Chapter 1860: We Disapprove
Shi Xiaoya wouldn’t mind, but her parents, and any other parents, might.
If Shi Xiaoya knew of his thoughts, she would’ve chided him for overthinking.
Couldn’t he see how eligible he was?
Han Zhuoling held Shi Xiaoya’s hand with one hand and gripped the steering wheel with the other, not saying much.
He knew that Shi Xiaoya found him perfect in every way.
Because of this, unknowingly, Han Zhuoling became smug again.
Not long after, they reached the Shi family’s front gate.
Mrs. Shi, Du Yiqin, stood by the French windows and craned her neck to look outside.
Shi Xiaoya’s father, Shi Guanzhong, poured himself a cup of tea. “Stop looking. The walls outside are so high, you can’t even spot them even if they’ve arrived. You’ve been staring at our walls for this past hour. Is it that interesting?”
Du Yiqin pursed her lips and pointed at the teacup in front of him. “Fine, you aren’t anxious and nervous, but it’s only been over two hours ever since you got out of bed and you’ve already drunk two pots of tea. I dare you to not go to the toilet. Have fun holding it in!”
Shi Guanzhong: “...”
However, Du Yiqin finally stopped standing by the window.
She sat next to Shi Guanzhong. “Say, who is Shi Xiaoya’s boyfriend, exactly? She wouldn’t say, and Nancang wouldn’t tell us either when asked.”
“It’s because Xiaoya didn’t allow me to.” Shi Nancang walked out of the study room.
Shi Xiaoya was bringing Han Zhuoling home today.
That was why Shi Nancang came back home to stay so he wouldn’t have to wake up early.
He went to the study room to work after waking this morning.
Because he already knew Shi Xiaoya’s boyfriend was Han Zhuoling, Shi Nancang wasn’t the least bit anxious or curious.
He was the calmest one in the house.
“Really, Xiaoya, this child, telling you but not us, and even keeping it a secret from us,” Du Yiqin grumbled.
Shi Nancang doted on his sister and immediately leaped to her defense. “Mom, you’re really wronging her right now. They’ve only officially dated for a few days this week. The moment they started dating, she’s already bringing him over for you to meet. See how she values you both!”
Du Yiqin indeed became mollified. “Alright, I’m merely worried. She’s not spoken a word, not even a blip on how old he is, what his work is, or from which family he is, and she won’t even show us a picture. I’m worried that he’s someone we would have disapproved of if she’d told us earlier.”
The hand pouring the tea shook. Shi Guanzhong shared a similar concern.
“Mom, if Xiaoya thought he’s not good, why would she bring him home so quickly? They only started dating a few days ago and she’s already daring to bring him home. That means she’s clearly confident in him! If she’s afraid you’ll disapprove, she’d have hidden him away!”
“That’s true.” Remembering that Shi Nancang had met him, Du Yiqin quickly asked, “And what do you think?”
“I...” The doorbell rang just as Shi Nancang opened his mouth.
“It must be Xiaoya!” Du Yiqin jumped up and smoothed her clothes. “I look fine like this, right?”
“Perfect,” Shi Nancang replied.
The helper switched on the intercom and, seeing Shi Xiaoya and Han Zhuoling standing in front of the door through the screen, was momentarily speechless.
“Who is it? Did you see?” Du Yiqin walked towards her.
The helper opened the door.
As Du Yiqin walked over, Shi Xiaoya and Han Zhuoling had already entered the door.
