She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1869: Chapter 15: I’m Only Twenty

"..."

Sister Fang held back her laughter and reminded, "President, Meng Fan doesn’t like..."

Before she could finish, Meng Fan shot her a sharp glance, making her swallow the rest of her words. Don’t be fooled by Meng Fan’s usually good temper; when he’s angry, his silence can be terrifying.

Meng Xingzhi, determined to be the best father in the world, believed he was doing an excellent job and was secretly delighted. Seeing his son silent, he decided to keep the conversation going.

"Son, you’re not young anymore. Do you have a girl you like?"

This topic switched too fast and was too abrupt.

Sister Fang and Liu Yong both looked at Meng Fan in shock. They were curious too! What kind of girl could be a match for Meng Fan?

"I’m only twenty." Meng Fan spoke little, and his thoughts were hard to guess.

Just when everyone thought Meng Fan wouldn’t speak again, he added, "I’m not even at the legal marriage age yet."

As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father. Meng Xingzhi felt both surprised and delighted upon hearing this. Had his son considered the legal marriage age? Could he have a girl he likes?

"Who’s the girl? A classmate or a teammate? Someone from the art troupe? The Song and Dance Troupe? Or the hospital?" Meng Xingzhi guessed eagerly, "They all sound good. Our family doesn’t care about background. As long as you like her, that’s all that matters."

Meng Fan gracefully put down his chopsticks, his phoenix eyes calmly staring at the excited middle-aged man in front of him, "Dad, you’re overthinking it."

"Really? You can date at twenty. Your brother had a girlfriend last year, and he’s three years younger than you. You haven’t dated anyone yet, that seems odd."

"..."

"President, Meng Ping’s current partner is different from last year’s. And you can’t compare him to Meng Ping; he’s the odd one!" Sister Fang decided to speak up for Meng Fan, not wanting Meng Ping to lead Meng Fan astray.

"Huh?" Meng Xingzhi widened his eyes, unhappily saying, "That rascal, I’ll break his legs when he gets back."

"Have another bowl of rice." Seeing his son eat just one bowl, Meng Xingzhi stood up and served him another on purpose, saying with concern, "Eat more, don’t go hungry."

Sister Fang also said with concern, "Yes, this time you must recover your health completely before going back to the rescue team."

Meng Fan came back this time mainly due to pneumonia from rescue training. He had carried a teammate who broke their leg falling into a ravine, walking dozens of miles through the rain for a day and night before returning.

The one with the broken leg is still in the hospital now!

His pneumonia is almost better, but he goes to the infirmary in the compound daily for a couple of saline drips.

"Thank you, that’s enough!"

"Not enough, this much isn’t enough."

Meng Fan’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, calmly saying, "Dad, that’s enough!"

"..." Meng Xingzhi awkwardly smiled, hahahaha...h is son was angry. It’s all because his son comes home too seldom; all year round he’s either with the rescue team or at school, the time he spends at home can be counted on ten fingers.

He couldn’t express his overflowing fatherly love, but seeing Meng Ping, the Demon Lord of Mayhem, made him burn with rage.

"When did Uncle Ping’s family add a girl?" he asked nonchalantly.

"You mean the girl who came this morning? Eh...how did you know?" He remembered his son had a fever yesterday midnight and slept until almost noon.

"I ran into her!" Thinking about meeting the girl just as she dipped her head into water coming out of the washroom, his fair jade-like handsome face turned a stunning shade of red, astonishingly beautiful.

Luckily he kept his head down, so no one saw.
