Jiang Jiewen and Jiang Chen had been sitting in the tea room for over an hour when the clock struck a little past two in the afternoon.
"It's about time. Let me take you home," Jiang Chen said.
"Okay," Jiang Jiewen nodded. Although she felt reluctant to part from Jiang Chen, she obediently accepted his words.
As they stepped out of the private room, Jiang Chen was at the front desk settling the bill when a few people walked in.
"Jiang Jiewen, aren't you supposed to be at your junior high class reunion? What are you doing here? Is drinking tea now a trend among young people?" A voice called out, belonging to none other than Jiang Jiewen's father, Jiang Shi.
"Dad~~" Jiang Jiewen's voice was tinged with panic.
Having finished paying, Jiang Chen turned around and saw Jiang Shi. He recognized him from when he had dropped Jiang Jiewen off at school during their junior high days. Despite the years that had passed, Jiang Shi looked much the same, and Jiang Chen easily remembered him.
This was the first time Jiang Shi had seen Jiang Chen and assumed he was his daughter's boyfriend. But why did he seem so ordinary?
"Who is this young man?" Jiang Shi asked.
"Dad, this is Jiang Chen!" Jiang Jiewen answered honestly.
"Really? He's Jiang Chen?" Jiang Shi's expression was filled with skepticism. After all, since entering university, Jiang Jiewen had spoken highly of Jiang Chen, painting him as someone extraordinary. Her father could tell that his daughter had strong feelings for this Jiang Chen. If he truly was impressive, then Jiang Shi wouldn’t oppose their relationship.
However, as the years went by, his daughter seemed to have no interest in anyone else and remained fixated on Jiang Chen, who appeared indifferent towards her. Especially in recent years, there had been no news from him at all. This made Jiang Shi increasingly anxious and dissatisfied with Jiang Chen. Even if he possessed remarkable talents and background, it didn’t justify his daughter wasting her youth on him.
It was understandable for any father to feel this way; after all, Jiang Jiewen was indeed exceptional—beautiful and not inferior to those actresses on television, plus she had a high level of education. With such qualifications, she could easily marry into a wealthy family. Was there really no one better than Jiang Chen in this world?
Over the past two years, Jiang Shi had tried to persuade his daughter countless times. Yet every time she mentioned Jiang Chen, it was as if she had been enchanted; she remained steadfastly devoted to him and defended him fiercely as if he were a deity beyond reproach—even her parents were not exempt from her fervent loyalty. She firmly believed that there was no man more outstanding than Jiang Chen.
Jiang Shi felt that his daughter had lost her rationality because of him and harbored deep resentment towards Jiang Chen. He even contemplated giving him a stern talking-to when they eventually met. But now that he stood before him, he found himself at a loss for words.
"You are Jiang Chen?" Jiang Shi looked deeply at him, his tone serious and complex.
Jiang Chen smiled slightly and nodded at Jiang Shi as a greeting before turning to Jiang Jiewen and gently saying, "Since your dad is here, I’ll take my leave."
"Uh, okay," Jiang Jiewen nodded. She wasn't eager to see her father meet with Jiang Chen right now.
As Jiang Chen passed by him, Jiang Shi swallowed hard. If this was how he treated him, how well could he possibly treat his daughter? Just as Jiang Chen was about to push the door open to leave, Jiang Shi finally spoke up.
