Yang Ling was delighted to hear Xiao Feng's words. He was only slightly taken aback at first, but then he laughed heartily and replied, "Haha, young people will inevitably encounter some setbacks in their work, but you are still young, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future! As long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely stand out in the future."
"Yes, auntie, you are absolutely right! My brother is exactly like this. In fact, my mother and I have always wanted to help him, but he has always refused to accept help from his family, saying that he wants to prove his ability. "But I absolutely believe my brother will succeed! He has always been the best in my mind."
"Sister Xiaoqing, you are so confident in him, but I don't think he is as good as you say!" Zhou Xinjie, who had been silent all the time, suddenly glanced at Xiao Feng and interrupted with a sparkle in her eye.
"Sister, you're so confident! I admire that. But I'm curious, how do you muster up that courage to say such things to others, even if they might laugh at you?" Zhou Xinru smiled brightly and replied to Zhou Xinjie in a cheerful voice.
Xiao Feng smiled brightly and replied, "You know what, Xinjie is absolutely right! I may not be as good as Xiaoqing said, but I'm getting there! "I have always been lazy and have no ambitions, so I have achieved nothing until now – but I'm excited to change that!"
Yang Ling smiled and stood up, her eyes bright with excitement. "Men will grow up when they are under pressure," she said, her voice ringing with enthusiasm. "That's why the ancients said that they should get married first and then start a career." This is why! Once a man has a family and feels the weight of responsibility on his shoulders, he will work hard and make a name for himself! I'm sure that Xiao Feng will not always be content with being ordinary. Oh, I'm not going to get involved in your love life! It all depends on you two communicating and understanding each other! "I'll go to the bathroom first, and you can have a nice, long chat!"
"Auntie, I'll come with you!" Xiao Xiaoqing saw Yang Ling walking out and, filled with excitement, got up and followed him.
As soon as Yang Ling and Xiao Xiaoqing left the room, Zhou Xinru turned to Xiao Feng and asked, "Do you have any objections to our relationship?"
Xiao Feng's heart was racing with excitement as he glanced at Zhou Xinjie, who was expressionless beside him. He raised his eyebrows and said: "Why do you think so?" he replied, his eyes alight with curiosity. "I didn't say I disagree!"
"But what you said just now was so revealing! If you agree, you'll definitely be full of confidence and not say these self-deprecating words! "Am I right?" Zhou Xinru stared at Xiao Feng deeply with her beautiful eyes, a faint smile playing on her lips. It was impossible to tell what she was thinking, but it was clear that she was filled with excitement!
"Oh my goodness, this..." Xiao Feng was caught out and felt a little embarrassed, but it was all in good fun! He touched his nose and said, "Xinru, I absolutely agree with you!" After all, if a beautiful and capable girl like you says he is not moved, I am sure he is definitely not a man – and that's a good thing! But I know my own situation, and I'm excited about it! I really am not worthy of you, but I'm going to prove to you that I can change! "It's better to avoid any awkwardness and not start now, rather than risk being dumped by you in the future."
"Oh? I would absolutely love to hear why you say you are not worthy of me." If you can give me a good reason why I shouldn't date you, I'll be happy to tell my mother that I don't want to go out with you! Zhou Xinru looked at Xiao Feng with a beaming smile.
"Really? "You're not lying to me, right?" Xiao Feng looked at Zhou Xinru with eager anticipation. But Zhou Xinru was so excited when she saw his look! "Hmph! You must think I'm pretty amazing if a guy like you is getting so excited just because I agreed not to date you." I'm still fighting with you! The more you want to mess this up, the more I'll make it happen! "Let's see who's the better one, you or me!"
Although Zhou Xinru was very upset, she smiled and said, "Why on earth would I lie to you?" I'm all for it! As long as you give me a good reason, I'll be right there with you, making sure this blind date goes down in flames!
Zhou Xinru was a delight to converse with, but Zhou Xinjie on the side found it a bit much. Her pretty face fell, and she slammed the table and growled at Xiao Feng: "Hey, what qualifications do you have to treat my sister like this? I bet you're secretly thrilled that my sister likes you! You're bold enough to make excuses here! I just wanted to give you a heads-up: don't be ungrateful! "
Xiao Feng gave a little shrug and said with a cheeky grin: "Xinjie, I'm telling you, I don't mean to dislike your sister! "It's because I feel a little ashamed and feel that I am not worthy of your sister, so I am like this."
Zhou Xinru saw that her sister wanted to say something, so she pulled her sister's hand with a big, bright smile on her face and said, "Sister, let's stay calm for now and see how he explains it."
Zhou Xinjie let out a playful snort, crossed her arms and looked at Xiao Feng with a cheeky grin. Her face showed an expression that said, "I'm really looking forward to hearing your explanation, so get on with it!"
Zhou Xinru looked at her sister with a playful smile, shook her head and fixed her eyes on Xiao Feng, saying, "Now tell me your reasons! I'm really excited to hear your explanation."
Xiao Feng let out a huge sigh of relief, but kept a serious look on his face and said, "Xinru, you heard what I said just now. You are absolutely gorgeous, and so clever and talented too! You've already started a huge clothing company at a young age, with a car and a house! I haven't achieved anything yet, but I'm excited to see what the future holds! I even have two months' rent for my house to pay, but I'm sure I'll be able to find a way to make it work. But that's not the most important thing! Guess what! I found out the day before yesterday that I have a twelve-year-old daughter to support, and now she's come to my door! How can I let you date someone like me? I'm so excited to see where this goes! If I continue to date you without telling you, how can I possibly face my daughter and you in the future? "I can't wait to make you my stepmother as soon as we get married!"
"Oh my goodness, is everything you said true?" So you should be twenty-five years old like me now? "How can you have a twelve-year-old daughter?" Zhou Xinru looked at Xiao Feng with interest.
