Zhou i looked at Wen Nian with a look of disappointnt. However, when she thought about how Wen Nian had argued with them over Wei Xiao in the past and how they had finally resolved their differences, she couldn’t afford to ruin their relationship again. So she softened her tone and said, “Wen Nian, when you insisted on getting engaged to Wei Xiao, you were also very determined. At your age, your considerations are often not thorough enough.”
When Wei Xiao’s na was ntioned, Shen Jun’s eyes turned dark.
Wen Nian felt a bit embarrassed and glanced at Shen Jun, quickly thinking and taking the opportunity to express herself, “Indeed, 1 acted impulsively with Wei Xiao, but it’s because of the comparison that 1 now know what kind of boy 1 truly like. This ti, 1 can take responsibility for my decision.”
Seeing how stubborn Wen Nian was, Zhou i gave her a look.
Wen Xing received the signal and quickly agreed, “You’re both students now, and the most important thing is to focus on your studies. Get into a good university first.”
Upon hearing this, Wen Nian saw a breakthrough and said excitedly, “Mom, Dad, if you’re worried that dating at a young age will affect my studies, 1 can assure you that 1 will only improve and never regress!”
“Starting from senior year, we have monthly exams, and I promise to enter the top loo in the first monthly exam. And the fact is, ever since Shen Jun and 1 got to know each other and got together, my grades have been consistently improving. You don’t have to worry about my studies.”
This ti, the final exam consisted of over 6oo participants. Wen Nian achieved a ranking of 312th, placing her in the middle of the pack. It was a significant improvent, as she had climbed 200 to 300 places within a year. This achievent was particularly noteworthy considering she was attending No. 1 High School, known for its highly competitive environnt where top talents abounded.
The noticeable improvent in Wen Nian’s grades was undeniable, and even Zhou i couldn’t refute it. She shot her husband another glare and inwardly scolded him for always causing trouble whenever she relied on him.
Shen Jun also made a promise, saying, “Uncle, Auntie, Wen Nian and 1 understand that in order to have a lasting relationship, we need to grow together and help each other improve. 1 genuinely care about Wen Nian, and 1 am determined not to beco an obstacle on her path to success.”
It must be acknowledged that Shen Jun’s final words did manage to sowhat convince Zhou i and Wen Xing.
As parents, they held concerns about their children falling in love at a young age, fearing that they might not fully comprehend the depth of emotions and the sacrifices required in a relationship. They worried that their children would only focus on the pleasures of romantic love and taking things from each other, leading to unhealthy relationships that would likely be short-lived.
However, Shen Jun’s words managed to dispel many of their doubts.
Zhou i and Wen Xing exchanged glances, and then Zhou i motioned for Wen Nian to co into her bedroom.
Chinese people have always been reluctant to discuss matters of love and relationships, especially within the context of family. Such topics are often considered taboo, and as a result, the mother and daughter had never broached the subject of romance. Zhou i felt extrely uncomfortable as she observed the confusion on Wen Nian’s face when she entered the bedroom.
However, Zhou i felt compelled to ask despite her discomfort. She cleared her throat lightly and in a low voice, she posed the question, “How far have your relationship progressed?”
Wen Nian took a mont to process the question. She pondered for a brief mont before responding, “You just found out, so his parents probably don’t know yet.”
Seeing Wen Nian’s lack of comprehension regarding the implied question, Zhou i grew even more embarrassed. She decided to be more direct and pointedly clarified, “I didn’t ask you about that. What I ant was, have you and Shen Jun done anything you shouldn’t have? Don’t lie to !”
Wen Nian then understood Zhou i’s actual question and lowered her head, her cheeks flushed with a peachy hue. She spoke softly, her voice barely audible, “No.”
Zhou i felt relieved upon hearing this. After being together for six months and still maintaining their self-control, Zhou i’s impression of Shen Jun improved a little. “Ahem, you’re still young. Don’t think too much during your studies. I’m not that old-fashioned either. If your relationship progresses to the point of considering marriage in the future, just take proper precautions. Abortion can have serious consequences for a woman’s health.”
Wen Nian’s face grew even redder. “Mom, what are you talking about? It’s still too early. We’ve learned about these things in biology class.”
Seeing her daughter’s shy reaction, Zhou i felt relieved and chuckled softly. “As long as you know what’s best for yourself and take care of yourself.”
Zhou i led Wen Nian back to the living room. Although they had given their consent, so things still needed to be emphasized. The necessary warnings couldn’t be overlooked. Even though Shen Jun ca from a good family background, if Wen Nian were to be mistreated or negatively influenced, their family wouldn’t back down!
Zhou i glanced at Shen Jun and sternly stated, “So, as you both have promised, your grades can only improve. Otherwise, don’t bla when 1 step in and intervene!”
Shen Jun’s previously tense expression relaxed, and he quickly responded, “Uncle, Auntie, you can trust us!”
