Father Du sneered and said coldly: "My daughter has outstanding talent and beauty, and our family doesn't care about your status and wealth, so there is no need for my daughter to be your little wife."

Faced with his sarcasm and coldness, Xiao Ling remained calm and said, neither humble nor arrogant: "Although I have many confidantes, they are only distinguished by their age and not by their status. How come there is such a thing as a little wife and a big wife?" "

"That won't work either." Father Du showed his domineering attitude to the fullest, "My daughter has both good looks and good looks. There is no need for her to be forced to share the same husband with others. Whether others are willing to do so or not is their business. My daughter has nothing to do with it. Money matters.”

Du Xiyan choked up and said, "Dad, I'm not wronged. I don't feel wronged at all. We get along very well, really."

"That's not okay. If you say no, you won't allow it!" Father Du glared at her angrily, and then stared at Xiao Ling with cold eyes, "Go away, you and Xiyan are destined to be together, and it will not be good for everyone to continue to be entangled. , it would be better for everyone to let go as soon as possible."[

"Impossible, I will never let go, let alone give up, not even to death." Xiao Ling faced the emperor's aura of a middle-aged man with no martial arts, Du Du, and of course he would not flinch. The emperor's aura gradually spread out, and he was tit for tat with Father Du.

Du Xiyan saw the two most important men in her life being at loggerheads and refusing to give in to each other. She couldn't help but feel heartbroken, sobbed, and shook her head with tears in her eyes: "Dad, don't be like this, don't be like this."

Father Du looked at his beloved daughter's tearful and heartbroken expression. A touch of heartache and unbearableness flashed across his face. He gritted his teeth, hardened his heart, and said coldly: "You are still young now. You know this at a young age." I don’t blame you. After you broke off the relationship with her, based on your conditions, you don’t have a man with any conditions you want? Why should you have to embarrass yourself and share the same husband with someone else? "

"I'm not wronged, I'm not wronged at all, I'm willing to do it." Du Xiyan cried so hard that her cheeks were wet with tears, and she shook her head sadly, "I don't want other men with good conditions. As long as he is, dad, you can fulfill your daughter's needs."

Xiao Ling had never seen Du Xiyan crying so sadly. She was so distressed that she could no longer restrain herself from standing up. She walked over to her, ignoring her parents, hugged her and comforted her as tenderly as water: "Xiyan, be good and say goodbye." Cry, don't worry, I will definitely convince your dad, don't be sad yet."

"Really?" Father Du sneered and said arrogantly, "I wonder how you plan to convince me?"

"Yes, you are Xiyan's father, you gave her life, so she respects you, and I should respect you as well. However, when it comes to her lifelong happiness, she should make her own decision. Even if you are her father, She has no right to interfere, let alone make decisions for her." Xiao Ling faced the cold and serious Father Du, patting Du Xiyan's shoulder and back to comfort her while making eye contact with Father Du.

Father Du seemed to have heard a huge fallacy and sneered: "I am her father. Of course I have the right and obligation to pull her back when she takes a detour and arrange for her to get on the right track. I will arrange better conditions for her." A good man only cares about her lifelong happiness, so why not?"

Xiao Ling responded tit for tat and immediately retorted: "Now is no longer the feudal era of parents' orders and matchmakers' words, but the era of free love. Xiyan is already twenty-two years old and has her own independent thoughts and will. She You have the right to choose your own happiness."

"Happiness?" Father Du still put on an expression as if he had heard "the greatest absurdity in the world" and said with a smile, "You are a playboy and a playboy, but you dare to say that you will give her happiness? You are really arrogant and do not know your own abilities."

This is Xiao Ling's flaw. It is indeed not the era of "parents' names, matchmaker's words", but it is also not the era of "three wives and four concubines, hugging each other", but focusing on single-mindedness. However, he can't Avoid this question: "Yes, besides Xiyan, I have other women, but just because of this does not deny my sincerity and my love for Xiyan. And it cannot be judged just because I am more than just Xiyan." I can't give Xiyan happiness. When Xiyan marries me, I can't love Xiyan wholeheartedly, but that doesn't mean I don't love her. If she marries someone else, maybe some people can only have her as their only woman in their lives, but that doesn't mean that I don't love her. He is sincerely interested in Xiyan, and it doesn't mean that she is happy. You can't preemptively deny me and sentence me to death just because I have other confidante."

"You tell me your sincerity? Well, I'll tell you my sincerity." Father Du sneered at his words, "I don't know if the sincerity you are talking about is divided into so many parts, and after being distributed to so many people, there are still How much is left for my daughter?”

"The price of sincerity is also measured. It can be divided into bigger or smaller parts. Even if my sincerity is divided into multiple points, Xiyan only gets a part of it, but she still gets my sincerity. Even if she can't get all of my sincerity, it doesn't mean that she can't get it all." She will definitely not be as happy as those women who get their man's whole heart. On the contrary, I will do my best to treat her better than anyone else. I will make her the happiest woman in the world and let her not You will regret choosing me, so you will not regret leaving her to me." Xiao Ling said affectionately and firmly.

Under his comfort, Du Xiyan in his arms slowly stopped crying and said to Father Du sincerely: "Dad, I believe he will do what he says, and he will definitely be able to do it. You can help your daughter." OK?"

Father Du had a straight face, snorted and glanced at her, his eyes saying "You are really worthless".

Du Xiyan turned to Bai Wei and said, "Mom, tell me something, can't you understand your daughter's mood?"

Bai Wei sighed: "Xi Yan, there are so many good men in the world, why do you just fall in love with such a carefree man?"

