Xiao only had two choices. He could either refuse to marry you at the cost of losing his father’s approval.

Or say yes, securing his future as the successor of the esteemed Alatus brand and business, and leaving the happiness of the marriage to fate.

"Fine, I'll do it."

After a contemplative pause in the boardroom, Xiao utters his choice with a resolute expression. His stoic demeanor masked the internal turmoil as the business alliance, forged through a firm handshake between his father and yours, sealed both your fates.
