"But your mother and I, we haven't explicitly opposed your feelings for each other, right? Chen Yiran...we've watched this child for so many years and think he is excellent." Tianxin's father paused before resuming: "However, given the uncertainty of your two's future, we believe it's best not to mention your relationship to relatives just yet."
"..." Tianxin stared blankly at her father with shimmering eyes, wanting to protest, yet unable to find a rebuttal.
"Of course, your mother and I hope that you two eventually end up together. But if something uncontrollable happens midway, causing you not to, we can only express regret. You'll find someone else who cares for and loves you in the future, I firmly believe that. Nonetheless, until your future together is certain, only our two families should know about your relationship." Tianxin's father looked at her conflicted face, knowing what she was thinking, so he smiled at her and continued.
