Chapter 917: Chapter 917: Meeting You Was Different Than Expected
Lin Teng laughed heartily, “Then I was just curious and answered you casually.”
Su Yi couldn’t beat him or scold him, and had no way to deal with him, so she pretended to ignore him. Su Xiansui timely interjected, “Uncle, could you please open your eyes and look at me? I’m a living person standing right here, but you act as if I don’t exist and just flaunt your love. Spare a thought for the single folks; care for mental health.”
Lin Teng really liked this little niece and said with a smile, “Isn’t your aunt trying to find you a suitable match? Tell me, with so many boys in Capital City, you don’t fancy any of them?”
Su Xiansui, always sweet-talking, replied, “Having seen someone like you, Uncle, how could I settle for those greenhorns? If I’m to choose, I want someone just like you!”
“Then you’ll have to find someone from the military. I’ll keep an eye out in the army to see who might be suitable.”
Su Yi gave Su Xiansui a look and pulled him away, “Don’t listen to that girl talking nonsense. She probably has someone she likes, but she won’t tell me about it and keeps giving me all kinds of evasive answers. Let’s just forget about it. Everyone has their own fate; when she hits the wall, she will turn back on her own. We can think of something to help her then.”
Su Xiansui stuck out her tongue and retorted reluctantly, “Auntie, can’t you wish for something good for me? What do you mean, ‘wait until I hit the wall then help me’? It sounds like you’re certain I’ll hit the wall.”
Su Yi remained calm and composed, “Otherwise? If you could win over that boy, would you still be single? Your continued singlehood only shows that it’s unrequited love. More often than not, these affairs only end with someone getting hurt.”
Su Xiansui was left speechless.
She indeed had unrequited love, and that person didn’t even know she liked him.
She also dared not confess.
She feared that after confessing, they couldn’t even remain friends.
She could only shrink back to her assigned safe zone and watch him from a distance, thankfully he didn’t have a girlfriend now, or else she didn’t know how much more heartbroken she would be.
The area around them was filled with guests waiting to exchange pleasantries with Lin Teng, and it wasn’t appropriate for him to continue the conversation with Su Yi and the rest.
He patted Su Yi on the shoulder and said, “Alright, you were just saying that everyone has their own fate, then you started talking about Xiansui again and look, you’ve made her so downcast.”
Su Yi said, “I was just speaking my mind, it’s just that I’m worried she’d be deceived by someone.”
“She’s grown enough; who could deceive her? You really shouldn’t worry so much,” Lin Teng thought for a moment and continued, “The same goes for Shengxiao’s girlfriend. Since he likes her, we should support him. And regarding the girl’s family background and such, we shouldn’t be like Dad, taking it too seriously and possibly affecting the relationship with Shengxiao.”
“I understand what you’re saying, but that girl…” Su Yi sighed.
Lin Teng, rarely seeing his wife like this, became curious, “What about that girl? Why do you dislike her so much?”
“Have you met her before?”
Su Yi didn’t know how to explain, “Kind of met her, kind of not. The way I met her isn’t quite what you think.”
She had seen her on the news. Lin Teng meant formally meeting in person.
With her vague answer, Lin Teng was even more confused, “Now you’ve made me even more curious. Who is this girl, do I know her?”
“You probably don’t know her.”
He was in the foreign war zone, where the material conditions were poor and there were many things to handle; he certainly didn’t have time to follow domestic entertainment gossip.
