Chen Jing and Luo Yifan had only just confirmed their relationship status.
Although this meal was supposedly an opportunity for both their families to meet, it seemed to Luo Yifan like a meal anticipating the day when they would all become one family.
Zhu Qianying could feel Luo Yifan's intentions, and she was not particularly opposed to them.
Granted, Luo Yifan hadn't spent a lot of time with her mother, and their relationship was still in its early stages. It did seem like he was rushing things.
However, the success of a relationship doesn't always correlate to the length of time spent together.
It depends more on compatibility.
Just like her mom and Zhu Zhizhou, they were still incompatible despite undergoing twenty years of hardship together. Even if her mother had dedicated her whole life to Zhu Zhizhou, all she would have gained was heartbreak and injury.
