Having already taken the first step, Song Yan decided to go all in. It was better to be upfront than to leave room for misunderstanding.
Clenching his fists, he said, "Uncle Su, Aunt Su, I like Lanying and want to ask for your permission to be with her. If possible, I hope to marry her after her recovery."
"What?!"
This time, the shock hit them even harder than the news about the treatment.
"This… this—"
Meng Qiaoping was so stunned she couldn't even speak. She just stared wide-eyed at her daughter and Song Yan.
Su Lanying glanced at the man sitting beside her and let out a quiet sigh. She met her parent's gaze and said, "Mother, Father, I haven't accepted Doctor Song's confession."
Hearing that, Song Yan's eyes widened and he quickly turned to her.
"Lanying, didn't you just agree to be with me? Why are you saying you haven't accepted it now?" he asked.
"Doctor Song, I only asked about your intentions. I haven't accepted your confession," Su Lanying replied calmly.
