Jiang Xiao and Meng Xinian reassure each other of their commitment and protection amidst worries about her unique abilities. Jiang Shiheng supports their plan to marry on August 27th, but suggests a separate banquet at the Jiang family home afterward to formally acknowledge Jiang Xiao and introduce Meng Xinian. Meng Xinian agrees, provided the wedding happens first, and seeks Jiang Xiao's consent, which she gives despite her reservations about facing her enemies.

But holding this banquet this time also tells everyone that she is Jiang Shiheng’s daughter, Meng Xinian is Jiang Shiheng’s son-in-law, Sixth Young Master Jiang is not alone.

So this banquet is not as simple as a wedding feast.

"Then wait until after August 27th to pick a date, this date can be decided by you and Old Master Jiang."

"Alright, I’ll go back and discuss it with your great-grandfather. He’s actually been eagerly waiting for Little to come back and recognize her ancestry."

While they were talking here, Ding Haijing and Ding Fu were sitting on a fishing boat outside, chatting in the sea breeze.

The two talked and talked, and inevitably, the topic shifted to Jiang Xiao.

"You don’t need to worry about that girl all the time," Ding Haijing, having heard his old man repeatedly talk about how to protect and take care of Jiang Xiao, felt annoyed as he said, "She’s not stupid or silly, is skilled, quick-minded, and won’t suffer many disadvantages, why always worry about her?"

"It’s not that I’m always worrying about her, it’s just that I’m afraid you won’t give your best efforts," Ding Fu replied.

Ding Haijing felt helpless, "Dad, I’ve already listened to you and decided not to do any other work for the rest of my life, just be her bodyguard forever, what more do you want from me?"

Is this really his own father?

Why always worry about someone else’s daughter?

At least worry a bit about your own son.

Ding Fu looked at him, and that gaze made Ding Haijing suddenly feel a bit uneasy.

"Dad, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Xiao Jing, even though I’ve always told you to protect Little well, let me tell you, you can’t have any improper thoughts about her. She already has a fiancé, you can’t be the kind of bad person who breaks up an engagement, causing any trouble in Little’s marriage," Ding Fu said.

Ding Haijing: "..."

Is this really his father or not?

If you say he’s not his father, Ding Fu seems to have quite a bit of confidence in him, thinking that if he really had improper thoughts about Jiang Xiao, he could take her away from Meng Xinian?

Could he really cause trouble in Jiang Xiao and Meng Xinian’s marriage?

If you say he is his father, what’s wrong with Meng Xinian that he can’t have any improper thoughts about Jiang Xiao?

Pah.

He didn’t mean that himself.

Where did he have any improper thoughts about Jiang Xiao?

"Dad, you can be absolutely assured, I really don’t have any improper thoughts about her."

"Why?" Ding Fu was a bit puzzled, "You don’t think a girl like Little is attractive?"

Ding Haijing: "..."

Dad, would kneeling before you be enough?

What is he supposed to do?

Having improper thoughts about Jiang Xiao isn’t okay, not having improper thoughts isn’t okay?

Does not having improper thoughts about Jiang Xiao mean he doesn’t find her attractive?

He originally wanted to explain that it’s definitely not that he finds Jiang Xiao unattractive, but now thinking about it, if he explains, his dad might think he really has improper thoughts about Jiang Xiao.

Better to let it go.

"Xiao Jing, your standards shouldn’t be too high. Although you’re Little’s bodyguard now, if you get married your mind may be preoccupied, but eventually, you still need to get married. You won’t easily find someone if your standards are too high," Ding Fu said to him earnestly.

Ding Haijing: "..."

"Dad, what age do you think is suitable for me to find someone?" He was truly curious now, really wanted to know what his father was thinking.

"Thirty-five is fine too," Ding Fu replied, "Look at Sixth Young Master, isn’t he still handsome? Who knows how many girls like him, so Xiao Jing, we don’t need to rush."
