You Have No Right to Date Someone

Eventually…

“I have someone I like!!” announced the lass loudly out of the blue.

It was a deliberate attempt on her part. She wanted to see how calm and composed can he be after hearing that.

Alas, what disappointed her was that her words shocked everyone at the table but him. Looking as calm and composed as ever, the man merely quietly put down the cutlery in his hands and lifted his gaze to his niece. “What do you know about liking someone?”

“I’m 18 now. What do I not know?”

Chi Yi harshly bit down on the silver fork in her hand as she stared straight at him and answered, “Liking someone means your face will flush and your heart will race when you meet him, and during the times you don’t meet him, you’ll feel a sense of loss and will madly miss him…”

That was exactly how she currently felt toward him!

Chi Zuxu’s sharp eyes were fixed on her pressingly and his sexy lips were pursed into a grim line as he kept his silence.

“Am I wrong?”

His silence prompted her to question the man in provocation.

“Nope, you’re right on that.” The one who answered was not her uncle, but her aunt who sat beside her. “How time flies! My niece is already 18 years old. She has indeed reached the age where she learns about love…”

“You have no right to date someone as of now.”

That was what Chi Zuxu said.

“Why is it okay for you, but not for me?” Feeling disgruntled, Chi Yi pouted her lips.

“I’m 28 and you’re 18! Is that the same?” The man seemed truly somewhat angered now, his tone sounded a little annoyed than before.

“I’m an adult now, so I want to date and fall in love!” She threw down the fork and knife in her hands and firmly stood her ground.

The tension between the two intensified considerably at once.

Chi Yunlin hastily stepped forward to make peace between the bickering pair. “Zuxu, Chiyi is no longer a young girl. At her age back then, I was already together with your brother-in-law! If she really does have someone she likes, just let her give it a try! Who knows, that young chap might be the one!”

Young chap?

His forehead creased and he appeared somewhat displeased.

Who exactly is this lass talking about and crushing on?!

“Sis, she’s only in Year 12 of high school. Soon, she’ll be having her college entrance exams. Where on earth will she have the spare time to go dating?!” retorted the man as he coldly shot his niece a glare.

“I thought she was not taking part in the college entrance exams. After all, she’ll be leaving for abroad with her parents after graduation. Besides, the exams are only a formality, there’s no need for you to be so strict with the lass. How tiring will it be for both of you…”

Even his mother was on his niece’s side, which was evident when the former started speaking up on the latter’s behalf.

“Sure. In that case, I can wash my hands of her! You guys take charge of her, instead!”

As he spoke, he elegantly wiped his mouth with the disinfected hot napkin he picked up before rising to his feet. “I’m full now. You guys enjoy your meal.”

With that, he left the dining room without so much of a head turn.

Chi Yi hastily dropped her cutlery, stood up, and added, “Grandma, I no longer wish to study abroad! I want to take the college entrance exams and get into a local university!”

I’m not going anywhere. I’m gonna stay wherever Uncle is!

At that, she hastily ran after her uncle, leaving behind the rest of the people at the dining table in great stupefaction.

“What did she say just now?” Her grandmother reckoned she must have misheard something.

“I suspect I heard her wrongly, too, Mom! Did that lass actually say that she would take the college entrance exams?! Are pigs gonna fly now? That’s unbelievable!” Chi Yunlin could hardly believe it.

Her mother, on the other hand, smiled in great satisfaction. “Looks like Zuxu does have a way with educating the child! Ever since that lass has come under his guidance, she has become more chatty, and look, she even actively volunteered to take the college entrance exams when she used to hate studying the most! That’s an impressive feat, indeed!”
