Chapter 931: Chapter 666: Fu Sheng or Ming Xu (Part 1)
"But... I just feel that liking someone is liking someone."
"I also know that expressing my feelings without knowing what you think of me might put pressure on you, but..."
"Ye Han."
Shan Mingxu called her name, finally interrupting her words.
"..."
Ye Han unconsciously swallowed, her expression tense and uneasy.
"Ye Han, actually... I went on a blind date not out of my own will, it was my parents who were anxious. Love, marriage... I’m not in a hurry. I don’t think I’m ready to talk about marriage yet..."
"..."
"You’re a good girl, and I don’t want to deceive you. You’re honest with me, so I’m going to be honest with you too..."
"I know! I know all of that!"
"..."
"When I say this, I’m not asking you, Brother Ming Xu, to make a decision now or promise to marry me in the future... It’s just..."
"I hope you can give me a chance, that’s all."
"..."
"I’m still young too, I’m not in a hurry either, so... we can take things slowly."
Ye Han’s gaze was earnest,
"Give me a chance to like you, give me a chance to let you know me."
Shan Mingxu’s expression looked slightly serious...
"Brother Ming Xu... is that not okay?"
Ye Han seemed on the verge of tears...
Shan Mingxu was never one to sympathize easily, but the girl in front of him was the daughter of his father’s friend...
"I’ll answer for him!"
Suddenly, a confident voice came from the stairway.
Shan Mingxu looked up, Ye Han turned around...
At some point, Yin Shihua had already been leaning against the stair corner...
"Mom, why are you eavesdropping on other people’s conversations!"
"Ha, you two were talking in the hallway without any concealment. You were taking your time coming down for dinner, so I came up to call you and accidentally overheard your conversation. Can that be called eavesdropping?"
Yin Shihua shrugged.
Ye Han didn’t expect Yin Shihua to hear their conversation and was now blushing bright red.
Yin Shihua grew more and more fond of Ye Han the more she looked at her.
"Xiao Han likes to read and write, and you’re a soldier. Combining you two, it’s a perfect match of both brains and brawn."
"Mom, please don’t interfere."
Shan Mingxu now just felt overwhelmed.
"I heard everything Xiao Han said. You’re a grown man, letting a girl speak her mind like that, do you still consider yourself a man?"
Yin Shihua reached out and tapped the military uniform he was wearing,
"A man who comes out of the military camp, yet not as straightforward as a delicate woman."
"Ye Han, go downstairs and eat first. I’ll have a word with my mom."
As Shan Mingxu finished speaking, without waiting for Ye Han to respond, he pulled his mother up to the third-floor room, closed the door,
"Mom, do you really have to meddle in my affairs like this?"
"If you didn’t call me ’Mom,’ the question would be fine, but since you are my son, why can’t I meddle in your affairs?"
"You know that’s not what I meant..."
"Do you dislike Ye Han?"
"Not exactly..."
"Don’t try to fool me. What’s there not to like? What’s wrong with her?"
Yin Shihua was determined to get to the bottom of it.
"There’s nothing wrong with her, I just don’t really feel anything..."
"Feelings grow over time. Just agree to date her slowly, give it a try, what do you have to lose?"
"..."
"Is it because of Fu Sheng?"
"Mom, can you stop bringing up Fu Sheng every chance you get?"
"I’ll be honest with you, I’m worried you’re still thinking about Fu Sheng, that’s why I’m anxious to set up these blind dates for you."
"I figured that out a long time ago..."
Shan Mingxu mumbled.
"Since you already know, I won’t beat around the bush. Try with Ye Han, otherwise, I’ll assume you like Fu Sheng, and then... if I have to drive Fu Sheng out—"
"Mom!"
"..."
"Fine! I’ll listen to you! I’ll do whatever you say!"
"..."
Yin Shihua saw her son’s reluctance, held his hand,
"There isn’t a parent in the world who doesn’t have their child’s best interests at heart. Mingxu, you’ve always been very responsible; back when you and Ming Lang caused trouble, your uncle sent you to the military to toughen you up."
"And you just went, no questions asked. My son is so responsible, and I’m proud of you."
"But... who could’ve imagined that you’d stay for four years. Did you think that being assigned to the Special Forces, keeping it a secret, would mean your parents wouldn’t know?"
"..."
"Our family is a bit different from the families of your soldier brothers."
"You do whatever you want... since you were little, has Mom really ever interfered in your affairs?"
"But when it comes to marriage, it’s not just about you, it involves two families. The woman who enters our Shan Family will not only live with you but with the entire family..."
