The temperature in the president's office instantly dropped to freezing point, the air seemed to condense, and it was so silent that even a needle could be heard falling on the ground.
Kang Dao stood up suddenly, walked slowly to the floor-to-ceiling windows, stared at the busy traffic coming and going outside the window, and pulled his thoughts back to the past.
Back then, he stood in front of his mother in the same way, begging her to let him go and let him choose the person he loves to be his wife, but in the end he was not firm enough to submit to the order and married the person arranged by his mother. Later, he blindly rejected and resisted, not only hurting himself but also hurting his wife, causing future tragedies.
If he had had enough courage to oppose to the end back then, or if he had had the courage to admit his love for Kang Xuan's mother after marrying her, maybe that family would not be so sad today...
That's right, Kang Xuan can give up everything. With his major, he can definitely find another job, but he can't find a "son" to inherit his career...
"Dad?" Looking at his father's back, he called softly.
"You can get married." Kang Dao suddenly turned around and said.
Kang Xuan and Yin Lian glanced at each other, they didn't expect him to agree so easily.
"But there is no wedding, no bride price, nothing. If you want to get married, just go and register." He looked directly at the two of them, testing Yin Lian.
"Dad, this is too unfair to her." Kang Xuan frowned slightly.
"If you think it's unfair, don't marry. Just marry An Qianlin obediently." Kang Dao said indifferently.
He gritted his teeth, and before he could speak, Yin Lian had already snatched the words, "I promise."
"You promise?" The father and son looked at her in disbelief at the same time.
"No, that's right, I agree." She swallowed, and had no choice but to insist on nodding.
She couldn't understand why she couldn't see Kang Xuan embarrassed and injured.
Showing a grateful and touched smile, he didn't expect her to be willing to do this for him.
"President, we have already agreed to your conditions, and you should also abide by your promise." Yin Lian continued.
Kang Dao squinted his eyes, nodded slowly, "I see, let's do it this way."
"Thank you, Dad." Kang Xuan squeezed her hand and thanked his father.
"Let's go out." He lowered his head and flipped through the documents on the table, no longer looking at them.
Kang Xuan held Yin Lian's hand, turned around and walked out.
"It was really thanks to you just now." As soon as he walked out of the CEO's office, he stared at her and said.
"Just now...uh, what did I do?" It was over, she really wanted to hug her head and shout.
"You really don't mind just notarizing and registering?" Kang Xuan looked at her expression of doomsday, a little guilty and distressed.
She shook her head with difficulty, and said with a bitter face, "I don't mind, but how should I tell my parents?" Now she was really confused.
"Don't worry, I will give them a satisfactory explanation." He comforted.
"You?" Yin Lian was dumbfounded, very suspicious.
"The ugly son-in-law always wants to see his in-laws, let's go." He gave her a smile.
"Wait - wait, you said now?" She was staggered by him. how? He is not weak.
"Otherwise?" Kang Xuan asked back without stopping.
"Wait, it's too fast, too fast." Yin Lian yelled and protested, but it was in vain. She could only be dragged out of the company by him under the watchful eyes of her colleagues in the company.
"Can I go see your parents?" Kang Xuan looked at Yin Lian who kept pacing back and forth near her house, and smiled helplessly.
"After we meet, how do I tell them? Dad, Mom, your daughter is getting married. You have never seen this son-in-law. We just plan to register?" She gave him an angry look, You can almost imagine the disappointment and astonishment of the parents when they found out.
"Just say we fell in love at first sight." He suggested.
"Are you crazy? Our family is a simple and conservative family. What love at first sight and marriage in a flash, you want me to be beaten to death by my parents?"
"Are your parents so fierce?" Kang Xuan made an expression of fear on purpose.
"Hey, that's not it, I'm just a metaphor." God, is she really going to marry this courageous man?
However, the appearance of him standing up to confront the president in order to marry her, not only looks full of courage, but also makes people surprised that he also has such a resolute side, which made her secretly moved.
"In short, no matter what, you still have to report this matter to your uncle and aunt. You can't get married in secret, right?" Kang Xuan tried to persuade her.
"Good idea." Yin Lian seemed to have heard some great advice, her pretty face lit up, "Let's get married secretly!"
"What did you say?" This is no joke.
"That's it. Anyway, I'm only marrying you as a stopgap measure. Let you get rid of the crisis of marrying An Qianlin first. After you become more independent, we can divorce and pursue happiness separately." Such a plan is not bad. Bar?
"You mean, you're already thinking about getting a divorce before you get married?" His brows could not help but wrinkle, feeling uncomfortable in his heart.
"Could it be that you really want to marry me?" She asked jokingly, but she didn't feel so good about herself.
Kang Xuan was silent for a while, then held her hand, stared deeply at her and said, "Really, I want to marry you." Really, he won't make fun of marriage.
Being watched so affectionately by his handsome eyes, Yin Lian's heart was throbbing like several deer scurrying around together.
"You you you—why do you want to marry me?" Did he fall in love with her?
Yin Lian waited for the answer with bated breath, and there was an expectation that even she couldn't explain.
"Because..." He stared at her intently.
"Because of what?" She also looked back at him seriously.
Kang Xuan grinned his lips, and there was that harmless, innocent smile again, "Because it feels safe to be with you."
This answer made Yin Lian almost faint, and a mouthful of saliva stuck in her throat, causing her to cough several times in disbelief.
"Are you okay?" He patted her back with a concerned expression.
"No, nothing." She shook her head, her pretty fair face flushed red from her excessive expectation. She is such an i***t, what the hell is she thinking? How could you be so thick-skinned that you thought he would say... What an i***t!
"What's wrong with you?" Looking at the rich expression changes on her face, Kang Xuan asked pretending to be innocent, but he couldn't help but flash a clear smile in his eyes.
"I'm fine." Yin Lian quickly concealed her embarrassment, took a deep breath and said, "In short, we must find a good reason to tell my parents."
"Don't worry, I've already thought about it." He replied confidently.
"Really?" She was really not at ease about his "ability to handle affairs".
Kang Xuan smiled slightly and assured, "They will definitely be satisfied."
