Mr. Ning and Mrs. Ning kept holding Ning Shi Hua's hand, urging her to change her mind.
"It's our fault, we shouldn't have forced you into marriage... Let's just go with the flow from now on, okay?" Mrs. Ning thought about the good marriage prospect her daughter would have at the age of forty-two, which they had ruined due to their impatience as parents. It pained her deeply.
Ning Shihua kept her head down and remained silent.
Going with the flow sounded good, but if a few years passed and she still hadn't gotten married, her parents would surely pressure her again... Their idea of going with the flow was based on the assumption that she might get married at forty-two.
She sighed and looked up at her parents, saying, "I can't guarantee anything to you. I can only tell you that I don't reject the idea of marriage. If fate allows, I will get married and have children. But if there is no fate, don't blame me. If you can't accept that, let's just cut ties."
"How can you say that!" Mrs. Ning became desperate, tears streaming down her face. "How can you say such things? We've worked so hard to raise you..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Ning Shihua interrupted her, "Consider me unfilial, I'm sorry."
She didn't want to argue with her parents anymore. The two generations had completely different beliefs, and they would never be able to convince each other.
Shen Ye thought for a moment and used his techniques to shield Mr. Ning and Mrs. Ning's perception. He said to Ning Shihua, "I just said it's too late to scare your parents. Everyone's destiny can change. Your marriage line is indeed blurry now, but if you want to get married, there is still a possibility that the marriage line will reappear. In other words, you still have hope for marriage in the future. If you don't want to break ties with your parents, you can tell them the actual situation and let them hold onto hope."
Ning Shihua remained silent for a long time and shook her head. "Forget it. I'm afraid that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. If I don't get married even after a long time, will they intensify their pressure? What if they resort to desperate measures? I believe my parents are capable of that, and I don't know how to deal with it..."
Shen Ye shrugged. "There is another option. I can use my techniques to make them never mention marriage again."
Ning Shihua was taken aback.
If that were possible, she would certainly feel much lighter, and the conflict with her parents would be alleviated. However, it seemed somewhat cruel to her parents if she were to do that.
She couldn't make up her mind for a moment.
Shen Ye didn't rush her and said, "Take your time to think about it. When you've made up your mind, you can contact me anytime."
In fact, for parents like Mr. Ning and Mrs. Ning, who were so persistent in pressuring their children to get married, the greatest revenge was to let their children remain single for a lifetime.
However, many children yielded to their parents' nagging and pressure and ended up getting married.
Besides, it seemed foolish to remain single just for the sake of revenge against parents, so in most cases, parents ultimately succeeded.
Shen Ye handed the decision-making power to Ning Shihua. After all, this was the conflict between Ning Shihua and her parents, and he, as an outsider, couldn't intervene.
He held Ye Ze's hand, glanced at Ning Shihua, and changed the subject, saying, "My husband and I are planning to return to the imperial capital. What about you? Are you planning to stay here or go back to Hai Cheng?"
