Chapter 627 Love? When Zhai Yanjun came home, he was humming a tune unfamiliar to everyone in this family. It was actually a song from Fantasy! His favorite group! Of course, it was his favorite, his brother was a part of it. He had been often listening to their songs whenever he was tired.
"Oh, you're home!"
Zhai Yanjun looked at his father who appeared from the kitchen wearing an apron around his waist and raised his brows at him.
"Dad?" Zhai Yanjun called out in surprise.
"Yeah, it's me! Why? Did you already forget your father's face?" asked Zhai Kuijun, a little unhappily.
Zhai Yanjun shrugged, "I remember you all too well."
"Oh, our Junjun is home," Grandmother Zhai came from inside to meet her grandson and hugged him. "Oh, my poor grandson has gotten so thin again."
Zhai Yanjun frowned, "I really didn't." But he knew it was useless. According to his Grandmother, he was always thin. He couldn't do anything about it.
"You should go and freshen up said," Grandmother Zhai. "Your dad is almost done with cooking. The dinner will be served soon."
Zhai Yanjun again looked at his father, "You cooked? Are you sure I'll be able to eat it?"
Zhai Kuijun glared at him, "You'll see!"
Zhai Yanjun smiled at his father in a good manner before rushing upstairs to freshen up a little since he came right from the training ground. He was still wearing his dusty uniform, damp with sweat.
Zhai Kuijun poked his mother's arm and asked, "Why don't you ask him why he is so happy lately? The last time I called him, he sounded happy. Even now, he seems to be in a good mood. What has gotten into him?"
"I don't care what happened," was Grandmother Zhai's response. "I'm just happy to see my grandson finally opening up a little. He looks happy and lively and that's all that matters to me. As for how it happened, I don't care."
Zhai Kuijun was annoyed. How come his mother would question him everything even when he was this old but won't even ask a simple question to her dear grandson? Wasn't it unfair? But he should be used to it by now? Why was he even thinking about it?
"So, you don't want to know if he is in love or not?" asked Zhai Kuijun. "But that's okay. Even if he is turning thirty, there is no need for us to rush him into getting married or anything."
Grandmother Zhai's expressions changed once he heard that and Zhai Kuijun could see it, he smiled sneakily to himself. So what if he schemed against his own son? It was super fun! He only realized it just now!
The whole family gathered at the dinner table.
Zhai Yanjun served himself some vegetables when he asked his father, "Dad, what's the occasion?"
"Oh, we are celebrating," answered Zhai Kuijun.
"What are we celebrating?" asked Zhai Yanjun.
"My freedom!"
Zhai Yanjun stared at his father long and hard before raising his brow, "You're acting as if you got divorced?" Seeing the smirk playing on his father's lips, Zhai Yanjun placed his chopsticks down and asked again, "Really?"
"Really," answered Zhai Kuijun with a big smile.
"No way," Zhai Yanjun couldn't believe it. How could he believe it? He knew how much that woman was resisting the divorce. She neither wanted to stay with his father nor did she want to let go. He always wanted to ask her exactly why was she torturing everyone by dragging this marriage for so long. But at the end of the day, she was his mother and he wasn't allowed to ask her these questions.
Being unfilial wasn't something his grandparents taught him. He could hate her but he could do nothing about it either.
"Kuijun," Grandmother Zhai also placed her chopsticks down. Although she didn't like that daughter-in-law of hers, divorce was a big matter. "You really got divorced?"
"Yes," answered Zhai Kuijun honestly while eating without any care.
"You..."
Before Grandmother Zhai could say anything, Grandfather Zhai stopped her, "That's enough. He is old enough to know what he is doing. You don't have to say anything." Grandmother Zhai sighed silently and dropped her head to look at the bowl of rice in front of her. She was feeling really complicated right now.
"Dad, how did this happen?" asked Zhai Yanjun curiously. "I thought she wanted to drag it for good?"
"Yes, she did," said Zhai Kuijun. "She was quite resistant to divorce but I finally decided to play the trump card."
"You used Grandfather Yue?" asked Zhai Yanjun in surprise. He knew how much his father respected his in-laws. The only reason he had dragged this marriage for so long was to give face to his in-laws. Who knew now he'd end up using the same in-laws?
"Well, it's not my fault," said Zhai Kuijun. "I asked her nicely to sign the divorce papers. She just had to choose the hard way."
Zhai Yanjun patted his father's shoulder, "I'm so happy for you."
"Jun!"
Zhai Yanjun looked up at his grandmother who looked displeased.
"Is that something you should say? She is your mother?"
"I didn't say she isn't," replied Zhai Yanjun. "But even if she is my mother, no one wanted this divorce to happen as much as I did. And if my dad had taken this step years ago, I wouldn't have turned out like I did!"
Grandmother Zhai wanted to reprimand him but couldn't bring herself to do so. Because no matter what she said would be futile. She knew very well how her grandson was.
Love?
He didn't have any of that for any of them. Even for his grandparents, he only felt respect and responsibility. Nothing more. There were no such feelings like a love of a child towards his family in him. Especially after joining the army, he grew even more distant from every one of them. Even though he wasn't negligent towards them and checked up on them regularly, it was just a sense of responsibility and nothing more than that.
