1753 There Is No Wrong In Liking Someone
Long Yin knew his parents had something to say to him.

However, the first thing his father said had nothing to do with him, but he praised Hexin instead.
As he listened to his parents heaping praises upon Hexin back and forth, he found himself agreeing with their words.

Hexin may be young, but she was a very understanding and caring person.

She had actually wanted the steamed bass during dinner, but she was trying to help him out of the awkward situation.

Moreover, she has always made others feel comfortable with the things she did and would never let others feel burdened when receiving her help.

However, it was clear that his parents were purposely praising Hexin at that point.

He frowned.

Long Yin was no idiot. He understood what they were trying to tell him.

“Father, Mother…” He had just spoken up when Long Yang cut him off. “Long Yin, do you really like Xue’er that much?”

Long Yin was taken aback. He did not expect his father to ask him this question so directly.

However, he did not hesitate and nodded. “Yes.”

“There is no wrong in liking someone, but I’ve seen for myself just now that your Cousin Xue’er does not feel the same way. Do you realize that?” Long Yang went straight to the point without considering Long Yin’s pride.

Long Yin pressed his thin lips together and was silent before finally saying, “I do.”

“Why do try to force it when she does not reciprocate your feelings?” Long Yang sighed. He could not help remembering how he had chased after Weiwei relentlessly when he was younger. She had made it clear she wanted to reject him back then, but he was not willing to give her up. However, it was also because there was no one else in Weiwei’s heart back then. It was completely different from the current situation with Lu Xue.

Despite the young girl not truly understanding what love was, it was easy to tell that she admired and liked Wanyan Zhi.

It would be pointless for his son to continue forcing things if this was the situation.

“Cousin Xue’er is still young and doesn’t know much about life. I’m confident that she would eventually reciprocate my feelings,” Long Yin said firmly after being silent for a while. There was a young man’s stubbornness in his attitude.

Long Yin chuckled. “This is misplaced confidence. You’ve grown up together and have spent quite a lot of time with each other. She hasn’t felt the same way for you during all this time and there’s a chance it might not change down the road.”

Lu Liangwei broke out in sweat. Was it necessary for Long Yang to be so blunt? Was he not worried about hurting their son’s pride?

Before Long Yang said anything even more hurtful, she quickly said, “Yin’er, what your father is trying to say is that Xue’er treats you like an older brother. Just an older brother, understand?”

Lu Liangwei looked at her tall, handsome son, and suddenly felt a little sad for him.

She got up and walked toward him. She held his hand and advised him in a gentle voice, “The one thing that you should never force in this world is love. You don’t need to be troubled by this or let it consume you. You’re still young. You’ll meet someone better for you in the future, and it will be a girl who reciprocates your feelings.”

Long Yin lowered his eyes and looked at his mother. He suddenly said, “You don’t seem to agree to me marrying Xue’er either.”

Lu Liangwei was taken aback and surprised by how sharp her son was.

She gave a light cough. “Why would you think that?”

“Just tell me if that is true.”

When she realized she could not hide it from her son, Lu Liangwei decided not to beat around the bush. “You’re right. I don’t approve of it.”

Long Yin still felt astonished when he heard his mother admit it. “Why?”
