Upon hearing what the man said, Li Yuehuan nodded shyly.
She's not getting any younger, so her family shouldn't object to her dating.
That day, she went straight home after parting ways with Lu Shen.
For some reason, she felt a little nervous this time when she went home.
I tiptoed inside and saw my mother watching TV alone on the sofa; there was no one else in sight.
"You're back so early today?"
Hearing the noise at the door, Chen Shufang turned around and looked over, puzzled.
This girl always goes out to have fun during holidays, claiming she's going to see Qin Zhen.
"I missed you, so I came back."
Li Yuehuan plopped down next to her mother and reached into the fruit plate for some fruit, but her mother slapped her hand and scolded her, "You've come back from outside and you're eating without washing your hands. If your dad sees this, he'll definitely nag you again."
Li Yuehuan awkwardly withdrew her hand, stuck out her tongue, and whispered, "Then I'll go wash my hands now."
Chen Shufang watched her daughter's retreating figure and couldn't help but wonder why the girl was so agreeable today, not uttering a single word of backtalk.
She picked up a grape and put it in her mouth, then seemed to fall into a deep thought.
Li Yuehuan looked in the bathroom mirror and cheered herself up.
Taking advantage of the fact that only her mother was home today, she quickly tried to bring her mother into her camp.
After washing her hands, Li Yuehuan sat cross-legged on the sofa eating fruit. "Mom, where are Dad and the others?"
“Your dad had an emergency at the military base and rushed over. An'an and Yuanyuan have classes today and haven’t finished school yet.”
Chen Shufang looked away from the television.
"What, are you missing them?"
"A little bit." Li Yuehuan nodded, then hesitated for a moment before asking, "Mom, what are your requirements for my partner?"
"puff……"
This was the first time Chen Shufang had lost control of her facial expressions; the girl's words were truly terrifying.
Why do you ask that? Are you thinking about starting a relationship?
Li Yuehuan remained silent, her eyes fixed on her mother.
Chen Shufang wiped her hands with a tissue, her expression turning serious.
"First, he must cherish you and make you the center of everything he does."
Secondly, although my parents are not materialistic, if the man's family is too poor, you will suffer a lot if you marry him, so he cannot be too poor.
Third, his parents need to be easy to get along with. You're so naive, and I'm worried you'll be completely controlled by your in-laws, and even if you suffer mistreatment, you won't dare to come home and complain.
Li Yuehuan couldn't help but smile; her Lu Shen perfectly met all these criteria.
Chen Shufang noticed something was wrong with her daughter's unusual behavior, and several fragments of memories flashed through her mind.
"You, you wouldn't be dating your dad behind my back, would you?"
"Mom, if I said yes, would you want to hit me?"
Li Yuehuan nodded cautiously.
“You…” Chen Shufang looked up in surprise, then bombarded her with questions like a cannonball: “When did you start dating? How long have you been together? And what’s the boy like? Tell me everything in detail.”
Li Yuehuan slowly explained, adding a few more words at the end, "Mom, he's so good to me, and Aunt Lan likes me a lot too."
Chen Shufang gently poked her forehead, "You really know how to keep things to yourself. It's been two whole years since you told us."
"I'm just afraid you'll object, aren't I?" Li Yuehuan hugged a pillow and rested her chin on it.
The next second, under her mother's glare, she immediately shut her mouth.
Seeing her dazed look, Chen Shufang had nowhere to vent her frustration. "I'm asking you, were you studying so hard back then because of him?"
Li Yuehuan nodded frantically, "Mom, he has excellent grades. He got into Beijing University and is studying financial management. Now, whenever he has free time, he comes back to Huaicheng to be with me."
After hearing what her daughter said, Chen Shufang had a general understanding of Lu Shen and thought he was not bad.
Although my daughter is a bit young, it's okay to date someone if she meets the right person.
Seeing that her mother remained silent, Li Yuehuan cautiously tugged at her sleeve, "Mom, what are you thinking?"
"What I think is useless. The important thing is to get past your dad and your two older brothers. They're coming back today, so you should explain things properly."
"Ah... I don't care, Mom, you have to help me."
Chen Shufang snorted, "I see now, you want me to be your mouthpiece."
"Hehe, my dear mom, please help me."
In the evening, Li Yuehuan was particularly attentive, serving tea and water and massaging shoulders.
"Dad, are you feeling better?"
"Not bad." Li Yuan took a sip of tea. "So, tell me, are you going to ask for money to buy something expensive again?"
"No, that's not it." Li Yuehuan pouted, then coughed lightly and said solemnly, "Dad, eldest brother, second brother, I have something to tell you today."
Li Hanchen chuckled, "What's making our little princess so serious?"
"You must promise not to curse me."
The words were on the tip of her tongue when she panicked.
"Let's see what the matter is."
Seeing that his wife's expression was completely calm, Li Yuan guessed that she must have already known what the girl had said.
"I'm in a relationship."
These words exploded in the living room like a thunderclap, the entire space seemed to freeze instantly, and time seemed to stand still. At this moment, even the faintest, almost imperceptible breathing could be clearly heard.
Li Yuan suddenly slammed the teacup he had been gripping onto the table, spilling a few drops of tea that soaked the tablecloth. At the same time, his voice turned cold. "When did this happen? How long ago?"
The two brothers, Li Hanchen and Li Hanting, sitting to the side, couldn't help but frown slightly, clearly surprised and dissatisfied by the news.
Li Yuehuan's body trembled involuntarily. She lowered her head and stammered, "It was...it happened two years ago."
"Dad, don't be angry. I... I was just afraid that you and my brothers wouldn't agree..." Her voice grew softer and softer, tinged with a hint of grievance.
However, Li Yuan was not appeased by his daughter's explanation. Instead, he sneered and said, "Aren't you afraid now?"
After saying that, at his wife's prompting, he took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then asked, "Tell me about his situation in detail."
"Don't be nervous, talk to your dad slowly."
Chen Shufang sat next to her daughter and secretly gave her a meaningful look.
Encouraged by her mother, Li Yuehuan slowly began to recount her story.
Chen Shufang: "Old Li, I think this boy is not bad. Why don't we have Huanhuan bring him over and then give our evaluation?"
Li Yuan wasn't upset that his daughter was dating, but rather that she had kept it a secret for so long.
"Then bring him over tomorrow."
He then turned to the two brothers opposite him and said, "You two stay home tomorrow too, and keep an eye on things for your sister."
"Dad, we understand."
Even if their father hadn't said anything, they would have stayed.
Li Yuehuan felt both relieved and heavy-hearted.
