Gui Xi shakes his head, "I really donât know about this aspect of him, but I canât find an opportunity to ask. I dare not press her too hard, in case I upset her, and she doesnât let me see Doudou. Wouldnât that mean Iâve lost more than Iâve gained?"
Han Shaojing laughs, "Senior, who would have thought youâd have a day like this!"
Gui Xi is two years older than them and used to lecture them proudly like an elder. They never expected him to lose face over Guan La today!
"Alright, alright, whatâs wrong with me having a day like now? At least, I now have a daughter! And you, Shaojing, you change girlfriends like clothes. Shouldnât we expect some consistency? So whatâs your plan? Are you really planning on playing the field and avoid getting married? Donât your parents urge you?"
"My parents are abroad, theyâre too far away to urge me!" Han Shaojing laughs, "Besides, everybody knows my reputation. If I want to find a woman to marry and have a child with, isnât that just the simplest thing?"
"Things arenât always what they seem. If you find a woman and have a son now, by the time your son is twenty, youâll be fifty-two. When he calls you âDad,â it wonât seem strange. Fast forward a decade or so, you would be sixty. Would you have your son call you grandpa then?"
Han Shaojing: "..."
Tu Yanming from the sideline adds, "Your senior is right! Itâs time for us to learn from Yinchu - we should be getting married! At least I have a target in mind, but Shaojing, you have nothing as of now!"
Han Shaojing: "..."
Damn! This is almost looking like a public reprimand session!
Quickly, he responds, "You just wait! Iâll find a woman to marry and have a son with within this year. Donât you lot go green with envy then!"
Everyone puts on a âIf you can make it, then do it!â attitude.
"Pff..." Yang Su canât help but laugh. Han Shaojing noticed and said hesitantly, "Come on, even you, junior Susu, are laughing at me?"
Yang Su shakes her head, "No, Mr. Han, you misunderstood. Iâm absolutely not laughing at you! I just feel that itâs guaranteed you could find a girl to get married this year, but having a plump son, that might be a little difficult since itâs already September... Of course, if you wouldnât mind being a dad right off the bat, itâs not entirely impossible!"
"..."
"Pff..."
After hearing this, Tu Yanming, without any hesitation, let out a mouthful of liquor in a fit of laughter!
Trying to contain his laughter, he says, "Youâre right! Shaojing, being a dad, nothing is impossible! Keep trying! You can be a dad, hahaha..."
For a moment, everyone around them started to laugh!
Han Shaojing: "..."
Yang Su takes a quick glance at Chang Linsheng. He just slightly curves his thin lips without any conspicuous laughter. But, he did laugh!
Because of her, he laughed!
...
Nanxi has to go to the bathroom, and Yang Su accompanies her.
Lu Yinchu is worried but feels itâs inappropriate to go with them. So he walks them to the doorway and arranges for a waitress to accompany them, then only does he return to the private room with ease!
The atmosphere in the private room slightly tensed. Chang Linsheng looked at Lu Yinchu before calmly asking, "Whatâs your purpose?"
"I donât have a purpose. If I must say, it is to do a small favor for my wife!" Lu Yinchu lightly purses his lips before continuing, "Of course, by the by, I am quite interested to know your thoughts too! If youâre interested, I wonât stand in the way of love; if youâre not, then this issue is yours to handle!"
...
Inside the bathroom, Yang Su is a bit excited. She is holding Nanxiâs hand, brimming with joy at her great accomplishments tonight!
She says she hasnât started dating yet, but she already has the feeling of being in love!
In a nutshell, she canât describe how ecstatic she is feeling now!
Hearing this, Nanxi frowns, "Uhm...Susu, arenât you... exaggerating a bit?"
"Not at all! Didnât you notice? He did a lot of things for me tonight that even his friends didnât expect. What does that indicate? It shows that he broke his principles for me, that he pays attention to me, that he does see me a little differently!"
"..." Nanxi doesnât know what to say because what Yang Su said actually makes sense!
"But Susu, thereâs still a lot you donât know about Chang Linsheng. Like does he have a girlfriend? Has he been hurt in love before? Is there any woman he likes in his heart... You donât know about any of these. Maybe, maybe heâs already married!"
"Impossible!" Yang Su immediately denies, "There were a few times when I was drinking coffee at a cafe near their company, I chatted with some of their staff. They said they hadnât heard anything about Chang Linsheng getting married. Moreover, he lives in a single apartment and there had never been a woman coming to look for him in the company... Given this, how could he have gotten married? Right!"
"..."
"But..."
"But thereâs still a possibility, isnât there? Heâs thirty-two now, and it should be pretty normal for him to get married!"
"No!" Yang Su furrows her eyebrows, "What I mean is, even though he is unmarried, it is possible heâs had a romantic relationship with a woman in the past, or there might be a woman whoâs entangled with him..."
"..."
"Remember the time just after you got married, wasnât there one time he sent me home? On the way, a woman called him. It seemed he didnât want to answer the call, as if he minded it a lot. I suspect she must be someone with whom he has an emotional entanglement... "
"..." Nanxi didnât know what to say anymore!
Yang Su continues, "But you did point out something correct, I donât really understand him, as I have very limited ways of getting to know him. Thus, Nanxi, you have to help me..."
"Help you?" Nanxi is taken aback, "How... How can I help you?"
"Nonsense, havenât you forgotten, your husband Lu is a good friend of Chang Linsheng! Theyâve known each other for so many years, heâs sure to understand Chang Linsheng well! You could ask him for me!"
"Like his interests, hobbies, what he likes to eat, what he usually does, and most importantly his love life. Otherwise, I wouldnât even be aware if I have a romantic rival, and I would surely lose terribly in that case! Nanxi, you canât refuse because youâre the only one who could help me!" Yang Su pleads, pulling her arm.
"..." Nanxi is conflicted, "Susu, is Chang Linsheng really that good? Do you like him so much?"
Yang Su hesitates, "Where is he not good?"
"..." Well, Nanxi couldnât answer that!
"Actually, how should I put it, Iâm aware that my feelings for him are kind of blind right now. But Nanxi, you know, Iâm twenty-two, and this is the first time Iâve had such special feelings for a man. I donât know when I will have this kind of feeling next time after giving up this time... And it would be too much of a loss if I give up without even trying once, right?"
"I once went against my parentsâ wishes and came to H University to study. Now, while Iâm still young and have the chance to take a chance, I want to be nonconformist one more time, in love. Even if the ultimate result is failure, at least I will have tried and will not have any regrets. So, Nanxi, I hope you can support me, assist me, can you do that?"
"..." Nanxi really doesnât know what to say. Wouldnât it be cruel to break to her that Chang Linsheng is a married man under these circumstances?
[Insert: making Chang Linshengâs family background complicated is to set the background for the next book (series? Um. Not exactly, just linked). Still two votes short for the extra fifth update. Rolling around begging for more~ Iâm waiting for the day to explode~]
