Tang Qian was very sincere, and Qi Zhengmin could refuse Tang Qian's request to stay at her house, but she could not refuse Tang Qian's request to come to her house and visit.

"Alright, I'll visit you in person tomorrow. Can you tell me about your parents?" Tang Qian asked. After all, it was his first visit, so it was best to learn as much as possible to avoid offending his future in-laws.

“Uh, they’re all very friendly,” Qi Zhengmin said. “My dad might be a bit serious, but once he approves of you, he’ll treat you very well. Oh, and my mom is a gentle but strong woman who often does charity work. Oh, and she really likes lilies.”

"Thank you," Tang Qian said with a smile. "I'll definitely buy lilies for your mother tomorrow. Do you have any more?"

"Uh, that seems to be all," Qi Zhengmin said with a smile. "By the way, your manners and speech are excellent; they'll enjoy being around you."

Qi Zhengmin said.

Tang Qian felt a little guilty. If he intended to be just ordinary friends with Qi Zhengmin, or simply business partners, he wouldn't need to go to such lengths!

What he wants to do now is to win over Qi Zhengmin and marry her.

Any parent who sees a man pursuing their daughter will treat him with a more stern look or a more cautious attitude.

"Okay, I'll try my best," Tang Qian said with a smile, then took Qi Zhengmin's hand. "My parents like you very much and hope you'll visit our home often."

Qi Zhengmin smiled and said, "Go when you have time."

It seems that seeing his parents too often isn't a good idea right now. Qi Zhengmin's words were somewhat perfunctory, and he didn't give a direct answer.

Tang Qian felt a little sad, but he also knew that this was something he had to bear, since he had done so many promiscuous things in the past.

In short, Tang Qian regarded all the "hardships" brought by Qi Zhengmin as his karma.

He only wanted to be sincere, perform well, and redeem his former dissolute image.

The next morning, Tang Qian washed up and brought the gifts.

After receiving Tang Qian's call to say he was leaving, Qi Zhengmin became somewhat restless.

"Jung-min, what's wrong?" Annie asked. "Are you waiting for your friend?"

Qi Zhengmin smiled and said, "Yes, Mom."

"Hehe, is he your boyfriend?" Annie laughed. If he were just a regular friend, her daughter wouldn't be so anxious.

Qi Zhengmin smiled and said, "He's pursuing me."

“Okay, then Mom will see if this boy is worthy of my daughter’s affections,” Annie said with a smile, feeling very happy that her daughter had moved on from her past heartbreak.

What kind of man could make a daughter forget that unforgettable past?

"Mom." Qi Zhengmin's face flushed slightly, looking quite embarrassed.

“Hehe, it’s a promise, we’re friends. If you have someone you like, tell me.” Annie took her daughter’s arm. “Now I’m not your mother anymore, but your best friend, a best friend you can talk to about anything. Come on, tell me about that boy, okay? If you two are truly in love, Mom will support you.”

Seeing the worry in his mother's hopeful eyes, Qi Zhengmin knew that their previous passionate romance had frightened them.

Thinking back to how I was so desperate for a man, drinking myself into oblivion all day, it was truly absurd.

Such behavior only punished her and those who loved her.

However, the man who had broken her heart had already packed his bags and left, embarking on another journey of travel and womanizing.

Qi Zhengmin smiled and said, "Mom, he's from Yanjing. His parents were founding fathers of the People's Republic of China. He has two older brothers and an older sister, all of whom are high-ranking government officials. He didn't want to go into politics, so he went into business."

“Oh, that’s his external environment. What about him personally?” Anne asked. “Is he an upright person?”

Qi Zhengmin listened with a bitter expression and said, "He is an upright person, but he had a few unsatisfactory relationships in the past."

Qi Zhengmin concealed the fact that Tang Qian was having an extramarital affair.

If his mother finds out, she will definitely have a bad impression of Tang Qian.

So far, Qi Zhengmin still hopes that Tang Qian will leave a good impression on his parents.

In fact, Qi Zhengmin liked Tang Qian much more than Tang Qian imagined.

Qi Zhengmin has now remembered that saying and will not be the one who gives more in love.

This is Qi Zhengmin's summary of his experiences after being hurt in the past.

“As long as he’s an honest person, you can try to get along with him,” Anne said with a smile. “Before I met your father, we both had relationships, so there’s no need to worry too much. As long as you’re loyal and trust each other after you get together, that’s all that matters.”

"Thank you, Mom." Qi Zhengmin felt a little happier after hearing this.

What's past is past; we should look to the future.

Qi Shuliang learned last night that guests would be visiting today, but he didn't pay much attention, assuming they were just ordinary business partners.

Around nine o'clock in the morning, Tang Qian took a taxi to get there.

Upon hearing that Tang Qian had arrived, Qi Zhengmin personally came out to greet him, so as not to embarrass Tang Qian.

"Thank you for coming out to greet me." Tang Qian felt relieved when he saw Qi Zhengmin.

Today, he was as nervous as a young boy, constantly worried about not gaining the approval of his future in-laws, making his pursuit of his wife even more tortuous and difficult.

“It’s only proper hospitality for me to welcome you to my home,” Qi Zhengmin said with a smile. “Alright, my parents are inside. I’ll take you there.”

Qi Shuliang, who was inside the house, had already received some news from his wife.

Qi Shuliang was taken aback and somewhat angry, but at the same time he thought about how his daughter was not young and had suffered heartbreak in the past.

The fact that she's now willing to bring a man home as a guest suggests that she has likely moved on from her past heartbreak.

This is good news in a bad way.

But the thought of his beloved daughter, whom he had doted on since childhood, becoming someone else's wife in the future made him feel somewhat unhappy.

He was conflicted; he hoped she could find someone she liked, but he also wanted his daughter to stay by his side forever.

“Darling, our daughter is all grown up now. Shouldn’t we bless her?” Anne smiled, gently comforting her husband.

Qi Shuliang smiled wryly, "Yes, I wish my daughter well. This time I will take a closer look. If this man is not good, I will not agree to his marriage."

“Let’s wait and see,” Anne said. “It would be unfair to our daughter if we made a hasty judgment that the man is no good without understanding him first.”

"Okay," Qi Shuliang nodded. "I'll do as you say."

Qi Shuliang was worried. His son was so old, yet he didn't date or get married.

After their daughter experienced heartbreak, they dared not talk about relationships in front of her.

In any case, the relationship between the two children is not smooth.

As parents, they saw it all and felt the pain in their hearts.
