"Well, I’ll give you the chance to choose for yourself, as your sister should have told you, if you don’t find a girl you like within three months, I will finalize this marriage with the Ruan Family."
"Father, marriage is not child’s play."
"Exactly, marriage is not child’s play, it’s a life choice, and you should know why I want you to settle a marriage before you turn twenty-eight."
"I know, isn’t it just for the inheritance rights?" Li Yuan said, his tone slightly impatient.
Regarding the inheritance rights, he really had no interest at all, nor did he want to sacrifice his own marriage for something he genuinely didn’t care about!
"Is it just that?" Li Xiangyang retorted.
Li Yuan paused and didn’t continue.
He knew his father cared deeply about the family’s inheritance rights. If he didn’t set a marriage before the age of 28, the vast family business of the Li Family would be inherited by his uncle, as specified in the will drafted by his grandfather years ago.
Over the phone, it took a while before Li’s father spoke, "Don’t try any tricks, I’ll have your sister oversee you. Also, remember that just finding any girl won’t work, because after dating, you still have to bring the one you admire back for your uncle and others to approve."
Li Yuan was stunned; he just knew it wouldn’t work.
"Moreover, she must be a match in terms of social status, otherwise, she cannot become the daughter-in-law of the Li Family, and you will lose your inheritance rights because of it."
Listening to his father’s somewhat mundane words, Li Yuan seemed quite impatient, "Is there anything else? I’m going to sleep, it’s already 11:30."
Due to the time difference, it was daytime where Li Xiangyang was, and it was late at night where Li Yuan was.
Realizing this, Li Xiangyang didn’t say anything more, "Go to sleep."
With a soft ’Mm’, Li Yuan directly hung up the phone.
Just after hanging up, the vivid and pretty face of Huo Yishan flashed through his mind.
He glanced at the time, it was already late at night, wondering if she was asleep at this hour?
Thinking about it, he became even more restless, eventually tossing and turning to get out of bed, grabbed a jacket, and went out.
It was still extremely cold in the middle of the night this season.
Huo Yishan was naturally afraid of the cold. She had been sleeping for who knows how long, feeling cold, she pulled up the blanket over herself.
She moved a little, suddenly waking up due to the urge to pee...
She opened her eyes, her brows slightly furrowed, and she got out of bed, planning to hop to the bathroom on one leg.
Aside from the injury on her calf, she was in good spirits, so going to the bathroom didn’t seem very difficult. The most update n0vels are published on ɴovᴇl(F)ɪre.ɴet
Moving slowly, walking on one foot was indeed tiring, but luckily, the bathroom was just past the head of the bed.
"What are you doing!?"
Just as she prepared to hop forward another step, a roar suddenly came from behind her, and in the quiet of the deep night, it was truly a bit frightening...
Huo Yishan was startled. She was about to hop forward when the sound from behind scared her, causing her to lose balance immediately.
Teetering, she tried to grab hold of the head of the bed, but, being too far away, she flailed for a while and couldn’t reach it.
Seeing this, Li Yuan was also scared. He dashed over to her side and instantly embraced her as she swayed!
The fall during the day had truly frightened Huo Yishan, and instinctively she clung to his arm, her face turning pale.
