Chapter 2461: Chapter 2461: Meeting the Parents for the First Time
"Miss Ye, you just saw it too, Meimei really likes me. I believe if I become her father, she shouldn’t resist. Meimei is only three years old, and you wouldn’t want her to grow up in the shadow of not having a father. This would have a big impact on a child’s development."
Bai Zheng seemed to know that Ye Mingmei cared most about Meimei, hitting right on Ye Mingmei’s soft spot with his words.
He paused for three seconds before continuing.
"I understand that two people being together is about feelings, and Miss Ye, you are still young with many admirers. There is no need for you to compromise yourself for your daughter’s sake for a lifetime. What I said just now was definitely not to use my face to coerce you, but rather just in hope that Miss Ye would give me a chance. Perhaps we could all have a happy ending."
Bai Zheng’s voice was very gentle, and his attitude, like meeting the parents for the first time, was particularly sincere, humble, and polite.
"Dad..."
After the daze, Ye Mingmei looked helplessly at Ye Zhanxing.
Bai Zheng’s proposal was too sudden, and Ye Mingmei had no idea how to respond.
She didn’t want to be with anyone, just wanted to quietly cherish the person in her heart, but everyone seemed to know her weakness.
Jin Chenye was like that, so was Bai Zheng.
As long as Meimei didn’t have a father, even holding onto her own love seemed like a sin.
"Love at first sight is something us elders indeed find uneasy, but Mr. Bai..."
"Mr. Ye, you’re being too polite. You are an elder, feel free to call me by my name." Bai Zheng stood up, bowing respectfully towards Ye Zhanxing.
Some things, even if a long time has passed, still remain in people’s memories.
It was not just Ye Mingmei and her daughter that he owed, but also Ye Zhanxing, who nearly lost his life in an accident back then.
If he truly wanted to gain the Ye Family’s approval, the first person he needed to please was Ye Zhanxing.
The things Yu Xiuzhun couldn’t accomplish, Bai Zheng would do.
Like a dignified man, he would strive for love and seek the approval and agreement of her family with his efforts.
Bai Zheng’s gaze deepened as he looked at Ye Zhanxing, showing even more humility.
"Mr. Ye, I know my proposal may seem abrupt, but please believe me. I will prove my determination with actions. I didn’t come today to force marriage, only that Miss Ye seems to have a bit of a bias against me because of my face, deliberately avoiding me even in work. Besides visiting the Ye Family, I can’t find any opportunity to get close to her."
Bai Zheng straightened his back, speaking with composure and respect.
Ye Zhanxing looked at him, his eyes flickering slightly as if pondering something, always carrying a sense of scrutiny in his gaze towards Bai Zheng.
When a person wants to hide something, the body and words can deceive, but the eyes cannot.
The way Bai Zheng looked at Meimei, even with the deliberate suppression of his excitement, still showed an unusual glow.
Ye Zhanxing understood that glow more than anyone else.
When he first found out that he had a biological daughter in this world, the way he looked at Qin Youxuan was just like that!
He so wished to let everyone know yet had to suppress his emotions.
"You young ones can decide for yourselves. If Mingmei is willing, as parents we naturally won’t oppose." Ye Zhanxing’s gaze flickered as he spoke again.
"However, the Bai family is not an ordinary family. I know your parents are still alive, and since Mingmei already has Meimei, how do your parents see your affection for Mingmei?"
