Chapter 261 Acceptance
Although Wang Xiuren did not do anything to Yan Shen, he had a gloomy face and did not speak on the way back.
When the traffic light was red, Wang Shan pulled his arm and said coquettishly, "Dad, you are the first one in the family to know this."
"I'd rather not know." Wang Xiuren was furious when he thought about how the beautiful girl he had raised with so much effort was taken away by someone else.
After all, Wang Shan was a child who was raised in the palm of her father's hand. Even if Wang Xiuren was angry, she was not afraid at all.
Instead, she continued to act like a spoiled child: “Dad, you have to have faith in me.”
"What confidence do I have? They will all be taken away by the wild boars outside." Wang Xiuren muttered softly.
Wang Shan saw the traffic light turn green, so she shut up and didn't disturb her father driving.
After getting off the car, Wang Shan followed her father like a puppy and tugged at his clothes, "Dad, believe me, no matter what happens in the future, I will never leave you and mom."
Wang Xiuren looked at his daughter's flattering smile and his expression eased a lot. He took a few deep breaths before speaking, "You can have a relationship, but I won't agree to get married."
"Dad, I'm only 22 years old. What are you thinking?" Wang Shan stared at him with wide eyes, a look of disbelief on her face.
Is twenty-two very young?
Wang Xiuren thought to himself: Twenty-two is already the marriage age stipulated by the state.
But he thought so and agreed with his daughter: "You are right, you are still young, it is too early to get married."
When he entered the house, he found that the old couple had gone back to their room to sleep, and Lin Qiu was sitting alone on the sofa, taking a nap.
"I'm back." Lin Qiu heard the sound and opened his eyes in a daze.
"Why don't you go back to your room and sleep?" Wang Xiuren walked over quickly.
"I thought you guys would be back soon." Lin Qiu yawned, then urged, "It's getting late, Shanshan, go take a shower and go to bed early. I see you've been busy with the exhibition these days and haven't had a good rest."
Wang Shan breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn’t figured out how to tell her mother about this.
What she didn't expect was that while she was taking a shower, Wang Xiuren had already explained the matter to Lin Qiu.
At first, Lin Qiu felt that this matter was both reasonable and unexpected.
My daughter is so outstanding, she must have suitors, but I didn’t expect it to be Yan Shen.
But when I thought about it carefully, I found that Yan Shen had been planning this for a long time.
I took the initiative to tutor my daughter in physics when she was in high school. When she went to college, I would travel back and forth between Shenzhen and the capital with my daughter every holiday.
He even often went with his daughter when she went out to sketch.
I originally naively thought that it was a deep friendship between classmates, but I didn't expect that Yan Shen had other intentions.
"I understand. You should go take a shower and go to bed early. We can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything." Lin Qiu pushed her husband, who looked depressed, into the bathroom.
After taking a shower, Wang Xiuren lay in bed and couldn't fall asleep.
He opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling. "How come time flies so fast? In the blink of an eye, Shanshan has grown up so big that she can even fall in love."
He still remembers how his daughter looked when she was just born. She was a tiny ball, weighing less than five pounds, and even her bones were soft. He didn't even dare to hug her, for fear that he would hurt her if he used a little force.
I also remember the first time she called me "Dad", the shock I felt in my heart was no less than gaining the whole world.
The memories of his daughter flashed through Wang Xiuren's mind quickly like a movie.
"Yes, in a blink of an eye, she is already 22 years old." Lin Qiu held his hand, "In a few years, she should get married, have children, and have her own small family."
"Ah, I feel uncomfortable when I think about her having to take on the responsibilities of being a wife and a mother in the future."
Wang Xiuren held his wife's hand tightly and sighed deeply: "I would rather she didn't grow up so quickly."
Lin Qiu felt very complicated, but he still comforted him: "If she doesn't fall in love or get married by the time she's thirty, I'll see if you'll be anxious."
"I'm not in a hurry! Why should I be in a hurry? If she doesn't want to fall in love or get married, I can support her for the rest of her life." Wang Xiuren sat up and said loudly with his neck stiff.
"Okay, okay, okay!" Lin Qiu was too lazy to argue with this irritated father.
"But no matter how much you don't like it, the child will eventually grow up and have her own family. In the end, it will just be us old couple living together."
Lin Qiu's words made Wang Xiuren fall into deep thought. After a long while, he spoke: "No wonder people say old partner, when we get old, only you and I will be our companions!"
"So you have to be nice to me, otherwise I won't take care of you when you are old." Lin Qiu poked his arm.
"Am I not good enough for you?" Wang Xiuren grabbed her fingers.
"It can be better." Lin Qiu tried hard but did not pull his hand out.
"Okay, okay," Wang Xiuren replied, "When we get old, we can go to the park together to sing and dance."
When Lin Qiu heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "Go to the park and sing and dance by yourself."
She didn't want to embarrass herself in public.
"Isn't it good to go traveling and shopping?"
“We can’t travel and go shopping all the time, right?” Wang Xiuren muttered.
"Then a quiet walk would be nice."
"Okay, I'll listen to you and take a quiet walk." Wang Xiuren lay down again, "Okay, sleep."
Having said that, he still couldn't sleep.
"Stop sighing, one after another." Lin Qiu couldn't help but sit up.
"Did I make a sound?" Wang Xiuren also sat up, thinking that he had sighed in his heart.
"Tell me honestly, is Yan Shen worthy of Shan Shan?" Lin Qiu asked.
Yan Shen has good conditions, including education, height, good looks, and a good family background. Wang Xiuren cannot go against his conscience and say that he is not worthy of her.
"So is he good to Shanshan?"
Although Yan Shen had been planning on his daughter for a long time, one had to admit that he was serious about her.
"That's all." Lin Qiu spread his hands. "I don't want Shanshan to be rich. The money we have saved is enough for her to live a good life. I just hope she can find someone who treats her well with all his heart. At present, there is no problem with Yan Shen."
Wang Xiuren also understood this logic, but he still felt a little uncomfortable.
"Forget it, forget it. My children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."
"That's right, go to bed early, I'm so sleepy."
Lin Qiu really couldn't bear it any longer, and fell asleep not long after lying down.
Wang Xiuren listened to her steady breathing and slowly fell asleep.
The next day, Wang Shan confessed to her mother about her relationship with Yan Shen.
She looked at her mother anxiously, afraid that her mother would disagree.
Lin Qiu nodded and said softly, "I'm glad you can share this good news with your mother. In my opinion, you and Yan Shen are both good children, but love and friendship are different. I hope you can tolerate and trust each other, be honest with each other, and work hard to maintain this relationship."
"Thank you, Mom!" Wang Shan couldn't help but hug her mother.
It’s really great that her love has the support and recognition of her mother.
