Chapter 123 - 118: Do You Know What I Like About You?
You Jia shook his head, "After we’re engaged, you’ll be my fiancée. In the past, Uncle Che didn’t give me a chance, but now I have the right to protect you. No matter what happens in the future, I’ll protect you like Uncle Che and Airui do. I want to make you a carefree, happy woman. The military parade here will still take a few days, so I’ll arrange for Shi Qing first, and then we’ll go to Laman. I want to face Grandpa with you."
Tong Ai Ni cast him a playful glare, "Dummy, do you know what I like about you?"
You Jia chuckled, "I’d like to know."
"I like your wisdom, your knowledge, and your warm, caring soul. I already have a domineering grandpa, a domineering dad, and two domineering brothers. I don’t need another domineering boyfriend. Just be yourself. I can take care of myself."
You Jia frowned slightly, "Ai Ni, are you doubting my abilities?"
Tong Ai Ni was momentarily stunned but then burst into laughter, "I called you a dummy, and you really are one! Your ability to protect me won’t be any worse than my dad’s or my brothers’. But who are you? You’re the future King of S Country. The responsibilities on your shoulders don’t allow you to focus too much on me."
You Jia pulled Tong Ai Ni into an emotional embrace, "Ai Ni, thank you for understanding me like this."
"Moved by me?" Tong Ai Ni laughed and gave him a light push. "This is all thanks to the analysis my mom offered when we got back from the restaurant. I told her I was ready for whatever challenges lie ahead and that I wouldn’t cry to her no matter how hard things became. I also promised her that no matter how far I marry, I’ll always return to see her often. Guess what my mom said?"
You Jia chuckled, "Auntie said: ’I’ve got a perfectly satisfactory daughter-in-law now; I’m not desperate for you to come back and visit!’"
