and that’s enough for me. You don’t know how long my heart was in knots when I saw Shen Yao and another innocent girl confessing to you. That feeling was really painful."
Ding Wan’er was now unspeakably happy and relaxed because Lin Feng had clearly become her fiancé. She no longer needed to engage in wild speculation about any other matters. The feeling was so good; all her previous troubles had vanished. Lin Feng was right by her side, a feeling so reassuring.
"Wan’er, Shen Yao, she..."
"I understand. A miraculous man like you can’t possibly have just one woman. I’ve already come to terms with that. In fact, it’s not just Shen Yao and that innocent girl—even Sister Leng and those two campus beauties from her side have more than ordinary feelings for you. I’ve seen it all with my eyes. However, Lin Feng, I only have one request for you. That is, in the future, all the sisters must be both beautiful and talented. That’s not asking too much, is it..."
When Ding Wan’er heard Lin Feng mention Shen Yao, she immediately understood what Lin Feng was talking about. In fact, this was something she had been considering for a while. Eventually, a close friend in M Country gave her an example that enlightened her. A man as miraculous as Lin Feng should never be expected to belong to only one person because, like the sun, he shines his light and warmth outward, making it irresistible for people to draw near.
Her friend’s father had four wives, and all four women were happy sharing one man. They never quarreled. When her friend asked her mother why she would share Dad with other women, her mother replied that Dad was just too outstanding. The mother and the other three women all wanted to be with him, and none of them wanted to leave, resulting in this outcome. And after decades, the relationship among the five of them remained as strong as ever!
Ultimately, her friend concluded with Ding Wan’er that only a truly capable man deserves to have multiple wives and concubines. Such a man’s radiance cannot be hidden, and he is destined to attract the attention of countless girls. But those who do not care about anything else and choose to stay for him will be the ones smiling in the end.
It was from that moment that all of Ding Wan’er’s troubles vanished because she knew that to describe Lin Feng as capable was an understatement; he was a miraculous man, near perfect! Therefore, he was also destined to have many women. If she wanted to be with Lin Feng, she had to accept it all. Otherwise, she would be left out of his circle, and that was not what she wanted at all.
So, when Lin Feng brought up this topic, Ding Wan’er hurriedly expressed her thoughts, not wanting Lin Feng to think she would be jealous or petty.
"Hmm, not high. Actually, I don’t want much anyway, but my heart goes with fate, everything is up to fate." Hearing Ding Wan’er say this, Lin Feng felt at ease, a bit surprised by her open-mindedness. No matter what, the outcome was good, and that was enough.
Ding Wan’er looked at Lin Feng, feeling much more relieved now. She had struggled internally with these words for a long time, and today she finally spoke them. There was no longer a need to agonize over these matters, such a wonderful feeling. With that thought, Ding Wan’er completely relaxed and then took the initiative to chat with Lin Feng.
"Lin Feng, will we still be able to walk arm in arm like this in the future?"
"Of course, as long as you wish."
"When you have time, go shopping with me, I want to buy you clothes."
"Hmm, I definitely will when I have time."
...
The two of them walked casually to the parking lot, and upon seeing the familiar black A7, Ding Wan’er naturally wanted to go with Lin Feng, then have him take her home. But unexpectedly, Lin Feng stopped her.
