Parents' Love: My Childhood Sweethearts with Jiang Weidong

"Someone you like?" Yafei's eyes widened at first, then she immediately blushed and waved her hand, "I don't have anyone I like."

"Really? I was looking at you today and I thought you had a crush on Wang Haiyang."

Lin Wangshu smiled meaningfully, half-jokingly probing.

After hearing this, Yafei bit her lip, looking unusually shy. "I just feel that he looks different from when he was a child. He looks very elegant now."

"I get nervous and happy whenever I see him. Sister, do you think that counts as liking someone?"

Yafei is completely clueless when it comes to matters of the heart. Although she usually seems carefree, she can't help but get shy when it comes to the person she likes.

Moreover, she had been close to Lin Wangshu since childhood, so when she felt confused, she was still willing to confide in her.

"I guess so," Lin Wangshu said hesitantly, resting her chin on her hand. "But it's also possible that you're just a naive girl who hasn't seen much of the world, and you're treating Wang Haiyang like a treasure?"

Yafei retorted, pouting, "So you like my second brother because you're unsophisticated?"

"That's quite possible. I guess I need to think about it some more." Lin Wangshu actually started to think about it seriously after hearing this, and it seemed like she was considering changing her mind about her partner.

This terrified Yafei. "Don't even think about it! I was just kidding. If my second brother finds out, he'll eat me alive!"

Lin Wangshu was amused by her expression. "I was just kidding. Of course, I chose your second brother after careful consideration."

“However, our Yafei is in the prime of her life now, so shouldn’t we have more choices?” Lin Wangshu said, pinching her soft cheek.

"I'm not a fickle person," Yafei said solemnly, covering her face.

"What about Wang Haiyang? He's so much older than you, maybe he has a girlfriend now?"

Yafei was taken aback, clearly not having considered this possibility. Then she pursed her lips and said, "I'll go ask him. If he doesn't have it, we'll give it a try."

“If he has a girlfriend,” Afie said, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes, “then I’ll give up on him.”

Looking into her determined eyes, Lin Wangshu sighed, "Okay, I support you!"

The next day, Wang Haiyang arrived early as expected. Jiang Weidong was very unhappy when he saw him and treated him with disdain.

When Yafei saw him, her eyes lit up, and she secretly went back into her room to change into a dress.

“I bought breakfast. Let’s eat and then go shopping at the department store. We’ve just started school, so we definitely need to buy a lot of things.”

Wang Haiyang lifted the breakfast in his hand, ignoring Jiang Weidong's cold face, and offered a thoughtful suggestion.

"Oh dear, what a coincidence, Brother Haiyang, we just ate." Jiang Weidong's tone was a little embarrassed, but his face was full of smiles.

His daily routine is like that of the military. This morning, he got up at the crack of dawn. Before Wang Haiyang arrived, they had just finished eating the breakfast that Jiang Weidong had bought.

Wang Haiyang was a little embarrassed as he carried his breakfast, not expecting that they had already eaten.

"It's okay, I'll eat it at noon." Yafei noticed his unease, took the breakfast from his hand, and smiled to ease the tension.

Jiang Weidong snorted and turned his head away, not wanting to see his sister undermine him.

After leaving the guesthouse, Jiang Weidong, who had been in Beijing for more than half a year, knew the area better than they did. He led everyone onto a bus to the department store.

Throughout the journey, Jiang Weidong intentionally or unintentionally kept Yafei and Wang Haiyang apart. Several times, when Wang Haiyang tried to turn around and talk to Yafei, all he saw was Jiang Weidong's cold, dark face.

This forced Wang Haiyang to swallow his words, no matter how much he wanted to say.

When they arrived at the mall entrance, Yafei had already found her second brother annoying. Taking advantage of the crowd and Jiang Weidong's inattention, she pulled Wang Haiyang and secretly slipped away.

He only left one sentence: "See you at the mall entrance in a bit."

"How could she... how could she be siding with outsiders!" Jiang Weidong was so angry that his face turned black. If Yafei hadn't acted quickly, he would have dragged her back by now.

"Don't be in such a hurry. Yafei has something to say to him. You've been treating Wang Haiyang like a thief the whole way. How can Yafei say anything?"

Seeing that he still wanted to chase after them, Lin Wangshu quickly grabbed his arm to stop him.

"If Yafei comes out with us and gets kidnapped by Wang Haiyang, how are we going to explain it to our parents?!"

Jiang Weidong sighed deeply. Jiang Defu had always looked down on Wang Haiyang, always calling him a spoiled brat. If he knew, he would definitely give Jiang Weidong a good scolding.

"Don't worry, I'll try my best to save your leg." Lin Wangshu teased him, suppressing a laugh, remembering Jiang Defu's frequent threats to break Jiang Weidong's legs.

On the other side, Yafei was so captivated by the dazzling array of goods in the mall that she completely forgot about her business. The selection here was even more abundant than in Qingdao.

Wang Haiyang followed behind her with a smile, his eyes following her every move without looking away for a moment.

Seeing that Yafei was attracted by the dress of a girl passing by, Wang Haiyang touched the money in his pocket and called out to her.

"Yafei, is there anything you like? We haven't seen each other for a long time, consider this my gift to you."

Yafei waved her hand after hearing this, "No need, I have a stipend. You're still in school, so you should save your money."

She was always outspoken, but Wang Haiyang felt his pride was hurt, so he pulled her to a counter selling dresses.

“You don’t need to save money for me, I still have this much money. I noticed that the style of your clothes is a bit outdated, so pick one out and I’ll pay for it for you.”

He spoke with great bravado, but Yafei was at a loss. She noticed that Wang Haiyang seemed a little angry, but she didn't understand what she had said wrong.

Touching the dress she was wearing, Yafei felt a little embarrassed. She usually wore military uniforms and rarely had the opportunity to wear civilian clothes. The dress she was wearing was bought for her by Anjie, but Wang Haiyang said it was outdated.

"I usually wear military uniform and don't wear skirts much, so let's just forget about it." Although Yafei felt embarrassed, she still smiled to cover it up.

Wang Haiyang didn't notice her displeasure. His eyes scanned the dresses and suddenly locked onto a blue one.

Its color was very similar to that of the sea, which reminded Wang Haiyang of the navy uniform that Yafei was wearing when he met her at the train station.

"Yafei looks great in it," Wang Haiyang thought to himself, before calling out to the waiter, "Excuse me, could you please wrap up that dress for me?"

Yafei frowned, her unhappiness written all over her face. How could Wang Haiyang not understand human language? She had already said she didn't want it anymore.

When Wang Haiyang took the wrapped dress, he turned around and found that Yafei was gone.

He looked around anxiously, and finally spotted Yafei's back. He quickly jogged to catch up with her, "Yafei, are you angry?"

Hearing Wang Haiyang's cautious voice, Yafei breathed a sigh of relief and finally asked the question that was on her mind.

"Wang Haiyang, do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?"
