After many years of marriage, she was reborn

"Yifan, I'm so sorry. I suddenly received a notice to hold an emergency meeting."

"I'm afraid I can't have dinner with you tonight. How about we change the time?" I felt full of guilt and helplessness.

Not long after, Yu Yifan's gentle and considerate voice came from the other end of the phone: "It's okay, Yiyi, work is of course the most important thing."

He tried his best to make his tone sound relaxed and natural, but deep down he could hardly hide the slight disappointment and loneliness in his heart.

Although he said it was okay, when Yu Yifan put down his phone, a deep sense of loss unconsciously revealed on his face.

He had been looking forward to spending a wonderful night with his beloved, but now he felt empty inside, as if he had lost something precious.

Yu Yifan silently looked out the window at the darkening sky, and sighed in his heart: Maybe this is life, always full of surprises and unpredictable changes...

Finally, Yu Yifan decided to cook a sumptuous dinner himself to make up for this regret.

As soon as he got off work, he went to the supermarket, carefully selected the ingredients, and started busying himself in the kitchen after returning home.

A few hours later, a table full of delicious dishes was placed on the table.

Yu Yifan looked at his masterpiece and smiled with satisfaction.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Yu Yifan opened the door and saw me standing at the door with a bouquet of flowers in my hand.

"Yiyi, don't you have a meeting?" Yu Yifan asked in surprise.

I smiled and said, "The meeting ended early. I wanted to give you a surprise."

After saying that, I walked into the house and saw the food on the table. My eyes couldn't help but become moist.

"Yifan, you've worked so hard." I looked around and found that my grandfather was not at home, and neither were the four nannies.

The two sat down and enjoyed this warm moment.

Yu Yifan carefully picked up a piece of juicy fish with chopsticks, which was emitting an enticing aroma, and gently placed it in my bowl.

His eyes were full of tenderness and care, and he said softly: "This is what I prepared carefully, specially for you, come and taste it."

I happily took the piece of fish that was so thoughtful and took a bite.

The delicate and smooth taste instantly spreads in the mouth.

The delicious taste flows across my tongue like a stream of clear spring water, making me intoxicated.

I couldn't help but smile brightly and contentedly, and said to Yu Yifan gratefully, "Wow, it's really delicious. Thank you, Yifan."

Suddenly, as if I remembered something important, I asked, "By the way, Yifan, it's strange, why haven't I seen grandpa for a long time?"

"If grandpa hadn't helped take care of our three lovely little ones these days, to be honest, it would have been difficult to complete this project so smoothly."

Speaking of this, my heart is filled with deep respect and gratitude for my grandfather.

"Well...Grandpa received a call from an old friend this morning, saying that he wanted to play chess together. I guess he's still outside right now." Yu Yifan explained.

I nodded. "Yifan, if you hadn't convinced Grandpa this time, he wouldn't have been happy to stay."

After all, grandpa has always loved chess, and he must have been very happy to play against his old friend.

Just as we were enjoying the food, Yu Yifan's cell phone suddenly rang.

Jingle bells, jingle bells…

He glanced at the screen calmly, then showed a happy expression.

"It's grandpa calling." He pressed the answer button and put the phone to his ear.

After a few brief conversations, Yu Yifan hung up the phone and said to me with a smile: "Grandpa said he would be home soon, and he specifically asked me to take good care of you tonight."

I felt warm in my heart and felt my grandfather's care and love for me.

As the night deepened, we cleared the table together, looking forward to grandpa's return so that we could share more warm moments.

We chatted while waiting for grandpa to come home. Time passed by and finally we heard the door open.

Yu Yifan hurried to greet grandpa, and I followed closely behind.

"Grandpa, you're back!" I shouted happily.

"Haha, my dear granddaughter, grandpa hasn't seen you for several days. I know you love your work, but health is always more important than work." Grandpa smiled and touched my head.

"Grandpa, I know what to do. Come and try the dish Yifan made. It's delicious!" I pulled my grandpa to the dining table.

Grandpa sat down, tasted a few bites of the dishes, and praised them highly: "Not bad, not bad, Yifan's cooking skills are getting better and better!"

"From now on, our Yiyi will have a good time following Yifan."

We sat together, talked and laughed, and had a wonderful evening.

Grandpa is used to taking a walk in the yard after dinner. Sure enough, after dinner, grandpa suggested taking a walk in the yard together.

The three of us strolled under the moonlight, feeling the tranquility and beauty of the night.

Grandpa told me stories about his youth and I listened with great interest.

As we were walking, grandpa suddenly pointed to a big tree and said, "Look, that tree was planted when I was a child, and now it has grown this big."

Yu Yifan and I looked up and saw that the tree was lush and leafy, as if it had witnessed my grandfather's life.

My grandfather has always been very secretive about his love life, and he never mentions anything about my biological parents.

This has always made me very curious, but I dare not touch this sensitive topic easily.

However, what was unexpected was that tonight, grandpa actually told Yifan and me about his childhood for the first time.

Maybe it is true as people often say, when a person enters old age, he will miss the past more and more.

After returning to the room, Grandpa took out a yellowed old photo album from the depths of the cabinet.

That photo album seemed to carry the traces of countless years, and every page exuded an old atmosphere.

We sat around the table and carefully flipped through the photo album.

Let's immerse ourselves together in the memories that have been sealed away by time.

As one old photo after another comes into view, we seem to have traveled back to that distant era.

The grandfather in the photo is in his prime and full of vigor and vitality, and those who once spent their youth with him can now only trace their figures through these images.

While flipping through the books, I was surprised to find that my grandfather’s first love was actually a foreign woman!

This astonishing fact suddenly dawned on me. No wonder I had hardly ever heard my grandfather mention anything about my grandmother since I was a child.

At this moment, the mystery in my heart is finally solved, but I can't help but feel a lot of emotion.

It turns out that when my grandfather was young, he also had someone he loved but could not get.

In an instant, I understood a lot. No wonder grandpa never found another half since grandma passed away. It turns out that there has always been someone living in his heart.

Before I knew it, it was already late. Grandpa yawned and said, "It's getting late. You should go to bed early."

Yu Yifan and I sent grandpa back to his room, and we felt extremely happy watching him fall asleep peacefully.

"Yiyi, have you noticed that grandpa is acting strange tonight?" Yu Yifan expressed my confusion.

"I think so too." I nodded and said thoughtfully, "Grandpa rarely talks about the past, but today he took the initiative to tell us about it, and it was about his first love."

"Maybe grandpa wanted to fulfill some unfulfilled wishes before he left." Yu Yifan guessed.

"But who was that foreign woman? Why didn't grandpa ever tell us about her?" I asked curiously.

"I'm afraid only grandpa himself knows this." Yu Yifan shook his head helplessly.

"No matter what, it is a precious gift to us that Grandpa can open his heart and share his past," I said with emotion.

"Yes, I hope grandpa can talk to us more in the future so that we can get to know him better." Yu Yifan echoed.

We walked back to the room hand in hand in silence. As soon as we reached the bedroom, Yu Yifan suddenly kissed me.
