Standing at the door of her home, Tina Shen's hand trembled slightly as she held the key.
How long has it been since my mom last scolded me?
She ran away from her blind date and didn't come home for two days.
Oh no, am I going to get scolded terribly?
At that moment, Tina Shen was like an ant on a hot pot, frantically racking her brain for a solution.
Wait, I have a boyfriend now!
Her eyes lit up, and her hand stopped shaking.
The only self-rescue strategy left was this one.
She had to try, at least make a last-ditch effort.
Quietly, she opened the door and carefully stepped into the hall.
The hall was pitch black.
Strange, it's only 10 PM, isn't it?
Why are Mom and Dad asleep so early?
Her heart, which had been hanging in her throat, finally settled back into place.
Tina Shen sighed in relief.
Why am I so scared of Mom when I face ruthless criminals without flinching?
Childhood trauma, I guess!
Mom's way of disciplining her kids was swift and ruthless.
One word: scold!
To be honest, this method of parenting wasn't scientifically sound.
But it was extremely effective!
Of course, Mom, who had been on the provincial Sanda team in her younger days, was very measured when it came to educating her children and husband...
Just as Tina Shen had just changed into her slippers.
Bang!
The lights in the hall suddenly came on.
Tina Shen: Σ⊙▽⊙!
Her pupils contracted slightly, her neck stiffened, and she turned inch by inch to look at the sofa.
There, sitting on the sofa, was her mom, her expression cold as she slowly lowered the remote control.
Her dad sat quietly beside her, not daring to make a sound, constantly throwing nervous glances at his daughter.
Sweetie, you're on your own now!
Mom: (¬_¬)
Tina Shen: ( ̄ω ̄;)
Time passed slowly, and the entire hall was silent.
Chloe Liu sat like a queen, her eyes fixed on her daughter.
Tina Shen's forehead was dripping with cold sweat.
She desperately wanted to add a mountain-crushing calm buff to herself.
But... she just couldn't do it!
"Come here," Chloe Liu spoke.
Tina Shen quickly walked over and sat obediently next to her mom.
"You think not speaking will get you off the hook?"
Chloe Liu reached out and lightly poked Tina Shen's forehead, sneering.
"I wouldn't dare," Tina Shen forced a smile. "Every time you get angry, Mom, I feel like you're super impressive. I never get tired of watching!"
"Ha!" Victor Shen laughed out loud and gave his daughter a thumbs-up.
Chloe Liu twitched her lips, holding back a smile. "Continue."
"And Mom, you're so incredibly beautiful."
Tina Shen said seriously, "I just can't interrupt!"
"Ha!" Chloe Liu finally burst into laughter and retracted her hand.
Tina Shen let out a heavy sigh. That was so scary!
Victor Shen's eyes lit up, silently cheering for the lesson learned.
Now that I think about it, Chloe Liu was indeed quite beautiful.
In her younger days, she wasn't the kind to stun a nation, but she was lively and impressive—an exceptional woman who had even won national women's Sanda competitions.
No wonder Victor Shen, a handsome man himself, had been drawn to her.
Speaking of which, Victor Shen was 1.83 meters tall, had an elegant demeanor, handsome features, and eyes as deep as dark pools, reflecting the passage of time. He was the type of older man who made young girls swoon.
Otherwise, this couple wouldn't have produced such a beautiful daughter.
"So, what happened the other day? You ran off with another man, leaving your Aunt Zhou's son behind?" Chloe Liu raised an eyebrow. "Explain yourself. What happened?"
"Hey, the kid just got back. You should say less," Victor Shen tried to play peacemaker when he saw his wife wasn't really angry.
But as soon as Chloe Liu shot him a look, Victor Shen fell silent.
Nothing to say...
Tina Shen gave her dad an eye roll, then quickly put on a pitiful expression. She took her mom's arm and smiled. "What other man? That's... your future son-in-law. I just didn't tell you guys before because I was worried you wouldn't agree. But Mom, you insisted I go on a blind date, and he found me at the place and came after me!"
"Ah?" Chloe Liu and Victor Shen exclaimed in surprise.
Their daughter already had a boyfriend? Why didn't they know?
"Really?" Chloe Liu asked, her disbelief still lingering. "Why were you afraid we wouldn't agree?"
"Well..." Tina Shen pretended to hesitate and struggle. "He's older than me... quite a bit older!"
"How much older?" Victor Shen asked with concern.
After all, this was his daughter's boyfriend, and they had kept it a secret from both him and his wife.
Is he older than you? Or older than us, your parents?
The couple exchanged a look, their faces filled with shock.
They had an overwhelming urge to buy heart medicine...
Seeing how alarmed her parents were, Tina Shen couldn't help but laugh secretly inside. She said with a serious face, "He's... six years older than me!"
"Whoo!"
The couple exhaled in unison.
That brat almost gave them a heart attack.
What kind of world is this?
Some couples have a big age gap, like ten years or more, and it's no big deal. But six years? That's a problem?
"Well, six years isn't that much of a difference, it's fine as long as the person is good."
As the head of the family, Victor Shen was ready to voice his opinion.
"Go away," Chloe Liu shot him a look before turning to her daughter. "Bring him home tomorrow, or I'll deal with you!"
Tina Shen: "......"
I knew it was going to be like this!
