How could he possibly stop her? He loved her and never intended to confine her; he wanted her to soar even higher.

The rest of the words were left unsaid, but the mind was clear.

Dai Changsheng patted Xing Yuan on the shoulder: "Think about it more."

Xing Yuan remained silent; he was indeed thinking.

Dai Changsheng's words today gave him a lot of inspiration. He could tell that Su Luo had no feelings for him, so she kept her feelings to herself and didn't bother her.

But what if love doesn't affect her career development?

In the past two years, my family has been pressuring me to reveal this, and my uncle once let it slip while drunk, which initially caused my parents to object.

The Xing family is indeed not an ordinary family.

But when they found out it was just wishful thinking on his part, his parents were unusually speechless.

Xing Yuan knew this was a blow to his parents' hearts. After all, their outstanding son was only secretly in love, and they didn't even have the chance to break them up.

This year, the pressure has intensified, and his words and actions all express dissatisfaction with his unrequited love. His father, enraged, even cursed him, "You coward! Don't ever say you're my son again!"

Xing Yuan sighed. He was genuinely worried that if he said it, Su Luo would stay far away from him.

"I really don't know what to say to you. You're still hesitating? If I'm not mistaken, Yi Guohai is about to come out, isn't he?"

Seeing Xing Yuan's conflicted expression, Dai Changsheng was truly disappointed in him.

He and Xing Yuan were close friends; they knew each other inside and out.

Even if Xing Yuan's parents are a bit cold to Su Luo, they would never bully her.

Xing Yuan is reliable, and the little guy gets along well with him. In a few years, the little guy will be going to school. Children speak without thinking, and if the little guy doesn't have a father, he'll easily be targeted.

If Xing Yuan dares to confess his feelings, his senior brother will help him.

But this guy was actually hesitating. Dai Changsheng was speechless, feeling a sense of helplessness, like talking to a brick wall.

He's already said all that, can't this guy just give a straight answer about confessing his feelings and asking for his advice?

"His coming out won't affect them."

When Yi Guohai was mentioned, Xing Yuan's eyes darkened.

At the time, Yi Guohai's father-in-law did use his connections to obstruct the case, but he also had his way with the military. So Yi Guohai was eventually sentenced to three years. He behaved well and will be released soon.

If he knows what's good for him, he'll walk his own narrow path. But if he dares to come looking for anyone from the Su family, he'll only end up with endless jail time.

"Forget it, I can't explain it to you."

Dai Changsheng was speechless. He was too lazy to say anything more to Xing Yuan and ended the conversation there.

Xing Yuan moved his lips, but ultimately didn't offer any further explanation.

...

When Su Luo brought Su Tiantian home, everyone was still awake.

The children went out to play, and Su Tiantian ran out again as soon as she got home.

The older brothers don't like playing mud games, but there are other fun games too.

More than twenty children played hide-and-seek together; it was so much fun!

Zhou Chunmei smiled at Su Luo and waved, "A Luo, come and sit for a while."

There was a bowl of melon seeds on the small table in the yard.

The whole family looked at Su Luo. Su Luo went over and sat down, then asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

The family has really worked hard these past few days organizing Grandpa Dai's funeral.

Even though Dai Ping'an's death was a joyous occasion, he wouldn't allow anyone to cry and waile.

Those who came to the funeral were all old friends of Dai Ping'an; some who couldn't attend sent their condolences.

They didn't cry until the burial, when they couldn't help but shed tears.

Now, a few days have passed, and everyone has recovered.

With remembrance in our hearts, the living carry the blessings of the departed and move forward.

Worried that her family members might be unwell, Su Luo immediately looked at them. As a doctor, she was skilled in both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine. Judging from their complexions, they all looked healthy and didn't seem to be feeling unwell.

"Oh, we're all fine, we just wanted to talk to you."

Zhou Chunmei smiled, took Su Luo's hand, and winked at her.

Su Luo suddenly realized: "Okay."

She was relieved that he wasn't sick.

Su Dahai smiled gently at Su Luowen, knowing it was inconvenient for him to ask.

Su Chenggong was a man of few words, and he couldn't bring himself to ask the question.

Su Chengguo was getting anxious. Before he could speak, Zhou Chunmei, her eyes sparkling, asked first, "A Luo, do you have many friends at school? Is anyone pursuing you?"

As soon as Zhou Chunmei asked the question, everyone looked at Su Luo.

Liu Xiaohua was the most excited, and now her daughter is beautiful and outstanding, making her extremely proud.

But every time she sees her two sons with happy families, she still hopes that Su Luo can also find a good match.

Life is long, and she hopes her daughter can meet the right person, have a happy family, someone to discuss big and small matters with, someone to share the mundane things like cooking and cleaning, someone to whisper comforting words to each other at night, or even just gossip about others behind their backs.

Facing the concerned looks from her family, Su Luo smiled helplessly and said, "Mom and Dad, eldest brother and sister-in-law, second brother and sister-in-law, I don't plan to get married for the time being. If I do, I'll tell you."

She had suitors at school, but she wasn't interested, so she rejected all their advances.

"A-Luo, what kind of girl do you like?"

Zhou Chunmei looked at Su Luo and continued to ask.

Su Luo paused for a moment, then shook her head: "I hadn't thought about it."

For a fleeting moment, Xing Yuan came to her mind, but only for a split second.

It's impossible for her and Xing Yuan to be together. They have nothing in common. They've met countless times over the years, but each time they never exchange more than ten sentences.

Xing Yuan is so much older than her, so she must seem immature to him.

She didn't want to marry out of the family, and with Xing Yuan's family background, it was impossible for her to marry into his family.

Their pursuits are different; they are not on the same path and cannot be together.

She had little contact with other people, so it was even less likely that she would think about them.

"A-Luo, we all support you in bravely pursuing your own happiness. We hope you can meet the right person and be happy. If you don't, it's okay."

Liu Xiaohua looked at Su Luo tenderly, her eyes filled with a hint of heartache.

If the time isn't right, then there's no rush.

"No rush, no rush. You're only twenty-one. Take your time looking."

Su Dahai sighed inwardly, but felt even more concern for Su Luo.

Li Xue smiled at Su Luo.

"No rush, no rush. The weather will be nice tomorrow. I've discussed it with my older brother and Dad. We'll take you out to sea to relax. We can even go scuba diving."

Su Chengguo smiled and ended the topic, then started talking about going to sea.

With rapid development in recent years, none of them have taken their families out to sea.

Su Chengguo dreamed yesterday that he was taking them out to sea, and everyone was overjoyed. So he mentioned it to Su Dahai and Su Chenggong, and the three of them made a decision.

There's no time like the present, let's do it tomorrow.

Aren't you going with the fleet?

Zhou Chunmei asked excitedly. She was happy to be able to go to sea, but she was also a little worried when she thought about the fleet. The Su family's fleet was quite large now, and they were all very busy. If they were going to sea just for fun, then it wouldn't be worth it.

"I'm not worried about the fleet. Our whole family goes out to sea, and we might reap even more rewards."

Su Chengguo hugged Zhou Chunmei and said with a bright smile.
