220 Convincing Father-in-Law (1/2)

”Lanying! Do you even know what you are saying?” Fan Dan felt that he was being played around. He had just told Ming Hui that he won't acknowledge his relationship with his daughter and in the next moment, Fan Lanying told him that she wanted to marry Ming Hui.

Fan Lanying nodded. ”Is there anything wrong?”

Is there anything wrong? Obviously there is! First of all, how could a girl say that she wanted to marry someone so straightforwardly? Where did your usual shyness as a girl gone to…? Secondly, there was no way he wanted to accept a son-in-law who was more feminine than his daughter. Thirdly, he didn't want his daughter to be heartbroken if the emperor were to know the real gender of Ming Hui and chose to pursue him.

Ming Hui felt that it was his mistake for choosing someone who's talking was really straightforward. Usually, she would be embarrassed in front of him, but now she just blatantly blurted out something he wanted to say the most. Really, the role of man and woman here had been switched completely.

Nevertheless, he liked this part of her.

”Lanying, it should be me that say the word.”

Fan Lanying pursed her lips. ”But if it's you who said it, father won't agree no matter what.”

That's completely correct was what the two men think. Fan Dan rubbed his head with helplessness. ”Ask for your mother permission first. I will be going out to get some fresh air.”

Fan Lanying immediately called for Madam Fan. Different with the stubborn Fan Dan, she already liked Ming Hui. She often heard about what Fan Lanying do in the palace as the guard and it once occurred to her that if Ming Hui was a man, it would be really good. Now that the wish had come true, she couldn't be happier.

Seeing his wife immediately supported them, Fan Dan felt helpless. He walked in the garden and looked towards the pond there.

”General Fan Dan,” Ming Hui followed him outside. ”Can't you at least give me a chance?”

Fan Dan looked towards Ming Hui. His mind wavered a bit, but he didn't want to acknowledge such a son-in-law. He retracted his gaze back to the pond before him and shook his head.

”No matter how good you are, I don't want to put Lanying into danger.”

As a father, he cared about his daughter a lot. He didn't wish to see the girl injured or get hurt. He was the one who against her being a soldier in the first place, but in the end had to accept it. Now, she wanted to marry someone like Ming Hui, he can't bring himself to agree.

Ming Hui can faintly notice the real reason Fan Dan doesn't want him. Him being used to act as a girl was one thing, and the other thing was the fact that he had deceived the emperor. With that kind of deed, there was no way the other party didn't worry about the retaliation from the emperor.

Ming Hui inhaled deeply. ”I will overthrow him from the throne. At that time, there will be no one that can block my way anymore.”

Fan Dan was shocked at the word Ming Hui said. If the one who heard it was the loyal person to the emperor, Ming Hui would surely be beheaded and chased all the way. Yet, the man simply chose to state it before him. He was really bold.

”Young man, do you even understand the word you're saying?” Fan Dan eyes narrowed. Doesn't he afraid being chased and killed even before he could do it?
