The two of them had fallen asleep without realizing it.
When Zhang Ze woke up again, he felt himself being held in Huo Cifeng's arms.
The room seemed a bit noisy. He slowly opened his eyes and saw his father, Zhang De, with the worry of an old father and the grief and indignation of making his son endure such humiliation.
Zhang Ze:...
Huo Cifeng: "Alright, stop arguing. Go out, Uncle Zhang. I'll take good care of Xiao Ze."
Zhang De said, his voice trembling, " Chairman Huo, look at your son! He's practically snatched my son into his arms, and now he won't let me see him! What kind of nonsense is this?"
Huo Tianheng stood there, rubbing his forehead, and said with a headache, "Just let them get along. They're such a good match. Let's leave it at that. I'll send someone to your house to propose marriage tomorrow."
Zhang Ze:?
Huo Cifeng's lips curled into a satisfied smile.
Zhang De nearly fainted from anger, but Zhang Ze's stepmother caught him. " A De, don't be angry. Xiao Ze is awake. Listen to what he has to say."
Zhang Ze: "..." I'm mute, what can I say? Bitterness. JPG
Wait, is this the important point?
Shouldn't we ask Xiao Feng?
Even Xiao Feng hasn't forgiven him.
Besides, shouldn't he marry Xiao Feng? No, that seems to be possible too.
Zhang Ze's mind was in complete chaos.
Unexpectedly, the next second Huo Cifeng kissed his forehead, "Awake?"
Zhang Ze:...
Come on, there are so many people here. Can't Xiao Feng be a little more reserved? Wait a minute, has he been too obsessed with the token lately? He hasn't even noticed that Xiao Feng has kissed him so many times!
Huo Tianheng, watching from the side, felt a throbbing pain in his forehead. He said with a forced smile, " Zhang De, let's go outside and talk. You know your son Xiao Ze can't speak right now. Let's, as parents, think about what's best for our child."
Zhang De looked at his former boss, who was as cunning as ever, and sighed helplessly, "Alright, let's talk then."
Seeing that his son didn't refute him at all, but instead looked completely absorbed, he felt frustrated and worried that he might accidentally ruin his son's good time.
When he inquired about the situation with his bodyguard, he learned that his son seemed to have fallen for this young master Huo. Zhang De, who doted on his child, even considered whether he should offer advice if his son couldn't win over the young master Huo Family.
Who knew things would develop so rapidly, leaving him completely unable to keep up?
And aren't the loves and hates of this younger generation a bit too intense?
The group sat down in the living room, and the butler poured tea for everyone.
Zhang De was no longer in the mood for tea and went straight to the point. " The Fan Family's troubles also started because of your son. You've been raising a tiger to your own detriment to the Fan Family."
Luckily, my son was quick-witted and escaped death. Tell me, if he had stayed with our son, who knows how many dangers he would have faced in the future."
Huo Tianheng patted Zhang De on the back, "You know, we get back what we lost from where we lost it. A week from now, the siege of Fan Corporation's [ Youlian ] will end, Huo Corporation's will transfer all of its shares in [ Youlian ] to Zhang Ze. What do you think?"
Zhang De paused for a moment. "Are you sure? This would be tantamount to the Zhang Family completely swallowing up [ Youlian ]?"
Huo Tianheng nodded. "Why not? Besides, this is compensation for my future daughter-in-law. As for the dowry, we can discuss that later."
Zhang De's eyes widened. "What do you mean? Why don't you say you'd let your son marry into the family?"
Huo Tianheng leaned back, crossed his legs, and said without hesitation, "Whatever, they're both in college now and they're both 20. We can get the paperwork done tomorrow."
It's good that they got married, otherwise his son would keep someone else's son trapped in his own home and would never let him go.
It was only when the father threatened to call the police that Huo Tianheng had no choice but to let the person in. Once inside, he saw his own son comfortably reading a book while holding someone else's child.
This is really like some kind of imprisonment game... How terrible it would be if word got out.
Zhang De was rendered speechless by Huo Tianheng's words, which showed no competitive spirit whatsoever.
Finally, the stepmother spoke up, " A De, why don't we listen to the children's opinions? Marriage should be based on mutual affection, shouldn't it?"
Zhang De: "..." It would be fine if they didn't like each other, but look at my own son, he doesn't seem to have been forced at all.
Huo Tianheng nodded in agreement, "That works too, the result is the same anyway."
Zhang Ze, who was being fed grapes, had no idea that his marriage was about to be finalized.
night
Zhang Ze indeed saw the god again, who weakly said to him, "You two are simply not human!"
Zhang Ze:?
You can speak in your dreams.
Zhang Ze: "Huh? What did you say?"
The god removed his hat. "Look at my face. Because you both carry a tiny bit of my divine power, you were subjected to physical attacks in my dreams. The night you got into trouble, Huo Cifeng beat me up before letting me go. Tell me, why were you two so violent!"
Zhang Ze scratched his head sheepishly. "Sorry."
At that moment Huo Cifeng suddenly appeared beside him. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself. Shouldn't a god's injury be healed with magic?"
The god was provoked. In order to show that he was not weak, he instantly healed himself and forgot about playing the victim.
Zhang Ze:...
Huo Cifeng said calmly, "So, can the deal begin?"
God took the token from his hand from afar, angrily uttered a single sentence, and then vanished.
"Understood, I won't owe you anything."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Cifeng felt his body instantly relax.
Zhang Ze: "??"
Watching Huo Cifeng walk towards him step by step, Zhang Ze swallowed hard and subconsciously took a few steps back.
" Xiao Feng, what are you doing... You don't mean to kill me, do you? Fine, then kill me..." Zhang Ze looked at Huo Cifeng's bloodshot eyes. Although he knew it was a dream, he was still prepared to die.
The next second, he was instantly bound by vines.
