Ascend on the Spot

"By the way, weren't you and Director Sun's daughter getting along well before?"

"Why did it suddenly fall through? Was there something wrong with the girl?"

As soon as Cheng Ye finished speaking, Gao Qiang shook his head.

"It wasn't that she was bad. I just suddenly realized we weren't suitable for each other."

"Not suitable?" Cheng Ye was even more puzzled.

"She was pretty and gentle-tempered. When did you decide you weren't suitable?"

Gao Qiang fell silent for a moment before saying, "When Sun Haimin was promoted to director last month."

The confusion on Cheng Ye's face instantly vanished. He nodded in understanding.

"You were afraid he wouldn't be happy when he came back."

Gao Qiang nodded. "Something like that. The young master doesn't like these kinds of nepotistic entanglements."

He paused, then added,

"I've already arranged a marriage. She's a humanities teacher at Jingwu University. The wedding is set for the day after tomorrow. I only invited relatives from both sides and some of my former colleagues."

"So soon!? But it's a good thing." Cheng Ye patted him on the shoulder.

"At your age, you should've settled down long ago. Will he come back?"

Gao Qiang shook his head.

"The young master doesn't know about this, and I have no way to contact him."

The smile on Cheng Ye's face instantly faded. He sighed again and looked out the window.

"That kid's been gone for half a year in the blink of an eye, and there hasn't even been a word from him."

"Who knows what realm he's reached by now. He should already be a Ninth Order Martial God, right?"

"I think it's more than that." Gao Qiang was utterly certain. "The young master has definitely surpassed the Martial God realm."

Hearing that, Cheng Ye sighed deeply.
