Adhering to the idea that the more you say, the more mistakes you make, Meng Zhao pretended to be a little impatient and rarely responded. However, faced with her obviously concerned expression, he almost couldn't keep up the act.
Fortunately, not long after, Meng's father brought in a plate of pastries and placed it in front of Meng Zhao.
"Zhaozhao, these are all your favorite foods. I thought that if you come back, you can eat them anytime. Try them. I noticed that my daughter has lost weight these past few days since she came back."
The burly man looked at his daughter, his eyes welling up with tears.
Looking at the pastries in front of him, Meng Zhao was quite moved. The book once said that the reason why the original owner was so willful and unreasonable was because he was spoiled by his parents. But who wouldn't like such unconditional pampering and favoritism?
Meng's parents sat beside him, watching Meng Zhao eat the snacks bite by bite. Only when he had almost finished did Meng's father ask:

If she stays at her parents' home, she'll be more likely to be gossiped about. It's better for her to stay in the Shen family first and improve their relationship. As for whether she'll get married in three years, that's something to talk about then.
She spoke very carefully, worried that her sudden change of mind would arouse their suspicion. To her surprise, they did not hesitate at all and unconditionally supported their daughter's decision.
