When she took that step out of campus, he wanted to protect her.
Not just in her career, but also in her life, guarding her, accompanying her, helping her become a better person.
Even when the day came that she was capable enough to stand on her own in society, he still found it hard to let go.
Li Zaijun just gazed at his affectionate eyes and brows, her heart slightly moved.
Having been disillusioned with love after her last boyfriend, she had slowly found herself falling into his pursuit.
This time, her heart had already made a choice in the unseen depths.
At that moment, a soft cough came from nearby.
Upon hearing it, Li Zaijun instantly became somewhat tense.
She looked up at them, then turned to Shen Lin with a slightly embarrassed expression, gently biting her lip and whispering, “Thank you for the flowers, Brother Shen.”
Then, she took the flowers and ran to Lu’s mother, acting shy like a little girl.
Shen Lin almost wanted to laugh, seeing the stark contrast in her, from how bold she was with him to her demure attitude in front of the elders.
Suddenly, Shen Lin seemed to notice something and looked towards Lu’s father.
Meeting those clear and piercing eyes, he politely greeted, “Uncle Lu.”
Lu’s father nodded slightly.
Then, speaking to Shen Lin in a deep, slow tone, he said, “You came to attend Lu Xiao’s wedding without bringing your girlfriend?”
At that, Shen Lin was momentarily stunned.
Everyone was shrewd, who wouldn’t know that this was said on purpose.
Shen Lin’s gaze swept over a certain young girl then withdrew as he slowly replied, “I’m of age to marry, and my parents are urging me, but marriage is no child’s play. I want to find someone I love, someone suitable to marry.”
His words implied everything.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Lu’s father slightly narrowed his eyes.
He seemed to be seriously contemplating something, then gestured to Shen Lin, “Let’s walk, I guess you young man want to talk to me.”
Saying this, Lu’s father led the way.
Actually, all this was within Shen Lin’s arrangement; he couldn’t wait any longer, regardless of whether she was still too young.
The reason he did this in front of everyone was to gauge the attitudes of Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu.
After all, he wanted more than just to date; meeting the parents was inevitable sooner or later.
After they left, it made Li Zaijun worry and feel nervous.
She felt especially embarrassed.
Lu’s mother couldn’t help asking her, “What’s going on, Junjun? You and your Brother Shen…”
Li Zaijun hurriedly stammered, “No, nothing.”
“Really? Your aunt here has been through it all.” These two obviously had some secrets.
Having said this, Li Zaijun felt she couldn’t hide it any longer and shyly murmured:
“It’s just, it seems like he kind of likes me, but, but I haven’t agreed.”
She seemed to have completely forgotten how she had once boldly tackled the tall and handsome Mr. Shen.
Upon hearing this, Lu’s mother slightly raised her eyebrows.
Honestly, she didn’t believe they were completely indifferent; the way Shen Lin looked at her niece was clearly not the way one looks at an ordinary little sister.
“Aunt, what do you think of him…?”
She asked tentatively.
