It is an undeniable fact and an inevitable process for a daughter to grow up.
As a father, I always have to accept it.
But when Ji Xingguo looked back, he was shocked to realize that his daughter had actually changed during the years he had consciously ignored.
Only today did he see that radiant smile on her face again, the same innocent and carefree smile he had when she was a young girl.
At this moment, Ji Xingguo glanced deeply at Lei Tingjun, who was standing to the side, staring at Ji Wanmei misbehaving with doting eyes.
Is it because of the Thunder Army?
Is it because of him that my daughter experiences this pure, childlike joy?
A girl's smile doesn't lie.
She genuinely likes Lei Tingjun, and Lei Tingjun must genuinely treat her well and pamper her for her to show such a happy and joyful smile.
Sigh, my daughter has grown up. She will have her own husband, her own family, and in the future, her own children, and people she will need to protect and love.
It's time for him, the old father who has protected her for over twenty years, to let go.
Ji Xingguo's original intention for today's meal was to get Lei Tingjun drunk and see how he behaved when he was drunk.
Unexpectedly, it turned out that Ji Wanmei got drunk, revealing another, more aggressive side of her personality, which made her father feel very ashamed.
After Lei Tingjun finally calmed her down and coaxed her back to her room to rest, he managed to soothe her.
Ji Xingguo sat alone outside the dining room, waiting for Lei Tingjun to come out.
Lei Tingjun quietly closed the door, walked through the living room, and sat down alone with Ji Xingguo.
Only now are these two men of different generations having a private conversation.
Ji Xingguo didn't stand on ceremony either, and his first words were: "You're already twenty-eight this year, not young anymore. When do you plan to start thinking about marriage?"
Lei Tingjun smiled slightly and said, "Factory Manager, I've been waiting for Meimei for four years. Of course, I want to marry her as soon as possible. As long as she agrees, as long as you give your approval, I'm ready anytime."
"After we get married, I want to settle down in Pingdong City. I've already prepared the house. Meimei and I will go there next month to inspect the renovation. Why don't you come with us?"
“Her current work is mainly in East China, so I plan to buy a house there so that it will be convenient for her to work. When you retire, you can come and live with us in Pingdong.”
"Before that, I will take Meimei back to my hometown to pay respects to my parents and grandmother."
“I have no relatives left. My parents died early. Even after I get married, it will just be Meimei and me. I hope you won’t look down on me. From now on, Meimei and I will take care of you in your old age.”
Ji Xingguo listened to Lei Tingjun's words without saying a word.
After a long silence, he looked at Lei Tingjun with a serious expression and said with a heavy tone, "Lei Tingjun, you must treat her well from now on and not let her suffer the slightest grievance. If you dare to bully her or make her sad, I will never forgive you."
