Chapter 472: Chapter 472 She Made Him Feel Ashamed

He Zheng was taken aback, his brows furrowed, "You’re not being sincere, Si Ran?"

Si Ran took a deep breath, calming the flutter in her heart, "It’s not about sincerity, and you don’t have to joke with me."

"You think this is a joke?" He Zheng’s tone had already sunk, he couldn’t be more serious.

Si Ran was a bit overwhelmed but still said, "Even if you’re sincere and want to get a marriage certificate with me, have you sought your parents’ consent?"

He Zheng was rendered speechless by the question.

Si Ran gave a bitter smile, "You know very well what kind of daughter-in-law your parents want. If you have enough confidence, you’d openly inform your parents instead of secretly planning to get the marriage certificate with me.

Perhaps you think once the deed is done, it becomes an unchangeable fact.

But I think, given your father’s temper, he won’t spare you, let alone me. By then, both you and I will be physically and mentally exhausted, and eventually, resentment will grow.

President He, is this your sincerity?"

It was the first time He Zheng heard Si Ran speak so many words in one go, and her tone was calm and composed, yet every word was so weighty that He Zheng instantly felt ashamed.

Those words struck his heart, leaving him speechless.

Because he knew, Si Ran was very rational.

Acting first and reporting later isn’t solving the problem.

If they really got married, the old man would definitely blame everything on Si Ran, thinking it was her fault.

That way, even if Si Ran were truly with him, she’d become the target of public criticism, and the entire He Family would give her the cold shoulder.

This indeed isn’t a good idea.

"President He, I don’t believe you haven’t thought this through carefully. You must have thought about it in your heart.

Rationally speaking, this behavior is unacceptable, yet you’ve said it twice, seemingly sincere, but it puts me at a disadvantage, so, forgive me for not agreeing, and for being unable to agree."

Si Ran stopped avoiding and spoke seriously at length, "I want to date openly, wait until the relationship naturally develops, then meet each other’s parents, rather than doing something rash on impulse."

"I understand." He Zheng finally spoke, "I didn’t consider it thoroughly."

Si Ran pursed her lips as if thinking for a while, finally saying again, "President He, I always thought you were teasing me, joking with me, not really liking me, saying things just to conquer me, the little secretary."

"And now?" He Zheng asked back, "Do you still think so?"

Si Ran shook her head, "Maybe you do want to be with me, and have some feelings for me."

He Zheng nodded, "I do like you. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t waste time like this. I don’t have the time or disposition to waste on a woman I don’t like for years."

Si Ran was stunned, looking at him, speechless.

Since when has it been years?

"You don’t have to doubt it; it really has been years." He Zheng said, "You’ve been Liyan’s secretary for these years, haven’t I always been teasing you?"

Si Ran thought about it herself, it seemed to be true.

Indeed, she had been teased for years.

"You haven’t even said you like me." Si Ran was speechless; if he doesn’t say he likes her, how can she know?

"I just said it." He Zheng replied.

Si Ran said, "Half a minute ago, okay."

"Then what are you thinking?" He Zheng asked.

Si Ran hesitated for a moment, then asked, "If you really like me, why not seek your father’s opinion? Would a relationship with someone like me, an ordinary girl, be interfered with if marriage is the premise?"

He Zheng was stunned, indeed not expecting Si Ran to make such a request, but at the same time, it made He Zheng clearly feel that Si Ran was serious about it.

He was immediately delighted, "Of course, I can seek the old man’s opinion. You’re right, I should show sincerity. Since this is the sincerity you want, I’ll do as you ask."

"Thank you." Si Ran said sincerely.

He Zheng laughed, "It’s what I should do; this is good, at least I know what’s on your mind."

Si Ran also laughed, feeling much relieved after speaking her mind.

She finally didn’t have to worry anymore, didn’t have to think so much.

Quickly, they arrived downstairs at the Pei Family building.

He Zheng parked the car, and Si Ran got out.

He Zheng said, "Si Ran, your father doesn’t live with you, does he?"

Si Ran stiffened but still nodded, "Yes, I hid this from you, my dad didn’t stay with me that night."

He Zheng laughed; he had already guessed it.

Seeing him smiling at her, Si Ran also smiled a little, "Sorry for lying to you."

He Zheng was quite helpless and didn’t argue with her, just said, "I understand your feelings, agreeing with me was an act of bravery, and deceiving me was because you’re still hesitating, not sure if I can bring you happiness."

He expressed his thoughts, and Si Ran pressed her lips tight, remaining silent.

He Zheng said, "Don’t worry, before that box of stuff expires, I’ll strive to openly live together with you."

Si Ran’s face blushed instantly, "I’m going upstairs, bye."

He watched the girl’s flushed face, and dotingly smiled, "Alright, go on up."

Si Ran turned her back to him and quickly went upstairs.

He Zheng watched her figure disappear before driving away.

The He Family.

Returning to the company, He Zheng first went upstairs to find his father.

He Liangping saw He Zheng come in and said, "You weren’t at the company at noon, where did you go?"

"Had lunch with Liyan and Qiao Rui." He Zheng replied, "What’s up?"

"Oh, having lunch with them, eh?" He Liangping’s voice immediately softened, "That Qiao Rui is indeed impressive, so young yet with such a presence. It’s really odd, a girl raised in the countryside with such a strong aura."

"What’s wrong with the countryside?" He Zheng couldn’t help but retort, "Dad, I really don’t like hearing you say such discriminatory things, a hero doesn’t care about their background, greatness can come from humble origins."

"Though it’s said that way, things are different now," He Liangping said, "Without a good background, most of the time, they can’t make it to the forefront."

"Tsk!" He Zheng sneered, "Dad, when you say things like that, I’m really disdainful."

"I know what you want to say," He Liangping glanced at his son, "You want to find an ordinary girl’s daughter, that’s impossible; my He Family’s heir must find someone of equal status."

"What exactly is your ’equal status’?" He Zheng immediately asked, "Give me a specific requirement because I really don’t understand what you mean by equal status."

"Of course, it means a wealthy family’s daughter."

"How filthy," He Zheng scoffed.

He Liangping was so angry that he closed his eyes, "What nonsense are you speaking? I meant a prestigious family’s daughter."

"Oh, I thought you meant something else," He Zheng said with a half-smile, "I was thinking your taste was quite heavy."

"Get out!" He Liangping swore in anger.
