C15 Unparalleled

"In my opinion, Xuerou is not bad. She is very gentle and treats you well." Then he looked at Meng Xuerou with an optimistic expression.

The two families had always been on good terms with each other. If they were to become relatives because of this, then it would be even better. Why wouldn't they do the same?

Shen Minxiong nodded in agreement, "I think this marriage is fine. Yao, what do you think?"

Shen Yao frowned. He no longer had any appetite. The irritation in his heart was self-evident.

"I refuse."

He looked up and met Shen Minxiong's gaze. He could obey anything, but he couldn't compromise on this matter.

When it came to marriage, he didn't want to be tied down, nor did he want to be arranged with a woman he was tired of.

"You …"

Shen Minxiong slammed the table in anger.

Gu Ciyun comforted him while patting his back.

"Shen Yao, why are you …" How sad for your uncle to be like this! "

Meng Xuerou's voice sounded like a lady in front of them. Although she was angry and even wanted to get angry after hearing Shen Yao's words, she could only suppress her usually arrogant attitude due to her face.

Shen Yao directly ignored her. She would only make him feel disgusted by her for being like this.

"Look at Xueroudo, she's so obedient and sensible. Where are you going to find such a good girl?"

Shen Minxiong felt that this girl was pretty good no matter how he looked at her, so he looked at Shen Yao angrily.

Although his own son was also very good, even close to perfection, the only thing that broke one's heart was the matter of marriage.

This kind of atmosphere caused all the servants to be extremely alert and cautious.

The old master, who usually didn't get angry easily, suddenly became so angry that it made people sigh.

"Dad, regarding marriage, please respect my wishes."

Ignoring his anger, Shen Yao continued to persevere with his own thoughts.

Helpless, he couldn't change his personality.

Gu Ciyun came out to explain, "Alright, alright, let's talk about this later. Let's eat first! You too, it's rare for your son to come back, why are you so angry? "

Shen Minxiong snorted, "It's all your fault."

Then he got up and went upstairs.

Gu Ciyun …

"Shen Yao, look at how angry your dad is. Is it that hard to get married to me?" Meng Xuerou frowned and put her head close to his ear.

The atmosphere in her heart was extremely tense. After all, she was the daughter of the Meng Clan.

"Never." Shen Yao's voice was low and there was no hesitation in it. It was already the limit for him not to feel disgusted with her.

"You …" Meng Xuerou stamped her feet in anger.

However, due to the presence of the elders, it was not good to flare up. He could only forcefully hold it in once more.

"Your dad has such a temper, let's eat first! "Ignore him." Gu Ciyun spoke up a moment later.

His gaze left the figure and returned to the table.

"Mhmm," Shen Yao answered calmly.

How could he not understand? After all these years, only she could take in his personality.

Shen Yao thought from the bottom of his heart.

"However, Yao, you have to properly talk about this with your dad. Don't keep making him unhappy."

Gu Ciyun shook her head, helpless to do anything about the father and son duo's personality. They were both as hard to please as if they were ancestors.

"I know, Mom, let's eat first."

Shen Yao lowered his eyes and continued eating without a care.

Ye Zichen sighed softly. He was truly convinced.

Meng Xuerou was a very suitable and likeable person. Compared to Shen Yao's coldness, she was much more enthusiastic.

"Auntie, let's eat first!" Uncle might just be angry for a moment. "

This made Gu Ciyun look at him in a different light. She was sensible and considerate.

"Sorry Xuerou, I made you stay for dinner, and you made it so unpleasant."

Lili smiled sweetly and caressed her cheeks, "Auntie, what are you saying? Xuerou doesn't feel anything!"

Gu Ciyun nodded in satisfaction.

On the contrary, Shen Yao made her worry.

He was usually a good kid. There was nothing to worry about in the company except the marriage! It was a headache.

After dinner

Meng Xuerou and Gu Ciyun chatted for a while to lighten her mood before she left.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to give Shen Yao a glance, even though he was ignored by him in the end.

At Gu Ciyun's intense request.

Shen Yao helplessly went upstairs.

After pausing for a while, he knocked on the door.

"Come in!" The voice was heavy, and it seemed to still be angry.

Shen Yao walked in with his slender legs and closed the door. He looked like he was sitting on a swivel chair with a worried expression on his face.

Seeing that it was Shen Yao, he snorted and ignored him.

"Dad." Shen Yao hesitated for a moment.

This dignified man in front of him had always been the one he respected the most. However, sometimes, he would ignore his thoughts and make decisions for him that he wasn't willing to make.

"Do you still have me in your eyes?" Shen Minxiong roared.

Shen Yao didn't show any signs of passivity. He just stood there strictly, looking at the man with white hair. Even after so long, he was still domineering and easily angered.

"Dad, it's still the same old saying. Please respect my wishes." Her thin lips parted slightly, but she did not retreat. Instead, she became even more determined.

Marriage was never a matter for two people, he knew, but marriage was not up to them.

With someone he could live his entire life with? It had to be his.

The moment he thought about it, the image of the woman with the heavy makeup under the mask appeared in his mind.

"You're really going to anger me to death, you …" Shen Minxiong slammed the desk in anger and started to shake.

This time, Shen Yao trembled a little, but in that instant, he didn't have any other emotions.

"What's wrong with Xuerou? Her family background and looks aren't any worse than anyone else's. Furthermore, you've forgotten that you're not responsible for what happened that year."

Shen Yao raised his eyes and felt a deep sense of guilt.

He was responsible for what happened that year, but he did not marry her.

"I feel very guilty about that matter, but I also have my principles, so I won't go against my own heart."

"So, Dad, please respect me."

Shen Yao lowered his head, hoping to gain his understanding.

Sigh, Shen Minxiong sighed deeply. He didn't know what kind of situation had brought him to such a state.

He was stubborn yet arrogant. Thinking about it, he was very similar to him. However, he did not understand that there were many times when there was nothing he could do about it.
