I Became the Mother of His Child-Chapter 507: I Will Treat You Well

"You're still young; there's no rush to date," Zhao Nan said with a sudden frown of concern, masking his true thoughts as he spoke.

He had grown accustomed to pursuing life swiftly, firmly, and ruthlessly, and had begun to calculate how to gradually charm the young girl into his arms. But when he heard her mention wanting to date in college, his plans were extinguished by reality's cold water. It was then he realized that no matter how beautiful his thoughts were, the young girl was ultimately just over twenty years old—like a flower just blooming, delicate and exceptionally outstanding. She must be very popular at school, surrounded by boys who were as fierce as wolves at that age, buzzing around her constantly.

Considering this, Zhao Nan suddenly felt that it was not a good age for the girl. Moreover, he could see that she was still very innocent and lacked much experience with relationships. What if some boy with a silver tongue tricked her? If he wanted to keep her close, he would certainly need to put in considerable effort. He didn't mind spending plenty of time on her, but of everything he lacked, he had the least time. As a soldier, he was not free most of the time, and he didn't even have the privilege to squander it as he pleased.

"Am I still young?" Song Chenxi retorted, "But my mom fully supports me dating in college! She says, a college life without romance is not youth." Xu Xiuxiu's biggest regret was not having a passionate romance in college, even if it would have ended in heartbreak. To her, having had youth and being able to cry with laughter and laugh with tears in memory was the best interpretation of youth.

Because of her own regrets, she didn't interfere too much with her three children's romantic lives. However, Song Chengguang was already of age with no sign of activity in that department. Xu Xiuxiu thought that early romance and marriage should start from college. When the boy and girl twins were done with their college entrance exams and about to step into university life, Xu Xiuxiu earnestly told them to fully indulge in dating and splurge their youth in college, because if they didn't, they would all be old soon.

Her second brother, Song Chenhao, clearly didn't need their mother's worries; the guy had Liu Yuming by his side even before graduating from high school. Therefore, Song Chenxi felt quite anxious about her own unsorted love life, but there were not many who caught her eye. After all, she had her standards—they had to be taller, handsomer, someone who could handle her temper, and someone who could cater to her whims.

"..." Zhao Nan was somewhat speechless at the girl's reply.

Facing Aunt Xu Xiu, who had more modern thinking, he could only admit that he was somewhat caught off guard. After all, he never expected Xu Xiuxiu to support her children in fully squandering their youth. Song Yuanhuan, too, didn't feel the need to intervene. Heaven knows how much Song Yuanhuan found his three kids to be an eyesore and wished they'd settle their big life events sooner so he could finally have peace of mind to accompany his wife.

Otherwise, they would all be like his eldest son, headache-inducing for him, as the young man was getting on in years and still unmarried, making Xu Xiuxiu anxious and frustrated!

"You also have to find someone with responsibility to date! The boys in your school are all greenhorns; they're not yet mature. Plus, many of your generation are only children, spoiled at home and more stubborn than anyone. If you ended up with such a boyfriend, you're bound to suffer," Zhao Nan decided to disparage those possible suitors that might appear before Song Chenxi from the side.

That would be too glaringly obvious, and the girl would surely be repelled!

"That's true!" Song Chenxi actually found Zhao Nan's words reasonable and nodded in agreement.

She did look down on the male students at her school who were immature and troublesome. If they pursued her, after one rejection, they would persist relentlessly, as if determined to keep going until she accepted them. Heaven knows, if she accepted every suitor, she would be at her wit's end, even with all her efforts.

But when she voiced her rejection, they all seemed to be unaffected, as if they couldn't even understand her refusal, which was incredibly annoying!

"But I do want to date!" Song Chenxi thought, feeling unconsciously dejected. She puffed her cheeks and pursed her lips.

Having been surrounded by plenty of males since childhood, she had never had a real romantic relationship. She had received a ton of love letters, all of which somehow felt very strange. Even though she had always felt superior since a young age, she still had moments of girlish sentimentality, especially during holidays at home. She was deeply hurt by the sight of her loving parents. After witnessing their affection, she really wanted to find a man like her father Song Yuanhuan, someone reliable, doting, handsome, passionate—all in all, just an incredibly good man—and experience a romantic relationship, to enjoy the emotions between a man and a woman. Otherwise, she felt as if she suffered ten thousand points of damage each time. Being one of only two females in the family, she felt truly stifled.

"Squeak—" Zhao Nan's car, which was driving slowly, suddenly stopped. He turned his head to look at Song Chenxi.

"What, what's wrong?" Song Chenxi unveiled a hint of panic on her face, then looked with bewilderment at Zhao Nan, who had suddenly hit the brakes beside her. There wasn't even a red light up ahead!

"What do you think of me?" Zhao Nan leaned in toward Song Chenxi, his chiseled face full of seriousness. His deliberately slowed inquiry was like a rumble from a subwoofer.

Song Chenxi felt her cheeks burn, and it took a good long while before she spoke: "You... you're quite nice!" The young girl answered awkwardly, her hands tightening around Mini Huang in her embrace. If it weren't for Mini Huang's protesting bark, Song Chenxi might have lost control and squeezed Mini Huang unconscious.

Why did she feel so nervous facing his question at that moment?

"Really quite nice?" Zhao Nan asked again, worried that the young girl was just being polite.

"Yes!" Song Chenxi nodded earnestly: "Really, quite nice!"

"Then would you like to try dating me?" Zhao Nan continued, dropping the bombshell.

"...Ah!" Song Chenxi was completely taken aback, her lips parting slightly in surprise and confusion at Zhao Nan's words.

"I will treat you well, spoil you, care for you, shelter you from the rain with an umbrella, carry your bag when we go out, and be at your beck and call anytime, anywhere... you can summon or dismiss me as you wish..." Zhao Nan began his seduction with a passionate plea, perhaps it's a man's nature—when he's truly interested in a woman, his words flow as if they were honey-coated.

"..." Song Chenxi continued to be stunned, astounded by the pursuit of this man she had met for the first time that very day. It seemed their meeting hadn't even lasted ten minutes, right? Right? Right?
