“It doesn’t matter if [I’ve failed].”

Zhao Yingjun gently shook her head:

“You might not remember, but do you recall when the thug first appeared and held a gun to your head?

First, you moved to the side of the road, then you told the thug to let me go and that you would take him to find Milk.”

“Even though the armed thug didn’t agree at that time and still demanded to take me as a hostage to threaten you to keep driving...”

“[But from that moment on...

I felt whether we could fly over the overpass was no longer important; whether successful in flying over or failing didn’t matter, you were willing to risk your own life to save me.@@@@

How could I not be willing to risk mine...

to take that gamble with you?]”

She chuckled softly, twirling a loose strand of hair around her temple:

“So...

it’s not just my father, my mother, and me, we are all very grateful to you because of this.

If you don’t have anything on tomorrow night, you could really come and have dinner with my parents.

...

They’ve changed a lot now, their perspectives on many things are different from before...

and they have become much easier to get along with.”

Lin Xian thought for a moment.

Jask’s schedule, tomorrow morning at 10 o’clock, he would go to the Donghai University Affiliated Hospital to Zheng Xiangyue’s ward.

He had planned to meet with him a long time ago, to have a good talk, with the primary goal of rescuing Angelica, the rest could be discussed later.

If everything went smoothly, he would certainly be free that evening and could go meet Zhao Yingjun’s parents, grudgingly accepting their father’s gratitude.

If the negotiation with Jask didn’t go well...

what the situation would turn into tomorrow night was unpredictable.

So, better not to agree too readily.

“Do your parents nag you too?

I thought the topics between you guys would be very high-brow.”

“Heh, how could that be possible,” Zhao Yingjun took the two drinks handed over by the server, stood up, placed them all beside Yu Xi’s plate, then sat back down and continued:

“All parents in the world talk about the same things over and over with their children.

With my age and their traditional thinking, every conversation inevitably leads to them pushing for marriage and children...”

“My parents married early, but were late in having children; they were already in their thirties when they had me, which was considered very late in their generation.

So, you see, now that my mom is retired and has nothing to do, she’s even more forceful with the nagging than my dad, she can’t wait to have a grandchild to hold.”

“Ah...

so sometimes I really miss the times when I didn’t get along with my parents.

At least then I didn’t have all this irritating pressure in my ear.

Speaking of which, Lin Xian, it must be the same for you, right?

Do your parents push you on these matters too?”

“Of course, they push,” Lin Xian recalled the conversation between his mother and Gao Yang during last year’s New Year’s holiday and couldn’t help but laugh:

“They all push.

My parents also push, and they started right after I graduated from college, practically eager for me to get married immediately and give them a grandchild.

But my parents are still quite young, not even 50 yet, and have their own things to do, so it’s mostly just talk, and they don’t push that hard.”

Zhao Yingjun turned her head, looking at Yu Xi, who was still busily eating:

“So sometimes I think, it would be nice to have an instant child like Yu Xi.

Skip the childbirth, skip the upbringing, and directly have her all grown up, that would be more relaxing.”

“Forget about it,” Lin Xian shook his head:

“That’s too scary a thought for me.

I think raising kids should start from when they’re small and gradually nurture them as they grow.”
