Defeating You, Fair and Square (4)
At this time, Pudding heard their conversation and said loudly, "Auntie, congrats for adding Handsome Su on WeChat!"
Her voice was loud enough for Qin Chu and Huo Mian to hear. The latter was a little surprised. "Ning and Su Yu added each other on WeChat?"
She had no idea that the twins were trying to set Qin Ning and Su Yu up, so she was a little taken aback.
Qin Chu glanced at Pudding. "Pudding, your auntie's a grown woman, she can deal with her own matters. You guys shouldn't be butting in…"
"Daddy, we're not. We respect Auntie's own feelings…" Pudding argued.
"Ning, are you interested in Su Yu?" Huo Mian asked in front of everyone, leaving Qin Ning so flustered that her face turned crimson.
"Mommy, your question's too straightforward," Pudding complained.
Huo Mian smiled. "We're all family here, why hide these things? Su Yu's a good guy, but are you sure he's your type?"
Huo Mian knew Su Yu well, so like Qin Chu, she didn't think they were good for each other. Although they were both amazing people, it didn't mean they would still be great together.
Moreover, Su Yu technically had a girlfriend, Jian Tong, and Huo Mian didn't want to pull Qin Ning into their mess. If Jian Tong found out, who knew what a woman like her would do...
"Sis-in-Law, I'm not interested… I don't even know him that well. I just think he's a good person, and we're just friends. Don't think too much, really," Qin Ning explained awkwardly.
"It's okay, I understand. You're young so it's good to make friends. If you're interested, you should take the initiative. Your brother and I will support you unconditionally… but Su Yu… you should get to know each other as friends first and slowly understand the kind of man he is."
Huo Mian didn't want to say too much to influence Qin Ning's judgment.
"All I want to say is, Pudding and Little Bean, you shouldn't be trying to influence your auntie, okay?" Qin Chu didn't want the twins to be setting Qin Ning and Su Yu up, because he knew how much the latter loved Huo Mian.
Qin Chu didn't think Su Yu would easily accept Qin Ning and forget all his feelings towards Huo Mian. On the contrary, he was afraid that Qin Ning's heart might break when she couldn't get Su Yu to reciprocate her feelings; after all, she had never been in a relationship.
"Daddy, we're not… why are you so hostile towards Handsome Su? Is it because you guys used to be love rivals…" Little Bean said without thinking.
Only then did Qin Ning understand what was going on; she glanced at Qin Chu and Huo Mian with surprise, suddenly remembering that Su Yu's been in love with her sister-in-law for years. If Qin Chu didn't come back, Su Yu might even have taken his spot…
How could she think about how good of a guy he was and forget the fact that he had been deeply in love with Huo Mian for years…
"What are you guys talking about!" Huo Mian said a little angrily.
Although Qin Chu didn't care about Su Yu's feelings towards Huo Mian, it still bothered him when they talked about it. "Pudding, Little Bean, this has nothing to do with me being biased towards Su Yu… I'm trying to think in your auntie's shoes. You're still children, there's a lot of things you don't understand yet…" Qin Chu explained, not wanting his daughters to misunderstand him.
Huo Mian was just about to chime in when her phone rang.
"Mian, I need to talk to you, is now a good time?" Jiang Xiaowei asked mysteriously.
