Huang's mother usually had the upper hand, but when her husband made a decision, she generally knew to back down. Even if dissatisfied, she wouldn't say anything more. She would just clear the bowls and chopsticks and leave.
Only the father and son remained. Huang's father finally spoke earnestly, "Xiaojue, are you absolutely set on Yan Xixi?"
Huang Xiaojue replied decisively, "I'm absolutely going to marry her."
Huang's father pondered for a moment. "You're not a child anymore. Marriage is a serious matter that requires careful consideration. Regarding Yan Xixi, your mother and I feel the same way—we aren't particularly fond of her. However, if you insist, we will respect your choice. As for your mother, I'll try to reason with her on your behalf."
Huang Xiaojue was genuinely grateful. "Thanks, Dad."
