Just when Xiaofan was amazed by Chen Baicheng's abilities, Chen Mei'Er, sitting nearby, also suddenly put down her chopsticks and looked at Xiaofan with some confusion.

She wouldn't forget that last night Ye Weiwei had brought Xiaofan over and did tell her that the man in front of her was her boyfriend.

However, at this very moment, her father was telling her that this guy was actually Ye Daqiao's nephew, which meant that he and Ye Weiwei were not a couple at all; they were merely paternal cousins.

In other words, from the very beginning, this guy appeared just to comfort her, to dispel her thoughts of self-harm. Even until the last moment, he was only infuriated by her, leading to his impulsive behavior.

This man is so strange. Clearly, they had only met for the first time. Why was he willing to comfort her without seeking any reward? Why was he different from the men she knew?

Some say that the start of affection begins with a girl's curiosity about a boy. Clearly, Chen Mei'Er was really curious about this guy.

"So tell me, when do the two of you plan to get married?" Chen Baicheng suddenly blurted out.

"Pfft." Xiaofan almost choked on his water at that sentence.

"Dad, when did I ever say I was going to marry him?" Chen Mei'Er said, her eyes widening.

"Uncle, I think you might have misunderstood. My relationship with Miss Chen is not what you think." Xiaofan quickly explained.

"Oh? Then what is it?" Chen Baicheng's smiling face suddenly turned sullen.

A leader of a major family, akin to an ancient king, could laugh and banter with you one second and immediately flip the switch and cut you down at the palace gates the next.

At this moment, Chen Baicheng gave Xiaofan a sense of the danger that comes with being close to a ruler.

"Even when you've taken off your clothes, it's not what you say? I heard last night you were running around wearing my Mei'Er's panties, right?" Chen Baicheng spoke brazenly, addressing the young people directly.

These words caused the two young ones to immediately exchange glances filled with black lines (embarrassment).

"Dad...can you not meddle so much?" Chen Mei'Er immediately spoke up.

"My dear daughter, oh, how can dad be meddling? Look how happy I am. You having a proper boyfriend is a joyous occasion, after all. I don't care what you young people do behind closed doors, but you should give me, your father, an explanation." Chen Baicheng's words were rough, but his reasoning wasn't.

"Well, what kind of arrangement does Uncle have in mind?" Xiaofan continued to ask.

"Hey, I thought about it all night. You both are still studying, so there's no rush to get married. Get engaged first and then have the wedding after graduation. But if there's a child, then you have to have the baby immediately. It's that simple. When the time comes..."

"I won't marry Miss Chen." Xiaofan interrupted before Chen Baicheng could finish.

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Baicheng's brow furrowed immediately. Especially as the bodyguards standing beside him turned their surprised gaze towards him.

To know, few dared to openly refuse Chen Baicheng in the Capital City. Plus, everyone knew his temper; once he was angered, the consequences could be very serious.

Chen Mei'Er also began to panic. She knew her father's nature very well. She knew her own matters too, so her father had always been urging her to find a boyfriend. Now that he finally caught her, he would probably see this as a fact and not want it to change.

The most annoying one was Ye Xiaofan who had agreed with her last night that today everything would follow her father's lead. Even if marriage was mentioned, they would agree first and explain things properly later. At worst, she would just tell her father that they peacefully broke up later.

Everything was agreed upon last night, but why did this boy change his statement during the meeting, wasn't he courting death?

"Say that again?" Chen Baicheng gave Xiaofan another chance to change his words.

"I won't marry Miss Chen. I already have a girl I like. Also, let me clearly state that nothing happened between Miss Chen and me. Last night's events were just an illusion." Say it again? Even if he had to say it ten more times, Xiaofan would.

"Young man, hot-bloodedness is good, but sometimes you need to recognize the reality." Gui, who was standing by, quickly advised.

"Do you really think my daughter, Chen Baicheng's, is so easy to bully? I don't know what you did last night, but the news about you two staying in a hotel together has already spread across the Capital City. If you dare to say 'no' today, then I, Chen, will have to do something unpleasant to protect my daughter's reputation." Chen Baicheng was also taken aback by what he was saying, never expecting himself to threaten a young man this way. Sigh, wasn't it all for his precious daughter?

"..." Xiaofan suddenly went silent. Obviously, becoming enemies with Chen Baicheng was no good. Yet his personality was stubborn.

Indeed, who was it that for the sake of a beloved woman didn't even care for his life, ran out from the hospital with a heavily injured body? Those familiar with Xiaofan knew that if he didn't want to do something, he wouldn't do it even with a knife at his throat. But once he set his mind to something, not even ten oxen could pull him back.

"Young man, you should know how many people in the Capital City want to become my son-in-law, Chen Baicheng? Right before you is a path to fame and fortune. What of having a girlfriend? I still have a dozen women around me. No matter how many women you have, I don't care, but you can't bully my daughter." After the threat, Chen Baicheng's tone softened, using both threats and promises was the best way to handle these young people.

"If I don't agree, then will I be unable to leave this place today?" Xiaofan slowly raised his head, his gaze firm and unwavering.

"Not necessarily, maybe one day while walking down the street you'll get hit by a car? Or perhaps one day some people will come out of nowhere and chop you up? Or, maybe one day your body will be found in a river?" Chen Baicheng tapped the table, a bit surprised, he hadn't expected this young man to be so bullheaded.

"Seems there's no absolute in everything. Then maybe I can live well anyhow. Thank you for your hospitality today, Uncle. I have matters to attend to; I'll be going now." With that, Xiaofan stood up and prepared to walk out the door.

"Ye Xiaofan..." Chen Mei'Er called out in a bit of a panic. Though her father spoiled her greatly, when angered, not even she could calm him.

"Stop. Do you think you can come and go so easily on my turf?" And true to form, Chen Baicheng's temper flared too. It's been so many years, he'd almost forgotten the last time someone dared to anger him.
