2290 Can fairly compete
“May I ask if Director Si is willing to meet with my daughter?” Yi Lingjun asked.
He already went this far in his words, so Si Yehan had no way of dodging.
Yi Lingjun was considered a virtuous and prestigious person in the Independent State and was also a senior that Si Yehan greatly admired. Since Yi Lingjun said this to him out of love for his own daughter, Si Yehan couldn’t brush him off too harshly.
Hence, after considering for a moment, Si Yehan responded, “Thank you for your high regard, President. With someone like you as her father, your daughter must be a very outstanding woman. Unfortunately, I have a fiancée already.”
Although Si Yehan’s words were tactful, his tone was very resolute.
Yi Lingjun chuckled and uncaringly said, “Since she’s just a fiancée, that means you’re unmarried still. Furthermore, regarding this supposed engagement, I heard that the Nie family and the Si family haven’t concretely agreed to an engagement yet, no?”
Si Yehan furrowed his brows but unfortunately, Yi Lingjun spoke the truth.
Forget about his mother. On Wanwan’s side, her parents also didn’t approve of him and hadn’t relented.
Only Grandpa agreed to their marriage.
Yi Lingjun watched Si Yehan’s expression as he continued, “Since it’s like that, you two are merely lovers. So forgive me for being blunt, but they can compete fairly, no?”
Behind the living room, the corners of Ye Wanwan’s lips kept twitching.
Fair compet.i.tion your a**! You’re clearly using your position as the President to force someone, alright?!
This is a compet.i.tion of dads!
Si Yehan smiled faintly, his expression composed as he said, “Apologies, President. To me, fair compet.i.tion doesn’t exist since no one can compare to her.”
Behind the living room:
Medusa watched this man who remained neither servile nor arrogant when faced with Master’s temptation and started to admire him. “Wow! Little Junior Sister, your taste in men seems to be quite decent… Master went this far already, but he still isn’t tempted? That’s quite a feat already! You must be happy!”
Although Si Yehan resisted the temptation, it still didn’t completely extinguish the fury inside Ye Wanwan.
“What’s there to be happy about, huh?! Qin Xiyuan actually managed to touch his hand! She touched his hand! She touched his hand! She touched his hand…”
Ye Wanwan grumbled on endless repeat.
After Medusa figured out what Ye Wanwan was muttering, she was exasperated. “You’re still hung up about that? What day and age is it? She merely touched his hand…”
“She touched his hand! And it’s just merely?! She touched his hand!!!” Ye Wanwan’s voice nearly leaped an octave but she thankfully managed to restrain herself partway through.
Medusa cleared her throat. “But… he’s a man, so being touched a bit should be fine, right?”
Ye Wanwan ferociously glared at her. “Of course it’s not fine! No one is allowed to touch anyone that’s mine! Not even the tip of his finger!”
Medusa: “So… everything earlier was a pretense, right? This right now is the real you…”
Ye Wanwan: “…”
…
Inside the living room:
Ahhh! He actually didn’t get tricked!
Yi Lingjun never expected this young man to be so tricky. His eyes glinted as he meaningfully said, “Young man, you should never say things too resolutely!”
Si Yehan never expected the direction of today’s conversation to take this turn, so he could only hastily drag the reins back. “President, about the bill…”
Yi Lingjun set down the files and pinched his brows, feigning exhaustion. “Sigh, I’ve truly expended too much energy on my precious daughter’s future marriage recently. Leave these doc.u.ments behind, and I’ll take a look at them when I’m free.”
Ye Wanwan was so angry that she nearly charged out. “…”
Temptation didn’t work so he’s resorting to threats now, huh? Could he be any more shameless?!
