“Sir, do I have your blessing to marry your daughter?”
The whole room first fell into a complete silence, then into an uproar after a few seconds.
“What is going on? What is Mr. Ruan trying to do?”
Ling Tao looked left and right, at a total loss. Then he pointed at Guan Jianlin in the distance. “Mr. Ruan, are you mistaking me for Meiyi’s father? I am her uncle, and her father is over there!” Afraid that Ruan Zeyan was still confused, Ling Tao kept pointing at Guan Jianlin.
Guan Jianlin didn’t look pleased. He was sure that Ruan Zeyan knew what he looked like. How could he mistake Ling Tao for himself?
Ruan Qishan lost his grasp on the situation too, looking at his son with a big frown. Wang Yazhi tightened her fists, as she thought that her own son would never make simple mistakes like that. At the same time, she had no other explanation for it.
Run Zeyan looked into Ling Tao’s eyes very seriously, “I’m not mistaken. I am asking your permission to marry your daughter.”
The whole room was in shock. Guan Jianlin and Ling Qi’s faces turned green when they noticed all the eyes on them and even some in ridicule.
( B oxnovel.c om ) Guan Meiyi couldn’t believe that Ruan Zeyan walked past her to ask her uncle’s permission to marry his daughter. What would it make her then? She could feel the mocking and ridicule coming from every direction.
“Qishan, what is going on right now?” Guan Jianlin couldn’t hold back anymore.
Ruan Qishan was not sure what was actually going on, so he said, “Jianlin, don’t worry, let me ask.”
“Zeyan!” Ruan Qishan walked over to his son, staring down Ling Tao in the process. “What is going on?”
Ruan Zeyan looked at his father, neither obsequious nor arrogant, and said, “I agreed to get engaged today, but I didn’t say whom I planned to get engaged to.”
“Who do you want to get engaged to other than Meiyi?” Ruan Qishan questioned, his eyes full of threats. The chilling effect he was able to project matched Ruan Zeyan’s. Back in the day, Ruan Qishan was famous for being decisive and ruthless, having no mercy for anyone. He used to be an all controlling emperor of the kingdom. Even though he was old and had passed his crown to his son, it didn’t mean that he had lost the style and influence of a king.
Ruan Zeyan met father’s gaze straight on, his mouth curved up naturally, “I’m asking the girl’s father’s permission.”
The difference was that Ruan Zeyan had accumulated the power to contend his father, so what happened six years ago would not happen again.
Ruan Qishan stared at Ling Tao with such threatening eyes that Ling Tao dared not look back. He couldn’t understand, how did he become everyone’s target without doing anything? Ruan Zeyan wanted to marry his daughter? Which one?
Subconsciously, Ling Tao looked over at Ling Yuqing, who was always by his side the past a few years. She hung out with Guan Meiyi often and had run into Ruan Zeyan occasionally. Could it be that Ruan Zeyan took a liking to Ling Yuqing and that was the reason for the debacle?
When Ruan Zeyan said that he wanted to marry Ling Tao’s daughter, Ling Yuqing’s heart fluttered. She couldn’t help but think the unthinkable – could it be her? Ling Tao was looking at her too, after a brief moment of astonishment, Ling Yuqing started to become visibly ecstatic. Could it be that Ruan Zeyan had really fallen in love with her, that he was asking to marry her in front of everyone?
Ling Yuqing almost couldn’t control her own breathing, looking at Ling Tao in great anticipation. At that moment, she didn’t care about Guan Meiyi or Ling Qi, or how unrealistic the whole thing seemed to be. All she wanted was for Ling Tao to say yes immediately.
( B oxnovel.c om ) Qu Wan’s face was full of hope as well. She was taking deep breaths, hands in fists, unprecedentedly excited. She could almost envision a future where she got to taunt Ling Qi.
