"I know, I just couldn't bear it. My daughter is leaving us."
Gu Ye blinked, feeling a pang of sadness in his heart.
“Gu Ye, I understand how you feel. When children grow up, they have to leave home and their parents. All we can do is stay at home, wait for them to come back, be their strong support, and give them a place to rest when they are tired.”
Bonnie's calm tone helped Gu Ye control his emotions and stop his outburst.
Sanqi and Gu Xuanyi quietly sat down on the sofa. Without asking, they knew that Ma Zijun had no chance.
"Sixty-nine, now that Ma Zijun has finished speaking, what are your thoughts?"
Bonnie felt that her daughter seemed to lack a romantic flair, showing none of the shyness and nervousness a young girl would feel when being confessed to.
“I instinctively refused. I told him I was still young and needed to focus on my studies and improve my skills. I felt that he was easily defeated by me because he wasn’t putting his mind to the right things.”

Once Gu Ye calmed down, he understood the Ma family's intentions to some extent. Their patriarch was about to retire, their son held a sinecure, and their grandson was still young, so they wanted to find a powerful outsider to help each other out.
Moreover, his daughter is very capable, and her future prospects are promising.
But they were wrong. Those things they valued were of no interest to Gu Ye. Compared to his daughter's happiness, nothing else mattered. Liu Jiu wanted to find a man who loved her and whom she loved in return, to live a life like his and Bao Ni's—that was life.
Liu Jiu actually had some questions for her mother, but seeing how angry her father was just now, she decided that she would ask her mother alone tomorrow after her father went to work.
