Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1436

But before Song Yan could say anything, Su Lide raised his hand to stop him and said, "Doctor Song, my family is very grateful for your help and concern toward my daughter. But if your concern makes your mother unhappy, then perhaps we shouldn't trouble you with Lanying's matters anymore."

As soon as he said this, Song Yan's face turned pale and he quickly said, "Uncle Su, I can explain everything to my mother. I promise she won't come to bother Lanying or your family again."

Just as he said this, Su Jian asked, "Doctor Song, you and my sister…are you two in a relationship?"

When Song Yan heard this, he didn't know how to reply. After a long silence, he finally said, "Brother Jian, we are not."

After a pause, he continued, "But I like Lanying and I have the intention to marry her. I'm serious about her."

Hearing this, both Su Lide and Su Jian were shocked. They exchanged glances before Su Jian said, "But my sister's health is unsuitable for having a baby. With your family's background, it will be hard for them to accept my sister."

Song Yan nodded and replied, "Brother Jian, I'm a doctor. I understand Lanying's condition very well. But even so, I like her, and I want to be with her."

"I know it might sound absurd since we have only known each other for a short time and rarely interacted. Yet, when I heard the villagers speaking ill of her, I felt angry. When I heard someone wanted a blind date with her, I felt anxious and worried."

"I might have only realized my feelings recently, but I know I have liked her since the moment I first met her at my teacher's house. I can't stop thinking about her, let alone stay away from her."

After he finished, he stood up and bowed to Su Lide as he said, "Uncle Su, please give me permission to be with Lanying. I will do my best to protect her and won't let anyone hurt her—not even my own family or myself."

Just after he said this, Meng Qiaoping entered the living room holding a pot of porridge.

Placing it on the table, she looked at Song Yan and said, "Doctor Song, it's not that our family dislikes you. But your family and ours have a vast difference in status and situation."

"Being with my daughter might bring you more harm than happiness. Since we all understand the hardships and consequences of this relationship, why force it?" she added.

Song Yan was unwilling to give up and replied, "Aunt Su, how will I know how it ends if I don't even start? Even if the outcome isn't what I hope for, I would rather take the risk than live the rest of my life with regret."

"This is the first time my heart has truly beat for someone. I don't want to give up without trying. I know my words may seem empty now, so please give me a chance to prove myself."

When he finished, the room fell into silence. Time ticked by slowly, and the atmosphere grew tense and awkward. Just when Song Yan thought he wouldn't gain their permission, Su Lanying walked out of the bedroom with a pale face.
