"I just wanted to get out of his shadow as soon as possible and do something for myself," Yating faintly smiled. "I didn't give much thought over the deal. I was twenty-two and too young to think about marriage anyway. That was a faraway event for me, but my career was right before me. So I agreed to it."
Ai parted and shut her lips numerous times, bewildered about what to think of all this.
He shook his head. "But I regretted the deal when I met you and started to like you. Dad would have caused a big ruckus if I dared to choose my wife as well. It was really frustrating and complicated. It was a trouble I made for myself, and I didn't want you to be involved in it and needlessly let Dad clash with you. But none of it matters right now. You are…" his trembling fingers formed a fist, "happy with Liu Jun, right?"
"Yes."
