Chen Hao gently cupped his girlfriend's fair face in his hands, his eyes firm yet domineering as he said:
“Baby, if my stubborn old man doesn’t agree to us being together, then I’ll take you far away and elope with you. No matter what difficulties we encounter, I will never let go of your hand.”
Standing to the side, Li Moyang gazed at the man who loved her so deeply with her gentle, watery eyes. She stretched out her slender arms and tightly embraced Chen Hao's strong waist, gently resting her head on his broad chest.
She said softly, "Ah Hao, as long as you never leave me in this life, I will stay with you through life and death."
Chen Hao lowered his head slightly and gently kissed her smooth forehead, his handsome and resolute face now filled with tender affection.
"My dear, don't worry, I will never marry anyone but you in this life. Even if the sky falls, I will protect you and make you the happiest woman in the world."
Listening to Chen Hao's sincere and touching words of love, Li Moyang felt as sweet as if she had been filled with honey. Like a well-behaved kitten, she buried her head deeply in Chen Hao's warm embrace, enjoying this sweet time that belonged only to the two of them.
Time flew by, and before they knew it, it was five o'clock in the afternoon. Chen Hao took Li Moyang's hand and they returned together to the bustling Sichuan restaurant.
Upon entering the shop, the two immediately got to work, methodically arranging for the chefs to prepare the various side dishes needed for the evening.
Just as everything was proceeding smoothly, a sudden cell phone ring broke the tranquility of the store.
Chen Hao took his phone out of his pocket. When he saw that the caller ID on the screen was his father, a sense of doubt welled up in his heart, but he still quickly pressed the answer button.
The father's usual authoritative and unquestionable voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hao-zai, come back here right now. There's something very important at home that I need to talk to you about in person."
Chen Hao frowned and asked, puzzled, "Dad, what's so important that you can't just tell me over the phone?"
"No, it's hard to explain over the phone. Haozai, hurry up and drive back."
Chen Hao gave a helpless "Oh" and hung up the phone. Then, he found his girlfriend who was doing the accounts.
He instructed, "Mo Yang, I'm going back to my home in Guangcheng. Keep an eye on the shop."
"Ah Hao, how long are you going to be back?"
Chen Hao smiled and said, "I'll be back in three hours."
Hearing that her boyfriend was only going back for a few hours, Li Moyang told him to hurry back.
Chen Hao kissed her on the cheek and left in a hurry. Not long after, he arrived at the underground parking lot of the Guangfu Hotel, got into his Pagani, and drove towards Guangcheng.
Chen Hao sped home like a whirlwind.
As soon as I entered the house, I found my dad and mom there, along with a girl in a white dress. She had regular features and looked like the kind of woman who takes care of her family.
Dad pulled him to sit on the sofa and then began to introduce him.
"Hao-zai, this is Xiao-jing, the daughter of your Uncle Liang Gang. Look at her, she's not only beautiful, but also a top student at Sun Yat-sen University. Your Uncle Liang Gang and I have already agreed that we'll arrange for you two to get married as soon as Xiao-jing graduates."
Chen Hao: ? ? ? ? ?
At this moment, a surge of anger rose within him. He had been eagerly anticipating what urgent matter required him to rush home in such a hurry.
After a long and tiring three-hour drive, he didn't even have time to drink water, but what awaited him was nothing more than a farce about being introduced to a marriage partner.
"Dad, I already have..."
He was about to explain when his father rudely interrupted him, saying, "What are you talking about! Your marriage is my decision."
The unquestionable tone and firm attitude left him stunned for a moment.
Seeing the tense atmosphere between the father and son, the mother was afraid that they would quarrel in front of Xiaojing, the guest, and lose face for the family.
So she quickly stepped forward and tried to dissuade them, saying, "You two, stop arguing here. Go back to your room and talk things out."
Upon hearing his mother's words, Chen Hao and his father exchanged a glance before turning and heading towards their room.
Upon entering the room, the door slammed shut, as if isolating everything from the outside world.
Chen Youfu was the first to attack. He stared at his son with wide eyes and asked sternly, "Are you trying to say that you have a girlfriend?"
Faced with his father's aggressive gaze, Chen Hao hesitated for a moment before nodding in acknowledgment.
Seeing his son nod, Chen Youfu's face grew even more somber. He kept a straight face and looked very serious.
“Your sister Chen Juan told me that you actually want to marry that woman from a rural area in Sichuan Province, but today I’m telling you clearly that I will absolutely not agree to this.”
Chen Hao glared angrily at the old man and demanded, "Am I getting married or are you getting married? What right do you have to stop me from marrying Mo Yang?"
Chen Youfu refused to back down: "If you want to get married, marry Xiaojing. What's so great about that country girl? She's not even worth a finger of Xiaojing. Look at Xiaojing, she's impeccable in every way, and her father is a major shareholder of Shengshi Real Estate."
“In terms of family background, Xiaojing is a good match for you. In terms of education, Xiaojing is far superior to both of you. So you can’t go wrong by listening to me. You have to trust my judgment.”
Chen Hao was so angry that he trembled all over. "Dad, I love Mo Yang, not because of her family background or education. The feelings between us cannot be measured by these things."
