Tian Zi Xiong was very happy to see Tian Ye do this. He laughed heartily, “Tian Ye, you and Xiao Shuang should get along well. Look, what a good girl Xiao Shuang is. Don’t let her down.” After speaking, Tian Zi Xiong lowered his head to look at Si Xiao Shuang sitting beside him, seeing her face slightly red, turning away.
Tian Ye hummed a laugh, turned his head, and looked at his father, saying, “Dad, I want to focus on my career, not marriage.” Though Tian Ye’s words seemed casual, the moment he spoke, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.
Tian Zixiong could sense that this conversation would not go well. He signaled with his eyes, and all the people who had come to welcome the young master dispersed, gently closing the door and leaving the hall.
Tian Zixiong turned his head with a slightly stern expression, saying, “It’s good that you want to pursue a career, and I support you, but getting married to Xiao Shuang won’t affect that.” After speaking, Tian Zixiong secretly glanced at Si Xiao Shuang, who was now hanging her head like a frost-beaten eggplant, looking dejected.
Tian Ye would never forget Mei Yu, even if they would never meet again, even if he could foresee that under his father’s pressure, he would likely marry Si Xiao Shuang in the future. In fact, for Tian Ye, marrying anyone was irrelevant. His heart was already buried underground with Mei Yu. Future life for him would be mechanical, automated. There would be no happiness or beauty, perhaps only gazing at the sky and listening to the sound of the sea.
Tian Ye leaned back on the sofa, tilting his body, and said, “I think Hui is quite suitable for Si Xiao Shuang.”
Tian Zixiong was both shocked and angry. His son marrying Si Kun’s daughter would be such a successful plan, like a business merger, a strong alliance. How could he let an outsider interfere? He turned to Tian Ye and said sternly, “You little brat, what joke are you making? Xiao Shuang is right here. If you ever bully her, I’ll beat you.” Then Tian Zixiong turned to the already flushed Si Xiao Shuang and laughed, “Xiao Shuang, don’t mind him. Tian Ye is just joking.”
