Chapter 460: In the Whole World, I Like Only Him【1】
“Tianxin, there is something Dad wants to tell you.”
Xie Xuning’s tone made Li Qingcang’s heart tense up.
Why did he have a bad feeling about this?
“What’s the matter?” Ye Tianxin looked at Xie Xuning worriedly.
Xie Xuning spoke with great difficulty, “Here’s the thing, I had a comrade in arms before. At the time, we made a pact that if we had a son and a daughter, they would marry. Unexpectedly, his family gave birth to a son. I only have you as a daughter…”
“I…”
Ye Tianxin was appalled upon hearing Xie Xuning’s words. She couldn’t help but reach out to Li Qingcang.
“You set me up for marriage even before I was born?”
Xie Xuning was embarrassed. “It’s not like that. We agreed that if you two liked each other, then we wouldn’t keep you from pursuing a relationship and would be happy to see you get married. However, if you didn’t fall for each other, that would be fine too.”
Xie Xuning felt conflicted. When Ye Linlang died, he had been alone since. How could he have a daughter? Naturally, the pact he made at that time was meaningless.
At present, he had recognized Ye Tianxin and would definitely introduce her to the entire Xie family later.
The matter couldn’t be concealed. What if his comrade in arms came to visit him with his son?
“Then Mr. Xie, you must reject this matter.” Ye Tianxin took Li Qingcang’s hand, and their fingers interlocked. “If someone has to accompany me for the rest of my life, then he is no other than Li Qingcang. It can only be him.”
A surge of excitement filled Li Qingcang’s heart.
Like turbulent waves hitting the reefs on the shore, he felt an indescribable sense of joy.
Li Qingcang’s eyes were slightly watery, and he couldn’t help but stretch out his hand to touch his face.
When he was in the hospital ward and he confessed to Ye Tianxin, he was worried that she had already set her sights on someone and would reject him.
He didn’t expect to find out that she liked him.
And now, her heart was full of him.
Ye Tianxin didn’t think that Li Qingcang was too old for her. She simply liked him for him.
Being loved was one of the best feelings in the world. It was refreshing.
“Uncle.” After Li Qingcang uttered ‘uncle’, he felt it was wrong and quickly said, “Father-in-law, please allow me to date Tianxin.”
Xie Xuning was angry, and there was an unfathomable expression on his handsome face.
Had he found his daughter earlier, what would she have to do with that rascal Li Qingcang?
“There is no problem with you dating her. I won’t get in your way. I’m not that kind of parent. However, there is one thing… Tianxin will not get married until she reaches adulthood. Until then, you and Tianxin will keep distance.
Li Qingcang didn’t quite understand. What distance?
Could it be that they couldn’t hold hands?
Couldn’t kiss?
Couldn’t…
“Tianxin, you too. You like him, and I have no objections.” When Xie Xuning spoke to Ye Tianxin, his voice was soft and gentle. “In the future, you will meet many people, and you also have your own dreams to fulfill…”
Xie Xuning wanted to add, ‘You may find that people of the same age have much more in common.’
Sandwiched between Xie Xuning and Li Qingcang, Ye Tianxin was in a dilemma.
Of course, she knew that Xie Xuning would be a little apprehensive of Li Qingcang, but she didn’t expect him to be so straightforward.
“Dad, in the whole world, I like only him.”
