Chapter 365 Want to marry her
Meng Ling's parents were obviously surprised when they heard this.
They looked at each other, and then Meng's father said: "Young man Pei, we know that you are from the Pei family, but we don't interfere too much in Mengling's private life. It's your business to get married."
Pei Yanqing felt a little disappointed and felt the indifference of Mengling's parents towards their daughter's emotional life.
Pei Yanqing took a deep breath and adjusted his mentality.
He knew that at this moment, he needed to show maturity and stability, and he looked directly at Meng Ling's parents.
"Uncle and aunt, I know you have your own opinions on Mengling's lifestyle, and I respect that. But today, I still want to express my gratitude. Thank you for raising Mengling to be such an excellent girl. , if it hadn’t been like this, I probably wouldn’t have been lucky enough to meet her.”
Pei Yanqing's words were sincere, and his eyes were full of sincerity.
Pei Yanqing's voice was full of respect and sincerity, and he continued: "I understand that you may have your own lifestyle and choices, but I still hope that when Meng Ling and I get married, I will have your blessings. She is your daughter and your presence means a lot to her.”
Mengling's parents looked thoughtful after hearing these words. They looked at each other for a while, seemingly exchanging opinions silently.
Meng's mother's expression softened slightly, while Meng's father nodded slightly.
"Okay, young man Pei," Meng's father finally said, "Although we don't often get involved in Mengling's personal life, if you really decide to get married, we will attend and give you our blessings. After all, Mengling is our daughter. "
A grateful smile appeared on Pei Yanqing's face, and a trace of relief flashed in his eyes. "Thank you, uncle and aunt. This will be the best gift for Meng Ling."
The lighting in the restaurant was soft and the atmosphere became warmer after this conversation.
Although Mengling's parents still seem a little distant, their agreement to attend the future wedding is undoubtedly a kind of support and recognition for Pei Yanqing and Mengling.
After dinner, Pei Yanqing offered to take Mengling's parents home.
He hopes to take this opportunity to express his respect for his future father-in-law and mother-in-law.
The atmosphere in Pei Yanqing's car was relatively quiet.
He drove the car and occasionally talked to Meng Ling's parents, trying to ease the awkward silence.
While driving, he looked at their expressions through the rearview mirror from time to time, hoping to read some of their moods.
First, Pei Yanqing sent Meng Ling's mother back to where she lived.
When saying goodbye, Pei Yanqing handed her an exquisite gift box. "This is a little thought, please accept it." His voice was gentle and sincere.
Mengmu was a little surprised, but she still took the gift and nodded slightly to express her gratitude.
Later, Pei Yanqing drove Meng's father to another location.
Similarly, before getting off the bus, Pei Yanqing handed Meng's father a similar gift box to express his gratitude.
"Uncle, this is my respect for you. Please accept it." Pei Yanqing's tone was full of respect.
Meng's father took the gift and nodded. Although his expression was still a little cold, Pei Yanqing felt a little relaxed from the subtle changes in his eyes.
Meng's father held the gift in his hand and looked at the night sky silently. After the car door closed gently, Pei Yanqing's car gradually drove away, leaving him standing alone on the quiet street.
His eyes showed complex emotions, as if he was reflecting on his relationship with his daughter Mengling.
Since divorcing Meng's mother, he has been busy with his own life and has little time to pay attention to Meng Ling's growth and psychological needs.
Now that his daughter has reached the age of discussing marriage, he can't help but feel a sense of loss and self-blame in the face of such a sincere future son-in-law who comes from a prominent family.
Meng's father's heart was full of contradictions. On the one hand, he is relieved that his daughter can find a good partner; on the other hand, he is aware of his absence in his daughter's life and feels guilty about it.
Mengmu on the other side was sitting on the sofa, with various emotions in her heart.
Although she was often busy with her career and personal life, she always felt guilty deep down, feeling that she had failed to fulfill her responsibilities as a mother and failed to provide enough care and support to Meng Ling.
Watching her daughter grow up, Meng’s mother couldn’t help but begin to reflect on her role.
She realized that although Meng Ling looked independent and strong on the outside, as a mother, she might have missed many opportunities to care for and understand her daughter's inner world.
A trace of moisture flashed in Meng Mu's eyes, and she sighed softly, her heart filled with self-blame.
She secretly made up her mind to get more involved in Meng Ling's life in the days to come to make up for the regrets of the past.
Back home, Pei Yanqing was still worried, but with a hint of determination.
The atmosphere at home is warm and harmonious, and Pei's father and Pei's mother are chatting in the living room.
Pei Yanqing entered the living room with a smile on his face, but he had an important decision to announce in his heart. "Mom, Dad, I have something to tell you." Although his tone was calm, there was determination in his eyes.
Father Pei and Mother Pei felt the seriousness in their son's tone, so they stopped talking and turned their attention to Pei Yanqing. "What's the matter, Yan Qing? Is there anything important?" Mother Pei asked, her eyes full of concern.
Pei Yanqing took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I have decided that after graduation, I want to get engaged to Mengling." There was an unshakable determination in his voice.
Father Pei and Mother Pei exchanged meaningful glances, and then Mother Pei asked softly: "So what does Meng Ling think? Does she agree?"
Pei Yanqing's eyes flashed with determination, "Actually, I haven't asked Mengling yet. I want to get your consent first. If you support me, I will express my determination to Mengling. If she agrees, we can get engaged. .”
After listening to Pei Yanqing's words, Father Pei was silent for a moment.
His face looked calm and serious, and he looked at his son with deep eyes, as if he was weighing every word.
"Yan Qing," Father Pei finally spoke, with a calm dignity in his tone, "I am very happy to see that you have grown up and can make such a decision about your future. Of course your mother and I support you, But you must remember that marriage is not just a matter of two people, but also involves two families. You must respect Meng Ling’s wishes, which is the most important thing.”
Father Pei's words revealed his deep understanding of marriage and also reflected his expectations and trust in his son.
Pei Yanqing was filled with gratitude when she heard her father's words.
He walked quickly to Father Pei and Mother Pei, hugged them excitedly, and said with emotion in his voice: "Thank you, Mom and Dad. Your support means everything to me."
Pei's mother was moved by her son's actions and hugged Pei Yanqing tenderly. Pei's father also patted Pei Yanqing's shoulder gently.
Mother Pei's eyes welled up with tears, and she patted her son's back tenderly. "We will always support you, Yan Qing. Your happiness is our happiness."
