The Aftermath of Having Slept with the Villain

World Six. Stepmother’s son (25)

Xue Wangui didn’t know what Xue Xue was thinking, but after a moment of contemplation, he asked lightly. “So, that’s why you asked me to invest in ‘Parallel Universe’?”

“Well, but my feelings for him at that time were only close to worship and admiration. Dad can’t deny it, he is really good.” After her heart settled down, Xue Xue’s tone was much lighter. “I heard the news from Wenya at that time. I knew that Dr. Jiang had returned to work in China, but the team might not be able to continue the experiments because of the funding problem, so I felt very sorry and didn’t think too much about it.”

Wenya was Xue Mi’s best friend who she accompanied in the space engineering classes.

“It was because of this matter that I gradually got in touch with him and found that Dr. Jiang is not only worthy of respect in the professional field, that’s why…” Xue Xue blushed. “I was moved.”

“Uh…you two have only known each other for a long time, haven’t you?”

“Yeah, but is there any problem with this?” Xue Xue blinked her eyes pretending to be ignorant. “The ancient people also married blindly. Even Dad, you and my mother got married not long after a blind date?”

Hearing Xue Xue mentioning his deceased wife, Xue Wangui’s face suddenly became very unnatural.

“What nonsense are you talking about again? Can you be the same as your mother?”

“I was just giving an example.” She shook Xue Wangui’s arm, and seemed to be a naive child in front of her father. “The first time I saw Jiang Pingyang, I had a strong feeling in my heart that it was him, it was him.”

“But because of my previous feelings for Brother An Yang…cough, I took some time to confirm my feelings, so I’m sure I won’t be wrong this time.”

“I like Jiang Pingyang very much, Dad, even when I liked Brother An Yang at that time, I didn’t have such a clear grasp of my emotions, but now I am sure that I want to marry Jiang Ping Yang, he will be my only choice for a husband.”

Seeing that Xue Xue’s tone was firm when Jiang Pingyang was mentioned, and the phoenix eyes that looked like his deceased wife seemed to be embedded with countless broken diamonds, Xue Wangui’s heart skipped a beat and he couldn’t say anything.

Jiang Pingyang was indeed a very good young man, which Xue Wangui cannot deny.

But even if he appreciated him, once the identity changed, Xue Wangui’s perspective would naturally be different.

“Dad …… you just say yes.” Xue Xue begged in a soft voice. “At least let us try to date, and Dad can supervise.”

“You…you were already together at that dinner?”

Xue Xue shook Xue Wangui’s arm again at the mentioned of it.

Seeing her guilty appearance, what else did Xue Wangui not understand?

“No wonder you’ve been secretly staring at people while eating.”

“…… I did not!”

“No?”

“…Not all the time.” In her father’s eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, Xue Xue admitted embarrassedly . “I just secretly looked at it for a while, really, just a while.”

After the words were finished, she added another sentence. “Who made him look so good-looking.”

Hearing his daughter’s childish words, Xue Wangui shook his head, but when he took a closer look, he noticed the joy and shyness in the corners of her eyes and brows, Xue Wangui was stunned.

He rarely saw his daughter like this, especially in the long period of time when she liked Jiang Anyang.

To a certain extent, Jiang Anyang could be regarded as the child Xue Wangui watched grow up. Later, he married Ding Rou into the Xue family. He knew the roots. Although there were some unpleasant things, but generally speaking, compared to the men outside, Xue Wangui still trusted him more.

At that time, when the stepmother becomes the mother-in-law, Xue Wangui would not have to worry that his daughter would be put in a difficult position by her mother-in-law.

Although Ding Rou always said that she respected her son’s opinion, Jiang Anyang also repeatedly stated that he only had familial affection and no love for Xue Mi, but in Xue Wangui’s view, love could never be eaten as food, which meant that Jiang Anyang was still young and did not understand this reality.

If Xue Mi still insisted on being with Jiang Anyang, Xue Wangui has the means to get Jiang Anyang to agree to the marriage.

