Ye Ning: "..."
So this was why his mother had suffered a difficult labor?
Ye Ning took a deep breath. He felt completely numb.
Was his cheap old dad planning to make him marry some daughter from another great nation?
Ye Ning had been lucky enough to see those "beautiful as flowers" princesses a few times before. He shuddered instinctively.
If he really had to marry one of those women, Ye Ning felt he might as well just die now.
"Tell me... you're not planning to make me marry some other Daimyo's daughter, are you?"
"No, no, no, no! How could I possibly throw my son into a fire pit?"
The Daimyo waved his hands repeatedly. He clearly knew what those princesses looked like.
"My son is so handsome and dashing. How could any of them possibly be worthy of him?"
Those words made Ye Ning's heart soar, but they also made him even more wary.
The more his cheap old dad said things like that... the more suspicious it seemed!

"If my son really had to marry one of those princesses and face her every day, it would certainly be a hardship for him."
"Whatever you say, I won't marry anyone you choose for me... absolutely not!"
Ye Ning's face was full of resistance.
Who knew who his cheap old dad wanted him to marry?
Whoever it was, he wouldn't agree!
"Then... what about little Tsunade?"
"That won't work either... Hmm? Who did you say?"
Ye Ning suddenly snapped to attention and met the Daimyo's smiling gaze.
Tsunade?
Ah! She'd do.
She was a bit of a brat, but she really was beautiful! And those two full, round melons
