"No rest."
"Isn't your body in pain?"
"Shen Yan, stop being so wishy-washy. If I can get out of bed the next day, then it proves that you can't."
"Hey, I have such a bad temper..." Xi.
047 He Fanxing: Once, the last time, tacit understanding
While Shen Yan was busy.
On the other side, He Fanxing dragged her tired body home: "Mom and Dad, I'm home."
Just then, a man wearing slippers walked over with a blank expression and whispered, "Sis, be careful. Mom and Dad are very angry about your refusal to go on blind dates."
"Don't blame me for not reminding you, be careful."
The speaker was He Canyang, He Fanxing's younger brother. After speaking, he walked away.
"..."
Upon hearing this, He Fanxing's lips twitched slightly. At the same time, she realized that her younger brother hadn't spoken nonsense after calling for so long without the two elders responding.
She quietly took off her high heels, slipped her small feet, encased in black stockings, into slippers, and walked lightly toward her room.
Her parents were angry, so how could she dare to be so arrogant?
We can't afford to mess with them, not at all.
"Ahem, Fanxing, you're back. Have a seat."
As soon as she entered the living room, she heard a cold and indifferent voice behind her. This voice acted like a switch, freezing her in place.
He Fanxing mechanically turned her head and saw her parents sitting on the sofa with serious expressions.
"hey-hey."
"Mom and Dad, you're home. I thought you weren't here."
With a slightly ingratiating smile, He Fanxing greeted them, then made an excuse: "Mom and Dad, I have a very important task to prepare for tomorrow, I'll go in now."
"Come and sit down."
"Let's have a good talk today."
Before He Fanxing could even take a step, she was interrupted by another spell, leaving her frozen in place with a helpless expression on her face.
In the end, he had no choice but to obediently turn around, sit on the sofa, and say with an awkward smile, "Mom and Dad, don't be so serious, I'm a little flustered."
"Panic? You know what panic is?"
Upon hearing He Fan's words about the "four-five-three" star, He's mother immediately put on a stern face and said, "Do you know how old you are now?"
"28 years, 2 months and 7 days old".
He Fanxing answered crisply.
Don't ask her why she knows so much; it's because every time there's an interrogation at home, there's this step, and over time it's become muscle memory.
"Oh my, there are even whole and odd amounts."
Mother He originally wanted to emphasize that she was 28 years old, but He Fanxing brought it up herself, so she had to change the subject: "Do you know, when your mother was your age..."
“When I was your age, I was already old enough to run errands, and Canyang had already been weaned.”
He Fanxing added again.
She'd heard those words so many times she was sick of them.
"you....."
"Hey, hey, don't be angry, don't be angry. Didn't we agree to have a good talk with our daughter today and find out what she's thinking?"
At this moment, He's father stopped He's mother, glanced at He Fanxing, and his eyes seemed to say, "You've gone too far. Don't you know how to restrain yourself?"
He Fanxing smiled and shrank back, not knowing how to respond.
After a while, He's father finally calmed down He's mother, and could only look at He Fanxing with a bitter face and a helpless expression: "Daughter, it's not that your parents are forcing you to get married, but that you're so old now, and your parents are worried about you."
"Your personal life has been unsettled for so long. If you get older in the future, it will be even harder for you to find someone."
"Sometimes, I really wish you were like your brother, a bit of a womanizer, as long as you find one person."
"Pfft."
Hearing this, He Fanxing chuckled. She hadn't expected her younger brother to be used as an example again. However, seeing her parents' serious expressions, she had no choice but to suppress her smile and sit up straight.
"Dad, please go on, I'm listening."
Seeing He Fanxing's nonchalant attitude, He's father sighed, pointed at her but couldn't say anything in the end, and could only ask in the end.
"I've found you a great blind date this time. He's returned from overseas and is supposedly a senior executive at a company."
"The other party was very satisfied with your photos and expressed a desire to learn more about you. How about it, should Dad reply for you?"
