53 You Still Call Those Coincidences? (2/2)

”Of course, it is! I should know who you're going to marry in the future, shouldn't I?”

”That —”

”Come on. Don't be like this! I'll tell you if he likes you or not when you tell me who it is.” She was a bit thankful for the fact that her son wasn't an attentive person right now. Else he would have known her thoughts as soon as she talked about marriage.

”I …” Su Yan averted his face. ”You … You don't know him anyway.” The tips of his ears turned red and he bit his lower lip. He was so obviously lying that Madam Su didn't bother to ask further. Her son obviously didn't want to tell her. But that didn't mean she couldn't find out by herself.

It was a man her son already knew for a long time and whom he regarded as a friend. That person had to pay close attention to his likes and dislikes and obviously knew him good enough to formulate such a detailed plan. Furthermore, he was attentive and caring but also persistent. And he knew how to take advantage of her son's weaknesses.

There was only one person that came to mind.

”Eh, Ah Yan, say, how is Nie Chang doing?”

Her son jerked. ”Why … Why would you ask about him so suddenly?” His gaze flitted around. He obviously felt caught.

”Why do you react so strangely?”

Su Yan tensed. ”I … I was just surprised.”

”Well, I just remembered. What's so strange about asking about your best friend? Eh, it couldn't be that the person we're talking about is Nie Chang, could it?”

”Ah … How … How could that be?” Su Yan laughed dryly. He suddenly felt that it hadn't been such a good idea to come here. His mother was just like a bulldog. If she sank her teeth into something, she wouldn't let go no matter what! How could he have forgotten about that?

”Well, I was just asking. So, about that person … Do you like him back?”

Su Yan felt like his brain was fried. How come there was one difficult question after the other? As for the answer …

”I … I also don't know.”
