Xiao Chifeng instantly tightened his hold around Shen Qingcong, gripping her as if someone really were about to snatch her away from him. "Congcong, I will never let you leave! Even if you were the emperor's daughter, I would never allow you to leave me! Absolutely not! Did you hear me?"
Now, he really didn't want Qingcong to find her Hall Master father.
From her mother's diary, he could tell that the Hall Master was a strongly assertive and domineering man.
If the Hall Master learned of Qingcong's existence, he would certainly fight to take her away.
If the Hall Master truly wanted to wrestle her from his grasp, what could he use to resist him with the intimidating capabilities the old man possessed? What could he use to compete with him?
Unless...
He could marry Congcong before the Hall Master found her, rendering the old man powerless.
That's it. He decided. He would do just that.
