Shi Ze promised solemnly. “Uncle, don’t worry about it. It is my fortune to be able to get together with Qian Xun, and I will definitely take good care of her, and not let her suffer any grievances.”
Old Master Su nodded his head in satisfaction before replying compassionately, “As a father, the thought of my daughter becoming part of someone else’s family has my heart going empty. I start to think about all sorts of things, and even though I know you guys well, I still can’t help but feel uneasy. Even if it’s just an engagement, it still feels as if the daughter isn’t mine any longer.”
Shi Ze smiled. “The trend right now is for men to take care of their wives like daughters. I will dote on Qian Xun the same way.”
That reply had Old Master Su laughing out in happiness. After he stopped, he looked at Shi Ze solemnly. “But honestly, I really want to know... do you love our Qian Xun?”
If this man loved her, he would not have to worry at all. It was only through love would there be tolerance. If there was no love and merely doting, it was as good as taking care of a pet, and there would be no true comfort and happiness.
When Qian Xun heard that question, she hastened in her steps and called out, “Daddy...”
How could Shi Ze possibly love her? Their relationship was of a cooperation—she should not make things difficult for Shi Ze with such a tough question.
The moment Qian Xun appeared in his vision, Old Master Su smiled out even more brightly. “You’re here!”
Shi Ze smiled gently to Qian Xun as well and reached out to hold her hand, declaring firmly before Old Master Su. “Uncle, I love Qian Xun.”
Qian Xun appeared to bail Shi Ze out of his predicament, but she had not expected him to...
She felt uneasy from head to toe. That hand of hers that Shi Ze was holding onto felt as though it was bitten by a viper and was freezing all over.
She wanted to retract her hand slowly, yet Shi Ze merely tightened his grip.
Old Master Su looked at them. “If I were to be gone one day and the Su Family as well, would you still love her the same?”
Shi Ze replied with conviction, “Of course, I’ll love her forever!”
As he said that, he looked at Qian Xun lovingly while reaching out to rub her forehead dotingly. Qian Xun’s lips were pursed tightly. Even though she said nothing, her heart was scoffing coldly.
Even if it was just a show, she did not want Shi Ze to do it till this extent.
She had thought that she would be able to accept Shi Ze as a working partner in the past. But for some reason, she was starting to find him really disgusting and unacceptable.
As an actor who was used to portraying the life of others, it was easy for her to read the intents of others.
“Old Master, it’s time for your fumigation 1 .” A helper reminded.
“Daddy, your rheumatism is working up again?” Qian Xun frowned.
“It’s inevitable now that I’m getting old.” Old Master Su was unbothered.
“Is it serious? Do you need to head to the hospital for a check-up?” Shi Ze asked worriedly.
“It’s just an old ailment. I’ll get better with more treatment and fumigation. Don’t worry too much about it.” He then stood up with the assistance of the helper. “You guys continue chatting. Stay for dinner.”
After Old Master Su left, Qian Xun flung Shi Ze’s and away and sat opposite him, declaring coldly, “There’s no need for you to tell my father such stuff. Be it the engagement that’s coming up or even if we get married in the future, our relationship is nothing but a cooperation!”
Shi Ze laughed and raised his brow. “What if I say that I don’t want it to be a cooperation?”
