Regarding the matter of Zhao Ruoxi, Su Xuan had indeed considered whether to tell his parents. However, he later thought it over and decided against it. After all, it had only been a few months since the original owner broke up with his ex-girlfriend and suddenly got into a new relationship. It was a bit unusual. But what he didn’t expect was that something even more unusual was yet to come.
The reason for this was that Father Su thought Su Xuan, at his age, and after having a long-term relationship with his ex-girlfriend, might find it challenging to start a new one on his own. So he arranged a blind date for him.
Father Su was a smart man. During this blind date, he only met the girl three times in total. The first time was when he coincidentally ran into her leaving Su’s house, carrying a bag of bright beans. The second time was the next morning when Su Xuan was sent by Father Su to buy groceries in town. And the third time…
Su Xuan looked at the woman sitting across from him at the dining table, calmly picking up a chicken wing. If he didn’t understand the situation by now, he wouldn’t be much of a policeman. Su Xuan really didn’t expect that before he could even tell Father Su that he had someone in mind for a future relationship, Father Su had already arranged a blind date for him.
Thanks, but no thanks!
“Su Xuan, um…”
“Do you think Zhezhe is a good match for you?”
“Even though she’s two years younger, you both share common interests, right?”
“Plus, she has a stable job in the county.”
“What do you say? If you think it’s a good idea, I’ll add her as a friend…”
“And you can chat?”
After lunch, Su Xuan and Father Su each took a hoe and started digging up potatoes in the field.
In the midst of their work, Father Su, watching his son calmly digging up potatoes without any expression, thought for a moment and decided to ask.
At these words, Su Xuan, who had been working, stopped.
He raised his hand, picked up the potatoes he had dug up, and threw them onto the field bank, all under the expectant gaze of Father Su.
He took a deep breath.
“Father Su, let’s drop this matter.”
Upon hearing this, Father Su’s heart skipped a beat.
This was bad.
Could it be that his son was still trapped in his previous relationship and couldn’t move on?
When would he be able to have grandchildren?
He was about to offer his son some encouragement.
At least he should say something, coax him out of his previous relationship first!
However, before he could say a word, he heard his son add another sentence.
“I already have someone in mind for a stable relationship.”
“But I haven’t won her over yet.”
“Don’t mess it up for me, okay?”
“Otherwise, there really won’t be any hope of having grandchildren!”
It’s not that Su Xuan wanted to say it this way.
He was genuinely worried!
Right now, he was just planning to meet her secretly.
But what if they ended up causing some unnecessary trouble, and Zhao Ruoxi found out…
Even if he jumped into the river next to the police station, he wouldn’t be able to wash off that blame!
So, he thought it was better to say it in advance!
He initially thought that his father would be shocked after he revealed his plans.
However, what he didn’t expect was that after he finished speaking, his father grabbed his hand in astonishment.
“Is it true, Su Xuan?”
“You finally have someone you’re interested in!”
“That’s great! When are you inviting her to our house for a meal?”
“Don’t hide your girlfriend when you have one, let your mom and me meet her!”
All these words sounded exciting and enthusiastic.
Su Xuan’s mouth twitched.
He had to remind his father, who seemed to have gone mad with excitement.
“Just a potential interest.”
“I haven’t won her over yet.”
Until he was sure whether Zhao Ruoxi liked him or not, Su Xuan didn’t want to make any big claims.
But clearly, his father was overjoyed.
“In that case, you better work hard, son!”
“When I was your age, I had already won your mother over!”
“You can’t beat your old man!”
Father Su sighed.
As for the relationship that ended after several years, neither of them had any. It was awkward!
Perhaps knowing that his son now had a potential love interest, Father Su’s enthusiasm for work seemed to skyrocket.
It didn’t take long for him to dig up all the potatoes in the field.
Four large baskets full.
Su Xuan felt like his eyes were turning into potatoes from looking at so many!
Fortunately, there weren’t any other fields; otherwise, Su Xuan might have mistaken himself for a potato and buried himself in the ground.
Seriously…
Planting so many potatoes was quite a task!
After finishing with the potatoes, they went to dig up some bamboo shoots. Su Xuan’s day was quite eventful.
On the way back, the car was loaded with the day’s harvest, including crayfish and yellow eels from their own pond.
Su Xuan:…
“Old Su, when you have some time, sort out these things. It’s fine with crayfish and yellow eels, but why do we even have mudfish?”
“These three mudfish, you can eat them yourself.”
“I’m too lazy to cook…”
Overall, during this trip to the countryside, Su Xuan had fully embraced this identity.
On the way back to the city, he felt that the sky had cleared up quite a bit. However, when people become too complacent, they often encounter unpleasant things.
Su Xuan took a turn, and not long after, a figure rushed out onto the road, blocking his car.
“Screech!”
The tires screeched against the ground, leaving deep marks.
Su Xuan, still shaken from the encounter, looked up, and the person blocking his path had quickly rushed toward him. They grabbed the car door handle, attempting to pull it open.
Thankfully, Su Xuan had locked the car immediately.
The person struggled for a while but couldn’t open the door. Frustrated, they started pounding on the car window.
“Su Xuan, get out of the car!”
“Unlock the door, I need to get in!”
“Hurry up!”
The person was loud and demanding, just as Su Xuan remembered— suffocating.
“Move aside!”
Seeing that the person had pounded on the passenger door without success, they moved to the driver’s side.
Su Xuan spoke icily, “Let go!”
Upon hearing this, the woman, who had expected him to open the door, was momentarily stunned. Then, she became furious.
“Su Xuan! Say that to me one more time!”
“I’m telling you to open the car door for me!”
“If you don’t open it, don’t blame me for being rude to you…”
“Hurry up and unlock it!”
“I need to talk to you…”
The woman’s voice continued to drift over, incessant. Su Xuan gripped the steering wheel, looking at the woman who had aged dramatically in just one month, furrowing his brow. He lowered the car window by about half an inch. Ensuring that the woman couldn’t even manage to insert her finger through, he finally spoke. “I don’t have anything to say to you.”
“Move aside!”
Indeed, the unexpected roadblock wasn’t anyone else but the former girlfriend of the original host, Qin Shuyi. She widened her eyes, completely taken aback by how Su Xuan was talking to her.
Little did she know that she had come to see Su Xuan this time for his own good!
“I won’t move aside!”
“Su Xuan, how could you treat me like this…”
“I’m your girlfriend!”
She looked at Su Xuan with a face full of grievances, and her words flowed endlessly.
“I’ve thought it over, I don’t want to break up with you…”
“Let’s get married, Su Xuan!”
“I don’t even want a big dowry. Just give me two hundred thousand yuan as a dowry, and then another two hundred thousand for the wedding banquet. We can get married!”
She tilted her head as if offering a generous deal but failed to notice that through the car window, Su Xuan was looking at her as if she were a fool!