However, he did not want his daughter to go this farbecause a melon twisted by force is not sweet, and a flower picked by force does not smell good, and he could not protect his daughter for the rest of her life. If Jiang Anyang felt resentful because of it in the future, it would be bad.

[T/N: 強扭的瓜不甜 (qiǎngniǔdeguābùtián): lit. if you have to use force to break a melon off the vine, it won’t taste sweet (because it’s only when the melon is ripe that it can be removed with just a slight twist) (idiom) / fig. if sth is not meant to be, it’s no use trying to force it to happen]

For this reason, Xue Wangui was also quite troubled.

Especially since Jiang Anyang brought Chen Linlin home, Xue Mi’s mental state was so bad for a while that Xue Wangui was alarmed.

It didn’t take long for the two to “break up” again. Xue Wangui started to investigate and found that things were not that simple. However, Xue Mi fell in again as if she had found hope. Again, there was nothing to be done, and he could only wait and see how things develop in anger and helplessness.

As a father, Xue Wangui was heartbroken and troubled.

Unexpectedly, the twists and turns have turned, and now his daughter actually told him that she fell in love with Jiang Pingyang.

Jiang Anyang has an older brother who shares the same father and mother but is not close.

Seeing that Xue Wangui didn’t speak for a long time, Xue Xue lowered her eyes and muttered nervously. “Dad…”

Xue Wangui came back to his senses.

“Mi Mi.” He called his daughter’s nickname, which meant a lot. “If Dad doesn’t agree, what are you going to do?”

Hearing this, Xue Xue raised her head abruptly.

“Dad…”

“Dad is talking to you about something serious.” Xue Wangui, who was rarely shaken by his daughter’s coquettish behavior, placed his hand on the desk. “Think about it before answering me. If I don’t plan to agree to your relationship with Jiang Pingyang, what will you do?”

Xue Xue knew that Xue Wangui was testing her.

She decided to follow her heart.

“I won’t break up with him because of this.” Xue Xue calmly met Xue Wangui’s gaze. “We will still be together, and time will prove it to you.”

“If one day Jiang Pingyang and I break up, it must be because we are not suitable, not because dad disagree.”

The sonorous and powerful tone symbolized Xue Xue’s determination.

Xue Wangui looked at his daughter for a long time, and then his lips gradually raised to the sides.

“It seems that what Dad felt during this time was real.” Xue Wangui reached out and patted Xue Xue on the shoulder. “Our Mi Mi has really grown up.”

Xue Xue looked at Xue Wangui, Xue Mi’s father.

Although the man was still energetic and handsome, the gray hair on his temples revealed the fact that he was no longer young.

Time is not forgiving, one is growing up and the other is getting old.

But Xue Wangui’s eyes when looking at his daughter were always so kind and warm, like the endless sea, which could accommodate all.

“Dad agrees to you dating.” Xue Wangui said warmly. “I believe that Mi Mi will be able to achieve happiness.”

The warmth between father and daughter fell on the woman who had quietly closed the door behind her like a needle sticking in her heart, stabbing and hurting.

She never dreamed that Xue Mi would get together with Jiang Pingyang.

When her son told her that Xue Mi seemed to have found someone new, Ding Rou didn’t care.

She had seen Xue Mi’s feelings for her son for so many years. Women were just like men. When a relationship becomes an obsession, can it be put down in a few words? Ding Rou was confident that it wouldn’t take long for Xue Mi to come back to her son.

However, Ding Rou never expected that the object Xue Mi was looking for was Jiang Pingyang.

The child who almost cost her life at birth.

Ding Rou will never forget the day when her husband left her for work again, and the medical staff around her came and went, but she seemed to be cut off from the world and could only endure the pain of tearing her lower body alone.

On that day, Ding Rou stared at the scattered and blurred light and shadow in front of her, gritted her teeth, and swore an oath in her heart.

She wouldn’t accept this fact.

Thinking of the past Ding Rou’s eyes turned red.

She must stop this.
