Novel Full Chapter 240 - Intention To Marry (2)
The moment Yun Qingrong blurted out those words, Fang Yi looked at her blankly, wondering if he heard her right. Did that young man truly make his intention to marry Su Xiaofei known to Yun Qingrong? Wasn't this too early for Lu Qingfeng?
"You mean Lu Qingfeng requested a private meeting with you to ask for Feifei's hand in marriage?" He asked once he recovered from his shock. Fang Yi had to admit that the young man was truly head over heels for Su Xiaofei if he had boldly sought Yun Qingrong like this.
"En. Xiao Feng asked for my permission to court Feifei and marry her in the future." Yun Qingrong sighed and leaned on her seat.
"He even asked if he could buy some shares of Bluemedia and invest in some of our future projects. Don't you think Xiao Feng is too young to consider such serious things as marriage at his age? He still needs to finish his studies and even after that, I'm sure Xiao Feng's hands will be full with things he needs to do at Lu Corporation."
Fang Yi shrugged, but he wasn't truly surprised that Lu Qingfeng would do something like this. The young man must have truly made up his mind, and his impending departure had made him decide to seek Yun Qingrong this early.
"Qing, you should know that some people are lucky to find their fated loved ones at an early age. If Lu Qingfeng sought you for Feifei's hand, he must have truly been holding her in his heart and wasn't willing to part with her without making his intention known." He replied.
"Who knows what could happen while he isn't around? Lu Qingfeng probably didn't want to lose Feifei to anyone else and is willing to fight for her regardless of their age difference and distance." He added. "Although marriage is a huge decision to make, it doesn't require the perfect time. Couples could get into the sanctity of marriage the moment they feel they are ready to do it."
"You don't seem to be surprised when I tell you this…" Yun Qingrong eyed him suspiciously.
Fang Yi laughed at that.
"It's not really hard to notice, Qing. You should have seen how Lu Qingfeng looked at your daughter. It's as if she was his whole world and everything revolves around her. It's not really surprising that he still wanted to be part of her life, even if he isn't around."
Yun Qingrong considered his words and couldn't agree more with Fang Yi's opinion. She should have noticed it earlier. Initially, she thought that her daughter and Lu Qingfeng were just really close and dependent on each other at times.
"Qing, you know that Feifei and Lu Qingfeng won't stay young forever. It's normal for them to grow fond of each other. As for Lu Qingfeng, don't you trust him?" Fang Yi questioned her.
"Of course, I do. I didn't need to worry too much about Feifei when she was with him, but this… I don't know what to think of it. Feifei is eighteen at the moment, while he's about to turn sixteen soon. Who knows, maybe his feelings for her would wane in his absence. I don't want to see Feifei and Xiao Feng grow distant from each other."
"That's true." Fang Yi cupped his chin as he gave it a good thought. "However, whether they would develop a romantic relationship or not is not our decision to make. Plus, I don't think Lu Qingfeng would intentionally hurt Feifei at all."
Yun Qingrong knew this. From the moment her daughter introduced the young Lu Qingfeng to her, she knew that the young boy was raised properly - with manners and conduct - by his grandfather. Lu Qingfeng was also more mature in thought than his actual age and didn't have any of the bad habits other young men had.
"So what did you tell him then?" Fang Yi's question brought her back to reality. He was curious about how Yun Qingrong responded on Lu Qingfeng's intention towards her daughter.
"What else could I say? I said that if he and Feifei liked each other, I wouldn't be against their relationship, but I would rather have them focus on their studies first and prioritize their future before thinking about settling down. Xiao Feng would also face a lot of pressure from his family in the future. There's no need to rush making a decision for now." Yun Qingrong rubbed her temple, feeling that another headache was about to hit her some time soon.
"I want to respect Feifei's decision. When she's ready to fall in love again, I won't oppose it if it's Xiao Feng, but he's too young to consider marriage at this point. I'm sure Chairman Lu would agree with me on this." She added.
Lu Qingfeng was no doubt better than Mo Yuchen. Unlike the latter, Yun Qingrong knew that Lu Qingfeng would never disrespect her daughter. She had seen how patient he was from their childhood years up to this day and had never seen him snap at Feifei even when they had an argument.
Yun Qingrong had been upset with how Mo Yuchen treated her daughter in the past, but she couldn't vocally express her opinion about him because she didn't like to get into a heated argument time and again with Su Xiaofei.
"Feifei is probably aware of it now. I'm not sure if they are dating or not, but I think they are closer than usual. Lu Qingfeng must have confessed to her already. Have you considered asking Feifei about this?"
"Do you think Feifei is okay with this?" She asked Fang Yi in return. It hadn't been too long since her daughter had permanently cut ties with Mo Yuchen. Yun Qingrong wasn't sure how her daughter would react to this sudden change in Lu Qingfeng.
"You'll have to ask her for that, Qing. She's your daughter. Maybe she would open up to you now that you are closer to each other.." Fang Yi replied.
