At the lakeside villa.
When Ma Haodong returned, he saw that Xiao Yuqian was preparing dinner in the kitchen.
Xiao Yuqian heard sounds, came out, and saw he was back. He had an expression of dejection and she could already guess that there was an eighty percent chance that he suffered a major blow.
Just before, she received a call from her boss, President He. He tactfully advised her that President Ma of the Rongma Group already knew about her and Ma Haodong. He hoped she could control herself and not get romantically tangled up with the artists.
Xiao Yuqian came over and asked with concern, âYou really went to see your father?â
âOf course I really went!â
âHe doesnât approve, right?â
âHow did you know?â
âI can tell just by looking at your expression. It is written all over your face!â
âSigh...â Ma Haodong sighed and collapsed onto the sofa.
Xiao Yuqian sat down beside him, pulled his hand over and comforted, âItâs actually fine. Your father opposes it because you are too young. Once three or five years pass and you grow up and mature, he naturally wonât interfere with you.â
Ma Haodong heard this and immediately threw himself over onto her lap. He said, âAfter three or five years, Iâm afraid you wonât wait for me.â
âHow could that be?â
âWhat if you meet a guy who is more mature, charming, and outstanding than me and you donât like me anymore because you have a new choice?â
âAre you stupid. Am I the kind of woman who changes whenever they see someone new? Li Muhao had a platonic love with me and I dated him for three years. We are already in a relationship so I even more so canât leave you.
âThe one who should be afraid is me. If three or five years pass and you meet a girl who is younger, more beautiful and more suitable, would you complain that I am too old?â
After all, Xiao Yuqian was older than him. The one who should feel a lack of security should be her.
âI donât know. I only know that I, Ma Haodong, belong only to a woman called Xiao Yuqian in this life. I want to hold her hand for all my life until my hair turns white with old age.â
Ma Haodong nestled in her embrace like a big boy who had been wronged. Xiao Yuqian touched his head and lowered her head to smile lightly. âYou are really so easy to trick. You canât throw me away just because of one candy?â
Ma Haodong suddenly lifted his head. âYou remembered the incident with the candy?â
âYeah.â
Xiao Yuqian smiled as she nodded and vaguely recalled, âAt that time, you were sniveling like a small little kitten.â
Ma Haodongâs hurt heart was slightly comforted. âI remember you were wearing a princess dress at that time. You were as beautiful as a fairy.â
The two of them started to recall the past together. Ma Haodongâs mood got better again and he said to Xiao Yuqian, âQianqian, Iâve finished thinking about it. Why donât we get a certificate first, okay?â
Ma Haodong didnât want to do it with his fatherâs approval. He wanted to be with Xiao Yuqian and no one could interfere with his decision.
âWeâll talk about it later. This isnât urgent. You just took root in the entertainment industry and havenât stood still yet. Talking about marriage now is too early.â
Xiao Yuqian could also understand why Ma Hangcheng opposed it. After all, the age gap between her and Ma Haodong was very big. Moreover, her mother was Ma Hangchengâs first love in the past. Thatâs why it was probably very difficult for Ma Hangcheng to accept his son being with her.
âAre you complaining about how I donât have my own career yet?â
âCould it be that you donât think men should have their own careers before they get married?â
Xiao Yuqian liked men who were ambitious. She always felt men should at least have a stable career before they get married. It was only then that they could talk about marriage and family. Otherwise, all of it would be a house that was built upon bubbles; there would always be a chance of collapse at any time.â
âThis is easy. As long as I am willing, I can take over the family business at any time.â
