Jun wholeheartedly wanted their approval. He couldn't measure the happiness when Xie Nuying and Zhou Yichen accepted him for Ai. But he knew that something was missing. He couldn't feel at peace, and a strange anxiety tugged his heart.
That's when Jun decided that he had to come out with his relationship with Shui. It wasn't supposed to be hidden anyway so before they learned it from somebody else and doubted Jun's sincerity for Ai, he confessed it himself. He wished them to accept him with his past just like Ai did.
The silence was deafening as Jun still kept his head bowed. After listening about Shui, Zhou Yichen and Xie Nuying might not approve of Jun anymore. As parents, he knew it was understandable. Even if they would say now that they don't want him for Ai anymore, he had steeled his heart to not give up.
His heart hammered in his chest, imagining their disappointed looks.
"Raise your head," Jun heard Zhou Yichen's voice.
