Chapter 1056 - I Know It's Not Good, But I Won't Change Myself

Xiao Guoshan stood aside and did not miss Xiao Yunyun’s look at Shen Yuechuan.

As a father, he was really green with envy.

His daughter, who he had brought up, was always afraid to leave him every day when she was a child. Now, after falling in love with a man, she even asked that man for his opinion when she went out with her father.

He could understand that Xiao Yunyun was just worried about Shen Yuechuan.

But in his memories, his daughter had always been more independent than she was now.

Xiao Yunyun immediately received a hint from Shen Yuechuan. She nodded at Xiao Guoshan and said, “Dad, let’s take a walk.”

But she was still worried about Shen Yuechuan. After she spoke, she kept looking back at Shen Yuechuan.

Although Luo Xiaoxi was not as observant as Su Jian’an, Xiao Yunyun’s action was so obvious that she could not ignore it.

She could totally understand her mood as Xiao Guoshan did. She smiled helplessly, but more than that, she felt sorry for her.

In fact, Xiao Yunyun was not yet 25 years old.

Xiao Yunyun, at this age, should be indulging herself in love and enjoying the joys of love without any worries.

However, because of Shen Yuechuan’s illness, Xiao Yunyun could not indulge herself in love, nor could she be at ease.

For no one could be sure when Shen Yuechuan’s condition would worsen and he would have to be sent back to the hospital.

Xiao Yunyun could only be as careful as she was now.

Luo Xiaoxi gave Xiao Yunyun a reassuring look and said, “Your cousin and I will send Yuechuan back. You can set your mind at ease and take a walk with Mr. Xiao .”

Xiao Yunyun finally smiled slightly. She nodded, took Xiao Guoshan’s hand, and motioned for him to leave.

Xiao Guoshan turned around and waved at the others behind him. “Thank you. See you tomorrow.”

Su Yicheng instantly understood what Xiao Guoshan meant. He smiled and replied, “See you tomorrow.”

After Xiao Guoshan and Xiao Yunyun left, Su Yunjin also left, leaving Su Yicheng, Luo Xiaoxi, and Shen Yuechuan in the private room.

Shen Yuechuan was obviously tired after the meal. As soon as the three of them left, he sat down and heaved a long sigh of relief.

Luo Xiaoxi still looked energetic. Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, took out her mobile phone and typed while saying, “I’ll send a message to Yunyun and ask her to get an answer to my question.”

Su Yicheng looked intently at Luo Xiaoxi and said, “I also want to know the answer.”

Luo Xiaoxi met Su Yicheng’s eyes and winked. Their smiles showed their tacit understanding.

Looking at the affectionate couple who had such a tacit understanding of each other, Shen Yuechuan felt helpless.

However, even if he did not have any tacit understanding with them, he could guess what Luo Xiaoxi’s question was.

Today, everyone thought that Xiao Guoshan would subject him to a test.

He had the same thought that Xiao Guoshan loved his daughter as much as he loved his life. He would definitely not let him marry Xiao Yunyun so easily.

However, during the dinner just now, Xiao Guoshan’s attitude toward him was very cordial and he did not make things difficult for him, let alone test him.

Shen Yuechuan suddenly had a bad feeling. He could not help wondering if Xiao Guoshan would pose a big challenge for him later.

Luo Xiaoxi had the same question. She clicked on the “send” key, then shook her mobile phone and said, “I told Yunyun to ask Mr. Xiao if Yuechuan has passed the test or if he will pose a big challenge for Yuechuan later!”

Su Yicheng reached out and held Luo Xiaoxi in his arms. “Do you expect the former or the latter?”

“On humanitarian grounds, I hope it’s the former so that Yuechuan will suffer less.” Luo Xiaoxi paused and then added in a different tone, “But in fact, I expect to see Yuechuan suffer.”

Shen Yuechuan leaned backward with a “goodbye” look on his face and said, “Should I consider breaking off my friendship with you?”

Luo Xiaoxi said with a smile, “You can consider it, but I have bad news for you that after tomorrow, you have to call us Cousin and Cousin-in-law as Yunyun does. Although we are no longer your friends, we are going to be your relatives!”

“After breaking off our friendship, we will become relatives.”

Shen Yuechuan felt that it was the saddest joke in the world.

Luo Xiaoxi looked at Shen Yuechuan who did not know whether to laugh or cry and smiled gloatingly, “Well, let’s go back first. We should be able to receive a reply from Yunyun in the afternoon.”

Shen Yuechuan got up leisurely and walked out calmly.

In fact, he was more nervous than anyone else.

The dinner went so smoothly. Most likely, he had not passed Xiao Guoshan’s test. Instead, Xiao Guoshan did not intend to test him now.

Actually, Shen Yuechuan was not really worried about Xiao Guoshan’s means of testing him.

What he was really worried about was that after the test, Xiao Guoshan might think that he did not have the ability to take good care of Xiao Yunyun.

Xiao Yunyun had a good relationship with Xiao Guoshan. He did not want Xiao Guoshan to be disappointed with him…

When the three of them walked out of the hotel, the car just arrived.

