"I took a leave of absence," Nan Mufeng said.
Yu Ling's eyes tightened. Then she turned her head away to look out the window.
Jian Xi was still chatting and laughing with Uncle Li by the poolside, looking very happy.
An eighteen-year-old girl, like a flower in bloom. How wonderful.
"Will you marry her?" Yu Ling asked.
"Yes."
"What if, I don't allow it?" Yu Ling said.
Nan Mufeng's back stiffened, and he became nervous, "Mom, you'll like her."
"No, I don't like her. On the contrary, I really dislike her." Yu Ling pointed at Jian Xi, "I hate all people with the surname Jian."
"Mom..."
"Five years ago, you didn't listen to me, insisting on staying in the military camp. Now, are you still not willing to listen to me?" Yu Ling suddenly raised her voice, stern and forceful, "Break off the engagement, cut ties with anyone surnamed Jian, and I'll forgive you."
Nan Mufeng's pupils constricted. He looked at Yu Ling incredulously, "Mom!"
"What? You won't do it?" Yu Ling sneered.
