Chapter 475 - HAN CHANGHONGS CURIOSITY (1/2)

”I understand. But, what is she doing here in the middle of this conversation?” Han Changhong looked at Zheng Mian.

Han Sheng Ming finally remembered that there was another yet very important existence in this room. He quickly held Zheng Mian's hand, trying not to offend her. Afterward, he declared, ”Dad, Mian is my girlfriend. We are dating with marriage in mind.”

Han Changhong's eyes landed on their intertwined hands before he thoughtfully asked, ”Is this why you refused to get engaged to Tang Mei?”

Han Sheng Ming answered, ”Even if I wasn't dating Mian, I wouldn't marry Tang Mei.”

His voice was firm and resolute. Han Changhong noticed his unwavering eyes and then let out a deep breath. ”You children sure know how to worry your parents,” he commented.

Zheng Mian finally opened her mouth, ”Do not worry, Mr. Han. I will take good care of your son. I won't let him do anything childish that will bring shame to you.”

Han Sheng Ming was confused. He questioned his girlfriend, ”Mian, shouldn't it be me taking care of you?”

Zheng Mian frowned at him in askance. She rebuked, ”You cannot even take care of your engagement. How can you take care of me?”

Han Sheng Ming lowered his head. He mumbled with a sullen expression, ”I still love you the most.”

”...” Zheng Mian was speechless. 'How could he utter these words in front of his father of all people?' As she thought that, her face grew hot.

Han Changhong observed the young couple and spoke to Zheng Mian, ”Can you arrange a meeting with your father? We need to talk about two families.”

His voice wasn't crude or rough. Zheng Mian understood that he didn't dislike her for ruining the engagement. She smiled and answered, ”Sure, Mr. Han. I will talk to my father tonight.”

In the environment she grew up in, a couple didn't need a family discussion to get married or to be lovers. However, Chinese tradition didn't follow this rule. Since she decided to be with Han Sheng Ming, she needed to accept some of the terms of his family just like he got used to hers. That was why she agreed with this family arrangement readily.

Later, Zheng Mian talked to her father and her father invited Han Sheng Ming and his family to Paris.

Han Sheng Ming didn't wish to take his mother and sisters to Zheng Mian's house since his sisters couldn't stand Zheng Mian as she was a friend of Han Luo.

Both Han Changhong and Mr. Zheng had a good conversation and they asked about Han Sheng Ming and Zheng Mian's future plans.

Mr. Zheng didn't take this relationship seriously until now as he thought his daughter was just playing around since she was only twenty. From his experience, girls hardly get married in their twenties since they like to enjoy their lives more.

However, he saw how serious his daughter was and it amazed him. He never thought his carefree, playful girl would think of settling down so soon. She was even thinking about having her own family.