"But my daughter just fell in love with her. This is destined. No one can change it. What can my daughter do?" Du Xiyan sobbed again and lay in Xiao Ling's arms, sobbing softly. She already belongs to Xiao Ling. In this life, she will only marry him. Please ask your parents to make it happen. If you don’t agree, then your daughter will never marry. If you want to force your daughter to marry someone else, I’m sorry that she can’t do it. My daughter will resist. If I die, I will not be able to reflect on my parents’ kindness in raising me in the next life.”

"Xiyan, what did you say?" Father Du slammed the coffee table in a rage, the sound echoed throughout the hall, and the water in the cup shook and splashed out.[

Du Xiyan was so frightened by his roar that she trembled all over. Xiao Ling hugged her and said softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Bai Wei looked at Du Xiyan sadly: "Xiyan, my parents are the ones who suffer the consequences of my body and skin. Why do you say such words that ignore life?"

Du Xiyan felt timid and whispered: "Dad, Mom, my daughter knows she was wrong and will never dare to do it again."

"Hmph!" Father Du gave her a look of hatred, and then stared at Xiao Ling, as if he was so angry that he was about to spit out fire, and he was so bitter and resentful that he wanted to kill someone.

The atmosphere in the hall became very tense and eerily quiet. Only Du Xiyan would sob every now and then.

"Did you quarrel just now?" Du Chaoyan suddenly walked over, and the originally tense atmosphere eased a bit because of her arrival.

Bai Wei glanced at her: "If you don't take a nap up there, why did you come down here?"

"Oh Mom, you guys are making such a loud noise, how can I sleep?" Du Chaoyan walked over and sat down, "What did you say you were so excited about? I'll listen to it too."

Father Du said calmly: "Since you can't sleep, then go to class."

"Going to class?" Du Chaoyan was dumbfounded, "Dad, it's only a little past one o'clock. There must be no ghosts in the classroom. I'm going there to watch the wind."

"No one is better. The environment is quiet and you can study." Mr. Du said with a straight face.

"Then I'd better go back to sleep." Du Chaoyan stuck out his tongue and slipped back to sleep.

After Du Chaoyan left, Father Du looked at Du Xiyan: "Xiyan, have you really decided not to marry anyone but him?"

Du Xiyan nodded and said, "Yes, please ask dad to make it happen."

Father Du looked at Xiao Ling: "How can you prove that you will be good to Xi Yan all your life and make her happier than any other woman?"

"I know I can't make you believe what I say, but time can prove that what I say is true."

"Time to prove? The premise is that we have to agree to let Xi Yan marry you, and then you have time to prove it to us. But why do you want us to give Xi Yan to you?" Du Lao mocked that he was putting the cart before the horse.

"Xi Yan is so determined that she won't marry her unless I am, which means that I am absolutely sincere to her. Isn't that enough? You won't ask me to dig out my heart and show it to you." Xiao Ling smiled bitterly.

"If I say yes, will you do it?" Father Du said coldly.

"I can." Xiao Ling picked up the fruit on the coffee table and pointed the tip of the knife towards his heart, about to stab him. Du Xiyan couldn't help but panic: "No, you can't do something stupid." At the same time, he grabbed his hand. He held up his hand to stop him from stabbing, and said to Father Du: "Dad, please don't force him, he is a fool who will really stab."

Xiao Ling opened Du Xiyan's hand with her left hand and was about to stab the knife into his chest when a bare hand quickly snatched the fruit knife from his hand.

When everyone saw that the fruit knife had been transferred to Du Chaoyan's hand, she said with a smile: "I didn't mean to eavesdrop, I was just curious, just curious, haha..." After that, she took the fruit knife and ran away.[

Xiao Ling looked at her back and thought to herself, sure enough, what he saw at the door just now was not an illusion...

Father Du sighed: "That's all, you have passed the test."

Du Xiyan was taken aback for a moment and said calmly: "Dad, what did you say?"

Bai Wei explained: "Actually, before you came, your future mother-in-law had already come to us, told us a lot, and told us everything about your situation. However, I raised two A daughter who has been like a flower for ten years cannot be handed over to the Xiao family so easily, and she is still his little wife. Therefore, your father and I decided to test him first to see if he can trust us to hand you over to him. Give it to him, it depends on whether he is sincere to you. Now, he is barely qualified."

Du Xiyan burst into tears and smiled: "Thank you, parents, for helping me. Thank you."

Xiao Ling also breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, uncle, thank you aunt, thank you for raising Xiyan, thank you for giving her to me."

Father Du snorted lightly and said calmly: "Don't be too happy too early. Although you barely passed the test, it's not that easy to marry my daughter."

"Dad..." Du Xiyan thought that her father was going to go back on his word and make things difficult for Xiao Ling, so she couldn't help but become anxious.

"Xi Yan, listen to what your father says first." Bai Wei comforted her.

Xiao Ling said sincerely: "Whatever your uncle wants me to do, just ask and I will definitely do it."

"We have only one condition." Dad Du said, "We have worked hard to raise our daughter so big, and our biggest wish is to see her find someone who can accompany her throughout her life and make her happy. Therefore, we may give our daughter a name I will follow you everywhere, at least you must give her a status, even if you cannot marry her publicly, you must give us an explanation in private so that Xiyan can have a complete marriage."

"I understand, I will definitely let Xi Yan be with me legitimately." What he wanted was to give Xi Yan a wedding, and Xiao Ling understood.

Father Du said with some reluctance: "Then let's wait and see. If you dare to break your promise, if you dare to live up to Xi Yan, then I will really dig out your heart."

Xiao Ling looked at Du Xiyan with a smile: "I won't let Xiyan become a widow." Du Xiyan felt deeply about his affection, looked at him and smiled sweetly. To the point.

"I hope you can do what you say." Father Du's face softened a little, and his voice became less indifferent.
