"I'll go to the market to buy some vegetables and cook for you and He Chi at noon."
Jiang Yining was also having trouble figuring out how to be alone with Teacher He, and she understood that he was giving her some space, so she said, "Thank you, Teacher He."
After He Yuwen left, Jiang Yining put down his teacup and stood up.
Just now, Teacher Lin entered the study room with a feather duster. Jiang Yining was worried that He Chi would really be beaten, so he walked over lightly.
At this moment, in the study, Lin Shu didn't know where to start. She looked at He Chi in front of her. He inherited his father's facial features, deep and tough, but his temperament was different from both of them.
He Chi has been unruly and arrogant since he was a child. He refused to follow his family's arrangements. Later, he insisted on becoming a special police officer and almost couldn't come back from a mission.
Ling Yan and He Chi have been brothers for many years. They joined the police force together. During that mission, Ling Yan unfortunately died.
Because of this incident, He Chi's grandmother refused to let He Chi stay in the team and went on a hunger strike to force He Chi to leave the police force.
She also worried a lot about her son. Even if she didn't want to, she turned a blind eye and let He Chi choose the life he liked.
Lin Shu suppressed his temper and said calmly, "He Chi, you shouldn't have dragged Yining into this mess. Yining hasn't had an easy time these past few years."
He Chi was silent. His parents were both teachers and were used to a stable and steady life. In their eyes, he was being rebellious if he didn't do what they asked.
He spoke calmly, "Mom, I know, but I'm really not fooling around this time. Jiang Yining and I got the certificate after careful consideration."
"I didn't tell you first because I was afraid you wouldn't agree to us getting married."
Lin Shu snorted, "You still want to get married even though you know I don't agree?"
Hearing this, He Chi chuckled, "Mom, look at what you said. If you don't agree, I can't get married?"
He Chi added, "The Qing Dynasty has fallen, and marriage is now independent."
Seeing that he refused to admit his mistake, Lin Shu got angry and said, "You should be more responsible in your marriage, He Chi. You're almost thirty years old, and you're still acting so frivolously!"
"How do you know I'm not serious about marriage?"
Lin Shu couldn't help but throw a feather duster at He Chi. "If you were serious, you wouldn't have quietly dragged Yining to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the marriage certificate. How many times have you two met?"
"Yining is a good child. She can find someone who understands her and loves her. You are harming her!"
He Chi didn't dodge, but just stood there and let Teacher Lin swing the feather duster at him. The pain was nothing to him.
Hearing the noise inside, Jiang Yining hurriedly opened the study door and stood in front of He Chi, "Teacher, don't blame He Chi, I was the one who suggested getting the marriage certificate."
Lin Shu didn't believe it at all. "Yining, don't help him shirk responsibility. I must teach this rebellious son a lesson today."
Jiang Yining spoke faster than his brain could handle, "I'm not lying, I like him."
He Chi glanced down with interest at Jiang Yining who was standing in front of him.
This excuse was quite good and it frightened Teacher Lin.
Jiang Yining said again with certainty, "Teacher, I really like He Chi, otherwise I wouldn't get married with him."
Lin Shu's mind was in a mess. She looked at Jiang Yining and asked again uncertainly, "Yining, don't lie to me, do you really like He Chi?"
Jiang Yining nodded solemnly.
Lin Shu's gaze left Jiang Yining and fell on He Chi behind her. He looked back and forth at the two of them in disbelief.
It's as if to say, "What's so good about this guy that you like him?"
But apart from anything else, He Chi is handsome, with a tall and straight figure, and his appearance is quite attractive to girls, but he has a cold and hard personality and is not considerate.
Lin Shu looked at He Chi, "What about you?"
He Chi had no choice but to follow Jiang Yining's excuse, "I like her too." This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
