Chapter 1921: 1921

When the time came for the relatives to leave, Shen Zhilie got up to send them off . After seeing everyone out the door, Ye Zhenhua boiled more water and got to work brewing another pot of tea . He saw Shen Zhilie come in and waved him over .

“Yes, Uncle?” he asked .

Shen Zhilie sat down and started packing up the cups and plates that the guests had just used .

“Shen,” Ye Zhenhua began as he brewed the tea, “to be honest, I always believed that you would marry my daughter . To me, it was always just a matter of time . ”

This was how Shen Zhilie felt, too, and when he heard Ye Zhenhua say this, he looked at him somberly and said, “Uncle, I think you are very wise . I will definitely act responsibly toward Qianqian . ”

Ever since he got together with Ye Qianqian, he had gotten not only her first time, but her whole lifetime . Being responsible for her was like being responsible for himself .

Ye Zhenhua laughed and said, “I love talking to you . You’re especially good at sucking up . ”

Shen Zhilie smiled in embarrassment .

“There are times when Qianqian can be a little willful and immature,” Ye Zhenhua continued . “As a man, you’ll have to be forgiving . ” He took a sip of tea . “Qianqian grew up without a mother . In the future, when you have your own children, I’m worried that she might not be able to be a good mother . She’ll have to rely on you to teach her . ”

Shen Zhilie blinked . In other words… he had to be a mother? Ahem…

“But I can rest assured with Ye Qianqian married to you . You’re a responsible and mature fella . But there is one thing that I need to warn you about . ” Ye Zhenhua’s face became serious . “Should a day come when you fall for another woman, you must let one of us know . It can be Qianqian or me . Should a day come when you no longer feel anything for Qianqian, and no longer want to be with her, you must say so right away . I won’t make you stay with Qianqian, and Qianqian won’t cling on to you . ”

Shen Zhilie’s heart skipped a beat . He knew that well! Ye Qianqian was on good terms with him now, but if there ever came a day where she had to make up her mind about something, there would be no turning back with her .

It wasn’t as if Shen Zhilie had never experienced that side of her . He definitely wasn’t willing to go through that sort of heartbreak and despair a second time .

“Have I made myself clear?”

Shen Zhilie nodded his head gravely . “Yes . I will definitely treat Qianqian well . Don’t worry . ”

“Hmph . ” The expression on Ye Zhenhua’s face finally lightened a little, and he said, “I hope you will remember what you promised me today . If I ever find out that you did anything to let Qianqian down, I will fly to the capital and blow your head off . ”

Shen Zhilie was tickled by his words .

Ye Zhenhua looked Shen Zhilie in the eye and admonished, “I’m not joking . I mean it when I say I’ll blow your head off . ”

Shen Zhilie immediately sobered up and replied, “Understood!”

Shen Zhilie was by nature obedient and well-behaved . He spent a little more time chatting with Ye Zhenhua .

When he returned to Ye Qianqian’s room, he found Ye Qianqian fast asleep . She had removed her padded jacket but was sleeping without a quilt over her .

Shen Zhilie was alarmed . He quickly rushed up to pull the quilt out from under her and gently cover her with it .

Ye Qianqian moaned and stretched her back . When she looked at Shen Zhilie, she yawned and asked, “Has everyone left?”

“Yeah, they’re gone . ”

Shen Zhilie sat down beside Ye Qianqian . “I was chatting with you father just now,” he said .

“Huh?” Ye Qianqian sat up and realized that she was awkwardly dressed . She removed her sweater and burrowed herself under the quilt . “What did you talk about?” she asked .
