Ma Peng shook his head, "This matter must be decided by father, we'll ask him first. If father agrees, then you two can see each other. If father disagrees, then let's forget about it."
Zhuang Ruolan hesitated, "Father probably won't agree." If Zhu Hang could rank in the second class, perhaps father might have agreed. Unfortunately, he ranked in the third class, and Zhuang Ruolan felt that Ma Chengteng would most likely not consent, given that there's a significant gap between the second and third class.
Zhuang Ruolan was quite worried. Yueyao indeed had impressive external qualifications, but she also had fatal flaws. First, she had no support from her maternal family; second, she had annulled an engagement before. With these two major obstacles, finding a satisfactory marriage proposal would be as hard as ascending to heaven.
