219 Clash with Future sFather-in-Law” (2/2)

Ming Hui looked back solemnly. ”I have my own reason and if I don't hide my gender, with the status of my mother, I'm sure I would have been death.”

What Ming Hui said was reasonable. His mother didn't have any status and getting pregnant was only 'an accident'. With him hiding his identity and live as a woman, they would not target him and let him off the hook.

Fan Dan sneered. ”What kind of man hiding as a girl? Don't you have any dignity?”

Ming Hui didn't want to be taunted by this man, but he cannot refute that he was indeed, a coward for hiding his identity. The struggle he had for years to live as a girl was a torture that no one can imagine.

”The kind of man who is willing to abandon his real identity in order to live,” Ming Hui said with a low voice. ”I know you look down on me, but I would not throw away my live pointlessly when I know that I don't have any chance.”

From the moment he knew that he was hiding his real gender, he knew that it was a secret he need to hide from the emperor forever. Living suppressing himself, he learned how to be patience and wait for the right moment. It was this patience that led him able to survive all this year hiding his gender and acting in front of the people.

”You treasure your life so much?” Fan Dan looked towards Ming Hui.

”If I don't treasure my life, I won't be able to live to find my happiness,” Ming Hui answered. ”Life is precious, if you don't alive, you won't be able to experience many things in this world.”

He treasures his life and those around him. That was the other reason why he became doctor. He wanted to be able to save those around him. From losing his mother because of poison, he didn't want to experience the same thing anymore.

Fan Dan knew that the boy in front of him was serious. He had seen the boy skill as doctor and he cannot say that he was not impressed. Above all of it, he didn't want his daughter to marry someone who was selfish. But upon hearing his next line, he knew that the boy didn't only treasured his life, he also treasured his friends life.

Still he looked towards Ming Hui with a hard face. ”I don't want my daughter to be with a feminine guy like you.”

He is 100% man, alright…. Ming Hui didn't know how to convince this old man about that fact, but he didn't have any interest towards other man. The only one whom he fancy was only one girl, Fan Lanying and no one else.

Before he could say anything else, Fan Lanying had come inside with a tray in her hand. She looked towards both of them and put the tray on the table before serving the tea to Ming Hui. Although her way of pouring it is a bit inelegant, the two men already know that she was indeed not used to serve.

”I can do it, you don't have to,” Ming Hui said helplessly.

Fan Lanying grinned. ”I want to.”

”Fine,” he can only accept it.

Fan Dan sighed. What had he missed out from the time on the military? Seeing the smile on Fan Lanying face, he knew, it will be a hard thing to convince her.

Fan Lanying looked towards her father. ”Father, I want to marry Ming Hui.”

Ming Hui who was about to drink the tea and Fan Dan both choked on the air and coughed violently.
