The clinking of glasses echoed around the room as Yu Guanyi continuously invited drinks, and Ren Feng accepted them readily. It didn't take long before Yu Guanyi was a bit tipsy.
Yu Aiguo, having drunk almost as much, noticed that Yu Guanyi and Ren Feng seed to want to have a conversation. So, he got up and left.
Yan Xue i had initially wanted to speak but was pulled away by Yu Aiguo.
"Ren Feng, maybe drink a little less. Grandfather usually doesn't drink," Yu Qingquan advised.
"Qingquan, I'm not drunk yet. Go on, go back to your room. I have so things to discuss with Ren Feng."
Yu Qingquan was reluctant, sensing that the atmosphere felt a bit strange.
"Grandfather, I can pour drinks for you while I'm here." She glanced at Ren Feng but didn't want to move.
"Can't I pour my own drinks? Fine, Qingquan, go inside. I can't even beat this kid, yet you're already siding with him? What if you start dating officially; you'll completely forget your grandfather, won't you?" Mr. Yu urged her away.
Yu Qingquan's face flushed slightly before she headed into the room, leaving Ren Feng and Mr. Yu alone at the table.
After everyone left, Yu Guanyi poured Ren Feng a drink. "Ren Feng, your dical skills are impressive. If your character could match that, it would be perfect."
Ren Feng felt a bit aggrieved. My character is pretty good, okay? Has soone said it's not? Nope.
"When exactly did you start wooing my granddaughter?"
"You know when Yu Qingquan and I first t. We've only developed feelings for each other a few months ago, no more than three months," Ren Feng replied.
His answer was ant to show Mr. Yu that he hadn't done anything inappropriate yet.
"Are you sure?" Mr. Yu stared at Ren Feng with bright, sharp eyes.
"I'm sure," Ren Feng affird firmly. In any case, nothing's happened between him and Yu Qingquan yet.
"Moreover, sir, Qingquan is a dutiful girl, very obedient to you. If you forbid her from seeing , she really won't. Later on, it was who persistently pursued her."
Ren Feng started pretending to slur his words, thinking that if he faced questions he couldn't answer, he could simply fake being drunk and sneak under the table to avoid them.
With that in mind, Ren Feng again initiated a toast with Mr. Yu, hoping to get the old man drunk first.
"Is that so?" Mr. Yu looked at Ren Feng suspiciously and after a toast said, "How did you and Qingquan et?"
"We t at the hospital. I got injured once, and she happened to be the nurse in charge of caring for . As we spent more ti together, we found common topics and gradually grew closer," Ren Feng explained.
"Well, there's a very important question. How far have you two gotten?" Mr. Yu eyed Ren Feng.
"How far have we gotten?" Ren Feng felt helpless; today seed to be about Mr. Yu's interrogation.
"Don't try to dodge. I saw you flirting with my granddaughter last ti. What's your intention with her?" Mr. Yu raised his voice.
"Oh, Mr. Yu, don't worry. We're innocent, only behaving as a couple would. However, rest assured, we haven't crossed the ultimate boundary," Ren Feng quickly replied.
Mr. Yu, tipsy, almost started scolding right there. My granddaughter is innocent, but that doesn't an this kid is the sa. That day, he clearly saw him lifting the hem of his granddaughter's clothes, and now he was claiming they'd only held hands—what shalessness.
Though Mr. Yu intended to accept Ren Feng today, given his impressive dical skills and his positive impact on Huaxia Traditional Chinese dicine, for so reason, when discussing this topic, the kid just beca less and less likable.
Filled with frustration, Mr. Yu continued toasting three more glasses with Ren Feng.
"I have one last question." Mr. Yu fixed his gaze on Ren Feng, "How do you plan to treat my granddaughter in the future?"
"How to treat her?"
"When are you planning to marry her? Do you guarantee to love only my granddaughter for life? Are you sure you don't have other won?"
Mr. Yu's eyes were sharp and penetrating, locked onto Ren Feng.
Ren Feng's head was spinning, and he suddenly collapsed onto the table.
Very tily, he pretended to be drunk.
"Ren Feng. You little brat, get up—don't pretend to be drunk in front of ."
No matter how Mr. Yu thumped him, Ren Feng remained motionless, a faint snoring even emanating from him.
He couldn't answer those questions.
Yu Qingquan erged from her room, saying, "Grandfather, you're both drunk. It's ti to stop drinking."
"Oh, granddaughter, look at this-----"
"Grandfather, I know. I'll handle this." Yu Qingquan helped Mr. Yu up and led him to his room.
Yu Aiguo and Yan Xue i watched from the side, slightly helpless.
They quite liked Ren Feng, but it seed Mr. Yu had so prejudices. Nevertheless, they decided to leave it up to Qingquan.
Then, Yu Qingquan also helped Ren Feng into the room.
When she saw the closed-eyed Ren Feng, she whispered, "Alright, open your eyes now."
Ren Feng opened his eyes, relieved to see Mr. Yu was not around.
He realized now that Mr. Yu was scarier than Yan Xue i.
"Did your grandfather catch on to anything?" Ren Feng asked.
"No." Yu Qingquan shook her head slightly.
She was quiet; she'd heard the questions Mr. Yu asked, rembering the two won she had seen during her hospital visit—each was stunningly beautiful.
For a while, Yu Qingquan was silent inside.
In the beginning, she hadn't really loved Ren Feng, but without knowing when, he started occupying her heart. She couldn't help but be affected by him, think of him when she had ti, and feel joyful when he gave her a small gift.
This was love; even without having been in love, Yu Qingquan knew it.
But what about his feelings for her?
Yu Qingquan lowered her head, observing her own slim figure and her ample chest, wondering if Ren Feng only liked her for her body.
"Ren Feng, I want to ask you sothing too," Yu Qingquan said softly.
"Hmm, what is it?" Ren Feng looked at her.
"I, I..." Yu Qingquan hesitated, her eyes filled with panic, unsure how to formulate the question.
The room's atmosphere grew silent, and clever as he was, Ren Feng quickly guessed what Yu Qingquan wanted to say.
Ren Feng smiled a bit, raising his head from the table and grabbing her hand, saying, "Did you hear what grandfather said?"
"I heard so," Yu Qingquan replied quietly.
Ren Feng paused, "I do have other won."
Yu Qingquan's heart wrenched, nearly bringing tears to her eyes.
No woman wants the man she loves to have other won, or else, it would an she doesn't truly love him. Love is the most selfish thing in the world; it doesn't tolerate sharing.
n aren't much different, with few willing to accept their girlfriend seeing soone else too.
"I know." Yu Qingquan raised her head high, feeling the tears in her eyes threatening to burst out.
"You know?" Ren Feng asked in surprise.
"I know." Yu Qingquan nodded affirmatively.
"And you—"
"I know, that day I saw them in the hospital room. I initially wanted to stay away, but you kept approaching . I know this isn't your fault; the main reason lies in , as I can't control myself. By now, I've fallen in love with you." Tears threatened to overflow, and Yu Qingquan hurriedly covered her face with her hands, but the tears still slipped through her fingers.
Ren Feng tightly embraced the still slightly trembling Yu Qingquan. His eyes were full of pain and tenderness; Yu Qingquan might seem gentle, but who knew her inner struggle?
"Qingquan, I promise, I will make you happy!"
