Qiao Jing's rejection left Ye Nanxing deeply shaken.
He looked like a withered eggplant, his expression deflated, visibly dejected.
Mother Ye also felt a bit awkward and quickly said, "Sorry, I was too abrupt. Let's eat first, or the food will get cold."
Father Ye stepped in to smooth things over, "Doctor Jing Yun, please don't mind, Nanxing's mom was just casually asking."
"It's fine, I understand," Qiao Jing politely replied.
After that, no one brought up the previous topic again.
Qiao Jing asked some questions about the past, but Father Ye and Mother Ye knew little and basically got nothing from it.
After they finished dinner, Qiao Jing briefly said goodbye and left the Ye family with Song Jiaqi.
Seeing Ye Nanxing's disappointment, Mother Ye patted his shoulder and comforted him with some heartache, "Son, don't be too sad, matters of the heart are inherently hard to predict."
