Try Saying You Don't Like It - Chapter 36

Chapter 36

Leng Ci tried to reason with the young girl, suggesting she might have the wrong person, but the girl could not only state her daughter’s name but also name the high school she attended, the teachers she had, her score on a particular mock exam, and even more details that only family members would know.

Leng Ci had no defense and had to admit that her daughter had indeed abandoned someone after the initial thrill.

Leng Ci had a headache like never before. She could only ask the young girl what she wanted to do.

What did the girl say at the time?

“It’s easy. I just need Yin Qiuman to take responsibility for me.”

The girl cried, tears and snot running down her face, gazing at her pitifully.

Leng Ci had never experienced such a scene. Her head hurt even more. She looked at her husband, Yin Huaishan, for help, but he was equally at a loss.

Crucially, their daughter already had a girlfriend now.

How could she be responsible for the young girl in front of them?

Leng Ci was truly out of ideas and could only tell the truth, informing her that her daughter already had a partner.

But, unexpectedly, the young girl cried and laughed upon hearing this.

She asked, “So, Auntie and Uncle won’t do something like break up a loving couple?”

Leng Ci was stunned at the time. Break up a loving couple? Yes, if they made their daughter responsible for this girl, their daughter would have to break up with her current girlfriend. Wouldn’t that be breaking up a loving couple?

So, what was the point of breaking up their daughter’s current love life to make her responsible for someone she used to like, when her daughter’s preference was still women?

If they forced their daughter once and she compromised, what about two or three times?

Wouldn’t their family ultimately fall apart?

They only had one daughter.

Leng Ci and Yin Huaishan understood this, which is why Yin Qiuman was met with the scene she saw upstairs.

Leng Ci’s words left Yin Qiuman speechless. Yes, she was the one who dumped He Xinglan back then.

Seeing her daughter remain silent, Leng Ci knew He Xinglan’s claim about her daughter being a heartless player was not false. With a long sigh, Leng Ci said: “Manman, it’s not easy to meet the right person. It’s even harder that you and Xingxing could rekindle your relationship after breaking up. You must learn to cherish her. Xingxing was willing to choose you again after you broke up with her; you must not betray this deep affection, do you understand?”

Yin Qiuman: “I understand, Mom.”

Yin Qiuman was even more curious now. What method did He Xinglan use? She felt like her parents were more like He Xinglan’s parents!

That evening, He Xinglan naturally had dinner at the Yin family home. The table was full of dishes that He Xinglan loved; Yin Qiuman’s favorite dishes barely numbered two.

Watching her parents enthusiastically pile food onto He Xinglan’s bowl, forming small mountains, it didn’t dampen their excitement.

Yin Qiuman watched He Xinglan cheerfully tackle the food while happily chatting with Yin Huaishan and Leng Ci. She unconsciously curved her lips, her eyes slightly red.

This is wonderful.

The present is wonderful, and He Xinglan is even better.

After dinner, Leng Ci asked Yin Qiuman to take He Xinglan out for a walk. Knowing He Xinglan had been away from this small county town for many years and had finally returned, Leng Ci urged her daughter to lead her out.

She told Yin Qiuman to show He Xinglan the changes in the small county town.

Strolling along the streets of the small county town with He Xinglan, Yin Qiuman suddenly said: “Starting next year, this small county town will no longer be called a county. The government has already designated it as a district.”

“Is that so?” He Xinglan laughed upon hearing that: “Then this small county town is quite successful.”

“Mm,” Yin Qiuman replied, then looked at He Xinglan: “You are too.”

“Me?” He Xinglan pointed to herself and said with a beaming smile: “What does my girlfriend mean by that?”

“Eloquent and persuasive. You managed to win over my parents so easily.” Yin Qiuman’s tone was a bit sour. Her parents clearly treated He Xinglan better than they treated her now.

She was the biological one, after all.

He Xinglan chuckled, lifted her chin, and said proudly: “Of course! Look whose girlfriend I am.”

“So, whose girlfriend are you now?” Yin Qiuman raised an eyebrow, looking at He Xinglan with a smile in her eyes.

“Whose else?” He Xinglan leaned closer to Yin Qiuman, her voice seductive: “Yours, of course.”

“Yin Qiuman’s.”

“I am Yin Qiuman’s girlfriend!” He Xinglan yelled happily, her radiant smile making it impossible for Yin Qiuman to look away.

He Xinglan was like a dazzling sun; her fiery love warmed Yin Qiuman completely.

“Oh? You’re back, are you?” Not long after He Xinglan’s declaration, their private world was interrupted.

Xiao Hua was bored at home and came out for a stroll, unexpectedly running into He Xinglan and Yin Qiuman.

Of course, she was initially some distance away from them, but she couldn’t ignore He Xinglan’s loud shout just now.

She heard it from afar.

“Student He is quite showy, huh.”

He Xinglan didn’t deny it. If Yin Qiuman allowed it, she would even use a megaphone to shout down two streets. She wished everyone in the world knew that Yin Qiuman was her girlfriend.

“So you’re jealous?” But He Xinglan’s lack of denial didn’t mean she would passively accept Xiao Hua’s teasing.

Xiao Hua was still single, and He Xinglan’s question hit a nerve.

“Manman, aren’t you going to manage her?” Xiao Hua complained angrily to Yin Qiuman.

Yin Qiuman was about to speak, but He Xinglan put her arm around her neck, hugged her close, and sneered: “Head Monitor Xiao, Manman is mine, my girlfriend. Do you think she’d side with an outsider?”

Xiao Hua: “…”

“Fine, fine, having a girlfriend is great. How about I treat you two to dinner?”

He Xinglan: “Then we might just give you that chance.”

“You treat us, we pay.”

Xiao Hua finally cracked a smile: “That’s more like it.”

The three found a restaurant nearby. Since He Xinglan and Yin Qiuman had just eaten, they didn’t order too many dishes, but there was enough for Xiao Hua to eat heartily.

At the table, Xiao Hua asked curiously: “You two… were so open on the street just now. Did you… meet the parents?”
