Shennong Dad: I have a system to unlock it for me!

"Well, Hughes has been taking care of me since I came to Country Y."

"Then you should like him very much, I heard that Hughes is very interested in you."

Hughes, who was not very calm at first, became even more restless when he heard this. He actually knew the situation between himself and Bai Ling, but he couldn't reveal that cruel side no matter what.

So he can only try his best to grasp the illusory beauty in front of him, but today this beauty seems to be coming to an end.

Hughes looked at Bai Ling nervously, not knowing which side to stand for for a while, although he really wanted to hear an affirmative answer with his own ears, but it was almost impossible. Once Bai Ling remained silent or refused, he felt that the pain would be unbearable. bear.

"...Mom, do you still need to ask such a question?"

He smiled stiffly, still choosing to maintain his false dream.

But Amanda became more dissatisfied, and the more her son defended her, the more she felt Bai Ling in front of her.

"Of course I have to ask. As far as I know, the relationship between the two of you is not very good. What do you think, Bai Ling?"

Sharply and cruelly lifted the last veil, Hughes only felt a sense of falling throughout his body, and he didn't even dare to look at Bai Ling with his eyes.

"Very good, I like Hughes."

The red lips parted slightly, and Bai Ling's answer made Hughes ecstatic, but Amanda was not very satisfied. If you like it, you like it, and if you don't like it, you don't like it. It's nothing to say that someone likes it.

But seeing her son's excited expression, she decided to temporarily suppress the dissatisfaction in her heart.

"Well, as long as you like it, I just hope that your relationship will not be like the outside rumors."

Bai Ling nodded, seemingly acknowledging the relationship between the two and denying the rumors from the outside world.

Hughes happily clenched her hands, his eyes full of excitement and excitement.

"Bai Ling, why don't we pick a time to get married! I will definitely give you the grandest wedding!"

"No."

Without Bai Ling saying a word, Amanda stopped him immediately, and reached out to grab her son's left hand.

Hughes was surprised at first, and then inevitably became angry and puzzled. He had prepared an engagement ring for an unknown amount of time in his left pocket, but now it was blocked by his mother himself.

"Why not? Mother, don't you already agree with Bai Ling?!"

"...I agree, I agree, but your father hasn't agreed, have you forgotten?"

Hughes' anger quickly calmed down, but he was still a little impatient, because Bai Ling wanted to return to her own country, and if nothing stopped her, it would be too late when she left.

"I understand, but don't you agree? Father will definitely listen to you, and it's just a marriage proposal now."

"It's just a marriage proposal? It's not that simple to propose. It's not the time yet."

"Why?! You agreed to meet and agreed with my choice, why can't you let me make a simple marriage proposal first?!"

Hughes' emotions were a little out of control. He didn't understand what his mother was doing. This was completely pushing his own happiness away.

Amanda didn't care about him, but looked at Bai Ling. The girl still had a calm face, her soft smile was the most perfect mask, and she didn't say a few words from the beginning to the end, but let her son desperately protect her. looking at her.

"Bai Ling, why don't you hide for a while? Hughes and I have something to talk about."

"Well, everything is up to you."

Bai Ling smiled, slowly got up and left gracefully.

Hughes looked at her beautiful back, and the obsession in his eyes was completely undisguised. This is the perfect lover he has been looking for, gentle, elegant, dignified, and brilliant, but unfortunately it is destined not to be his.

Amanda looked at her son in disappointment. She waved her hand, and all the servants around left quickly, and closed the floor-to-ceiling windows to leave an undisturbed space for the mother and son.

As soon as everyone left, Hughes couldn't suppress his anger at all.

"Mother, why can't you agree? Father's approval is not important at all, and it was one of my plans to propose here. Why did you interrupt?"

"Even now, you still dismiss Bai Ling, what if you leave a bad impression in her heart?"

Seeing her son chattering in front of her face, Amanda picked up the cup and tasted it, looking out at the lush woods and the vast lake.

This situation lasted for a while, and Hughes managed to calm down. Seeing that his mother didn't listen at all, he could only walk to the balcony and sulk.

"Just like your father, you can't help being noisy when you encounter things."

"It's better to make noise than to do nothing!"

Amanda came to her son's side. She was well maintained and looked like Hughes' sister.

"That's what you say, but don't you understand yourself?"

"Don't understand what?"

Hughes' eyes began to dodge, he didn't know where to look to dissipate the inexplicable panic in his heart.

"Then let me tell you, Bai Ling doesn't like you at all, all the good things he does to you are all out of guilt, without the slightest feeling."

"……impossible!"

"Sigh... You must be clear about it, but you just don't want to accept it. Since she sat here, she hasn't said a few words at all, and she even gave a vague answer to the word "I like you."

"No, that's not it!! She said she liked me! She did!!"

"Yeah, I said it out of helplessness and pressure. Otherwise, do you think that with her intelligence, she would give such a stupid answer that I don't like it in the situation just now? Everything is just coping, my child. "

"Impossible, it won't be like this..."

The dream dissipated, the reality was revealed, and Hughes' pupils began to tremble. He didn't want to believe all of this, let alone face it, but his mother's words pierced his heart side by side.

"I started talking about your old stories just to test Bai Ling. It's a pity that she didn't respond at all, not even the slightest change in expression."

"When I started talking, if she really liked you, she would definitely show it instead of smiling lightly. At that time, I was still thinking that maybe she was cold-tempered, but later I felt something was wrong."

"When you choked on drinking water, she didn't respond at all. Is this the attitude a woman should have towards the man she likes? Even if she didn't react at first, when you see my mother, you two Even when the elder wiped it for you, she still hasn't changed in any way."

Hughes' forehead was throbbing with veins, and he was clutching the balcony tightly with both hands. At this moment, even he himself didn't know what emotion to express.

"She... she's just cold-tempered..."