At this moment, He's father looked at He Fanxing with anticipation, like a big bad wolf.
"No, no need!"
"I've never even seen him. Why should he see me just because he thinks I'm nice? I'm not a commodity for him to choose from."
He Fanxing finds this kind of man the most repulsive.
What satisfaction? He wants to know more about her, but it's just because she's good-looking. Another guy who gets lustful at first sight.
They are far inferior to Chairman Shen.
Mr. Shen said I was incredibly beautiful, but he only looked at me with admiring eyes, unlike other men.
Haha, wishful thinking.
"Forehead....."
Seeing her resistance, He's father didn't know what to say. In fact, they loved He Fanxing very much in their family.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have waited until He Fanxing was 28 to start arranging blind dates for her.
After a moment of contemplation, Mr. He said, "What you say makes some sense. How come he keeps picking and choosing my daughter?"
"It's fine if you like it now, but if you don't, you won't see it? That's just turning the world upside down. You're right, Dad made a mistake in his arrangements this time. Next time, I'll give you something better and let you choose."
???
This sudden change in attitude shocked He Canyang, who was watching from the back. He stood there dumbfounded, staring at his parents' infamous double standards.
no? !
Mom and Dad, you didn't say this before my sister came back. You even said you'd make her go even if you had to force her. How come you voted for her as soon as she resisted?!
Where is your backbone?
What about the suppression of parental bloodline?
They used it all on me, didn't they?
"call."
He Fanxing breathed a long sigh of relief when she saw that her father was no longer dwelling on the matter. In her opinion, as long as he stopped worrying about it, that was enough.
He immediately tried to slip away: "Mom and Dad, I really have something to do, so I'll go back to my room first. I have some very important work to discuss tomorrow."
"and many more!"
Seeing that she was about to leave, He's father quickly called her back. He Fanxing looked at her father in confusion and said, "Dad, didn't we say that this matter is over?"
"It's a new chapter."
Mr. He nodded, then took out a pen and paper from who-knows-where: "Tell me your requirements, and your parents will look for someone according to your standards."
"My standards?!"
Upon hearing this, He Fanxing rolled her eyes. She was about to say something when Shen Yan's image appeared in her mind.
His every move, his self-care, and his domineering presence in meetings.
The more he thought about He Fanxing, the faster his heart beat and the more excited he became.
She knew that she had developed feelings for Shen Yan, and quite strong ones at that.
She blushed and said, "Mom and Dad, I'll go back to my room first. I'll tell you what I need later."
"Da da da!"
He immediately ran back into the house.
"Daughter, wait a minute..."
Mr. He got up to call out to He Fanxing, but Mrs. He immediately grabbed her: "What are you doing? What are you doing? Can't you see how our daughter looks?"
"Huh? What does it look like?"
Mr. He looked at Mrs. He with a puzzled expression, only to see her look at him with disdain and say, "You say you care about your daughter, but can't you see that? Didn't you just ask your daughter to tell you her standards?"
“Yes, I asked her to talk, but she didn’t.” Mr. He shrugged.
Mother He pursed her lips, thinking to herself how she could have married such a scoundrel in the first place. She had no choice but to explain, "You asked our daughter to think about her standards, she thought about it, and then she blushed. What does that mean?"
"Huh? Now that you mention it..."
Mr. He's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood: "You mean, our daughter has found someone she likes?"
Mother He simply glanced at him and let out a long sigh: "Finally, you understand."
"Hey, if you see someone you like, just say so. Why are you hiding it from us?"
"Get lost, your daughter has her own pace, it's none of your business to worry about her."
"You're talking about me, but aren't you worried about it too?"
"Get out of here and sleep on the sofa tonight!"
"what?"
He Fanxing was unaware of the elderly couple's bickering. After returning to her room, she touched her burning cheeks, trying to cool herself down.
But her cheeks grew hotter and hotter: "He Fanxing, wake up, wake up... don't think about these things."
