Huo Tingdong squinted his eyes tightly, twitching slightly: "What ’dad’?"
Li Junyan innocently covered his lips: "Hmm... Changing the way you address now seems a bit early, doesn’t it?"
Huo Tinghan said: "Junyan, when did you and my sister..."
... understand each other’s hearts?
Li Junyan raised his hand, his arm lightly resting on the car door fra: "Just now, Yinyin and I decided to officially date. Tinghan, you’ll give us your blessing, right?"
Huo Tinghan: "..."
Blessings, huh.
Li Junyan said: "Don’t worry, I will be wholeheartedly devoted to Yinyin, from beginning to end."
Huo Tinghan: "..." Big brother feels like the good cabbage has been snatched by another good cabbage. How ironic.
Even though he and Li Junyan grew up together and his character is trustworthy beyond doubt.
In terms of family background, knowledge, cultivation, and character.
Li Junyan is outstanding among his peers.
But...
Huo Tinghan still felt a tightness in his chest.
And feeling the sa tightness was the old father sitting next to him.
Huo Tingdong squinted his eyes, sizing up Li Junyan: "A bit sudden."
Li Junyan nodded in agreent: "I feel it’s a bit sudden too, but..."
He looked at the coin in his hand, casually tossed it, caught it, and spread his palm open.
It was still heads up.
Li Junyan suddenly smiled as if a burden had been lifted: "Maybe this is what fate wants."
After speaking, he politely said: "Uncle, Tinghan, have a good rest, goodnight."
Li Junyan smiled, turned around, and walked toward his car.
Huo Tingdong and Huo Tinghan followed his departing figure chanically until the car disappeared in the distance, the two n gloomily speaking in unison: "Goodnight what!"
...
"Oh dear, Yinyin is now 22 years old after her birthday, it’s only natural for her to have a crush on a boy and want a sweet relationship!"
"Can’t you two stop looking so gloomy? Isn’t this a good thing?"
"Junjun is soone we watched grow up, his character is excellent, he’s a gentleman, talented, looks good, and is devoted! Dating him is much better than being fooled and manipulated by so bad guy, right?"
"Besides, daughters grow up and will eventually get married! Isn’t it good for her to marry an outstanding man?"
In the living room, Lin Qi tried to persuade the two n who looked sad and deeply moved.
Huo Tinghan’s face remained sullen, speechless.
Huo Tingdong’s expression was equally gloomy like the cold winter.
Huo Tinghan awkwardly said: "Mom, we understand the logic... but isn’t this developnt too fast! We’re not ready... ntally."
Lin Qi: "It’s not like you’re the one dating Junyan, what ntal preparation do you need."
Huo Tinghan: "..."
Huo Tingdong: "If it were Tinghan dating Junyan, I wouldn’t be this shocked."
Huo Tinghan showed an incredulous expression, staring at Huo Tingdong.
Lin Qi said: "Tinghan, don’t be petty, look, Xixi was spoiled by Junjun from a young age too, you snatched his sister, yet Junjun is still so magnanimous, even blessing you both!"
Huo Tinghan pursed his lips, suddenly reacting: "... Snatched?"
Biological mother?
Lin Qi awkwardly hesitated for a few seconds: "Uh, slip of the tongue."
Huo Tinghan: "Hmmph."
Lin Qi said: "Maybe... when little sister went missing, she was too young, so now that she’s back ho, you still treat her like a five-year-old! She’s 22 now, 22! At 22, I was already a mother of two."
Having said that, she looked aningfully at Huo Tingdong: "Isn’t that right, ’Mr. Huo’?"
Huo Tingdong guiltily humd: "That’s different."
Lin Qi: "Are you bullying because I don’t have a brother?"
Huo Tingdong: "No."
Lin Qi: "Bullying because I don’t have Yinyin’s preciousness?"
Huo Tingdong raised both hands in surrender: "Wife, I’m wrong."
Lin Qi was amused by his pitiful tone.
"Alright! Don’t be so dejected, daughters grow up, you should be happy for her, this is a major life event, we should celebrate it properly!"
Huo Tingdong said: "They just started dating, who knows if this is just a whim."
Lin Qi: "You still don’t realize, Yinyin is already 22 years old, she knows better than you what she likes, what she wants. Besides, if I were her age, I’d like Junjun too."
Huo Tingdong looked at Lin Qi.
Lin Qi said: "... If you weren’t around."
Huo Tingdong: "Hmmph."
Lin Qi gently pushed Huo Tinghan: "Okay, stop worrying, cheer up, go to your room and sleep."
Huo Tinghan said: "Oh."
He stood up and walked upstairs.
Huo Tingdong remained grumpy and lancholy.
Yes.
He hadn’t realized that his precious daughter is already 22 years old.
At 22, it’s perfectly normal to date soone.
Perhaps, in all his mories of Yinyin, she was still five, so much so that he still thought his daughter was just five, not grown up yet.
After all, not being able to witness her growth step by step is his life’s biggest regret.
Lin Qi sat down next to him, gently linked arms with him: "Alright, they haven’t even fully settled yet, you can still dislike him when they really beco a thing."
Huo Tingdong wanted to speak but stopped: "I don’t... dislike him!"
Lin Qi said: "This is your version of not disliking? They just confird their relationship, yet you look like your family has been robbed."
Huo Tingdong: "Sigh... I hope he’ll treat my daughter well! If he ever wrongs her, I’ll tear the Li Family apart."
Lin Qi laughed heartily: "Alright, alright, I support you!"
Dad loves his daughter, Lin Qi understood this little sadness perfectly.
But she was still happy for Yinyin.
Today, when Yinyin ca ho, she gave her a big hug.
Yinyin happily told her that she and Junyan are dating!
Lin Qi also felt happy seeing Huo Zijin’s blissful look.
No wonder she seed to have a lot on her mind not long ago.
Today, she ca back with nothing but happiness on her face.
Lin Qi decided that tomorrow she would find Li Yufei for afternoon tea and share this good news!
She didn’t expect Li Junyan to proactively tell Li Yufei this.
But she and Li Yufei are fans of these two little guys’ relationship, not only wanting to witness it but fully support it!
Since childhood, she has been quite satisfied with Junyan, and if it’s him...
She is completely at ease, knowing he will be constant from beginning to end for Yinyin!
Huo Tingdong said: "Why do I see you looking so happy?"
Lin Qi: "Isn’t it a wonderful thing that our daughter is with a boy she likes?"
Huo Tingdong: "... What if he bullies Yinyin in the future..."
Lin Qi: "Then let’s talk about ’the future’ when it happens! Rest assured, the ’future’ you’re worrying about won’t happen!"
