"No one would joke about marriage. If I wanted to toy with her, there's no need to get a marriage certificate. My urgency to marry is to prove that I'm serious about her! I understand your lack of trust in me since it's your first time meeting me, Father. But why would you rather see Yuanya remarry in the future than give me a chance to prove myself to everyone?"
For a moment, Father Yuan didn't know how to retort.
Yuanya felt it was time for her to speak up.
She walked over cautiously, gently trembling her father's arm.
"Father, could you please see Lan Xiu as an ordinary man, too? Be fair to him. Even if you can't accept my decision right away, could you refrain from immediately opposing it and give us both a fair chance?"
Father Yuan gazed at Yuanya, her face full of persistence, and then at Lan Xiu, his eyes filled with earnestness, and he remained silent for a long time.
His rationality slowly recovering, he reflected on the situation just now.
