Chapter 23: You Are The Type That My Dad Likes

For the next two days, mother An remorselessly gave Su Jian the silent treatment.

Fortunately, it wasn't long before father An who had been out of town for a while returned home.

An Yize's father, An Zonghai, was someone even Su Jian, who never really paid much attention to financial news, had heard of. Su Jian felt jealousy, envy, and hatred towards children of successful entrepreneurs like An Yize, but he worshiped first generation entrepreneurs like father An. He was currently An Yize's wife, father An's third daughter-in-law who wasn't well-liked by the mother-in-law. He didn't know how father An would treat him.

Su Jian wasn't afraid, but it gave him a headache. If father An didn't like him and opposed him being with An Yize, it would be a lot harder to deal with than mother An.

But after meeting father An, Su Jian slowly became disillusioned.

Father An was around sixty years old. He looked much younger, akin to a man in his early fifties and could be considered a silver fox. He also doted on mother An. Su Jian finally realized where mother An's girlish personality came from.

It was even more surprising to Su Jian that father An treated him kindly. Not only did he give him an expensive present, but he also asked about his health considerately. He was gentle and kind, completely fulfilling the role of a loving father-in-law.

Su Jian was shocked. Before bed that night he exclaimed to An Yize, "It seems like your dad really likes me!"

An Yize responded, "You are the type that my dad likes."

Su Jian's heart skipped a beat. "I'm the type...that your dad likes?"

An Yize said with chagrin, "The type of daughter he likes! My dad likes daughters!"

Su Jian was astonished. After thinking for a moment, he said, "No wonder your family has three boys and a girl. Was it because your father wanted a daughter yet kept having boys so they kept having children?"

An Yize grimaced slightly in silent acknowledgment.

Full of curiosity, Su Jian said, "Your dad likes girls like me? It seems I'm very likable!"

An Yize gave him a silent stare. "Your looks fulfill what he hopes for in a daughter."

Great minds think alike! Su Jian thought. I also feel like Su-girly's looks match what I'd hope for in a daughter! Of course, they also match what I'd wish for in my daughter's mother!

A moment later, Su Jian came to a realization. He angrily interrogated, "What do you mean my looks match?" You An-surnamed guy! Don't assume I don't understand that you're saying my personality is lacking in a roundabout way!

As usual, An Yize looked at him silently: "My dad likes clever and obedient daughters."

Su Jian blurted, "Aren't I clever and obedient?"

An Yize: "......"

After Su Jian's outburst, he realized what he had blurted out and felt a little awkward. Right when he was about to change the subject, An Yize emotionlessly answered,

"Yes, clever and obedient."

Su Jian: "......"

Even though Su Jian felt beautiful and intelligent both inside and out, An Yize's opinion was thoroughly shocking. In order to stop the mysterious warming of his face, Su Jian hurriedly searched for a new conversation topic.

"Then, Yize, do you prefer a son or a daughter?"

An Yize silently looked again: "A daughter."

"Oh." Su Jian asked insipidly, "What kind of daughter?"
