"Look at what you’re saying! Your father just wants to know more about Anning’s situation — after all, even though Anning is your girlfriend now, in the future, she’ll be marrying into our Yu Family."
"Mom! Do you an...?" Yu Zexiao raised his head, his gaze shifting from initial shock to joy, "You, you’re giving us your blessing?"
Even Jian Anning lifted her head, her whole being filled with joy!
"Xiaoxiao." Yu Jingxi also looked at his wife beside him in confusion, thinking there was no need to agree so quickly. After all, it’s all Jian Anning’s side of the story. What if she was deceiving them sohow?
What if she eventually didn’t get along well with their son?
If they agreed now, it would be tough to backtrack later!
Shen Lanxiao, however, said, "I’m not like you; I’ve lived with Anning for a while, and we got along very well. To be honest, I considered her as a daughter-in-law back then — after all, Xingxing wouldn’t admit it, but there were never any other won around him!"
Hearing this, Jian Anning blushed and imdiately explained, "Aunt Shen, back then, Zexiao and I had a little misunderstanding. So when you asked if Zexiao and I were dating, I didn’t admit it...."
Shen Lanxiao gave a look of "I understand you": "Could I not know Xingxing, that kid? He’s got a strange temper and doesn’t listen to advice, so getting along well with anyone would be weird. Honestly, his dad and I were worried sick, afraid he would never get a girlfriend. Thankfully, with Anning around, I feel relieved."
"Mom!" Monts ago, Yu Zexiao feared Shen Lanxiao would break them up; now, he was afraid she’d expose his shortcomings and quickly said, "How can you talk about your son like that? Am I your real son?"
Yu Jingxi, who loved his wife dearly, gave him a stern look: "How did we say anything wrong? You just admitted you have issues!"
Yu Zexiao felt what it’s like to shoot himself in the foot, feeling both angry and helpless as his father added more to it. Yet, Jian Anning took his hand and laughed, "Actually, even though it’s selfish, I feel that Zexiao is wonderful like this."
The elders of the Yu family looked at her in puzzlent. Although they adored their child, they knew Yu Zexiao had a bad temper, was a neat freak, and would often fly off the handle — what’s so good about that?
Jian Anning had her reasoning: "Zexiao has a cleanliness obsession, so he’s not interested in the won who throw themselves at him. His temper isn’t bad; you just need to communicate well with him — at least, I find him considerate and gentle now, and I don’t need to worry about other won enticing him. Aunt Shen, Uncle Yu, I’m really thankful to you; if you hadn’t brought Zexiao into this world, I wouldn’t have t him. Being with him is my blessing."
"What are you talking about, clearly I’m the one who relies on you more." Yu Zexiao also chuckled, and the two didn’t speak further, rely holding each other’s hands tightly.
In a single glance, it seed to convey more than a thousand words, with deep emotions rising between them. It left the four adults across from them wondering what to say.
They didn’t have any issues with the family’s social standing; the reason they questioned Jian Anning was just to know more about her family circumstances.
