Chapter 153: Su Gang Discovers a Blind Spot (Part 1/2)

On the way home, Su Gang couldn’t help but ask his daughter, “Xiaoli, how has your relationship with Little Feng been lately?”

“Very good!” Su Xiaoli answered.

“What do you two usually do together?” Su Gang continued to inquire.

“Not much. We eat, study, and participate in activities,” Su Xiaoli thought for a moment before responding.

“Is that all?” Su Gang was somewhat skeptical.

“Ah! Dad, what else do you expect us to do!” Su Xiaoli suddenly became shy.

“I didn’t mean that!” Su Gang quickly waved his hand, saying, “I just wanted to ask about your situation. After all, you’ve been dating Little Feng for so long, and as your father, I can’t help but be concerned.”

“Dad, brother Feng and I get along very well. Even though he’s busy, he tries his best to spend time with me,” Su Xiaoli said.

“I never thought Little Feng would turn out to be so promising. You must get along well with him. Of course, if he ever bullies you, you must tell me! Don’t ever suffer in silence!” Su Gang said earnestly.

“I know.” Su Xiaoli nodded, “He’s really good to me.”

“Being good to you now doesn’t mean anything. When your mom and I were dating, we were also inseparable. But after we got married, especially after I lost my job, her attitude towards me changed drastically. Eventually, our marriage came to an end,” Su Gang said, unable to hide a sigh.

Su Xiaoli didn’t say anything.

She was very young when her parents divorced.

In her memory, her parents fought frequently.

Her childhood was filled with turmoil and insecurity.

This continued until her parents divorced.

She lived with her father.

Since then, her mother completely disappeared from her life.

Because of this, Su Xiaoli had always been deliberately evasive in matters of the heart.

Her parents’ divorce left an indelible scar on her soul.

If Tang Feng hadn’t taken the initiative to confess his feelings, she didn’t know if she would have had the courage to pursue her own love.

“Dad, your marriage with mom isn’t a prelude to brother Feng and me. Anyway, since I’ve decided to date brother Feng, I will stick with it to the end,” Su Xiaoli’s eyes were filled with determination.

“Having that confidence is the best. I’m just worried about you getting hurt,” Su Gang said.

“Should I stop giving because I’m afraid of getting hurt?” Su Xiaoli asked.

Su Gang didn’t reply.

“Dad, brother Feng and I grew up together; we understand each other relatively well. I believe he would never do anything outrageous,” Su Xiaoli was confident.

“I know.” Su Gang nodded, “I’ve watched him grow up. Your Uncle Tang and Aunt Tang are both upright and kind people.”

“That’s good enough! Brother Feng and I will definitely keep going,” Su Xiaoli laughed.

“By the way, haven’t any suitors appeared for brother Feng since the start of school?” Su Gang changed the subject.

“It doesn’t seem so,” Su Xiaoli shook her head, “But there are indeed many girls who admire him.”

“He has achieved high success in many fields now! He’s practically a celebrity! Surely, many girls have him in their sights! Don’t take it lightly!” Su Gang cautioned his daughter.

“I can’t tie him to my side! Besides, he’s an adult and knows what he should and shouldn’t do. If he’s determined to be with someone else, even if I follow him 24/7, it won’t work! Moreover, trust is the most important thing in a relationship! If there’s no trust, then there’s no point in being together,” Su Xiaoli responded.

“That’s true. It’s probably because Little Feng is so outstanding that I have these unfounded worries,” Su Gang said with an embarrassed smile.

“Dad, please! Your daughter is also excellent, okay!” Su Xiaoli was quite speechless.

“My daughter is, of course, excellent! A top student in the Finance Department of Jingcheng University! And I’ve read the paper you published! The level is really high!” Su Gang said, giving a thumbs up.

“That paper was also brother Feng’s achievement. I completed it under his guidance. But I believe that in the near future, I can write even better papers,” Su Xiaoli spoke confidently about herself.

“That’s a must! Xiaoli, although Little Feng is outstanding in many aspects, you can surpass him in finance!” Su Gang suggested.

“I think so too,” Su Xiaoli nodded, “But I also need to learn from him! I want to acquire more skills! That way, I can become even more outstanding!”

“Little Feng taught you cooking before, right? How’s that going?” Su Gang asked with interest.

“Not bad! But when I’m with him, he hardly lets me cook,” Su Xiaoli answered.

“Wait a minute?” Su Gang seemed to suddenly discover a blind spot.

“What’s wrong?” Su Xiaoli became anxious seeing her father’s reaction.

“Aren’t you living in dormitories? Why do you need to cook?” Su Gang asked eagerly.

“Um…” Su Xiaoli was at a loss for words for a moment.

She never dreamed that such a slip would occur during her conversation with her father.

It seems the saying is true: speak too much, and you’ll eventually slip up.

“What’s the matter? Why aren’t you speaking?” Su Gang became increasingly anxious.

“Dad, if I tell you the truth, will you be angry?” Su Xiaoli tentatively asked.

“Speak first,” Su Gang clearly felt his inner universe was ready to explode.

“I did cook with brother Feng. Of course, it’s not every day, just occasionally. Most of the time, we still eat in the cafeteria. And I go back to the dorm to sleep at night,” Su Xiaoli answered.

“So, did you two rent a place together?” Su Gang guessed.

“It’s not a rented place,” Su Xiaoli shook her head, “The house was bought by brother Feng.”

“This kid is really something! He just went to the capital and has already bought a house!” Su Gang’s comment was tinged with a complex tone.

“Dad, please don’t misunderstand! Little Feng bought the house for better study and living conditions. You know living in a dormitory, with many people around, is not conducive to studying,” Su Xiaoli quickly explained.

“Did he already buy the house when I visited you and Uncle Tang last time?” Su Gang asked.

Su Xiaoli didn’t speak, just nodded vigorously.

“Where is the house?” Su Gang continued to ask.

“Right across from our school. There happened to be a villa for sale at that time, and brother Feng bought it for three million yuan,” Su Xiaoli honestly answered.

“You two really aren’t living together?” Su Gang was clearly skeptical.
