We agreed it was just a hug, why did you actually do it?

Faced with Su Jun's questioning, Su Weile showed no fear, looking directly at his father. He was about to speak.

The uncle said in a trembling voice, "Su Weile, your father raised you all by himself. Do you know how old he is now?"

Su Weile's lips trembled, and her eyes reddened.

When Su Jun saw his son like this, the man who was always as strong as iron suddenly became somewhat timid and fearful.

Su Weile closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them again, his eyes were filled with determination. He softly said, "Dad, Uncle, I...I've fallen in love with someone."

Su Hui closed his eyes in pain.

The Soviet soldier, his body tense, asked, "And then? What kind of person was he?"

Su Weile stared at his father, his brows twitching slightly, before he slowly stood up and walked to Su Jun's side.

Under her father's watchful gaze, Su Weile knelt down straight down.

"Dad, I've been so unfilial, but... but I really love him. Can you please indulge me just this once more?"

Su Weile's kneeling startled Su Jun, who immediately stood up. "Lele, you...you get up first, get up and tell me, what kind of person is he? Is he married? Or what?"

Su Weile didn't get up. He knelt there and said, "He's a good person. He's smart, capable, and has no messy romantic history. He's also very good to me. He always thinks of me, takes care of me, and is very considerate of me. He loves me very much!"

Dad, I feel happy when I'm with him. Really, every time I look at him, I feel that happiness so clearly. I want to stay with him like this forever.

After Su Weile finished speaking, the room fell silent. Su Hui and Su Jun stared blankly at the handsome boy, one with a pained expression and the other with confusion, but they were both shocked by Su Weile's confession.

They were all waiting for Su Weile to say something even more shocking.

Su Weile slowly opened her mouth and said clearly, word by word, "Dad, he is a man."

I finally said it.

With just a few words, Su Hui let out a mournful cry, and tears streamed down his face instantly.

For a moment, the Soviet soldier forgot to react. He had considered countless possibilities, but he never expected this to be the case.

He felt like he had forgotten all Chinese. He wondered if he had misheard.

Su Jun couldn't help but ask again, "Su Weile, say it again, what is he?"

Su Weile blinked hard, her voice soft but firm, and said:

"Dad, the person I love, he's a man."

A clear, sharp slap sounded.

Su Weile's head tilted heavily to one side, and a clear finger mark immediately appeared on half of her face.

Su Hui angrily rebuked, "Erjun, what are you doing? Why did you hit him? Can't you talk to him properly? How old is he? Everyone makes mistakes when they're young!"

Su Jun himself was stunned. He looked at his hands, which began to tremble uncontrollably.

Su Jun's eyes also reddened. From childhood to adulthood, he had never touched Su Weile, nor had he ever spoken harshly to him.

He slapped her instinctively, and afterwards, his heart ached terribly.

He felt sorry for his son, but he also felt guilty towards his wife, knowing that she would be very sad if she knew that her beloved child had been beaten.

Su Jun looked at his son, his voice trembling, "Su Weile, think about it, think about what nonsense you just said!"

I did say that as long as you like someone, I don't care about their family background or any external conditions. But Su Weile, aren't you having too high expectations of my standards for choosing a partner? Huh? Are you out of your mind?

Were you... were you temporarily misled? Threatened? Or something like that...?

Su Weile slowly turned his head. He felt a buzzing in his ears, and suddenly he remembered:

He arrogantly said that many people's ears were actually wood ear fungus, and then Tang Shaowu laughed and said: Yes, only our Lele's ears are silver (human) ear fungus.

Su Weile thought sadly that his Da Wuwu hadn't laughed like that in a while.

Su Weile looked at her father and said firmly, "No, it wasn't because I was threatened, or anything else. I just fell in love with him."

Dad, I know you might not be able to accept it now, and I... I couldn't accept it before either, how I suddenly fell in love with a man.

But, but I just like him, I just like him, I can't control myself, I can't control my heart, I really... just like him.

Su Hui and Su Jun were both stunned by the boy kneeling upright before them. Such a direct and passionate confession. They both felt a chill run down their spines.

After a long silence, Su Jun spoke again, his voice hoarse, "Let's break it."

Su Weile suddenly raised her head, shaking it in disbelief.

Su Jun spoke again, "Su Weile, I said let's break it off."

"Dad! We can't break it!"

Su Jun felt a surge of anger rising within him and roared, "Say that again!! Su Weile, you dare say it again!"

A knock sounded on the door, followed by a clear voice asking, "Young Master Su, are you alright?"

Su Weile cleared her throat and said, "It's okay, don't worry."

Su Jun stood there, stunned, frowning as he thought for a moment. "The people at the door, they're his men, right?"

Su Weile nodded.

Su Hui then spoke up, "Xiao Le, is the person you're talking about Tang Shao?"

Su Jun sensed the caution in his brother's question, and he looked nervously at his son.

Then he saw Su Weile nod slightly and say, "Yes!"

Su Hui became agitated. "Xiao Le, you're so foolish! How many times have I told you? People like Tang Shao are not from our world! How can you be so confused?"

Su Jun frowned and asked, "Brother, who is this Young Master Tang?"

Su Hui said, enunciating each word clearly, "That is the top figure in Jinhai City's high society right now, and the most important person among Jiangcheng's princelings."

He is a ruthless and unscrupulous person who does things by any means necessary.

The destruction of the Zhao family and the complete annihilation of the Tang clan—weren't they all his doing? He dared to do these things openly; one can only imagine what he did behind the scenes!

Su Weile's brows furrowed even more. "Uncle, it's not like that. Tang Shaowu isn't what the rumors say. You all don't understand him; it's all a misunderstanding."

Su Jun was completely stunned by his brother's words. He never expected that his son had provoked such a person.

Su Jun said in a detached tone, "Even understanding someone relies on rumors. Someone as unapproachable as Su Weile, do you really think she's from the same world as us? Huh?"

Su Weile, like a defiant little leopard, said, "Why aren't we from the same world? When I'm with him, I feel great. There's no sense of distance like you guys talk about. He's not like the rumors say, like a devil. He's a very good person, he's exceptionally good."

The Soviet soldier forced a smile that was more like a grimace. "Lele, my silly son, do you know that someone who can achieve such great things and reach such a high position... he absolutely cannot be a good person!!"

In the quiet room, the footsteps in the corridor sounded very clear.

The rhythmic, repetitive impacts on the ground seemed to grip the hearts of everyone inside.

The footsteps grew louder as they approached, eventually stopping at the door. Then, a slow, deliberate knocking sounded.
