In the study, Shao Chengzhi sought out Shao Xingbang for a talk.
"What's going on between you and Ji Man? I could tell something's been off these past two days!"
At first, Shao Xingbang tried to brush off Shao Chengzhi, "Nothing at all! Dad! You're overthinking it!"
He didn't want to spoil the old man's mood during the New Year's celebration.
Because he knew all too well how much his father longed for him to get a girlfriend, marry, and have children.
Shao Chengzhi frowned and chided him, "Don't give me that young man! I sensed something was wrong since the second day you two returned. I thought you lovers were just having a spat and it would be resolved quickly, so I didn't ask.
I'm neither deaf nor blind, don't try to fool me! What exactly happened?"
Shao Xingbang dodged the question, "Dad! The way you discipline, your presence is as formidable as ever!"
Shao Chengzhi wasn't buying it, "Spit it out! Stop beating around the bush!"
