Sorry, My Beloved Is The Motherland - Chapter 13.2 - Winning Over Dad Is Better Than Dating

When they returned to the city, he would swallow his pride and pull some strings to get her a position close to home, where he could keep an eye on her and ensure she didn’t stray off course again.

However, Ning Fu’s father was relaxing his guard too soon.

As Ning Boyuan was about to get into the car, he saw a young man approaching from the side. His orderly quietly mentioned that this young man had been lingering around for a while.

Ning Boyuan recognized him as one of the educated youths who had just eaten with them, so he paused and looked at him inquiringly.

“Hello, Uncle, my name is Gao Han,” the young man said, sweating slightly on his forehead. Then, as if making a firm decision, he continued, “—I, I am Ning Fu’s boyfriend.”

Facing Ning Boyuan’s icy gaze, Gao Han’s heated mind finally cooled down a bit. He was at a loss for words, repeatedly wondering what inexplicable force had driven him to suddenly push things in an entirely unforeseen direction.

But now that things had come to this, he couldn’t retreat or hesitate any longer.

Opportunities are fleeting.

“I truly love her! She, she also likes me a lot! We used to sing about the stars and the moon together. After we set common goals, we have been studying and progressing together. Xiao Ning even lent me her textbooks…”

His words came to an abrupt halt.

Gao Han realized he shouldn’t have said that. No parent would be pleased to hear someone describe how their precious child loves another person so much that they are willing to make sacrifices for them.

—Especially because Gao Han saw the Major General’s expression change from calm and amiable to one of thunderous rage.

Gao Han didn’t doubt for a moment that if this were the old days when street murders went unpunished, the military man before him would have immediately drawn a gun and put a bullet in his head.

Facing such fury for the first time, Gao Han found his legs going weak, unable to move.

“No… Uncle, I mean, I mean, I really, really like Xiao Ning. I want to be with her. I beg you, give me a chance to take good care of her…”

Ning Boyuan’s lips twisted in anger.

He ignored Gao Han, turned around, and got into the car. The engine of the off-road jeep roared to life, and it sped away, leaving Gao Han standing there with his mouth open, eating a mouthful of dust.

The driver and the orderly in the front seat held their breath, the silence punctuated by the metaphorical “crackling” of Ning Fu’s father’s burning anger.

Seeing Ning Boyuan’s face turn purple with rage, the orderly quickly tried to console him, “Sir, please don’t be upset, Xiao Ning she…”

The orderly was at a loss for words.

Ning Fu’s crush on Gao Han was something everyone knew—except Ning Boyuan.

Ning Boyuan was convinced that Ning Fu had a boyfriend in Tula Gaqi, and no matter how much Ning Fu denied it, it was futile. He had seen that although the boy named Du wasn’t particularly sharp, he was commendably straightforward and seemed studious, so he had reluctantly decided to accept it—

Who would have thought another one would pop up!

Just thinking about Gao Han’s words made Ning Boyuan furious.

Jiao Jiao had written home saying she needed textbooks to prepare for the college entrance exam, and her mother had been so happy she couldn’t sleep all night! Who would have thought it was for that Gao Han!

What is wrong with this child, Jiao Jiao!

This Gao Han was so impatient, yet during the meal, he was sitting closely with another female educated youth. How could he have any genuine feelings for her?!

What was his real intention, rushing up to him, the parent, to declare his sincerity now?!

“When I was talking to Jiao Jiao, was he outside?” Ning Boyuan suddenly asked.

The orderly thought for a couple of seconds and then cautiously replied, “Yes.”

Ning Boyuan let out a snort of anger.

He knew his daughter. When Jiao Jiao liked someone, she was wholeheartedly devoted. But she was too naive, too easily deceived.

The sudden appearance of Gao Han completely overturned all the “compromises” Ning Boyuan had made during the meal. He had seen countless people in his life.

Ning Boyuan considered himself a rough man, but on the battlefield, he could instantly tell who would desert, who would betray, and who would fight to the last drop of blood without retreating.

His daughter was a good child, but also a foolish one! In the future, when it comes to marriage, what use are romantic notions when it comes to putting food on the table?! It was better to find someone who was genuinely good to her than a cunning opportunist!

But how could a young girl understand these things?

He couldn’t entrust Jiao Jiao to someone like that!

Major General Ning sat in the back seat of the off-road vehicle, pondering for a few seconds, then glanced out at the continuously receding scenery.

The barren plains stretched on, with snow still lingering.

His visit this time was actually to see if Ning Fu was genuinely serious about taking the exam.

If she was, he would let her spread her wings and explore, to be that “eternal youth”; if not, he would handle the paperwork for her to return to the city. Whether she joined the military or worked in a factory, the family would naturally arrange her life properly.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense for him to have dedicated his life to serving the country while failing to properly take care of his only child.

Bringing Jiao Jiao back to the city was urgent. For a young girl, one wrong step could lead to lifelong regret!

Although Ning Boyuan was disappointed that his daughter had grown up to be a delicate flower in a greenhouse rather than a towering tree, ultimately, he couldn’t let his flower be battered by the wind and rain on the barren plains.

“You stay in the county and handle the paperwork.”

Ning Boyuan’s face no longer showed anger. He quickly made a decision and said to the orderly, “After the college entrance exam, bring her back directly!”
