Although Ji Tong is already an adult, her household registration book has always been with her parents and has never been separated.
Upon hearing this, Ji's mother's expression immediately changed: "Dating is fine, but don't joke about marriage. Marriage is a big deal. If you're dating and it doesn't work out, you can break up. But once you start getting the marriage certificate, if you find it doesn't work out again, you'll have to get a divorce!"
Ji Tong was a little confused. "Mom, you've been arranging blind dates for me every day lately, treating me like a piece of trash that's going to rot in your hands. You've been picking out all those ugly guys and freaks, acting like you couldn't wait to marry me off the next day. Gong Yanli is much better than all those ugly guys and freaks you've picked out, or rather, none of those ugly guys and freaks are even worthy of being compared to him. Just how much of a prejudice do you have against him?!"
The atmosphere at the dining table was quiet for a few seconds.
Mrs. Ji put down her chopsticks and sighed, "Forget it, my daughter is all grown up now and has her own wings. My words don't count anymore. If you want to date him, go ahead, but if you want to get married, you have to meet each other's parents first. Don't rush into it, understand?"
Ji Tong was a little taken aback.
Why did her mother suddenly change so much?
Just a moment ago, I didn't believe that she and Gong Yanli were dating, but in just two minutes, her attitude has changed?
Seeing her daughter's expression, Ji's mother spoke first without her having to ask, "You are my daughter. I've watched you grow up since you were little. How could I not understand you? If you really didn't like him, you wouldn't be speaking up for him like this."
"...That could also be because I genuinely believe in his character, and my liking him doesn't necessarily mean I have to be in a relationship with him."
"Alright, if you like him, you'll definitely tell him. If he rejected you, you wouldn't react like this when you mention him."
Ji's mother knew Ji Tong's personality all too well.
Ji Tong stopped hiding it. She buried her face in the bowl, glanced at her mother, and whispered, "Anyway, Gong Yanli is doing fine."
It was clearly Ji Tong who suggested taking a week to consider the matter.
But she regretted it that night.
Looking at Gong Yanli's WeChat messages, I wanted to send something several times, but I held back.
Unable to contain her joy, Ji Tong could only disturb Xu Wan, who had just experienced a brush with death.
Xu Wan had a full check-up at the hospital during the day, and there were actually no problems left.
However, Xu Wan had to stay in the hospital for a while longer and show some symptoms of concussion, with the aim of worsening Jiang De'an's sentence.
Jiang Tingzhou was also with her at the hospital.
Ji Tong's message arrived at 10:30 p.m.
The message was very simple.
Ji Tong: [Wanwan, I'm starting a relationship next week!]
Xu Wan was chatting with Jiang Tingzhou when she showed him the message on her phone screen.
Then I replied with a message: 【Why next week?】
After replying to her next question, she asked Jiang Tingzhou, "Dr. Gong, you called him over, right?"
Jiang Tingzhou did not deny it, "Yes, I was worried, so I asked him to come and check the test results for you."
Xu Wan asked again, "Did you tell him that Ji Tong was also here?"
"I just mentioned it casually."
By saying this, Jiang Tingzhou was actually helping Gong Yanli.
Before Xu Wan could speak, Ji Tong called.
After the call connected, Ji Tong asked first, "Wanwan, are you feeling unwell? Are you sleepy? Did my call bother you?"
Ji Tong glanced at Jiang Tingzhou beside her and said, "I'm not sleepy, I'm not feeling unwell, and you didn't bother me."
Hearing this answer, Ji Tong finally felt relieved and told Xu Wan everything that had happened that afternoon.
Towards the end, the laughter in his voice was barely concealed. "Let me tell you, he's really interesting. He seems incredibly calm when I say things, but unfortunately, his ears are like alarm clocks—they turn red instantly, and you can't hide it from him."
