Chapter 1292: Confused and Distressed

"Okay."

Wang Yong forced a smile onto his face, one that looked even worse than crying.

The Sheng Family.

Hahaha.

Hahahahahaha.

Hahahahahahahahahaha...

After hearing Wang Yong finish telling this blunder, Shi Youxuan laughed extremely arrogantly, without the slightest bit of concealment.

Wang Yong gave his sister-in-law a mournful look, dissatisfied: "That's too much. Even if you're happy, don't show it so obviously."

Shi Youxuan: "Sorry, I couldn't hold it in, hahahahaha..."

She still wanted to laugh.

Recently, quite a few frustrating things had happened, and now, using Wang Yong's embarrassing incident to have some fun felt very good.

"Mom, you really are going too far. Building your happiness on someone else's pain is immoral." Shi Ran had been watching from the side for a while; she also felt her mother was going too far, so she reminded her.

"Ahem."

Shi Youxuan stopped laughing and began to analyze things for Wang Yong in all seriousness.

"It's normal to have such a misunderstanding. Liu Min is a girl with a thick-skinned, carefree personality. She just suffered a heartbreak and doesn't want to touch love again, so she has erected a barrier in her heart."

"At the same time, she is full of guilt toward her father and has an infinite longing for family affection. Against this background, she would logically mistake the kindness you show her for family affection..."

When Shi Youxuan was serious, she was still very persuasive.

The words she spoke were also very logical; it was indeed exactly how things were.

Sheng Hanyu had not spoken the whole time, and his gaze had not left his wife's face either.

He had looked at this face for decades, yet he still couldn't get enough of it; perhaps he wouldn't get enough of it even in a lifetime?

His wife was completely correct; what she said was exactly what he was thinking!

But while he could think it, he couldn't say it. The couple's personalities complemented each other, a perfect match.

"Big Brother, I want to go back." Wang Yong said in a muffled voice.

"Go back where?" Sheng Hanyu asked, knowing the answer.

"Back to the country. Although it's good here, it's not as comfortable as staying in L Country. Min... I'll leave it to you all to help me take care of her for a while."

When it came down to it, he still couldn't let go of Liu Min.

Shi Ran objected: "No, Uncle, you cannot go back. Qi Heng hates you to the bone right now; he will definitely find a way to harm you. It's too dangerous for you to go back now."

Wang Yong said indifferently: "It's fine, he can't do anything to me. In L Country, I have much more seniority than him. If he dares to provoke me, I'll make it so he can't even remain president."

He wasn't bragging; if it really came down to a fight to the death, Qi Heng wouldn't necessarily have the upper hand in a duel with him.

If it weren't for Sheng Hanyu and his wife holding him back, he would have done it long ago.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Shi Ran asked her mom and dad to persuade him.

Sheng Hanyu and his wife didn't persuade him. Having been good friends for so many years, the couple knew where Wang Yong's weak spot was.

He glanced at his wife, and Shi Youxuan said: "Let's talk about whether to return to the country later. I feel that Liu Min doesn't necessarily dislike you."

Uh!

"Sister-in-law, don't comfort me. She likes me, she likes me like a father."

Every time he thought of what Liu Min said, Wang Yong felt bitter inside.

He lusted after a young girl, yet she respected him like a father, even wanting to provide for his old age and see him to his grave, wearing mourning clothes for him... Heh, what a marvelous irony!

Shi Youxuan:...

She realized she was wrong.

She should have been more direct instead of rationally analyzing the root of the problem.

Originally, what she wanted to express was—wait for Liu Min to walk out of this haze, then have Wang Yong confess to her and break through this layer of window paper.

Otherwise, the silly girl Liu Min would still be foolishly waiting to be Wang Yong's daughter.

She was direct this time: "It's not that there's no chance at all. Go back and confess to her. Don't feel embarrassed; say exactly what you're thinking. She will see your sincerity."

Wang Yong was still a bit hesitant: "If she rejects me, then I won't have any hope at all?"

Shi Youxuan: "Do you have hope now?"

Wang Yong:...

It seemed there was no difference.

He went back and mustered the courage to confess to Liu Min.

Liu Min opened her mouth wide, her eyes rounded, and she didn't speak for a long time.

"Fine, I know I'm not worthy, and you don't need to be put in a difficult position. I won't say such things to you a second time in the future; just treat it as if I passed gas."

Wang Yong went out, and Liu Min didn't keep him.

She was still stunned in place, not having reacted yet.

"Ring-ring—"

The phone rang for the eighth time before it pulled Liu Min back from her shock.

It was a call from Shi Ran.

Shi Ran's call came at just the right time; she was looking for someone to confide in, and Shi Ran was the most suitable person!

"Ranran, I want to see you, now, immediately, right away."

"Okay, shall I come find you?"

"No, I'll come find you. Are you at home?"

Shi Ran was about to agree, but she changed her mind: "No, not at your house. It's not convenient to talk with Yun Qitian at home; I only want to tell you."

Shi Ran: "How about Rumeng Teahouse?"

The teahouse's location is equidistant from both their homes, and the environment is quiet, suitable for discussing matters.

"Good."

When she arrived, Liu Min was already there.

"Ranran, I'm over here."

Shi Ran sat down and ordered a pot of Dongding Oolong, two plates of small snacks, four dishes of fruit, and two dishes of nuts.

Liu Min, who had been frantic on the phone, found herself speechless once they actually met.

She lowered her head, her ten fingers twisting together, twisting back and forth.

The tea, snacks, and melon seeds were all served.

Shi Ran, the curious bystander, asked a question she already knew the answer to: "What's wrong with you today? Did something happen?"

She nodded, then shook her head.

Without saying a word, her eyes were already red and glistening with tears.

"Ranran, my heart is so chaotic right now, I don't know how to say it..."

Liu Min had a fearless personality, always daring to love and hate, never dragging things out.

Yet this time, she was stuttering and acting very coy.

"Wang, Wang Yong, no, Uncle, that's not it either... it's still Wang Yong, he, how could he be like this?"

Shi Ran secretly found it amusing.

Liu Min did not know that her face was as red as a ripe shrimp, looking just like a young girl in the throes of first love.

"How is he? Uncle Wang is a very good person; he's been very good to me since I was little, but I see he's even better to you, more concerned about you than me." Shi Ran said this on purpose.

Liu Min stamped her feet in anxiety: "Oh my, you don't understand, he is good to you simply because he is good to you, but he is good to me... because, because, because..."

After "because"-ing for a long time, she still couldn't come up with a reason.

Shi Ran deliberately acted as if her curiosity was off the charts: "Because of what?"

"Tell me!"

"Because, because, because he said he likes me." She finally said it, only her face turned even redder.

Shy and timid.

Liu Min still did not know that she had already fallen in love.

Shi Ran: "Right, Uncle has always liked you; we all knew."

Liu Min:...

"You, you all actually knew?"

Shi Ran: "Exactly, anyone with eyes could see it; only you were silly enough not to notice."

Liu Min: "Ranran, what should I do? My heart is very chaotic right now, I can't think at all."
