Old Yuan glanced at him and said, "If you force it, you're going against fate. What does that have to do with her?"

Gu Guanhai visibly breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh."

He laughed and said, "As long as it's not her."

Seeing this, Old Yuan couldn't help but glare, "What do you mean? You know you can't force it, but you're still going to insist on it, right?"

Gu Guanhai leaned against the pillow, his face expressionless.

"Old Gu!"

Old Yuan's expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "I gave you my fortune twenty years ago. I said that you were born to be a general, born to defend the Xia Kingdom!"

"Defending your country is your duty and your destiny!"

"So, no matter what dangerous missions have been over the years, I've always recommended you to take them, because I know you won't die!"

"As long as you do your duty and stay true to your original aspirations, you will be able to turn misfortune into good fortune!"

Gu Guanhai chuckled upon hearing this.

He sneered and said, "Give me a break! You always say I won't die, but I always come back half-dead, so that's why I beat you up every day!"

"You old bald monk, your calculations are completely inaccurate!"

As he spoke, Gu Guanhai glared fiercely at Lao Yuan.

Damn it, this guy's calculations are definitely inaccurate!

Because, when he helped the research institute get equipment before, he also calculated that he would definitely come back safely, but what happened?

As a result, he almost died in the jungle.

Moreover, according to Yu Mingxiang, in his previous life, he was honored in that mission!

She's seen his statue; how could it be fake?

Upon hearing this, Old Yuan stomped his feet in anger.

"How could my calculation be inaccurate?"

He said angrily, "Just tell me if you're dead or not!"

Gu Guanhai was speechless upon hearing this.

He glanced down at himself, then at Lao Yuan.

"I didn't die because the woman I love is amazing; she saved me!"

He scoffed, "It has absolutely nothing to do with you!"

"How can it have nothing to do with me?"

Upon hearing this, Old Yuan eagerly replied, "It's all fate. Every person you meet and every event that happens to you is predetermined!"

"The fact that you met her and were saved by her proves that she existed just to save you!"

"But it's one thing for her to save you, and it's another thing for you to force a marriage with her!"

“Old Gu, I’m not exaggerating. You know my background, and you know that we Yuan family members never lie.”

Gu Guanhai chuckled upon hearing this.

He couldn't help but let out another cold laugh.

"The Yuan family doesn't lie, but aren't you a disgrace to the Yuan family?"

He said with a look of disgust, "If you hadn't lied, could you have tricked Mei Fang into giving herself to you?"

Upon hearing this, Old Yuan exclaimed: "!!!"

He raised his hand and wiped his old face, saying, "That's different! Between men and women, that's romance, not lying!"

Gu Guanhai: "I also want to add some fun to my life."

Old Yuan: "..."

The conversation died down again.

He looked at Gu Guanhai, completely speechless.

"You won't listen to my advice, will you?"

He pointed at Gu Guanhai, looking dejected, and said, "Even if it costs you your life, you're going to force this marriage that isn't meant for you, right?"

Gu Guanhai replied, "Yes!"

Old Yuan: "Okay!"

He nodded, a cold smile on his face, and slowly backed away. "Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being official. Old Gu, you are not destined for marriage. Forcing it will only bring trouble. If you encounter trouble, it will be a loss for the Xia Kingdom, and I cannot stand idly by!"

Gu Guanhai frowned.

"How do you want to manage this?"

"If I can't persuade you, I'll try to persuade someone else."

"You dare!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Guanhai immediately sat up straight. "Yuan Tiansuo, I'm warning you, don't do anything reckless!"

"If you dare to do anything reckless, I'll have Mei Fang take you to the port city and throw you into the sea to feed the fish!"
