"Yes, thank you for your trouble in thinking about this."
"Of course."
The myna bird circled around Su Shenglin, barking loudly, making it seem like Su Shenglin was there to play with it again.
Su Shenglin squatted down, patted the dog's head, and coaxed, "I'm taking your owner to meet the parents today, so I don't have time. I'll come play with you another day."
I laughed and said, "What are you explaining to a dog?"
"Dogs can understand human nature too."
That's true. I also think that myna birds are very intelligent and understand human nature.
After I finished getting ready, I went out with him.
He didn't bring a driver; he drove his own Hongqi SUV.
After getting into the car, I felt a little nervous and involuntarily let out a long breath.
He laughed: "Why are you so nervous? You've been to Su Garden so many times."
"But this time it's different."
Su Shenglin started the car, and after hearing what I said, he didn't rush to drive away, but turned to look at me.
"What's wrong?" I asked, puzzled.
He reassured me, "Even if the meaning is different, you don't need to be nervous. If you are asked a question and don't know how to answer it, just ask me."
I looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Was Mr. Su very angry about what happened last night? After all, it was because of me that things started, and you and your sister were both frightened. I'll go over today..."
Although I visited and apologized together, whether they accept it or not is another matter.
If they don't accept it and even blame me—I can't help but be nervous.
Su Shenglin reached out and patted my head gently, as if I were a child, and said tenderly, "Didn't I tell you? With me here, what are you afraid of?"
I stared at him intently.
In the morning light, a few golden rays pierced through the window and rested quietly on his face, making his pupils shine even brighter and more captivating.
A smile played on his lips, his features became even more handsome and charming, his Adam's apple was prominent and sexy, and every inch of him exuded an irresistible allure.
A warm feeling welled up inside me, a mixture of gratitude and unease. The question that came out of my mouth was: "What will you do if Mr. Su doesn't like me and opposes our relationship?"
Lately, many details have been suggesting to me that Mr. Su will become an obstacle between us.
I tossed and turned for a long time last night, but I had no solution.
Su Shenglin chuckled again, seemingly unconcerned, and asked in return, "If that's really the case, what will you do? Will you break up with me right away?"
I felt guilty and didn't dare to answer.
Because I really did think that way.
The hand that had been gently patting my head just moments before was now pinching my face and tugging at it slightly, with a hint of warning and venting.
"I'm telling you, don't mention it! Even if you do, I won't allow it!"
"Then what are you going to do? Go against your family for my sake?"
I know that everyone in the Su family has a good relationship and cares for each other. Unlike our Jiang family, where family members are worse than enemies and can't even communicate normally.
I don't want Su Shenglin to have a falling out with his family because of me.
I can't handle this kind of feeling.
I cannot bear such a charge.
“I will persuade him,” Su Shenglin replied.
"But if I can't convince him... um—" I wanted to continue asking, but he didn't give me the chance. He leaned in and gave me a kiss, silencing all my words.
My eyes widened, and when I realized I was in a car, with people from the same building coming and going outside, I quickly pushed him away.
There are people outside.
"So what if there are other people around? I'm kissing my own girlfriend, it's not like I'm having an affair."
"..." I glanced at him, never expecting him to speak so vulgarly.
"Don't think nonsense. If the sky falls, I'll hold it up; it won't hit you."
Su Shenglin emphasized domineeringly, then turned the steering wheel and set off.
When we arrived at Su Garden, it was only 10 a.m.
The weather has been great these past few days; during the day, the temperature is similar to that of spring.
The sun was shining brightly in Su Garden. To welcome the New Year and the Spring Festival, lanterns and decorations were everywhere, creating a festive atmosphere. The garden nursery had also updated many flowers, which were vying for beauty and filling the air with fragrance.
Chen Muxi knew I was coming and was waiting outside the main house early on.
"Jiang Wan!" Upon seeing me, she waved and hurried over. "Wow...you look so beautiful today! Did you completely charm my brother?"
I glanced at Su Shenglin, but smiled without saying a word.
"By the way, is your hand feeling any better?" I had been thinking about this all night, so I quickly took her hand to check it.
There are still some red marks, but thankfully there are no burns.
"It's much better after applying the ointment, it's nothing." Chen Muxi took my arm and led me into the main house, saying happily, "My mom has been waiting for you since early morning. She invited Chef Lin over to cook today, and he made all your favorite dishes."
I smiled, feeling grateful.
Thinking that Mrs. Su still treats me so kindly, perhaps I was just overthinking things last night.
We entered the main living room, where Madam Su was indeed sitting on the sofa.
"Jiang Wan." She greeted me with a smile and gestured, "Come and sit down, it's been quite a while since you've been here."
