Proud senior schoolgirl was tender and sweet, we fell in love

Wang Wen looked at her daughter with a soft gaze, her lips unconsciously curling into a slight smile.

Laughter also shimmered in her eyes.

Over the years, her opinion and her husband's about Liu Ou's relationship were exactly opposite.

In the past, Liu Da initially thought that their relationship wouldn't go far, but now he had gradually accepted it.

He even started to think Lin Yu wasn't bad, aside from being poor, but that wasn't a problem, a man can work hard and strive for success.

Contrary to Liu Da, she thought this young man was quite decent the first time she went to the night market and saw Lin Yu, simple and honest.

And the people around couldn't all be lying; the nearby merchants spoke highly of him.

But the longer they were together, the more worried Wang Wen became.

Her daughter's state of wholeheartedly considering the other party made her feel dazed and anxious.

She was afraid her daughter would be hurt like herself, not getting the return for her devotion.

Some hurts take a very long time to heal, if they ever do.

Just like the current relationship between her and Liu Da, they both knew that each of them wanted to fix what was between them, but many things couldn't be resolved by merely putting in effort.

That was the case with their relationship.

No matter how hard they tried, the crack was still there. Find adventures at empire

When the news of Lin Yu going abroad to study reached her, she started feeling anxious.

He would be gone for three or four years.

No one can guarantee what happens overseas, and although they're very much in love now, the time difference, distance, and that span of three to four years are challenging.

Wang Wen feared that one of them might change their heart.

And as Liu Ou's mother, even though such thoughts were selfish, she couldn't help but think it would be better if Liu Ou were the one to change.

What if it were Lin Yu?

Liu Ou would be in China, taking care of the old lady, waiting wholeheartedly.

But what could that yield?

Though it may seem like needless worrying, as a mother, she simply couldn't help but think about these things.

At this moment, hearing Lin Yu chatting with her husband outside, Wang Wen looked at her daughter and couldn't help but speak up, "This is the first time Lin Yu has come to our house as your boyfriend, what are you two thinking?"

These words weren't straight to the point, but Liu Ou understood the forthcoming probing.

Liu Ou looked at her mother seriously and said, "Mom, I thought you and dad were different, you haven't interfered with my love life at all these years."

She paused, "I had proposed to Lin Yu before, I want to marry him."

Wang Wen was taken aback for a moment, not immediately voicing any objections.

Instead, she said calmly, "I didn't intervene before because I know love isn't something that can be influenced to produce the results we want, and I didn't know Lin Yu would go abroad."

If it were in the country, they would get married and that would be it.

But now Lin Yu is going abroad, while Liu Ou will wait in the country.

She did not hold much optimism.

After Liu Ou heard her words, she fell silent for a moment. The Liu Ou of the past might not have the patience to accept her parents' opinions.

After all, she was somewhat rebellious back then, thinking that since they didn't care about her before, they shouldn't start now.

But the Liu Ou of today had matured a lot, plus she had talked it over with Lin Yu.

Lin Yu wasn't opposed to her parents' behavior, he could even understand it.

So, starting from Liu Da's birthday when he went to grandma's house for dinner, Liu Ou also tried to live in peace with them.

Indeed, when she didn't approach her parents' actions with a strong attitude of aversion, she found that many things were actually quite reasonable.

For example, as parents, they were now worried about their child's relationship.

It wasn't that they didn't want to intervene, but they still tried to talk to her nicely.

Liu Ou couldn't just snap back like she used to.

Instead, there was a moment of silence before she spoke, "Are you worried that Lin Yu will change his heart after he goes abroad?"

Wang Wen didn't say anything; silence was the best answer.

Liu Ou glanced outside, her voice getting softer, "Actually, I worry too."

She looked up at Wang Wen, "But mom, even if Lin Yu and I break up, it's not guaranteed that I will meet someone else I like.

It's so hard to meet someone you like. Not to mention that I'm very much in love with him, and I know he loves me, a breakup is simply not possible."

Her voice was gentle, "In fact, if it hadn't been Lin Yu, I probably wouldn't have fallen in love at all."

I fell in love because of Lin Yu, not because Lin Yu was there when I wanted to be in love.

The focus is on Lin Yu himself,

If it weren't for Lin Yu, I might still be alone to this day.

So, it's different.

All she wanted was to be in a relationship with Lin Yu.

Liu Ou laughed carefreely, "Because it's Lin Yu, I want to take a gamble. If I win, I'll have a happy and fulfilling future; if I lose, it won't be much different from before, just with one more scar on my heart that I can handle."

After saying this much, Wang Wen simply couldn't bring herself to say any more words of persuasion.

She was worried, yet she felt that indeed, this was something her daughter would do.

So Wang Wen didn't say anything else but nodded, "Then I wish you success."

You're an adult now; it's normal for you to have your own thoughts.

As parents, all we can do is support you and offer a helping hand when necessary.

Liu Ou breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, her mom was indeed easier to talk with than her father.

Lin Yu and Liu Da had been chatting in the living room for quite a while.

In truth, Lin Yu didn't really have much experience in love to share, but he couldn't refuse when his eager future father-in-law engaged him in such a conversation.

So, he buckled down and talked, even managing to make the other person happy.

The atmosphere at the dinner table that followed was indeed very harmonious and relaxed.

Lin Yu slowly felt relieved as well.

After dinner, the four of them chatted in the living room.

Lin Yu still took the opportunity to say that he would buy a house, and that the house would be registered in Liu Ou's name.

Liu Ou hadn't known about this beforehand, so she was caught off guard when Lin Yu mentioned it.

She turned around, looking at Lin Yu with surprise.

Even Liu Da and Wang Wen were stunned.

Liu Da came to his senses, "Buying a house is a good thing, but since you're not married to Liu Ou yet, there's really no hurry to add her name."

While he was pleased with Lin Yu's attitude, Liu Da knew it wasn't appropriate.

Wang Wen, for once, agreed with her husband, "Exactly, adding Liu Ou's name now really isn't suitable. No one can predict the future; we can't take advantage of you."

Liu Ou wanted to speak up but was interrupted by Lin Yu, "Uncle, Auntie, I'm worried precisely because you could say it's uncertain. You know that I am going abroad next month and there's not much time left. I want this matter to be certain."

He held Liu Ou's hand, his tone serious, "If you put yourself in my shoes, think about it. If my daughter fell in love with a boy, but right in the middle of their passionate relationship, that boy had to go abroad for three or four years, I suspect I'd be so worried I wouldn't be able to sleep."

His voice was soft, "I can't let you worry, nor can I let Hai Ou worry. If I didn't feel it was too casual, I'd even consider getting married to her before I leave."
