Although they had met the young man a few times and trusted his character, they wondered if their daughter's feelings for him were just temporary gratitude, which she might have mistaken for romantic love.
Jiang's mother knew her daughter's personality well; her daughter wasn't the type to easily fall for a man in a short period of time.
Thinking of this, Jiang's mother forced a smile and said earnestly, "Haitang, could you be mistaken?"
You may not have the same romantic feelings for him as a man and woman.
You only feel a special kind of affection for him because you are grateful that he saved you; it's not true love.
Mom thinks you should reconsider carefully, or wait a while and then confirm your true feelings.
Jiang's father fell into deep thought, recalling the scene of his first meeting with Yu Ping'an.
Indeed, he was a down-to-earth and kind-hearted child, and in some ways, he was someone you could entrust your life to.
"Old Jiang, what are you standing there for, lost in thought?"
Why aren't you saying anything?
Seeing that her husband hadn't said a word, Jiang's mother couldn't help but glance at him and urge him on.
"Oh, I was just thinking about something." Jiang's father snapped out of his thoughts and quickly responded to his wife, then continued, "Haitang, your mother doesn't mean to oppose you, she just hopes you can recognize what you truly want in your heart."
Never make a life-long decision based on a momentary desire to repay a debt of gratitude.
Give yourselves more time; it's a responsible attitude for both of you.
Dad also hopes you can be happy, so there's no need to rush into talking about marriage.
"Mom and Dad, I know you're worried about me, but I know very well what I'm doing."
I'm so old, how could I not distinguish between gratitude and liking?
As for the marriage you mentioned, that's still a long way off, so you really don't need to worry too much.
My liking for Brother Ping An is definitely not just a passing fancy.
Jiang Haitang's eyes were firm, and her tone carried an undeniable determination.
These words seemed to be a declaration of inner resolve to both his parents and himself.
"Okay! Even if you genuinely like him."
Haitang, your father and I have been through a lot; we've seen too many people and things.
You're still young, so you might not understand, but dating and marriage are two completely different things.
Have you considered the cultural differences between you, and your interests and hobbies?
I won't go into details about their status or position for now.
These two points alone could cause you a lot of trouble if you live together in the future.
"I'm not saying Ping An is a bad kid; on the contrary, he's a very good person."
I just think you two aren't a good match.
It's difficult for two incompatible people to find true happiness together.
Mom hopes you can think about it again.
Jiang's mother spoke earnestly, her eyes filled with worry and love.
"Mom, I don't care about cultural differences at all."
Lifestyle habits and hobbies can be gradually changed and adapted to for the sake of the other person.
Mom, we've only just started dating, and I think we have plenty of time to get to know each other.
If it's really like you say, then it's not too late for us to break up later.
"But I can't separate from you now, and I'm not willing to do it."
Even if we eventually find it's not a good fit, at least we tried and went through it, so we won't have any regrets later.
Jiang Haitang spoke with heartfelt sincerity, her eyes shining with unwavering determination, as if she were demonstrating to her mother her steadfast commitment to this relationship.
