“You’re right. My dad is really acting strange today, unlike his usual self. He’s become much more energetic.”
"This is the only person he is willing to contact."
Gu Sinian disagreed with Su Ying's statement, saying, "What you said is incorrect. Your grandmother and your father-in-law still enjoy each other's company."
Su Ying rolled her eyes at him. "Why bring up something you shouldn't talk about? We're his family, that's different, but Dad's feelings for that pretty lady are different, a bit unusual. Is my dad starting a second spring in his life..."
Gu Sinian tapped Su Ying's head helplessly, "Don't overthink it. Sometimes when a man talks to a woman a few more words, it might just be that she's being unreasonable and wants to argue, and she doesn't have any other intentions."
Su Ying watched the show from the sidelines, rubbing her chin. "What do you know? If a man isn't interested in the women around him, but only talks about meaningless topics with a complete stranger he's never met, his motives are definitely not pure."
is that so?
Gu Sinian didn't understand much about relationships between men and women. After all, he only had one woman, his wife, and he had never understood other women or what their needs were.
He had no interest in getting to know anyone.
Before the young girl came to the countryside, he treated all women just like his current father-in-law—uninterested in anyone and cold to everyone.
But it's unusual that my father-in-law is so interested in a strange woman. Not only are they arguing, but he's also trying to find topics to talk about with her.
Perhaps the father-in-law has really taken a liking to this woman he just met, but could it just be wishful thinking on the part of the young wife, or perhaps she's overthinking things?
He admitted that his father-in-law was interested in this pretty woman, but that doesn't necessarily mean there's anything between them.
You just can't get past the age barrier.
"I think you're worrying unnecessarily. Your father is already forty-four this year, and that woman looks close to thirty. Do you think it's appropriate? That's a difference of more than ten years..."
"Don't be so quick-witted, you're always overthinking things."
Su Ying stared intently at the two people arguing loudly not far away. This father of hers was finally not lifeless, but full of energy.
She really likes this kind of dad.
"Age isn't a problem. It's just a ten-year age difference, isn't it? Is that such a big deal?"
Gu Sinian frowned. They were more than ten years apart, almost a generation apart. Wasn't that a serious age difference?
We're not from the same generation anymore.
"You can accept this? She's your peer, maybe not much older than you. If your father-in-law gets together with her, she'll be your stepmother."
Su Ying shrugged nonchalantly, "So what if he's a stepmother? My father had a tough life in the first half, I just hope he can be happy in the second half."
"With someone by his side, he has something to rely on and won't call me every few days to try and steal his wife."
For some reason, Su Ying always thought of her mother when she saw this beautiful older sister.
She felt like she was going crazy.
She mistook a stranger for her mother.
Gu Sinian clasped his hands together and clapped them hard. "That's right. How come I didn't think of such a benefit?"
A while ago at the Qin family home, my father-in-law would call my daughter-in-law whenever he had free time; he was practically becoming a resentful husband.
Finally, I heard something of value. The little girl is absolutely right. It's not good for the father-in-law to focus all his attention on the little girl.
Thinking about it that way, the age difference isn't such a problem.
He can accept that his mother-in-law is a bit younger.
My father-in-law has a new wife and seems to be doing quite well. He has his own wife who dotes on him, so he doesn't care about the young couple's lives.
Gu Sinian had already convinced himself that he had a young mother-in-law.
The couple reached a consensus and were exchanging glances, discussing how to bring them together.
Suddenly, the pretty woman shouted, and everyone's eyes turned to her.
Qin Fang was suddenly startled. They were arguing just a moment ago, so why did he suddenly exclaim in surprise? It was quite frightening.
"What's wrong?"
“That person over there is the one who kidnapped me that day. I don’t know why he kidnapped me.”
Upon hearing that it was a fugitive from the base, Qin Fang grabbed the weapon at his waist and fired in the suspicious direction.
Hearing the commotion, the other soldiers grabbed their weapons and rushed forward to make the arrest.
Su Ying looked around but didn't see anyone. She guessed they were escapees from the base, and she dared not get involved in such a dangerous situation.
Before chasing the criminal, Qin Fang glanced back at her, mistaking her for someone else—a situation he had never encountered before.
He's a complete lunatic, still using stunt doubles at his age.
Isn't this just messing with that girl?
Catching the criminals is the priority.
Seeing her father running faster than a rabbit, Su Ying was afraid of leaving a bad impression on the pretty older sister.
She quickly shook off Gu Sinian's tightly clenched hand and ran to the pretty lady.
"Please don't mind, beautiful lady. My dad is just like that; he doesn't have much romantic experience, but he's a pretty good person."
"I apologize to you on his behalf."
The beautiful woman raised a finger to pause. "Stop. I don't know him well, and you've misunderstood. I have absolutely no feelings for him."
"Besides, I'm young and beautiful, why would I be so foolish as to date an old man over fifty?"
Gu Sinian and Su Ying exchanged a glance. The other person had been so direct, making it a blatant rejection.
It seems that Su Ying's plan to find a second spring for her father is not going to work out.
"Then let's not talk about my dad. I just felt that you and he had a lot in common, so I asked him a question."
"My father is still single and unmarried. He is a very good person and devoted to his partner."
"Your father is still single. So how did you come to be? Men are good at deceiving women. Don't be fooled by a man's superficial charm. If men were reliable, pigs would fly."
Gu Sinian awkwardly touched his nose. He shouldn't be here; he should be far away from here. He got shot even when he was lying down. Who was more resentful than him?
"You guys chat, I'll go check if they've caught the guy yet."
Su Ying nodded, "Go ahead."
Gu Sinian jogged away, leaving only the two of them.
“Actually, my father loves my mother very much, but they separated due to a misunderstanding. He has been looking for us for more than ten years without any news, but he has never given up searching for us.”
“He’s not the kind of man who can’t be relied on. I’ve been recognized by the Qin family now, and my father treats me very well.”
Su Ying slapped herself in disbelief. She had been too talkative, revealing her father's devoted lover persona. Who would dare to have feelings for him now?
Oh no, oh no.
Will she ruin her father's happiness for the rest of his life?
You should just put up with his foul mouth.
But what she said was all true, and the pretty lady will find out in the future. How could she have been so bewitched as to say it?
Su Ying awkwardly and stiffly changed the subject, "My name is Su Ying. What's your name, pretty sister? How should I address you?"
