Li Yuan's face immediately darkened: "It seems to be my fault. I let those old men eat their fill, so they have time to worry about this kind of thing."
Ruffled Ji Zhinan's hair and comforted him, "Don't pay attention to those old men if they come looking for you in the future. They're just bored!"
He paused, his expression serious: "Dad has really let go. Now Dad only wants to manage the family well and leave more wealth for you and Eddie. I don't want anything else."
Ji Zhinan pursed his lips and nodded.
She understood what Li Yuan meant.
"Dad, I'll go back to my room first."
"Good boy/girl."
Gently watching her beloved daughter leave, Ji Zhinan had barely left when Li Yuan's face darkened immediately: "Charson!"
Charles, who was outside, heard the noise and immediately came in: "Sir?"
"Call those old men in Europe and tell them to stop bothering my daughter! If they're really bored, send them out to negotiate business!"
Charleson was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what Li Yuan was angry about.
"Did Elder Joseph ask the young lady to persuade you to go on a blind date?" he asked tentatively.
Li Yuan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot: "You knew about this too?"
Charleson nodded: "The elders contacted me when the matchmaking event was scheduled, but I knew you wouldn't want to go, so I declined without telling you."
Unexpectedly, they went to see the young lady.
Li Yuan looked extremely pale.
“Sir, I think... you could go there.”
He had barely finished speaking when he received a death stare from Li Yuan.
His sharp gaze felt like knives, stabbing him repeatedly. Charson, forcing a smile, continued, "The elders' anxiety is understandable. After all, throughout the history of the Warrens family, it has always been the patriarch and his wife who have worked together to safeguard the wealth the Warrens family has accumulated..."
“My father didn’t marry either?” Li Yuan retorted, unconvinced.
"That's why Ferenc dared to rebel because he exploited this loophole."
If the old patriarch had married a noblewoman and received the support of that family, Ferenc would never have dared to act rashly.
"..." Li Yuan had no words to refute.
Charleson sighed and said earnestly, "Sir, I've followed you for so many years, and my wish is the same as yours: that you can be happy."
"I'm very happy now." With Nan Nan by his side, his life is already fulfilling.
"So you should take a step forward."
"..."
"Elder Joseph and the others shouldn't have bothered you, Miss, but they were all doing it for your own good, sir. Everyone is very worried about your happiness."
"..." Li Yuan remained silent again.
Charleson looked at him: "For the sake of the young lady... the elders only asked you to attend, they didn't say you had to bring back a woman."
After a moment of silence, Li Yuan spoke in a dry tone: "Help me cancel my work for those few days."
Charleson is right. He's only being asked to attend; he's not being told he has to bring someone back. He can just make a living on his own and that's it.
This also proves that he... has truly let go.
Charleson was delighted: "Yes, sir, I'll arrange it right away."

"Is my father-in-law going on a blind date?"
At the dinner table, Gu Yibei raised an eyebrow.
He was immediately followed by Li Yuan's death stare.
"You have a problem with that?"
"Ahem." Gu Yibei dared not have any objections and immediately said, "That's great. I didn't expect Dad to not only be handsome, but also follow the trend of young people like us and go on blind dates."
