Chapter Thirteen
King sees king. Immortal competes with immortal.
Both are the best of the best, refined and seasoned. Experience, taste, attitude towards life, all at a high point. People who are looked up to. Elegance and refinement are all on display here. Not easily revealing even half a hint of secret thoughts.
"This is...?" The father asked politely. If it was really the one who had saved his own child, he should be thanked.
"Han Yingqin." His nose was a bit stuffy. The words he spoke were muffled.
"No big or small. Call people by their names." Her father stood beside the bed, one hand on her shoulder, pinching it slightly. "Should call him uncle."
Alright. Alright. An old ginger is still spicy after all. One sentence "should call uncle" has already set the tone.
Who knew that silly boy would actually listen. "Oh, it's Uncle Han."
A little unclear...
Han Yingqin cursed her in his heart. You've already slept with him and still call him "Uncle Han".
However, Han Shuai didn't mind. It's just an uncle being an uncle. What Han Shuai did mind was other things. The little troublemaker was too close to his father. Too dependent... This is going to be a problem later on. As long as the kid says "My dad said this" or "I'll go ask my dad that", Han Shuai would frown and scold, "How old are you now? Still asking your dad everything. Can't you make your own judgments? Make your own decisions?" Sometimes, he would scold the kid to tears and then ignore him for several days.
Actually, Han Shuai also knew that he had gone a bit too far. Mainly it was the first time they met and the "forbidden" feeling stuck in his heart. And then... Ye Dad's abrupt decision somewhat hurt Han Shuai's dignity as a soldier. Although he also knew that Ye Dad was just being objective, not personal.
"Hello. I am Xiaoxiao's father. Thank you for taking care of her." Xiaoxiao's dad is being polite and sincere. Whoever has taken care of their daughter Xiaoxiao, they are all grateful to them in the Lao Gao family. Xiaoxiao's parents appreciate him from the bottom of their hearts.
"Hello. I am Han Yingqin. I have already given her a thorough examination just now. Nothing serious. You can rest assured." Han Shuai replied with a slight smile, elegant and dignified, with an air of great talent that was very convincing.
"Where did you meet her."
"Huangpi Training Base." Han Shuai didn't hide it either.
Dad looked at his silly daughter and said, "Where did you run off to?"
He raised his head and looked up.
This kid has always been like this. In peacetime, she's too used to being spoiled. If she hadn't received any stimulation, her dad asked her and she would definitely spin a web of lies in her head. A string of lies would come out of her mouth.
But
She was shocked. She was quite shocked. She told her father everything, beep beep.
This is also one of the reasons why Han Shuai's heart is stuck. He knows she's a person who can talk nonsense all day long. Last time, didn't he hear her cheating on her dad when she was making a phone call? But now... it's really an emergency. She's too dependent on her dad. Just like a child who has been bullied outside and runs back to hide in his father's arms as soon as he gets home. No words are left unspoken, no thoughts are left unexpressed... Han Shuai's heart is stuck for a moment. He thinks that if she were with him, she wouldn't be so honest. She must still have some tricks up her sleeve...
"Dad... I never told you about Zheng Jing's matter. Thought I could handle it..."
She really said it all. Like pouring out beans.
Dad's eyebrows were slightly furrowed. He seemed emotionally stable. Patiently listening to the bean-spilling.
Actually...
Dad listened to her finish speaking and just gently patted his daughter's shoulder.
"You're also clueless. Cough. Still too naive."
This is the first sentence.
The first sentence made Han Shuai feel something was off.
The narrative is actually very real. She's a sincere kid. She didn't shirk herself. She pushed all the responsibility onto others. She also admitted that she shouldn't have hung out with both Hu Lai and Zheng Jing at the same time.
But. Father just said "Doesn't understand things. Still too naive."
This father is too overprotective.
Of course. Later, Han Shuai's "strictness" towards Xi Xi is not necessarily worth praising either. It's still very protective. The key is Xi Dad's second sentence. Han Shuai didn't like the sound of it.
Dad said to his daughter like this.
"Alright, I'll go to the Hu's tomorrow. We'll call off the engagement. Then take me to the Zheng's. Dad will apologize and give them compensation for calling off this marriage too... The most important thing is out now. "After this incident, your relationship with the troops won't be good either. From now on, we won't look for a son-in-law from the troops anymore. There are many good boys in other fields."
Dang dang dang...
Professor Gao is easy to get along with.
On the surface, calm as water. In his heart, Old Man Li is furious. This counts as a formal warning:
Our family, Lao Gao's household, from now on, no more soldiers as sons-in-law.
Get out of here! Get far away from our house! Scram! The farther the better!
Haha. Professor Gao is going to be furious... Remember, that's his Achilles' heel.
