Mr. Tao's expression did not improve despite Gu Yang's statement. He remained stern, looking at Gu Yang. "Actually, I do not approve of my daughter marrying a soldier. Being a military wife is very tough, and she is my only daughter. I don't ask for her to be wealthy, I just hope she can find someone who loves her and lead a peaceful life. But you, you do not meet my standard for a son-in-law."
He spoke candidly, and Gu Yang's heart suddenly tightened. Even though he had prepared for such a response, being looked down upon because of his profession still left him inexplicably sad.
"But," Mr. Tao took a different turn, "my daughter likes you, and she has been silently waiting for you for many years. My wife and I have tried many times to persuade her to give you up, but she simply won't listen to us. We are not those kinds of feudal parents. If my daughter wants to be with you, I won't forcibly separate you two."
