Sheng Yeli said coldly, "I’ve told you, you’re not suitable for each other."
"Where are we not suitable?" Sheng Ning’an countered.
Sheng Yeli: "Nowhere is suitable!"
Sheng Ning’an didn’t get angry. He walked over and took the other’s arm, saying, "I know that to Young Uncle, I’m the best, so he thinks no one is good enough for me. But, how many men out there are as perfect as Grandpa, Dad, and Young Uncle? I think he’s quite good. So what if he’s a bit older than me? Aside from age, I even feel like I’m not good enough for him!" In terms of looks and education, Sheng Ning’an truly felt inferior to the other person.
"Do you really like him that much?" Sheng Yeli asked with a cold face.
Sheng Ning’an: "Of course I like him, but the people I love the most are definitely you all. I just think he’s not bad and worth trying out. If you really disapprove, I will surely respect your opinion. After all, you are the people who love me the most and whom I love the most. I definitely can’t upset you just because of a boyfriend. It’s okay, it’s just a breakup. I’ll just be sad for a while and certainly will get over it. But does Young Uncle really think we’re not suitable?"
Before Sheng Yeli could speak, Qin Suxin said, "Don’t listen to your Young Uncle’s nonsense. He doesn’t want a girlfriend himself, so he doesn’t want others to have one either. The guy you mentioned is your Young Uncle’s colleague, right? And a former classmate? I remember he came over before; the young man looked decent and was polite, much better than your Young Uncle. You’ve got good taste, just like my granddaughter."
"You think he’s good too, Grandma?" Sheng Ning’an immediately moved from Sheng Yeli’s side to Qin Suxin’s.
Qin Suxin smiled and said, "Anyone my granddaughter sets her eyes on can’t be too bad. Grandma supports you!"
"Thank you, Grandma!"
Shen Zhaozhao also chimed in, "You’re an adult now, with the freedom to date. We won’t interfere. However, as a young lady, be sure to maintain proper boundaries."
With the family’s approval secured, even if they heard about the photo from others, they wouldn’t be too surprised.
Sheng Ning’an’s purpose for this trip home was achieved.
Early Monday morning, Sheng Ning’an took Sheng Yeli’s car back to school.
On the way, Sheng Ning’an looked up at him pleadingly, "Young Uncle, you won’t give him trouble afterwards, will you? Um, I made the first move; it’s not his fault. He just didn’t reject me, that’s all!"
Sheng Yeli, with a stern face and without any expression, looked at her and said, "Is this why you insisted on taking my car this early? Are you that worried about him?"
"Not at all. I’m just afraid you two won’t get along and it will affect the laboratory’s atmosphere, which could impact your experiments!"
"Relax, I won’t make things difficult for him," Sheng Yeli said coldly.
Hearing this, Sheng Ning’an breathed a sigh of relief, "I knew Young Uncle you cared for me the most!"
"But..." Sheng Yeli’s tone suddenly shifted, "Considering he is much older than you, when you’re with him, you must protect yourself. You’re a young woman and should behave modestly. Don’t do anything you’re not supposed to do. Don’t just go out with him anytime, and you must return to the dormitory before ten o’clock at night."
"I know, don’t worry! When have you ever seen me at a disadvantage?" Sheng Ning’an said immediately.
"That’s good!" Sheng Yeli said coldly.
Thinking not only the young lady needed a warning, but someone else also needed a good talking to.
