Chapter 117 - Engagement(3) (2/2)

Yes, she was looking for that.

She calmed her nerves and acted cute. ”Yes. Dad always knows me best. You even know what I'm looking for. Where did you find it?”

The man seemed to buy her fake closeness. ”In your room.”

He had taken it from her room in her absence? How shameless. She continued putting on a cute act. ”But I turned my room upside down and couldn't find it? Your eyesight is better than mine.”

”I took it before you came.” he said with a face devoid of expression.

”Why?” she asked, although she could somehow guess the answer.

As expected, his answer was within her prediction. ”Xuanxuan, can you not marry that man?”

Yun Xuan almost coughed out blood. ”How did you know I was planning to get married?” she pretended to be curious.

The man narrowed his eyes at her, feigning a pained expression. ”Don't I know my daughter the most? You have been staying with him so much that you don't even have time to reply your father's messages. Shouldn't a father be able to guess what is going on?”

Hearing that ridiculous explanation, Yun Xuan scolded herself billions of times internally. How had she not ever known that her father was such an actor? The oscars owed him an award.

Huh, since they were both acting, why not continue acting? She wanted to know what he was really thinking.

”Dad, I indeed like Tyler and want to be his wife, but what do you have against him? You hated him from the day I brought him home.”

General Yun seemed to have exoected this question. He gave an answer he had prepared for a long time. ”Xuanxuan, Daddy just wants to make sure you marry the right person. While that man might be nice and capable, he's not as capable as Lu Aotian.”

”Dad, you can't compare every man to Lu Aotian. Not everyone is able to take over a family business at a young age and advance it to such scary heights.” she protested. Although it was almost every woman's dream to marry a man like Lu Aotian, he was not her type.

That man was too powerful, too intelligent, too cold and too perfect for her. Although Wan Jia always said he was warm and protective towards her, she thought her friend was lying. How can such a man be described as warm? With that pair of black scary eyes? Let's not mention how even his martial arts was terrifying. She had only seen him in action once and he had almost scared the life out of her. Thinking about it made her body shiver.

Indeed, such men only needed cheeky little girls like Wan Jia to tease that coldness out of them.
