The matter with Jin Fengnan has been resolved, but the secret that served as the exchange, Karen's secret, has yet to be revealed. She looked nervously at her brother sitting across from her, fearing he would retaliate by telling their parents about her romantic relationship. But she was overthinking it; even by the end of dinner, Jin Fengnan hadn't said a word.
After dinner, Karen pulled him aside, "Thank you for not telling mom and dad about my relationship."
Jin Fengnan stuffed his hands in his pockets and tilted his head, looking at her, "This isn't done for free; I have conditions too."
"What conditions?"
"Let me meet him first." Jin Fengnan said, "It's fine if you don't want to tell the parents, but letting your brother vet him isn't a problem, right?"
