Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 4398


Married at First Sight Chapter 4398 
When it came to food, Long Ting’s eyes lit up. 
He immediately ran to the backyard. 
The chickens raised by his master were kept in the backyard and allowed to roam freely. His master always said that free-range chickens were the most delicious. 
Watching the little guy’s back, the old doctor muttered, “This little foodie… the moment chicken is mentioned, he forgets all about asking about his parents.” 
He stood up and followed after him. 
 “Master is old and has lost all his teeth. I don’t eat chicken legs anymore, so I’ll let you have both.” 
Long Ting turned his head and said, “Doesn’t Master still have a full set of teeth? Chicken legs are full of meat and taste great. You always said they’re the best part of the chicken. How can you not eat them when you still have all your teeth?” 
He didn’t mind at all. He only planned to eat one chicken leg and give the other to his master. 
The old doctor replied, “My mouth is full of dentures.” 
“Well, Master Gong can still eat chicken legs. But if he won’t, I’ll call him and tell him an old lady keeps visiting you and says she wants to live with you in your old age.” 
The old doctor scowled. “You little rascal! If you dare call your master and say that, I’ll punish you!” 
There really was an old lady who came by every few days, insisting she wanted to move in and grow old with him. 
But he was already old himself—and he had no interest in sharing his life with a partner now. 
He had apprentices, a group of old friends, and many nephews—all of whom were very filial. One of his apprentices, whom he treated like a daughter, had given him a little grandson. That grandson now stayed by his side day and night. 
He was not lonely and had no need to live with anyone. 
In his youth, he never married. Even in middle age, he never considered it. After taking in an apprentice, he dedicated himself to raising her and never thought about finding a mother for the child. 
Now that he was retired, it was finally time to enjoy life. Why would he trouble himself with finding a companion? 
Who knew what hidden motives someone might have? 
He was certain there was more to it, and in any case, he didn’t want to live with anyone. 
He had already changed the formation at the entrance of Medicine Valley. From now on, the old lady who wanted to marry him and spend her old age with him would no longer be able to enter. 
But this matter had to be kept from his disciple. 
That child had always wanted to find him a “master’s wife.” 
Long Ting stuck out his tongue playfully. “So Master-shi gets scared sometimes too!” 
The old doctor gave him a light knock and said, “You little rascal, now you’re even learning to threaten your master.” 
“My master wouldn’t let me show respect by giving you both chicken legs, so I told him. I was afraid he’d think I wasn’t taking good care of you and wanted an old lady to accompany you. It’s perfect—I’ll just tell him everything…” 
“Alright, alright! Two chicken legs. One for you, one for me. That settles it.” 
“Go catch a chicken—don’t pick one that’s too big. We’re roasting it in the kiln, so a smaller one is better.” 
Just a grandfather and his grandson—too large a chicken would be too much. 
Long Ting happily agreed and ran off to catch one.
