However, no matter how restrained his aura is, it is still intimidating.

Neither Yu Jiao nor Mrs. Liu San expected that Cheng Ying would say such a thing, and the surprise on their faces was exactly the same.

Yu Jiao thought of what Cheng Ying said in the carriage, and only then realized that she was the unlucky one. How could she have deserved Cheng Ying's favor?

Mrs. Liu looked at Yu Jiao, asking her with her eyes what was going on.

Yu Jiao had no choice but to bite the bullet and politely declined, "Sir, please stop joking. Yuning doesn't dare to marry someone who is too high."

The smile on Cheng Ying's face faded, and her narrow and long eyes became gloomy. She sat at the top, staring at Yu Jiao for a long time, and threw the teacup in her hand on the table with a muffled sound.

"What? You don't want to? Or do you not want to recognize a eunuch like me as your godfather?" Cheng Ying's voice sank, with a hint of coercion.

Madam Liu immediately broke out in a cold sweat and said nervously, "The governor is so kind to us, our Yuning really can't afford it. She has been wandering outside for many years and finally came back to me and her father recently. We haven't had time to teach her the rules. She is used to being wild in the countryside and doesn't know the etiquette. I'm afraid she will offend the governor... If the governor wants to adopt a daughter, there are many girls who are more suitable than our Yuning."

Mrs. Liu said this stiffly. Seeing Cheng Ying's face turn completely gloomy, she dared not breathe for a moment and just wanted to ask someone to invite the old lady over.

Yu Jiao was also worried. She had seen Cheng Ying's mood swings before. She pinched her palms and wondered how she would get away if Cheng Ying got angry. It happened that her father was not at home at this time. If it really didn't work, she would have to acknowledge him as her adoptive father.

Suddenly Cheng Ying chuckled, "Isn't this great? With a foster father like me as her backer, who dares to scold her even if she doesn't know etiquette? It doesn't matter if she doesn't know the rules. I am not a person who follows the rules. I know that the lady pities Yuning because she is young and has not been raised by her side for these years. If she recognizes me as her foster father, wouldn't it be better to have one more person to love and spoil her in the future?"

Madam Liu was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. She clenched the handkerchief in her sweaty palm and said, "But my master is not here, so I cannot make the decision."

"You don't have to make the decision. I came here just to inform you." Cheng Ying said as a matter of course.

This man does things as he pleases, and no one can make him hesitate. In fact, no one can resist him.

Madam Liu's face turned pale. She already understood in her heart that Cheng Ying wanted to adopt Yu Jiao as her adopted daughter, which was something they could not refuse. Even if the master was in the mansion, if Cheng Ying insisted on doing so, they could not stop her.

"Didn't you just tell me that it would be a blessing if I could recognize you as my adopted daughter?" Cheng Ying stood up and walked to Yu Jiao. He raised his eyelids, looked cold and gloomy at Yu Jiao, "Are you lying to me? Do you know the consequences of lying to me?"

He stretched out two cold white fingers and pinched Yu Jiao's fair and delicate chin, forcing her to look up. His phoenix eyes looked directly into Yu Jiao's eyes, "Are you really unwilling?"

The two fingers pinching Yu Jiao's chin exerted a little force. Yu Jiao felt a little pain and frowned slightly. She looked into Cheng Ying's deep eyes. She felt very oppressed and said reluctantly, "Yu Ning is willing. I was just too happy before. I couldn't believe that the governor was willing to accept Yu Ning as his adopted daughter."

Cheng Ying seemed to be much more satisfied after hearing this. She loosened her fingers, turned around and sat back on the chair at the top, and urged, "Why don't you serve tea quickly?"

Yu Jiao took a deep breath, poured a cup of tea, and walked to Cheng Ying. She moved her lips for a long time before she called out with difficulty, "Godfather, have some tea."

Cheng Ying smiled, seeming to be very happy. He took the teacup from Yu Jiao and took a sip, then put it down, took off a blood-red ring from his thumb, and gave it to Yu Jiao. "I was in a hurry to go out today, and I didn't bring anything else with me. I'll take this as a token of my love. Since you are my adopted daughter, just tell me if you want anything in the future."
