The affair between Ning Qing and Bai Hao finally came to an end on a dark and windy night when Ning Qing was caught red-handed by Bai Hao's father, Ms. Yang, who was out for a walk.

Then he was taken away by his father, who had a serious and solemn expression, for questioning.

Bai Hao, who was in the room, heard the noise and sensed something was wrong. He hurriedly followed the sound to the study.

In the study, Mr. Bai and Mrs. Yang sat in a chair, looking at the two people standing in front of them with serious expressions.

Mr. Bai rubbed his temples and slowly asked.

"Which of you two will speak first?"

Ning Qing spoke first.

"Let me speak."

Mr. Bai nodded, "Alright, you can speak."

Ning Qing held Bai Hao's hand tightly.

"I believe you've noticed something amiss during this time, which is why we're lying in ambush there tonight, waiting to catch you red-handed."

Bai's father closed his eyes heavily. Ning Qing's words had shattered any remaining hope he had.

He let out a heavy sigh.

"continue".

Seeing that Bai's father and Ms. Yang's emotions were not fluctuating too much, Ning Qing was sure that she wouldn't upset them to the point of illness before continuing to speak.

"I really like Xiaohao and want to be with him. I hope you can give me a chance."

Ms. Yang looked at the two people standing in front of her and asked in a trembling voice.

"Ah Qing, Ah Hao, are you two serious?"

This time, Bai Hao spoke first, replying with a resolute expression.

"We are in a serious relationship and hope you can give us your blessing."

After speaking, he looked at Ms. Yang sitting in the chair, his eyes filled with a hint of guilt.

But it was quickly replaced by a sense of determination.

Ms. Yang lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Bai's father sat in the chair, remaining silent for a long time.

The room fell into a deathly silence in an instant.

Until the minute hand on the clock slowly completed a full rotation.

Only then did Bai's father open his eyes and look at the two people who were still standing upright.

He slowly opened his mouth and asked.

"Are you two serious?"

Ning Qing nodded and looked at Bai's father with a serious expression.

"Dad, I'm very serious about dating Xiaohao. I'm absolutely certain that I will only love him for the rest of my life."

Mr. Bai chuckled.

"A lifetime? Do you know how long a person's lifetime is? You've only lived a quarter of your life, yet you dare to make such a presumptuous promise about a lifetime."

Ning Qing's face was resolute.

"Dad, no matter how long a person's life is, I am very certain that Xiao Hao is the only one for me in this life."

Father Bai glanced at Ning Qing.

"What if I don't agree to this? What will you do then?"

Ning Qing: What can I do? Although you are not my father, you are my father-in-law.

"If you don't agree, I'll propose to you every day until you agree."

Mr. Bai was clearly surprised by Ning Qing's answer and glared at her.

They neither said they agreed nor they said they disagreed.

He waved to the two of them to hurry up and leave.

After Ning Qing and the other person left the study, they closed the door.

Only then did Mr. Bai firmly grasp Ms. Yang's hand.

He laughed and said, "Xiao Hao has grown up. When we first brought him home, he was just a tiny little thing."

Upon hearing this, Ms. Yang asked.

"Who is Xiao Hao's biological father?"

Mr. Bai sighed softly.

“His father was one of my business partners. He and his wife both died in an accident, and before they died, they entrusted their company and children to me. Now I have built the company into a large company and raised the children. I have lived up to his trust.”

Ms. Yang looked at him.

"You are a good person."

Mr. Bai chuckled, “Whether he’s a good person or not is another matter, but I’ve lived my life with a clear conscience.”

Ms. Yang was amused by him and gently punched his chest.

"You."
