498 Answer in the Heart

From the moment Lin Pingsheng received Su Hua’s letter, he had thought about it repeatedly.

This letter made him feel very complicated. All kinds of emotions intertwined and finally turned into a sigh. Then, he calmly accepted it.

In terms of kinship, if a man was willing to wait ten years for his daughter to prove his feelings, he would be satisfied and proud of his daughter. This could indeed prove a man’s sincerity.

However, in terms of master-disciple relationship, his disciple was obsessed with a woman and was willing to waste ten years of his life. How could he not feel that it wasn’t worth it for his disciple? If he liked her, he liked her. If he didn’t like her, he didn’t like her. Why would he need ten years just to prove his feelings? For a woman to watch these ten years pass without responding was a waste of his sincerity.

If she really liked him, how could she bear to see him suffer for ten years?

After thinking about it repeatedly, Lin Pingsheng decided that if Lin Yaoyao really did not have feelings for Su Chong, he would let Su Hua use his method to cut off Su Chong’s thoughts. He should not waste ten years of his life on something that would never happen.

Lin Yaoyao pondered for a long time, so long that the sky outside gradually lit up. It was so long that she thought that Lin Pingsheng had left long ago. However, when she looked up, she met Lin Pingsheng’s expectant gaze.

There were tears in Lin Yaoyao’s eyes. She swallowed and said in a dry voice, “Father, what if I don’t love him in the future anymore?”

She hid her feelings because she was afraid. She knew that she was a very fragile person.

Others could only see that she was as cold as ice, but how could they know that her heart was burning and her eyes could contain the galaxy?

When Lin Pingsheng heard this, his heart ached. He gently caressed Lin Yaoyao’s cheek and said gently, “It’s fine. Just come home then. Father and Mother are both healthy. It’s not a problem for us to live to 70 or 80 years old.”

Lin Pingsheng could tell at a glance that Lin Yaoyao was worried. However, no matter how many times Lin Yaoyao asked such a question, he would tell her firmly that her family would always welcome her home. Her parents would always be her parents. If she did not want to be a wife, she could still be their daughter.

Lin Yaoyao looked at Lin Pingsheng. Tears blurred her vision. She choked for a moment and asked, “Father, does he really like me? Does he like me as much as Mother and you do?”

Lin Yaoyao was too nervous. In terms of relationships, she was still a blank piece of paper. She had been disfigured when she was young and had an extremely sensitive and inferior personality. For many years, she had hidden at home and did not dare to expose herself. She thought had a hard life, but she could not escape the secular world.

Later on, when her face recovered, she had the courage to resist the secular world. She often felt lonely. She envied the mutual help between her parents. She had a good impression of Su Chong after his confession, but she did not dare to. She was afraid that once she was no longer used to being lonely, she would lose her armor. Was it worth it for Su Chong?

She was too indecisive, sensitive, and paranoid.

Lin Pingsheng looked at Lin Yaoyao seriously and said word by word, “Yaoyao, I actually don’t know how much he likes you. In this dynasty, men and women only get married once or twice. There’s no difference between marriage and gambling. Whether it’s good or bad depends on one’s character. Father and Mother looked at Su Chong’s character to judge that he’s a responsible person, so Father and Mother agree to betroth you to him.”

Lin Pingsheng sighed softly. His daughter was not an innocent and ignorant girl. If he wanted to win her heart, Su Chong needed to have a lot of patience.

“In this life, there will always be many irreversible regrets. Although regrets are regrets, who knows if the other choice is good? Life is a gamble. As long as you have enough chips in your hands, it doesn’t matter if you lose a few times. Daughter, don’t worry and bet boldly. No matter the outcome, we can help you.”

Lin Pingsheng smiled gently. He and Mdm Chen only had one daughter. Everything was invested in her. He did not care how many choices other children had, but his daughter always had more than one choice in life.

No matter which one they chose, even if it was the worst outcome, he and his wife had a way to protect their daughter.

Lin Yaoyao looked into Lin Pingsheng’s eyes and smiled with tears streaming down her face. She said with a trembling voice, “Father, I’m willing to marry him.”

She still took this step and chose not to escape.

Lin Pingsheng revealed a gratified smile. He also felt a lump in his throat and almost cried. He nodded. “Okay, okay, okay.”

Lin Pingsheng said ‘okay’ three times in a row.

Lin Pingsheng got up and returned to his room. The sky was already bright outside. The blue sky and white clouds were so beautiful. It was a good day.

Lin Pingsheng returned to his room. Madam Chen was sitting in front of the dressing table, still wiping her tears.

Lin Pingsheng walked to her side and put his arm around Madam Chen’s shoulder. He said softly, “Madam, you should be happy. There’s going to be a happy occasion in our family. We should be smiling.”

In the latter half of last night, he waited in the room for Lin Yaoyao to think it through. Madam Chen was waiting outside.

The couple were both waiting. Madam Chen did not show her face. When she finally heard the answer, she cried as she returned to her room.

Madam Chen’s eyes were slightly red. She choked and said, “These are tears of joy.”

How could she bear to see her beloved daughter suffer alone for the rest of her life?

It was a blessing from the heavens to have a good fate. She was happy.

Madam Chen leaned gently against Lin Pingsheng and remained silent for a long time.

Lin Pingsheng went to get a pen and paper.

He wrote a reply to Su Hua and also to Su Chong.

There were some things that Lin Yaoyao might never say to Su Chong in her life, but Lin Pingsheng knew, so he said them.

After writing the letters, he personally went out to deliver them.

After doing this, all that was left was to wait.

This letter was delivered to Su Chong and Su Hua half a month later.

August 14th.

Su Hua unfolded the letter and looked at the answer. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he felt relieved.

It was good that he agreed. There was no time to lose. He also wanted Su Chong to propose marriage as soon as possible and finalize the wedding date. Lin Yaoyao and Su Chong were not young anymore. The three books and six gifts had been finalized. It would not take long. Since both him and Su Xiaoling were going to get married before the new year, Su Chong’s marriage could not be arranged before the new year. Some customs still had to be followed.

They would decide on a date after the new year. In February, the second of February would be the Dragon Raising Its Head. There was nothing bad to say about the date. From the moment Su Hua read the letter, he began to plan a process in his heart.

“Lord Su, you look happy. Is there anything good?”

Su Hua had a smile on his face. Xiong Cheng, who was also the Assistant Minister of Revenue, asked with a smile. Xiong Cheng was in his forties, but he was humorous.

He was the left assistant minister of Revenue and Su Hua was the right assistant minister of the Minister of Revenue. The two of them were on good terms.

Su Hua didn’t hide anything when Xiong Cheng asked. He smiled and said, “Something good has indeed happened at home.”
