Chapter 2016: Off-limits

“Come on, do you think marriage is going to be that easy?” Xiao Yuqian laughed, not wanting to get married so soon. “Even if I’m okay with it, your father might not agree.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. I’ll go talk to my dad,” Ma Haodong said.

Xiao Yuqian sighed. “It’s still too early to talk about this.”

“It’s not early at all. At least we can get engaged first.”

The reason Ma Haodong was in such a hurry was that he didn’t felt safe enough about their relationship. As long as he and Xiao Yuqian got engaged, then things would be better for him.

Because of that, Ma Haodong even went back to meet with his father.

It had been quite some time since Ma Hangcheng last saw his son. The only time Ma Hangcheng had seen Ma Haodong in the past few months was when he returned and begged for him to help Xiao Guohua’s company.

“So, you still know how to come home. Do you even still see me as your father?” Ma Hangcheng scolded, acting all stern and strict. But deep down, he still loved his son.

“Of course. I couldn’t see you because you’re always in my heart.”

“Stop with your flattery. What do you want?”

“Something big! If things go smoothly, you’ll have a grandchild soon.”

“Oh? Explain.”

“I want to get engaged to someone.”

“And who exactly?”

“You know her.”

Ma Hangcheng stared at Ma Haodong. Only one person came into Ma Hanchceng’s head. It explained why his son would suddenly ask for him to help her family.

“The lady from the Xiao family?”

“Yup! You sure are smart!”

As Ma Hangcheng thought of Xiao Yuqian, another person came into his mind. A beautiful woman.

The thought of her made Ma Hangcheng sigh. “Son… I’m not against you dating anyone… except for Xiao Guohua’s daughter. She’s off-limits.”

“… Why?” Ma Haodong asked angrily.

“Children of our families aren’t fated for each other, that’s all.”

Ma Hangcheng didn’t want to talk about it further.

“Is it because of Tang Qingyuan? Because she was your first love? Is that why I can’t marry Xiao Yuqian?”

“Things aren’t always as simple as they seem, Haodong. Saving the Xiao family is more mercy than I could ever show them. You dating Xiao Guohua’s daughter is like stabbing a knife straight through my heart. He’s the person I hated the most in this world. Either I die, or you marry her.”

Ma Hangcheng then turned and left.

Ma Haodong never expected his father to be so against his plea to marry Xiao Yuqian. The impact was too much for him to handle. He flipped the table in front of him and left the Ma mansion in anger.

After Ma Haodong had left, Ma Hangcheng picked up his phone and called the boss of Huayin Entertainment.

“Mr. He, Xiao Yuqian is dating my son. Make sure you put a stop to this.”
