"No!" The old man was the first to object. After saying this, he coughed again.
In the past, whenever he coughed, Xue Sheng would give in. However, today, Xue Sheng poured a cup of tea and passed it to him with a determined look.
The old patriarch took a sip of tea and suppressed the itch in his throat. He then placed the teacup on the coffee table and sighed. "Son, I don't have many years left to live. Can't you guys split up after I go?"
Xue Sheng said, "Dad, you also agree to let Xixi accompany Lu Chao for dinner?"
The old man's face darkened. "Of course not!"
Xue Sheng's heart warmed, but before he could speak, the old patriarch softened his tone. "However, it's not impossible that Lu Chao is actually pursuing Xue Xi sincerely, and if so, he has to show this sincerity. A daughter from my family must marry him openly."
Xue Sheng clenched his jaw as his eyes turned cold.
