"Dad..."
"Yunshen, your mother and I have been dancing together for a long time, and we have always felt guilty. She lost her parents since she was a child, and we love her more. We want to take good care of her. When we get old, you will take care of her for the rest of our lives. But we never thought that she would have her own thoughts. I don't want to be a canary in a golden room, and I want to be good. Maybe I want to be good enough to be worthy of you."
"She's already good enough to deserve me. She..." Li Yunshen was so anxious that he didn't know what to say. Only then did he have the impulsiveness and irrationality that a young man should have.
Li Chengyan chuckled and patted her on the shoulder, "You think it's good enough that she just needs to stand by your side, but she doesn't think so. Just like you want to be better and have enough capital to support her. And if she said that you were good enough, she didn't need you to become better and stronger. She just needed you to be the second ancestor who had kept the family business. Do you think you would be happy?"
Li Yunshen was in a daze and suddenly remembered that these days, he was very unhappy that Lin Mengwu had so many people pestering her. She wanted to ask about her life and her classmates.
But she would stop him, and she said that to him that day.
"Dad, do you mean... Does she feel that I have been restricting her from imprisoning her and not giving her freedom?" Li yun's face turned pale, and there was pain in his expression.
Li Chengyan patted him on the shoulder with a chuckle and said, "I didn't say that. I don't think so either. But Yunshen, sometimes, apart from love, there are other things between two people, such as respect for each other's freedom, such as..."
"But I see you and mom... You also see her very closely. You're involved in everything about her. You know all her friends. And you don't allow her to talk to other men casually. It's always good."
Li Chengyan frowned and said after a moment, "Yes, your mother and I do get along in this way, but do you think your mother's character is the same as Wu's? Your mother is the kind of person who can't hide things in her heart, and she is simple, and she doesn't like to be a diamond in the horns. To put it simply... She's a rather thoughtless person. If she's like this, I naturally have to keep an eye on her all the time to prevent her from being deceived. But Wu is different. That child has been smart since he was young and has a deep mind. You can't use all the patterns on one thing, understand?"
Li yun pursed his lips and nodded. He seemed to understand. In an instant, he seemed to have figured out a lot of things.
But there was one thing he still didn't understand, and he didn't want to make wild guesses about his parents, so he asked directly, "Dad, there's one more thing I can't figure out. If I want to go abroad, she won't go with me. Why can't she stay in Feng City? She's never left our shelter since she was so old. I'm really worried about sending her to this strange place all of a sudden. Are you and mom at ease? My mother is a worrier again, isn't she really at ease?"
Li Chengyan's eyes darkened, and a strange look flashed across them.
But soon, he chuckled and said, "I've also discussed this with your mother seriously. First of all, she wants to grow up. To a place that is out of the control of our Li Family, we don't support this, but we respect her ideas. Secondly, as you know, the High School of Rong City is not only in Rong City and the province, but also in the country's top high schools. She's smart enough to adapt to the pace here. Besides, you said that Lee Ye is here and he's taking care of her. What's there to worry about?"
"I see. I was being paranoid," Li Yunshen said.
"What, what did you think before? Don't you think your mother and I are suddenly dissatisfied with your relationship and want to separate you?"
Li Yunshen lowered his head in shame.
He did have this idea before, but he couldn't be blamed!
His parents had always supported him and Wu and never wanted them to be separated. It wasn't until this year that he had been on the agenda to go abroad. He had already thought of this and said that he would let Wu go abroad with him.
Now she suddenly got xiaowu here and didn't tell him, so she missed the time to apply for admission abroad.
It was strange that he didn't think too much.
"Wu is coming back soon!" Li Chengyan asked.
Li Yunshen nodded, suddenly stood up and said in horror, "No, I forgot to pick her up. Dad, sit down. I'll pick her up."
After that, he took his coat and ran out.
Li Chengyan: ..."
The corners of her mouth twitched and she shook her head speechlessly.
They all said that he had a good son and that he had taught his children well. His son, Li Yunshen, would definitely be the most outstanding young man in Feng City in the future.
But if anyone saw him like this, they would be disappointed.
He was really afraid that this kid would be a slave to his wife in the future.
However, he himself was a slave to his wife, and he didn't take it seriously.
They had watched Lin Mengwu grow up, so there was no need to worry about her mother-in-law relationship. So even if he was a slave to his wife, there was nothing wrong with it.
Nanny Lee had already prepared the food. Because Li Chengyan came over, he added a few more dishes.
Li Yunshen ran to school quickly, but it was already over. He could only pick up Lin Mengwu at the school gate and couldn't go in.
However, Lin Mengwu was very happy because she didn't want Li Yunshen to go in because of what Luo Qian said to her today so as not to cause trouble.
However, looking at his sweaty face as he ran, he took out a handkerchief and wiped it for him sadly, "Why are you running so fast? It doesn't matter if you don't pick me up. Anyway, it's so close, I can walk back myself."
"For the last time, how could I not come to pick you up? I forgot the time. My father came and chatted with me for a while, forgetting the time." Li Yunshen said quickly.
"Uncle is here?" Lin Mengwu showed a surprised expression, then looked him up and down, and said anxiously, "Did uncle hit you? Did he do anything to you?"
Li Yunshen looked at her anxious look and couldn't help but be elated. He curled his lips and said, "Don't worry, of course it's nothing. Let's go home quickly! Nanny Lee has already made dinner and go home to eat."
Because it was her brother's cover, Li Yunshen held Lin Mengwu's hand and led her home without fear.
Tian Xin came out of school and saw Li Yunshen and Lin Mengwu leaving hand in hand.
She couldn't help but frown. Why did she feel... The two of them were very unlike brother and sister. No matter how close they were, they couldn't hold hands so intimately. Others might not feel anything, but she had her own brother, and she knew it too well. The more brother and sister would not hold hands like this, it was disgusting.
Could it be that they... Were in a different relationship?
