1712 Lu Liangwei Was Not Happy
Lu Liangwei was astonished.
“…Mother, I don’t want to leave all of you either, but I don’t want to live with regret in the future too. Big Brother Beitang is a really good man and I don’t want to miss out on him. Otherwise, I’m scared that I’ll regret it if I think back about this one day, and I’ll blame myself for not being brave enough,” Yaoyao said and lifted her head to look at Lu Liangwei with tears all over her little face.
Lu Liangwei was astounded by this.
When she saw her daughter’s tear-stained face, she took out her handkerchief and gently wiped Yaoyao’s tears away.
She said, “You’re still young right now. What if you meet someone better in the future? Maybe you shouldn’t be in such a rush to make a decision.”
Lu Liangwei did not think Beitang You was a bad choice. In fact, she thought he was a really good man.
After all, this was a child she had saved all those years ago. She had spent time with him and trusted his character.
However, the Yan Kingdom was too far away.
She did not wish her daughter to be married so far away no matter how good a man the other party was.
The future was long and far ahead. No one could guarantee that things would not change.
It was fine if Yaoyao was near. At least she would be able to find out about her daughter’s situation in time, but if Yaoyao married somewhere far and got bullied or suffered there, she would not be able to find out and protect Yaoyao.
“But when you like someone, you won’t be able to let another person into your heart. Mother, I like Big Brother Beitang and I want to marry him. I’ve thought about the future too. Even though I trust him right now, it won’t guarantee what the future may be like. I’ll make sure to take responsibility for my decision. If Big Brother Beitang ends up bullying me one day, I’ll leave him without hesitation. I won’t let myself suffer,” Yaoyao said determinedly.
Lu Liangwei was silent after listening to her daughter.
Yaoyao’s words made her realize that Yaoyao did not make this decision rashly. This girl had thought thoroughly about it.
She should feel happy that her daughter did not rush into this stubbornly, but she was not happy about this.
Her children had grown up and had their own ideas on how they wanted to live life. Now that they had someone they liked, it would be soon before each of them would begin their new chapter in life.
The little birds had grown up and it was time to fly away from their parents’ arms to somewhere further in the sky all by themselves.
She could no longer meddle too much in their lives.
“Mother, you should know Big Brother Beitang’s character well. He won’t bully me.” Yaoyao leaned her face against Lu Liangwei’s face once more and hugged her legs reliantly.
Lu Liangwei’s fingers gently brushed through her daughter’s beautiful, long hair. She felt quite unhappy about things.
She sighed gently and said, “Since you’ve already made up your made, I won’t interfere with your decision any longer. It’s enough that you know what you’re doing.”
“Thank you, Mother.” Yaoyao was finally able to relax her nervousness after hearing this. She got up and sat next to Lu Liangwei, hugging her. She gave Lu Liangwei a kiss on the cheek. “You’re the one who loves me most, Mother.”
“Don’t be too happy yet. It won’t be that easy when it comes to your father. Your Big Brother Beitang had asked for your hand in marriage from your father once before but was immediately rejected.” Lu Liangwei had to pour cold water on Yaoyao when she saw how happy Yaoyao was in order to remind her to be mentally prepared.
“I know.” Yaoyao’s shoulders fell. Her mother was easy to convince because Lu Liangwei was the one who saved Big Brother Beitang back then. There was a bond between them, but it was different with her father.
When she saw how forlorn her daughter looked, Lu Liangwei gave this some thought and said with slight melancholy, “It might not all be bad. Don’t worry too much. Although, you shouldn’t be the one to talk to your father about this. Youyou has to be the one to come personally to Great Shang and ask your father for your hand. If he wants to marry you, he has to show his sincerity.”
“I understand, Mother,” Yaoyao said as she perked up.
