"Silly child, of course it's between the two of you."
Su Ping was dumbfounded. She turned to look at Xu Yichen, who was standing to the side without saying a word, only to find him with his eyes closed, looking pained and conflicted.
What's going on between them?
She was completely confused; Xu Yichen had a mouth but didn't know how to say a word.
"But the two children are still young, so we can only settle down for now and get married after they graduate."
These words struck Su Ping like a bolt from the blue. It turned out they were discussing her marriage to Xu Yichen!
What should I do if my dad spoils me too much sometimes?
"that……"
Su Ping reached out and tugged at Su Zhinan's sleeve. Just as she was about to explain, she realized that everyone's eyes were on her.
Seeing this, Su Zhinan stroked her hair affectionately and asked, "Pingping, what's wrong?"
Xu Yichen, who had been silent until now, frowned and stared at her. Ever since he learned of Su Ping's feelings for him, he had been avoiding her as much as possible. He never expected that she would threaten suicide to force him to marry her.
Remembering his mother's warning, he could only choose to endure it. As for Yifei, he would find another opportunity to explain to her later.
Seeing that Su Ping seemed to want to say something, Xu Yichen gradually became a little disappointed in her.
He originally thought that his younger sister, whom he had watched grow up, was not a bad person at heart, until this incident occurred. He then realized that she was truly good at pretending and would stop at nothing to achieve her goals.
"Dad, I don't want to marry him anymore."
After Su Ping finished speaking, she felt much better. Even though she had wanted to marry Xu Yichen before, that was all in the past. Now, Xu Yichen was a complete stranger to her, and she didn't want to marry a stranger.
Unexpectedly, Su Zhinan's eyes showed even more heartache after hearing her words.
He only has this one precious daughter, so he spoils her a bit and basically grants her every wish.
So he knew his daughter's temperament and knew that if she liked something, she would definitely find a way to get it.
And now, in order not to hurt this brat from the Xu family, she is actually willing to wrong herself.
His daughter, Su, cannot suffer such injustice!
Xu Yichen was surprised by Su Ping's words and looked at her with some suspicion. He didn't know if she was telling the truth or if she was planning something else.
Before Su Zhinan could speak, Zhen Xiang assured him, "Pingping, don't worry. Yichen hurt you before, but don't worry, he will definitely break up with that girl completely in the future, or I won't let him off the hook!"
Su Ping clearly felt a change in Xu Yichen's gaze upon her, and suddenly felt somewhat powerless.
She suddenly felt like she had worked hard for so long only to be brought back to square one.
What's wrong with people these days? When she was making a scene, nobody cared, but now that she's quiet and doesn't want to get married anymore, everyone's backing her up.
Su Ping wanted to struggle a little more, but before she could even open her mouth, Su Zhinan thought she was going to belittle herself again. After telling Zhen Xiang that they would discuss the wedding date another day, he directly pulled her out of the Xu family home.
"Dad, calm down. I'm not of legal age yet, so I can't get married."
The two houses were close by. After hearing what Su Ping said, Su Zhinan didn't get in the car. Instead, he sighed, took Su Ping's hand, and prepared to walk back.
“Pingping, Dad didn’t know you liked that Xu Yichen so much. It wasn’t until I almost lost you this time that I realized how much I’ve neglected you all these years because I’ve only been focused on making money.”
"Don't worry, even if there are several more Xu Yichens, let alone one, Dad won't stop you."
Su Ping couldn't believe these words would come from Su Zhinan's mouth; what kind of father encourages his daughter like this?
besides……
Su Ping suddenly slapped her thigh. What was with the look Xu Yichen gave her when she left?
It's as if she was the one who conceived of how things turned out this way. She didn't remember anything when she woke up and was completely confused.
On the other side, Song Yifei sat blankly in front of the computer, her mind replaying the tone of Xu Yichen's voice when she called him earlier.
He said he might be a bit busy lately and asked me not to contact him for the time being.
This was the first time he had spoken to him in this tone since they had known each other for so long.
Could it be because of Su Ping?
"Knock knock knock..."
Three rhythmic knocks sounded on the door, and Song Yifei slowly raised her head.
The knocking stopped, but at this hour, it could only be her younger brother, Song Qi, knocking on her door.
Xiao Qi is quite sensitive, and Song Yifei didn't want him to worry, so she composed herself before going over and opening the door.
"Xiao Qi, don't you have a part-time job tomorrow? Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Looking at Song Yifei's face, with reddened eyes but a forced smile, Song Qi felt a tightness in his chest.
My sister barely ate a couple of bites of dinner before saying she had no appetite and went back to her room. She hasn't come out since, so it's obvious that the man was affecting her.
The thought of Xu Yichen made Song Qi feel uncomfortable. Before his sister met him, she had a lot of smiles on her face.
After getting to know him, my sister's smiles visibly diminished, and even after I managed to cheer her up, she would quickly fall silent again.
He didn't like this feeling, but he knew his sister liked him, so even if he didn't like that boy, he still hoped his sister would be happy.
But now it's obvious that my sister is heartbroken because of Xu Yichen. He has such a good sister, it's all that boy's fault, and also that girl I saw in the hospital room that day...
"Xiao Qi?"
Seeing that he kept his eyes down and didn't speak, Song Yifei asked again.
Song Qi snapped out of his daze, looked up, and smiled as he handed the warm milk to Song Yifei.
"Sister, you haven't eaten much. Drink some warm milk, or your stomach will feel uncomfortable tonight."
The warmth in her palm made Song Yifei feel a little complicated. Since her mother passed away, she and her younger brother had been relying on each other. Now that her brother had grown up, it seemed that Song Qi took care of her more often in their daily lives.
Song Yifei smiled and reached out to touch his hair as before, but paused when she noticed the height difference between them and patted his shoulder instead.
"Xiao Qi has grown up and knows how to care for his older sister. Don't worry, your older sister is fine."
Watching Song Yifei's actions, Song Qi suddenly felt a little dazed, as if, besides his sister, there was someone else who had done the same thing to him before...
He then chuckled self-deprecatingly, saying that in his more than twenty years of life, he had only had contact with his sister, so how could there be anyone else? Besides, he would not allow anyone else to touch him.
"Is there anything else?"
Seeing the subtle expression on his face, Song Yifei couldn't help but ask.
Yun Qi quickly came to his senses and shook his head: "I watched my sister finish drinking it."
