Chapter 132

Yuna's father glanced at her indifferently, ignoring her.

Yuna's mother smiled and took up the conversation, "Didn't you hear? This is the first time your daughter has praised you."

Yuna's father disdainfully said, "Think about it, would she say anything truthful at a time like this?"

Yu Na lowered her head, "What I said is true."

Aside from his overbearing personality, there was nothing wrong with his appearance. Standing together with his wife, he was the epitome of the male and female leads in an old-fashioned domineering CEO novel.

Just then, Xiao Chen sent Yu Na a WeChat message—

C: [My parents and I are already in the restaurant's private room]

N: [I know]

After changing into fresh clothes, Yuna's father was invigorated.

Seeing Yu Na secretly sending messages, he asked, "Have his parents arrived?"

Yu Na nodded, "Yes, when should we go?"

Yuna's father looked at the time, then sat back down on the sofa leisurely, "Let's wait 20 minutes."

Before Yu Na could respond, Yuna's mother was the first to retort, "Alright, let's go downstairs once we're ready. Why do we need to wait 20 minutes?"

Yuna's father said, "Marrying off my daughter, and I'm rushing to do it?"

He straightened his clothes and added, "If I don't assert myself to give her more confidence, are you not worried she'll be bullied in the future?"

After careful consideration, Yuna's mother replied, "You make sense."

Sitting next to her father, upon hearing this, Yu Na couldn't help but cling to his arm and lean on his shoulder, "Thank you, Dad."

Yuna's father remained expressionless, "Get off."

Yu Na: "..."

She moved to sit next to her mother, speaking sweetly, "Then, thank you, Mom."

Yuna's mother gently stroked her hair, "Oh you, after all these years of clashing with your father, and now that you're getting married, your father isn't stopping you either. Can't you two reconcile?"

Yu Na said, "...I'll listen to Dad."

Yuna's father sat there with his eyes closed, resting, not answering.

Seeing this, Yuna's mother whispered, "Your father acting this way means he wants to reconcile with you."

Yuna's father suddenly interjected, "I don't."

Yu Na shrugged.

As long as her father stopped sending people to monitor her, she was more than happy to get along well with him.

The hotel guests today consisted of only the rich and powerful, including their family of three.

Glancing at the time, Yuna's father promptly got up after 20 minutes, telling Yu Na to bring the gifts, and they went downstairs together to the hotel's Chinese restaurant.

Yu Na spent the entire afternoon with her parents. That afternoon, staff delivered several evening gowns for her to choose from. She selected a silver sequined V-neck floor-length dress.

Her sleek black hair hung loosely down her back in soft waves.

The makeup artist gave her a fresh, elegant look and helped her put on carefully matched jewelry.

There was a red carpet segment at the gala that Yu Na skipped.

However, her parents walked the red carpet per protocol and took interviews.

The gala hall was extravagantly decorated, down to the chandeliers and wine glasses.

It was filled with lively chatter and the crisp clinking of champagne flutes as successful people from all walks of life mingled. This was also a prime opportunity for networking.

Seated together, their families even won bids on two highly valuable collectibles during the auction portion of the event.

Once the auction ended, Yu Na stood together with Xiao Chen, wine glass in hand.

Surrounded by glamorous celebrities, the two still stood out elegantly.

With their relationship finally approved by both sets of parents, Xiao Chen was in an excellent mood. Holding a wine glass in one hand, he put his other arm around Yu Na's waist.

Their glasses clinked lightly as they each took a small sip.

"Na Na," with the crowds, Xiao Chen leaned in to whisper in her ear, "You're so different now compared to how you normally are at school."

Having had quite a bit to drink, Yu Na was slightly tipsy. Setting her glass down, she draped an arm over Xiao Chen's shoulder, a faint blush rising to her cheeks, "So which me do you like more?"

"I like both," Xiao Chen said, pulling her into his embrace. "Really, I like everything about you."

"Xiao Chen..." Yu Na weakly slumped against his shoulder, whispering in his ear, "I've attended many galas before, but today is the happiest one for me."

She was with the person she loved most, and had received her parents' approval. Most importantly, without the endless surveillance, she no longer had to be vigilant towards suspicious people around her at all times.

Nothing could be better than this.

Yu Na and Xiao Chen spent the latter half of the evening glued together, whispering intimately, clinking glasses, embracing, smiling at each other, with deep affection in their gazes.

Standing amidst the crowds in the magnificent hall, they effortlessly became the most dazzling presence.

The charity gala was a huge hit, with photos continuously uploaded online.

Among the celebrity photos were many candid shots of Xiao Chen and Yu Na—all taken by roaming photographers.

There were photos of Yu Na leaning on Xiao Chen's shoulder, whispering to him.

Photos of Xiao Chen's arm around Yu Na's waist.

Photos of Yu Na covering her mouth giggling as they talked.

That very night, these photos spread like wildfire through various school chat groups and campus websites.

Even the school's phone ban didn't hinder such viral transmission. And thus, Yu Na became the talk of the school.

Before long, the photos reached Principal Qin.

Principal Qin was just sipping from his thermos when he saw the photos, eyes nearly bulging out in shock.
