My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1468 Comprehending the Fifth

Xia Jianguo spoke in a very soft tone.

He didn't get angry when his daughter expressed her true feelings to a married man while receiving an award; instead, he focused on comforting and guiding her.

Actually, as a father

He knew perfectly well that his daughter had someone she loved.

However, after learning from his daughter-in-law that the person she loved was the superstar Zhang You, he knew there was no possibility of that happening. Such a person was too outstanding, too outstanding for his daughter to have.

There's nothing wrong with liking someone.

The mistake was using this fruitless affection as a basis for judging one's future life.

After all, his daughter is not young anymore. If she doesn't get married soon, she will become an old maid. As a school principal, Xia Jianguo has no idea of ​​taking a step further in his career, nor is it very likely that he will. What he hopes to see most is his daughter getting married, having children, and living a happy and fulfilling life as a family of three.

Some people and some lifestyles are ultimately too far removed from their own homes.

Because of his daughter, Xia Jianguo couldn't help but pay more attention to this Zhang You. He rarely read entertainment news, but he would often look at it. The more he looked, the less likely he was that his daughter and that person had any chance.

Aside from the fact that he's already married, the main reason is that he's so outstanding that even if he divorces, his daughter's affections... will have nowhere to go. A man who is rich, good-looking, and talented will definitely have many women interested in him. Why would he give up his own life to compete with other women? What's the point of such a life?

Anyway, Xia Jianguo thought it was boring.

He had already said these things to his daughter. Last year, he introduced her to many talented young men. Xia Jianguo thought that his daughter's fate hadn't arrived yet or that her standards were too high... Indeed, they should be.

After all, his daughter is quite outstanding now.

Not only is she beautiful, but she's also a female singer who has made a lot of money from her songs. It's normal for her to have high standards, but Xia Jianguo only found out tonight that it wasn't that his daughter had high standards, but that she already had someone she loved.

"Why aren't you asleep yet!?"

As they walked upstairs together, Xia Zhi Qiu asked with a smile.

She didn't pick up on her father's topic because she didn't know how to answer it.

"Your mom's still awake; she prepared a midnight snack for you to celebrate winning the Most Promising Singer award."

Xia Jianguo replied.

Xia Jianguo knew that his daughter didn't want to talk about that matter after she changed the subject. He didn't press the issue. Ultimately, his daughter had to walk her own path in the future.

Sometimes, what parents think is right may not be right for her, and there's no point in saying anything more.

However, if he didn't say anything... Xia Jianguo always felt that he hadn't fulfilled his responsibilities as a father. In fact, when children are young, parents can still manage them, but when they grow up, have their own thoughts, and can make their own choices, no matter how much their parents say, it won't have any effect.

The present is not the past.

There are no instances where a child's marriage can be decided by the parents' wishes and the matchmaker's words.

"He's back!"

Seeing her husband and daughter appear in the living room, Xia Zhi Qiu's mother greeted them with a smile, took the trophy from her daughter's hand, examined it carefully, and then said with a smile, "My Zhi Qiu is still the best."

Xia Zhi Qiu was indeed hungry.

After having a late-night snack, she took her pajamas into the bathroom. She had changed back into her own clothes after the Golden Melody Awards ceremony, which was the dress she was wearing that night. She had also removed most of her makeup with makeup remover in the car.

"How was it?!" After her daughter had eaten her late-night snack and went to take a shower, Xia Zhi Qiu's mother washed the dishes and then walked into the room and asked her husband who was lying on the bed.

"not so good"

talking.

Xia Jianguo couldn't help but sigh softly.

"What can we do?! We can't just keep waiting like this! Zhi Qiu is already so old this year. If she doesn't get married soon, in a few more years... I'm not even comfortable letting her have children."

Xia Zhi Qiu's mother said anxiously.

That's a bit of an exaggeration. Even if Xia Zhi Qiu is in her early thirties in a few years, it's just the right age to have a child. But as parents, they can't help but hope that their children will get married when it's time for them to do so, so that they can have fewer worries.

Many parents feel they haven't fulfilled their responsibilities if their child isn't married, while others feel that their child has only truly grown up and become an adult once they get married, as if their mission is accomplished.

"Let's leave it at that for now! Zhi Qiu is just confused right now, but she'll understand eventually. Don't introduce her to any more potential partners. You've introduced her to so many, I thought..."

As he spoke, Xia Jianguo sighed again and said, "Let's go to sleep early! Children have their own blessings. We should do what we should do, and the rest is up to them. If Zhi Qiu thinks this is good, then so be it. Sometimes marriage and having children are not necessarily a happy thing..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xia Zhi Qiu's mother slapped him hard on the back, followed by an angry voice saying, "What do you mean marriage and having children aren't necessarily a good thing? You can't spoil Zhi Qiu like this. How many women in this society don't get married? Besides, I've introduced her to so many people, and she doesn't like any of them. Is that why she doesn't want to get married? It's obvious... Of all people to like, why would she like a married man and say such things? Now, even if I want to introduce her to someone else, I feel embarrassed. My daughter likes someone, but as her mother, I want to introduce her to someone else. What kind of nonsense is this!"

Hearing his wife's rambling, Xia Jianguo let out another long sigh.

As a father.

Xia Jianguo could sense that his daughter genuinely liked Zhang You; otherwise, she wouldn't have said such things in that situation. She probably worried that if he didn't speak up, she would never have the courage to say it again.

But what's the point of saying it?

Some loves that have no home should be kept in the heart and gradually forgotten until they can no longer leave any trace in the heart. Speaking them out now is equivalent to voluntarily engraving a mark in one's heart.

Just when the couple was deeply worried about their daughter's life-changing event.

After taking a shower and returning to her room, Xia Zhi Qiu looked around and realized it was already 12:30 a.m. When she put her phone back on the bedside table, a piece of paper fell off.

Xia Zhi Qiu reached out and picked it up to take a look.

It turned out to be a short lyric she had written a few days ago. She leaned against the headboard and began to read it carefully. As she read, she seemed to be moved by something. She picked up the ballpoint pen on the bedside table, pressed it, and continued writing.

"Maybe liking something is like this, not wanting to seek results; maybe dreams are like this, they just keep us on the road..."

A gap in time.

Xia Zhi Qiu paused for a moment.

She remembered "Understanding," a song that someone had improvised at the Golden Melody Awards ceremony the previous night, and then her eyes flickered slightly.

It's as impressive as ever.

I just don't know... what kind of lyrics he'll write based on his own experiences and his relationship with him.

Thinking of this, Xia Zhi Qiu smiled, but the smile disappeared and even her bright eyes dimmed.
