Chapter 315 They like me because I'm good-looking~
If the two children really start dating, and she wants to go out and see them off, he certainly won't stop her.
But if they hadn't talked, he certainly wouldn't have asked his daughter to go out and see him off; his words just now were merely a test.
He understood immediately when his daughter answered like that.
She gestured with her chin towards the pastries: "He brought you these pastries, you can take them with you tomorrow. I don't eat these sweets."
Liang Liangwei didn't seem to care much: "Oh, I'll bring it to my assistant as a snack tomorrow."
Commander Liang: “…”
He looked at his daughter with a speechless expression.
Liang Liangwei ate her second strawberry: "Dad, why are you looking at me like that?"
Commander Liang said quietly, "Do you still remember what you said before you left last time?"
Liang Liangwei thought for a moment, then shook her head directly: "I forgot, what did I say?"
Commander Liang said, enunciating each word clearly, "You said you'd bring your boyfriend next time."
Liang Liangwei was stunned, and immediately sat up straight: "Did I say that?"
Commander Liang's expression darkened slightly: "I did say that, and Aunt Fang heard it too."
Liang Liangwei's mind raced for a moment before she realized, "Dad, you don't think that President Shen is the one I brought back..."
Commander Liang: "I've seen forgetful people, but I've never seen anyone as forgetful as you."
Liang Liangwei slapped her forehead and said, "Dad, Mr. Shen and I don't have that kind of relationship. We're just friends, nothing more."
Commander Liang: "And what about your boyfriend?"
Liang Liangwei had originally planned to tell Commander Liang about Yan Zhixu when she returned this time, but she didn't have the chance because Shen Zhengming was there. Now she could finally be honest with him.
She sat up straight and said, "I was just about to tell you that I have a boyfriend, but we've only been dating for about a month. Dad, do you think it's a bit too fast to meet the parents after only a month?"
Commander Liang looked suspicious: "A month? You're not using that as an excuse to keep me from seeing anyone, are you?"
Liang Liangwei tentatively said, "If you feel unhappy, then I'll discuss with him and arrange a time to meet with you?"
Commander Liang stared intently at his daughter across from him, trying to discern from her face whether she was lying. However, his daughter's cautious gaze revealed a wariness that suggested she wasn't trying to fool him.
He was silent for a moment before asking for confirmation: "Did you really talk about it?"
Liang Liangwei nodded hurriedly: "We really talked about it."
Commander Liang: "Where are you from? How old are you? What do you do?"
Liang Liangwei: "A native of Huacheng, 30 years old, a businesswoman."
Commander Liang: "How did you meet?"
Liang Liangwei: "We met through a friend."
One asked a question quickly, the other answered quickly, without any hesitation or delay.
Commander Liang frowned: "What do you like about him?"
Liang Liangwei blinked: "I like that he's handsome."
Commander Liang: "...What do you think he likes about you?"
Liang Liangwei cupped her cheeks in her hands: "You like me because I'm pretty~"
Commander Liang's eye twitched. This shamelessness...
He said unhappily, "Judging by looks alone, how superficial?"
Liang Liangwei: "You mean me? Hehe, didn't you say the same thing when you saw others doing it?"
Commander Liang was taken aback, then recalled that he had indeed said something similar when he arranged for his daughter to marry the grandson of the Fu family—[Besides his family background being a good match for you, the Fu family's son is also good-looking. What could you possibly be dissatisfied with?]
Commander Liang raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, unable to speak.
He sighed, somewhat helplessly, and said, "Since you're unwilling, I've said I won't mention it again."
Seeing the helpless look on her father's face, Liang Liangwei felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
Although Commander Liang had made things difficult for her regarding her marriage, it was ultimately for her own good. Without her mother as a bridge, communication between father and daughter was already quite strained. One was stubborn, and the other was even more stubborn, which forced them to create the unpleasant events of the past year or so.
Now that things have been discussed openly, the estrangement between father and daughter naturally disappears, and she feels a little soft-hearted.
She asked hesitantly, "Have you... made things clear with the Fu family?"
Commander Liang: "You said you were unwilling a year ago, and you've been away from home for more than half a year, losing contact with the Fu family. They know this too. We haven't had many opportunities to meet in the past six months. When we do meet, we just exchange greetings and don't discuss anything in detail. I'll find time to visit you in person and talk about this matter."
Liang Liangwei paused for a moment, then said softly, "I'm sorry, Dad."
Commander Liang softened his tone and said, "I was also at fault in this matter; I shouldn't have forced you."
Liang Liangwei took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Commander Liang say, "But, Xiao Shen seems to have feelings for you..."
Liang Liangwei hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "I know, he told me, but I refused."
Commander Liang glanced at the bag of pastries again, and Liang Liangwei followed suit.
She said, "I told him not to buy it, but he insisted on buying it anyway, and I've already told him I have a boyfriend."
Thinking of something, she added, "My boyfriend also asked me to go to his house with him next weekend. Dad, do you think I should go?"
Commander Liang stared at her: "You want to marry him?"
Liang Liangwei blushed slightly: "We've only been dating for a month, so of course we haven't thought about marriage yet. But if he proposed to me now, maybe I would..." immediately agree.
But she didn't say the last few words when she saw the look in her father's eyes.
Commander Liang scoffed, "Shameless."
Liang Liangwei: "If I hadn't left home, you would have already made me get married!"
Commander Liang: "How can that be the same? We know the Fu family inside and out..."
Liang Liangwei: "What do you know about my background? I have no feelings for Fu Yankai! But I do have feelings for my boyfriend. I like him, and he likes me too~"
Commander Liang said irritably, "Was it wrong to say you're shameless?"
Liang Liangwei: "..."
So, should I go to his house with him or not?
Commander Liang said defiantly, "Go! See what his family thinks. If they don't support you, then there's no point in talking!"
Liang Liangwei bit her lip, suppressing a laugh: "So you agree?"
Commander Liang glanced at her: "You won't go just because you don't agree?"
Liang Liangwei nodded firmly: "Of course! Dad's opinion is very important to me. I definitely won't go if you don't agree!"
Commander Liang knew immediately that she was just trying to comfort him, but he was still touched by her words, and his expression softened considerably.
"Go ahead, it's your first time visiting someone's home, remember to bring a gift."
Liang Liangwei smiled and said, "Yes, I know, but I don't know what to buy."
Commander Liang thought for a moment and said, "Ask your boyfriend for his opinion. He knows what his family likes. Discuss buying it with him. Don't skimp on the money. Now that your card is unfrozen, it will be more convenient to buy things."
Liang Liangwei felt a surge of tenderness in her heart: "Okay, sure."
After they talked things out, the father and daughter looked at each other, and the habitual confrontation in their eyes eased a lot.
Commander Liang's tone was also less stiff than before.
Commander Liang: "After visiting his home, we brought him back to see him as well."
Liang Liangwei responded softly, "Okay."
