Shen Jianhua was convinced that Shen Mianmian was just being stubborn. Considering that his daughter was already sixteen years old and had her own thoughts, he knew that if his attitude was too strong, it might backfire.
So, he softened his expression and began to reason with her, "Mianmian, Dad is not against you dating, it's just that you are still young and really don't know how to judge people. If you do want to find a boyfriend, Dad can introduce you to a good one in the future. Trust me, I would never harm you."
"Dad, I am really not dating him," Shen Mianmian said with a smile, though she felt a bit like crying, "I was just catching a ride in his car. Like you said, I'm still young, still a child, my thoughts aren't as complicated as you imagine them to be."
The word "child" struck a chord with Shen Jianhua.
Seeing Shen Mianmian's open face, not resembling someone who was lying out of guilt, he furrowed his brows slightly. Could it be that he was overthinking?
