The Yan family seems particularly quiet today.
Father Yan sat at the table, not knowing what he was thinking. The meal was no different from before, but Yan Qing could still tell something was wrong.
"Come over if you want to eat. Why are you standing at the door?"
The tone was the same as usual, as if this voice made Yan's father return to his normal self.
"What happened at home?"
"It's okay, just eat, what could happen?"
Yan Qing is not a child. There are only her and her father at home. The two of them have been together day and night for so many years. If there is anything wrong, it cannot be hidden from both of them.
"Dad, I don't like the Huo family. I have never met the so-called eldest son of the Huo family. I like Bei Ting. He is serious about me and he is not a gigolo."
"I don't agree. Don't mention this matter again."
The atmosphere at the table became stagnant again, something that would have been impossible before.
Yan Qing knew that his father was doing this for his own good. The wealthy families around him all paid attention to matching the families' social status when it came to marriage. Some people even married down from a lower social status, but none of them had a good outcome.
"You've grown up. There are some things I don't tell you, but you should understand. I don't object to you not marrying into the Huo family, but I won't agree with that pretty boy either."
"I'm serious, Dad. Maybe you don't need to make a decision now. Give Beiting a chance. He..."
Father Yan put down his bowl and chopsticks after listening halfway, and looked at Yan Qing for the first time tonight. This was his precious daughter who had grown up in his hands and he couldn't bear to see her suffer.
"During this time, I always felt that you had grown up and become different from before. The kid from the Gu family was not a good person, and his whole family was a bunch of ungrateful people. Facts have proved that I was right. I also tried to persuade you at the beginning, but you didn't listen. I didn't want you to be sad, so I kept helping the Gu family. When I saw you cut the Gordian knot and separate from Gu Mingche, I was so happy."
Yan Qing recalled the time when he first entered the book. The change was indeed huge, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Qingqing, I believe you have the ability to distinguish right from wrong. Since you can understand Gu Mingche, why can't you let go of that pretty boy?"
"Dad, I..."
Yan Qing wanted to explain, but it was obvious that Yan's father didn't want to listen and interrupted him directly.
"I'm going back first. For the next period of time, stay home and think carefully. Don't contact anyone."
After saying that, Father Yan returned to his room. Yan Qing had no appetite to eat and returned to his room in a daze.
Until midnight, Yan Qing tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and unable to contact anyone outside, and the uneasiness in his heart continued to grow.
Yan Qing, who couldn't sleep, came downstairs and went upstairs with a glass of water. When passing by Yan's father's door, he saw that the door was open. He subconsciously looked inside and found that there was no one on the bed.
"Dad? You're not still working this late, are you?"
With something on her mind, Yan Qing didn't want to go look for him, but thinking about what her father Yan said in the evening, she quietly went to the study.
Before I reached the door, I saw the light coming from the study.
"What happened?"
Then the next second, a deep sigh was heard.
"Why!"
Yan Qing walked towards the door curiously. Sure enough, the door was not closed tightly. Through the gap, Yan Qing saw the figure of Yan's father with his back to the door.
"Tell me, did I do something wrong? Qingqing really seems to like that pretty boy. What should I do? If only you were here, Qingqing would definitely listen to you..."
Yan Qing was feeling a bit complicated outside. After thinking about it, he decided not to go in. He just leaned against the door, not knowing what he was thinking.
"The Gu family has been going too far these past few days. I underestimated them before. They were able to convince Old Sun. Otherwise, I'm lucky nothing serious happened."
Old Sun?
Yan Qing suddenly heard Mr. Sun and had a bad feeling in his heart. Thinking about what Yan's father had done, he suddenly understood something.
Here, she was thinking about what had happened, and Father Yan's tone was unusually relaxed.
"Qingqing used to like someone and dared to do anything. I was so domineering that I wanted to go find you, but she's the only one I have left. How can I leave her alone here? I promise you that I will take good care of Qingqing until she grows up."
Father Yan kept on talking, and Yan Qing felt like he had knocked over a box of seasoning outside. He didn't know what mood he was in.
"She's grown up now. I almost couldn't handle it today. I can see that she treats this pretty boy differently, but I'm worried..."
Yan Qing was listening to what was said inside from outside. Father Yan's tone was full of doting, even a little jealous, which was very different from the image of Father Yan in the evening.
"What do you think of that pretty boy? If you were still here, you would definitely not agree. Who knows what kind of family background he has? What if he's a domestic abuser? He might not be able to beat Qingqing, though. He doesn't have any money, so how can he give Qingqing a good life? What if our values don't match? I always choose the best food and clothes for Qingqing. Why should she go to someone else's house and suffer?"
Because her back was facing the door, Yan Qing didn't know what expression her father Yan had at the moment, but she couldn't help herself and her tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Dad, I'm sorry..."
Yan Qing didn't know what to do. She didn't dare to go in. After taking one last look, she planned to leave quietly.
"The child has grown up, and Yan Qing is managing his company very well. Today, Old Sun cursed Qingqing, saying that none of his children can compare to our Qingqing. He is just jealous!"
Yan Qing remembered Mr. Sun being mentioned again. He was afraid that his father's abnormal behavior today might be related to him.
The company seems to be walking a tightrope lately, and some particularly prominent individuals are implicated in this matter.
"The company has been busy lately. If it weren't for the need to prevent her from going out to see that pretty boy, this would be a good opportunity for her. After all, the company will be handed over to her in the future."
After Yan Qing left, she returned to her room and thought about her father Yan talking to himself in the study. She never thought that he had such a side to her, acting like a spoiled child in front of her mother.
As she laughed, Yan Qing couldn't help crying.
After being here for so long, she knew that Yan's father treated Yan Qing as a porcelain doll, and Yan Qing was the best in the world.
This kind of fatherly love is something she has never felt before. Now that the company is in trouble, she can't let Father Yan face the mess alone for the sake of her love.
Whether it was Gu Mingche or Beiting, they were both provoked by Yan Qing, and there must be a result.
Yan Qing looked at the night sky, where a ray of yellow gradually emerged. She waited for the sun to rise in the distance, then got up and washed.
While I was hesitating in the room whether to go out, I heard footsteps in the corridor.
When I opened the door and saw the cleaner, I felt a little disappointed.
"Where's my dad?"
"My dear, the master went out early in the morning and didn't even have breakfast."
Yan Qing felt relieved, but also a little disappointed. Father Yan still treated her like a child.
