About ten minutes later, Xu Jiayue brought Han Shizhao in.
Han Shizhao was steady, reserved, and composed, and showed no servility because of Xu Haicheng's status.
Jin Rulan had met him before and was quite satisfied with him.
After chatting for a while, Xu Haicheng also felt that Han Shizhao's father, Deputy Commander Han, was a good man. He had met Han Shizhao's father, Deputy Commander Han, a few times and found him to be an upright soldier.
Xu Tingchuan and Han Shizhao knew each other before and had a good impression of each other.
So Han Shizhao passed the meeting with the parents quite smoothly and was invited to stay for dinner.
After dinner, Xu Haicheng and Xu Tingchuan sat in the living room with Han Shizhao and continued chatting.
Ni Sitian felt a bit full, so she took a walk in the yard with Xu Jiayue.
As they walked, Ni Sitian turned to look at Xu Jiayue and asked in a low voice, "Are you really going to marry Han Shizhao?"
During dinner, they discussed the wedding. Although nothing was finalized yet, they did talk about arranging a meeting between their parents.
Ni Sitian didn't know why things were going this way, but she felt that things shouldn't be going this way.
"Is there anything wrong with him?" Xu Jiayue asked Ni Sitian with a slight smile.
“That’s not what I meant. He’s great, impeccable, but do you like him?” Ni Sitian felt that Jia Yue didn’t have the shyness and nervousness one would expect when discussing marriage; she was too composed.
“He treats me very well and likes me a lot. Isn’t the most important thing about marriage to find someone who loves you?” Xu Jiayue asked Ni Sitian in return.
“But you don’t like him, do you?” Ni Sitian realized that she was avoiding her question.
Xu Jiayue smiled noncommittally: "Not every marriage is between two people who love each other. There are so many men and women in this world who go on blind dates, aren't they just hoping to find someone suitable to marry? And they live very well in the end."
Ni Sitian couldn't refute it. This phenomenon is indeed widespread and can't be said to be entirely unreasonable. In fact, sometimes a suitable marriage lasts longer than a marriage based on love.
She lowered her head and thought for a while, and finally said, "I always feel that you shouldn't settle. You haven't reached the point where you should settle."
Xu Jiayue turned her gaze to the window that was glowing with warm light. From this angle, she could just see Han Shizhao talking to Xu Haicheng.
Ni Sitian followed her gaze, but she saw Xu Tingchuan look up at her as if he had a telepathic connection, with a slight smile in his eyes.
"Sitian, do you know why he had an accident during the mission? It's because before he left, I gave him a small badge. It was just a little trinket, a free gift from a book I bought, but he took it seriously as a gift and wore it with him. He almost lost his life because of that." Xu Jiayue originally thought that Han Shizhao was like her, just someone she got along with and that's why they started dating casually. She didn't expect that he really liked her and treated her with such care.
If his subordinates hadn't inadvertently brought it up, she wouldn't have known how much he valued her. This man was taciturn and reserved, and he didn't show his emotions. He didn't even tell her about what happened.
She originally planned to break up with him after he was discharged from the hospital, but suddenly she couldn't bring herself to say it. She didn't know why, but she agreed to his proposal and considered it.
Perhaps she was angered by her argument with Pei Yang the day before. She confided in him that she wanted to break up with Han Shizhao, but that guy actually laughed at her, saying that she would never get married and that she would miss her chance!
The next day, when Han Shizhao asked her if she would be willing to become his wife, she hesitated for a moment before agreeing that she would consider it.
