Seeing his son's resolve, Hua Zhiqiang nodded. "Sigh, you're grown up now, with your own ideas. I can't control you anymore. Since you've even been through life and death, you've naturally figured a lot of things out. If you think being with that woman makes it all worthwhile, I won't stand in your way. But you have to promise me you won't break off the engagement now. You must wait until after Elder Gu is in power, or until the Guo Family proposes to end it. Can you do that?"
Hua Yusen knew the stakes were high and that this was indeed not something he could be willful about. He nodded and said, "Yes, Father. Thank you for supporting and understanding me."
