Chapter 304: Her Family

She seemed to know why the Third Master liked her. This was how girls should be. They had to have self-restraint and a backbone but could not take the initiative to stand out. If a man really loved a girl and cared about her feelings, he would definitely protect her.
The main theme of the hotpot restaurant was extreme spiciness and numbness. There was no twin pot, only a nine-box grid. When the soup boiled, it gave off a spicy feeling.
Su Yan looked at Ling Sheng and asked with a smile, “Ms. Ling, are you planning to wear a mask and eat hotpot?”
Only then did Ling Sheng remember that she had yet to remove her mask. She smiled apologetically and removed her mask. “I would have forgotten if you had not mentioned it, Ms. Su.”
Upon seeing the girl remove her mask and reveal her innocent and beautiful face, Su Yan was stunned. She had not expected the young lady in front of her to be Ling Sheng.
She could not help but sigh in her heart. No wonder this young lady was so sensible and cultured. It’s always someone from another family!
This was a huge misunderstanding. Her family did not even care about her anymore, but she had returned to China to attend a family gathering.
The night before, her father had called her and ordered her to come back. Her aunt’s granddaughter wanted to bring her son to meet the family. This was their first meeting, so they had to be prim and proper.
She had seen her photo long ago, but the person in the photo had not looked as pretty or smart as she did in real life.
She did not know why her cousin had gotten lucky enough to have such a cute and pretty daughter appear out of nowhere. This made her envious.
Ling Sheng naturally did not know what she was thinking. She only sensed that after she removed her mask, the way she looked at her changed. Her initial look, when she had sized her up and tested her, had become a complicated look that an elder would give a junior.
“Third Master, don’t you think you’re much older than Sheng Sheng? Is it difficult for the two of you to get along?” Su Yan felt that, the age gap aside, the Third Master had barely been worthy of Sheng Sheng in the past.
After all, he was a man her young and ignorant self had fallen in love with and had been unable to forget for many years. Although he had some advantages, he… Given his present state, how could he be the bane of their precious baby? That would not do. Should she stop them immediately?
After she said that, Ling Sheng gave her a dumbfounded look. What was going on? Why did she feel so strange? The pretty sister in front of her was looking at her strangely.
“Age is not an issue for people who love each other.” Jun Shiyan’s smile was polite and distant as he added, “According to what I know, Mr. Huo is 15 years older than Mrs. Huo, yet the two of them are loving even in their old age. It really makes one envious.”
Su Yan thought, You’re right. I can’t refute this, but you’re being a bane for other girls. I wouldn’t stand it if your target was my daughter. She went on to say, “Age is not an issue then. What about your body?”
“I’ll take good care of my body and make sure I live a long life. You don’t have to worry about that, Ms. Su.” Jun Shiyan looked at Ling Sheng. “Do you think my body is an inconvenience?”
Ling Sheng shook her head, not knowing why the other woman had suddenly become so considerate on her behalf and started making things difficult for the Third Master. “Ms. Su, thank you for your concern. There’s nothing wrong with the Third Master’s health.”
Even if there was a problem, she would help him recuperate. There would definitely not be a problem.
“Sheng Sheng, what does your family think about you dating the Third Master? Do they all agree?” Su Yan sighed internally.
