After this meal, Zhou Zerong had completely won over Mr. Chen, leaving him with a positive impression of the young man.
After finishing their meal, Zhou Zerong stayed for a while before excusing himself.
Mr. Chen didn't try to make him stay any longer, for he didn't want this stroke of approval to be misinterpreted that Zhou Zerong could easily whisk away his precious daughter.
However, he still let his daughter Chen Ting accompany Zhou Zerong, showing his clear consent to their relationship, but stubbornly refusing to outright express it, amusing both Mrs. Chen and Chen Ting as they quietly laughed.
Walking on the garden path, Chen Ting and Zhou Zerong walked hand in hand; no words were needed as the air was filled with an intoxicating romantic tension.
"You performed very well today, Zerong. You can't imagine how stubborn my dad usually is once he sets his mind on something," Chen Ting complimented.
