Moonbyul turned to the voice source and saw Solar with a worried expression on her face. He put on a smile. "It's fine. It's just a simple bout of sparring. Your father is still inside." He then turned around and looked at the door.
Solar's father covered an eye as he walked out while groaning.
"Father! What happened?"
Solar's father took a deep breath as Solar touched his shoulder. He took her hand away and said, "Don't touch me for now. It's painful... You there, you're really serious, huh? Aren't you afraid that I won't let my daughter marry you after being so rough with me?"
While he sounded like he was complaining, he seemed pretty satisfied.
What an unexpected turn of events!
Solar's father was a simple man. Through and through a martial arts maniac, it was very easy to deal with him. One just had to beat him down until he admitted defeat.
"Father-in-law, you're the one who didn't admit defeat earlier. You said that you won't let Solar marry me if I can't beat you, so I have to do it for my wife!" Moonbyul smiled as he touched his nose, and at the same time, he was observing Solar's reaction.
She just rolled her eyes at him, obviously unhappy about this.
Moonbyul felt defeated. What did he do wrong?
He had only given her father a few punches and a bruise just above his left eye which would be fine in a few days...
"You've really done it now!" She got annoyed at Moonbyul after checking her father's injuries, yet her father stopped her.
"Alright, alright! Don't get angry now. It's fine. He's pretty good and he has the spirit of a warrior. Let's talk when we get back home. Your mother should be done with the cooking."
Solar calmed down and glared at Moonbyul, who cleared his throat and shot her an innocent glance, before just following behind her without saying a word.
The martial arts center was not that far away from the Ji Residence. It was just a few streets away.
Solar's father went to grab some ointment for his injuries while Moonbyul and Solar went back first.
They did not talk to each other on the way back as Moonbyul just walked beside Solar silently.
As they were arriving at the house, Solar suddenly stopped and glared at Moonbyul as she accused bitterly, "You're pretty rough despite my father's old age, huh?"
Moonbyul was stunned for a moment when he saw her angry expression. However, he soon grinned. "Don't worry. I controlled myself and I'm pretty sure he's fine. Aren't you worried that your father might beat me up? He hits pretty hard too. I know since I took several of his punches."
"He's just trying to test you." Solar avoided his question.
"Fine, I know you're unhappy about it. It's my fault. I'm sorry."
Solar glanced at Moonbyul. "Whatever. At least, my father approves of you. Let's head back now."
...
Moonbyul had an enjoyable lunch at the Ji Residence. Chen Ling was very warm towards him and made some small talk during the meal. Moonbyul answered each and every question she asked, so she was very pleased with her new son-in-law.
Solar's father summoned Moonbyul to the study room after lunch while Solar and her mother cleared up.
Inside Solar's room, Solar sat down on the sofa as she stared at her mother who was packing her clothes for her.
"It'll be different once you get married. You should've told us you're in a relationship with Moonbyul. Then, your father and I wouldn't have been so worried about you."
Chen Ling put a stack of folded clothes into Solar's suitcase, saying in a gentle voice, "I think Moonbyul is a sweet guy. He's quite an understanding person. After meeting his grandfather and sister some time ago, his family should be pretty easygoing."
"You haven't lived with his family before. How would you know?" Solar looked downwards and asked quietly.
Chen Ling smiled. "I guess you wouldn't know, huh? Observing someone's behavior can tell us something about how they were raised. However, I didn't expect it would be the Lee family. They are one of the most prestigious families in our city. I hope you'll do fine with your new married life. No matter what, they are of high social status, but it seems like they don't really care about the differences between us."
Chen Ling was still a traditional woman after all. She did feel it was better to find someone of the same social status, especially ever since the Dong family humiliated Solar. Although no one ever mentioned this in front of Solar ever again, it did hurt her.
"Don't worry, Solar. Moonbyul seems a lot better than Dong Wentao. The Lee family is a well-known family, unlike the Dong family. Plus, Moonbyul seems to be very nice to you. Try to get along with his family, alright? You need to be more easygoing after becoming someone's wife. Please think properly before you act. Be considerate of him as well whenever there's an argument, okay?"
Chen Ling knew her daughter very well, hence her advice.
Solar listened quietly and did not say anything. Her eyes turned cold the moment the Dong family was mentioned, but her expression soon returned to normal.
