As Bai Liyue listened to Chen Yuzhou talk about his wedding day, she felt her nervousness slowly fade away. She smiled as he recounted stories of his own wedding day, sharing anecdotes about the guests, the music, and the food. It was clear that Chen Yuzhou was excited about his daughter's big day, and his enthusiasm was contagious.
As the conversation continued, Chen Yuzhou noticed that Bai Liyue had stopped fidgeting and seemed more relaxed. He took a deep breath, adjusted his tie, and looked at her with a serious expression. "Ziyue..." he began.
"Yes, Dad?" Bai Liyue replied, her eyes meeting his.
"I... um... I know that I haven't always been the best father to you and your sister. I may have made mistakes in how I raised you, but please know that I always wanted what was best for you. I wanted you to be successful, just like me, and take over my company one day. But looking back, I realize that I never asked you what you wanted."
