Su Muqing quickly sent a message, briefly explaining the situation, but she exaggerated how despicable the young man before her was.
Su Wanxue was somewhat surprised and couldn’t help but scrutinize Li Hao, wondering who this person was that made her father yield to such an extent.
"Young man, do not push your luck. Do you really think having the Emperor behind you allows you to threaten the Su Family?!"
Beside her, Su Qingmei was indignant, her eyes full of coldness as she spoke.
Li Hao glanced at her, then bowed his head, clasping his hands, and said, "Madam, this junior only wishes to stay by Miss Su Muqing’s side. I hope Madam can fulfill this wish."
"Hmph!"
Su Qingmei couldn’t help but laugh coldly.
Su Zhenyuan fell into silence. The smile on his face faded, and the hall plunged into a deadly silence, with the air seemingly turning extremely heavy.
Su Muqing was about to speak but seeing her father’s somber expression, she held back.
"If you truly insist on this..."
After a long time, Su Zhenyuan finally spoke, his eyes black as stars, staring at Li Hao. Unlike before, his demeanor was no longer gentle and refined but exuded a strong domineering aura, an Emperor’s Might emanating.
"I can give you a chance, but whether you can seize it is up to you. If you fail, the marriage contract is nullified, and it cannot be considered the Su Family’s breach of the ancestors’ promise. What do you say?"
Li Hao felt a tightness in his chest and couldn’t help but take a deep breath. He knew this might be his only chance.
After all, this marriage contract was merely a gift from the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor, and he stood here solely because of it. Besides that, he was nothing in front of the colossus that is the Su Family.
"What chance?"
Li Hao asked in a steady voice.
Su Zhenyuan slowly said, "Muqing already has a verbal marriage agreement with the Lin Family’s Emperor’s Son, but the betrothal gifts have not been delivered. If you can make Muqing change her mind and win her approval, I will permit you to be together!"
He had just finished speaking when Su Muqing hurriedly said,
"Impossible, I can never fancy him. Don’t even think about it!"
Su Zhenyuan’s eyes narrowed, releasing a heavy pressure that made Su Muqing’s face turn pale with fear, daring not to speak again.
She knew her father cherished them greatly, yet some of his ideas had never been altered by anyone, he was adamant and intensely disliked disobedience.
Beside her, Su Qingmei’s expression also changed, but seeing Su Muqing’s reaction, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and mockingly looked at that young man, her eyes full of undisguised ridicule.
Li Hao also heard Su Muqing’s words. Although he knew that Su Muqing was not Ying Xiaoxiao, nor Shi Miao from the past and future, he was inexplicably stung by her words, feeling a bit of heartache.
However, he quickly collected himself, his thoughts racing as he then spoke:
"Is there a time limit?"
"Ten years."
Su Zhenyuan said.
Li Hao’s expression changed slightly, slowly but firmly shaking his head, "Too short."
The other party exchanged a lifetime for his survival, ten years of panionship is too short.
"Hmm?"
Su Zhenyuan frowned.
Li Hao was silent for a moment, then said, "One hundred years! During these hundred years, I must have equal rights with Miss Su. She cannot drive me away from her side!"
"You’re dreaming!"
Su Muqing’s face flushed with anger, and she couldn’t help but turn to look at her father.
Su Zhenyuan fell into silence, the hall instantly became quiet. Su Wanqing and Su Wanxue widened their eyes, looking at their father in shock, not opposing on the spot? Could it be that their father really...
Su Qingmei’s expression also changed, looking somewhat unsightly, clenching her hands tightly.
"Fine, I agree to your terms."
As the atmosphere became suffocating, Su Zhenyuan spoke.
