Chapter 680
His answer stunned Zhang Manhua.
Sweeping her eyes on his chiseled face, she then looked at her daughter’s round face.
Hm! Ge Ge is my daughter, and I don’t think she’s ugly, but I still can’t go against my conscience and say that she’s an absolute match to a man like Xiao Ji.
Logically, with this type of matching, it’s usually the lady chasing the guy…
“Mom, why are you looking at me like that?” Pei Ge blinked in confusion when she noted her mother’s suspicious stare.
“Well, it’s just that, no matter how I look at it, shouldn’t you be the one confessing Xiao Ji…” her mother commented.
That made her lips twitch.
When her questions got heavier, his face also turned solemn.
“Auntie, you asked me what I like about her, but I don’t know how to answer that. You may not believe this, but she’s… the first woman who can make me feel different kinds of emotions.”
A light smile appeared on his lips and a doting quality colored his voice as he spoke.
“I get mad when she’s with another man, I feel happy when I see her, I feel worried when she’s hurt, and I get… nervous when she’s gone.”
The tension in her heart finally eased with his reply. She could tell that he indeed liked—no, he loved her daughter.
“Actually, I’ve long liked her, but I’ve only realized it recently. When she got transferred out of town, I realized that I couldn’t live without her anymore.”
“So you confessed?” she asked with a smile.
“Yes.” He nodded, his lips curling upward as he casually said, “I confessed to her with marriage in mind. As for my parents, the person getting married is me and not them; it doesn’t matter even if they don’t agree.”
Actually, he was not pleased with the way her father had handled Pei Ge, and that was why he had not returned home for quite some time.
“That can’t happen. Marriage isn’t an issue between two people but two families. If your parents don’t like her and don’t agree to your marriage, then no matter how good you are, I won’t entrust Ge Ge in your hands.”
Her smile instantly dimmed.
She could see that he came from a good family background, and this was exactly what she was worried about.
Instantly, when her face turned cold, he felt lost.
“Rest assured, auntie; there won’t be problems on my parents’ side.”
