Chapter 77
That's not what I meant!
"Yes, I think so!" Hu Liena nodded in agreement. "Grandpa Ning, don't worry, I will definitely supervise my brother well and will not let you down!"
She's an expert at shipping couples!
Ning Qi laughed heartily, "Alright! Shu'er's happiness depends on you all!"
"Ha ha!"
Hu Liena chuckled along, and the two joked around, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
Xie Yue, on the other hand, felt incredibly embarrassed and wanted to disappear into the ground.
She really is my younger sister; she says whatever comes to mind.
Yan listened from the side, wanting to chime in, but couldn't get a word in edgewise, so he decided to help Xie Yue up and find something to do.
"By the way, Brother Xieyue, where is A-Shu? Where did A-Shu go? Why is it her grandfather here?" Yan suddenly asked.
Xie Yue pointed to the hospital, "There was a misunderstanding. A-Shu's father and grandfather thought A-Shu was gone, so they came to the hospital crying. A-Shu is talking to her father in the hospital now. Grandpa Ning wanted to talk to me alone, so he came out with me."
Ning Shu's father?!
Yan suddenly stared wide-eyed at Xie Yue, "Brother Xie Yue, you're moving too fast! You're already meeting the parents? That's a bit too quick!"
Xie Yue slapped him on the back, frowned, and said, "What do you mean by meeting the parents? It was just a misunderstanding, a coincidence!"
Yan chuckled and said cheekily, "What misunderstanding? It's clearly God's help for you. Didn't you hear Nana and Grandpa Ning's conversation just now? Grandpa Ning thinks highly of you. You won over A-Shu's elders without lifting a finger!"
"."
Although Yan's words were really annoying, they were actually quite pleasant to hear.
They won over Ning Shu's family without lifting a finger; in that sense, it makes sense.
Xie Yue pretended to be unhappy and hit Yan lightly. "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense here. Don't say these things in front of A Shu. If A Shu hears you, do you think she'll beat you up?"
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything, I definitely won't say it in front of her, my dear Xieyue, you can rest assured. No matter what I say, I would never betray my own brother, right?"
What's more, you're my future brother-in-law.
Yan said with a smile.
Xie Yue glared at him, but didn't say anything else.
More than that, he cared about Ning Shu's own attitude.
Even if the people around Ning Shu are very satisfied with him and like him, it will be of no use if Ning Shu doesn't like him.
I wonder what Ah Shu is thinking.
In the hospital, in a ward.
Ning Shu sat on the sofa. She and Yu Shui had said almost everything they needed to say. Yu Shui originally wanted to ask Ning Shu what her opinion was on Xie Yue. Actually, from his perspective, he didn't like Xie Yue very much.
What kind of good person could the man who kidnapped his daughter be?
"Shu'er, there's something your father wants to ask you."
After much deliberation, Yu Shui decided to ask Ning Shu for her opinion. If Ning Shu really liked Xie Yue, then he, as her father, would try to accept the boy.
Seeing Yu Shui's expression, which looked like he'd eaten a lemon, Ning Shu didn't know what he was struggling with, so she frowned and said, "What is it? Please ask."
"It's about that kid from earlier," Yu Shui took a deep breath and asked.
"Evil Moon?" Ning Shu asked back.
Yu Shui nodded. "Yes, it's that boy. Shu'er, tell your father the truth. I've already noticed that he likes you. Now I want to ask you, do you like him? Your behavior just now was a bit strange, and I'm a little worried about you."
"Are you worried about me?"
Is he behaving strangely?
Ning Shu was taken aback. "Father, I think you've misunderstood."
Misunderstand?
What does that mean?
Yu Shui frowned as she looked at Ning Shu.
Ning Shu said, "The reason I reacted that way just now was because Seventh Grandfather insisted on taking Xie Yue out to talk. Don't I know Grandfather's personality? He wanted to gossip about whether there was anything between Xie Yue and me. I was afraid he would misunderstand something, so I reacted that way. I was also afraid of causing trouble for Xie Yue. Some things don't need to be said outright."
Is there no need to spell it out?
Does this mean she doesn't like Xie Yue?
Yu Shui frowned again. Why was his Shu'er speaking so incoherently these days?
"Father, Xie Yue and I are just friends right now. There's no romantic relationship between us. We don't really have romantic feelings for each other yet, and I don't really want to be in a relationship right now, much less put all my eggs in one basket," Ning Shu explained calmly.
Her dream is to own a whole forest; hanging herself on one tree is not her style. If she could, she would like to have two women on either side of her.
"???"
Hearing Ning Shu's words, Yu Shui's head was filled with question marks.
Even if he were stupid, he would understand what Ning Shu meant by those words.
He exclaimed in surprise, "Shu'er, what are you thinking?!"
"No, no, no, Shu'er, although your father understands your desire for multiple wives and concubines—oh no, not multiple wives and concubines, but multiple husbands—this matter, this thing, it's not that simple, and your idea is so dangerous! What if, what if... your body can't take it!"
Yu Shui eagerly expressed his thoughts.
He had absolutely no prejudice against the daughter he had raised, and he would support Ning Shu in whatever she wanted to do. However, from a moral standpoint, this matter might not be entirely acceptable.
Ning Shu could understand why Yu Shui was in such a hurry. She raised her hand to stop Yu Shui and said, "Father, I didn't mean that. I don't have the idea of polyandry. I just think I'm still young and there's no need to rush to find someone to be with. Maybe I'll meet someone better in the future. Don't you think so? Why do we have to make a choice now? Making a choice now is really too early."
After she explained her point from a different angle, Yu Shui finally breathed a sigh of relief. "So that's what you were thinking. You scared me to death."
"Haha." Ning Shu laughed awkwardly.
Actually, Yu Shui's explanation is not bad; she only has two levels of thinking, both of which are inclusive.
But what Yu Shui mentioned was something she could only dream about; she couldn't actually have polyandry.
Yu Shui nodded, indicating that he understood Ning Shu's meaning. "Since you don't have romantic feelings for that boy now, your father won't say anything more. But if you ever develop feelings for him in the future, remember to tell your father. Your father doesn't particularly like him, and his relationship with you is none of your business. But if you ever want to marry him, you must tell your father in advance. Your father wants to test him. That boy looks very serious, but seemingly serious men are the most deceitful. Remember not to fall for his sweet talk!"
