Sheng Yeli: "It’s so late, why are you with him?" Their meetings had seemed too frequent lately.
Sheng Ning’an: "Just happened to bump into him, then he happened to help me."
"What else could there be?"
Sheng Yeli stared at her for a long while, but seeing no trace of guilt on her face, finally believed that there was nothing between them. Still, he reminded her, "You’re still young. Right now, the most important thing is to focus on your studies. Other things can wait until you’re in college."
Sheng Ning’an finally realized his implication: "You don’t think I like Xu Weiran, that we’re secretly dating, do you? Please, I treat him like an uncle."
"Good, that’s best! Go upstairs to bathe and rest!" Sheng Yeli turned and went back to his room after speaking.
The Sheng Family had moved to a big villa soon after Sheng Ning’an was born.
Since both Shen Zhaozhao and Sheng Chuyi were busy with work, both children needed someone to take care of them.
So, the family had always lived together.
Sheng Ning’an went upstairs to bathe, and lying in bed, somehow started thinking about Xu Weiran.
Truth be told, besides being a bit older, the man seemed to have no other faults. It’s no wonder his deskmate swooned over him at first sight.
Anyway, the man had helped her, and it seemed necessary to apologize.
Sheng Ning’an picked up her phone and sent a message to him.
"Tonight, thanks!" even though she could have managed on her own.
Still, his intentions were good.
Meanwhile, Xu Weiran had just entered his house and received Sheng Ning’an’s text. He couldn’t help but smile and replied, "No need to thank me. It’s only right for an uncle to send his niece home."
As he was responding, he looked up to see his mother sitting on the couch with a stern face, and his father frantically making eye gestures to him.
Xu Weiran, getting the hint, immediately put away his phone and smiled as he greeted, "Mom, Dad, why aren’t you asleep at this hour?"
Mother Xu: "With an unfilial son at home, how can I sleep?"
Approaching with a smile, Xu Weiran began massaging Mother Xu’s shoulders, "Who’s upset my mom?"
Mother Xu glared at him: "Stop playing around with me. Besides you, who else would upset me in this house? Tell me, what exactly happened with the blind date last time? What was so unsatisfactory about that girl?"
"Nothing. The girl was quite nice. It’s just that I’m not worthy of her," Xu Weiran replied.
"Nonsense, my son has both looks and talents; how could you not be worthy?" Mother Xu had just finished speaking when she realized she had been diverted by her clever son, smacking his hand and demanding, "Stop beating around the bush and tell me the truth, do you already have someone you like?"
"You still won’t tell us the truth. The girl from the blind date said you brought a young lady with you, even calling her your girlfriend. What exactly is going on?" Mother Xu pressed.
Mr. Xu chimed in: "Yeah, why didn’t you tell us earlier if you have a girlfriend? Is there something wrong with the girl? Don’t worry, our family isn’t unreasonable. As long as she’s a good person, your mother and I have no objections. When can you bring her home for us to meet?"