Shen Yuechuan sat in the passenger seat, while Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi sat behind.

As soon as Su Yicheng sat down, he noticed how worried Shen Yuechuan seemed. He thought for a moment and said, “Don’t worry. In fact, you have already won.”

Shen Yuechuan’s brain still functioned well, but this time, he really did not understand. He looked at Su Yicheng in confusion. “When did I win?”

Su Yicheng had a mysterious look for a moment and then slowly said, “You won the moment Yunyun fell in love with you.” After a pause, he continued, “Don’t make it known to others. This is my secret experience.”

Shen Yuechuan thought for a moment and soon understood what Su Yicheng meant.

Su Yicheng was hinting that even if he did not pass Xiao Guoshan’s test, Xiao Yunyun would become his wife tomorrow and accompany him for the rest of their lives.

Xiao Guoshan’s opposition was useless now.

From this point of view, he had indeed… won a long time ago.

However, Su Yicheng’s words should not be made known to others.

Su Yicheng had already had to answer for the consequences of making it known to others.

After hearing Su Yicheng’s words, Luo Xiaoxi leaned over and looked at Su Yicheng with her chin cupped in one of her hands.

After a while, Luo Xiaoxi said slowly, “I finally know why you could accompany my parents so calmly when I was traveling abroad.”

“…” Su Yicheng did not respond.

Luo Xiaoxi took it as Su Yicheng’s acquiescence to her words and deliberately provoked him. “Believe it or not, I will tell Lao Luo what you said.”

Su Yicheng looked at Luo Xiaoxi and then at her belly. He kissed her lips and comforted her. “You’d better behave yourself. Anyway… it’s too late.”

Luo Xiaoxi did not know how to refute it.

Yes, she and Su Yicheng were already married, and she was even pregnant with his child. Her parents could not wait to greet their grandkid. It was really too late for her to complain to Lao Luo about Su Yicheng.

Luo Xiaoxi shook her head and could not help complaining, “Su Yicheng, you are really too… cunning.”

Su Yicheng gazed affectionately at her and said, “Xiaoxi, I had to do that. When you were traveling abroad, I couldn’t get in touch with you. I thought… you had decided to give up on me.”

“…” Luo Xiaoxi’s expression softened in an instant. She looked at Su Yicheng for a moment and said frankly, “Well, I have to admit that during my travel abroad, I would occasionally… think of you.”

Such an answer was enough to please Su Yicheng.

Su Yicheng’s expression softened gradually and the affection in his eyes was almost overflowing.

Seeing this, Shen Yuechuan finally understood how Song Jiqing felt when he saw him and Xiao Yunyun embracing in the cold wind.

What was different was that he was more ruthless than Song Jiqing.

Shen Yuechuan directly flipped the switch, and then the partition between the front and back seats slid down, separating the space into two compartments. As the saying went, out of sight, out of mind.

The driver caught a glimpse of Shen Yuechuan’s expression and said with a smile, “Special Assistant Shen, you know, I’m used to it!”

Shen Yuechuan’s mouth gaped slightly, but he did not say anything more.

He looked out of the window and silently thought that he did not need to get used to it.

He would also do something that would make all the singles feel uncomfortable.

He knew that he should not do that, but that was something he would not change.

Now, he wanted to know if Yunyun had asked her father the question that Luo Xiaoxi had sent to her.

Xiao Guoshan and Xiao Yunyun were now taking a walk by the river.

The river flowed through City A from south to north, dividing the city into two parts. Many stories in City A happened on both sides of the river.

Xiao Guoshan stood by the railing and glanced at the river view within his sight. He smiled and said, “City A has changed a lot. It has been changing constantly.”

Xiao Yunyun leaned against the railing and looked languidly at the whole city, saying, “It looks the same as it did when I came to City A. I don’t know what it looked like 20 years ago.”

Xiao Guoshan smiled and said, “You didn’t live in that era, so you don’t need to know what it looked like then.”

Xiao Yunyun thought about it and agreed that her father’s words made sense.

Time was moving on. Each era had its good and bad points.

She was living in a relatively good era, so she did not really want to reminisce about an old era.

Xiao Yunyun did not speak. She remembered Luo Xiaoxi’s text message.

In fact, not only Luo Xiaoxi but she was also very curious if Shen Yuechuan had passed her father’s test.

After all, Xiao Yunyun was raised by Xiao Guoshan. He could tell at a glance that Xiao Yunyun had something on her mind. He said, “If you have any questions, just ask.”

Xiao Yunyun looked at Xiao Guoshan quizzically as if she were granted a special pardon. “Dad, I’m very curious if Yuechuan passed your test. You clearly said that you would test him, but why didn’t you do anything later?”

“I guessed that would be your question.” Xiao Guoshan smiled and looked across the river. “I’ll think about how to answer you.”

Xiao Yunyun was shocked and almost jumped up. “Dad, haven’t you tested Yuechuan yet?”

“…” Xiao Guoshan did not speak.

Xiao Yunyun almost went crazy. “Dad, say something!”
