Wang Zheng, "Doctor Zhang, why are you targeting our daughter? Just because you healed our father last ti doesn't an we'll hand our precious daughter over to you!"
In Wang Zheng's eyes, Zhang Wei needed to be stopped.
He must protect his daughter from falling into his perceived evil clutches.
If Zhang Wei knew how they were evaluating him, he'd undoubtedly beat each and every one of them.
He was drawn to beauty, regardless of age; the more youthful, the better.
"Oh, that's fine. It's your daughter's choice whether to be with or not. Stop butting into her personal life," Zhang Wei remarked, his tone carrying a hint of indifference.
!!
Xiong i, who had been silent, couldn't help but internally chuckle.
She didn't quite believe that Zhang Wei would apply these words to his own life, but his ability to effortlessly utter them in this context was both amusing and impressive.
Her eyes glistened with suppressed laughter as she observed the now fuming Wang Zheng.
'Doctor?' Xiong i then whispered to herself, glancing at Zhang Wei with slight surprise. 'Uh-huh, Xiong i, don't ask! If you speak too much, he might employ so weird way to silence you,' she warned herself, shaking her head to dispel her curiosity and doubts.
She was all too aware of the various embarrassing thods Zhang Wei had at his disposal to prevent won from speaking too much.
It was better to be an obedient canary!
After all, there were nurous benefits: free food, a place to live, and occasional head pats.
The advantages were vast, and Xiong i had slowly started to adapt to this new lifestyle.

The door creaked, drawing all eyes as Wang Liang reappeared, wearing a satisfied smile.
Following him was Wang Xiaoying, walking gracefully and taking her seat beside her mother.
Her gaze briefly t Zhang Wei's, a silent acknowledgnt that she had played her part.
Lei Juan leaned in, her whispers like a gentle breeze, interrogating her daughter about the recent conversation.
anwhile, Wang Zheng, overco with curiosity, stood up and approached his father. "Father, what did she say?" he asked eagerly.
Wang Liang cast a aningful look at both Wang Xiaoying and Zhang Wei before delivering the announcent, his eyes twinkling with satisfaction. "It's settled! Little Ying has agreed to the marriage!"
"What!?" Wang Zheng exclaid, stunned, his eyes quickly shifting to Wang Xiaoying. "... Ying'er, you don't have to force yourself. Is soone pressuring you?" Worry creased his brow as he swiftly moved to her side, concern evident in his voice.
With a reassuring smile, Wang Xiaoying shook her head, her voice steady and composed. "No one is pressuring . I made this decision for myself, and I stand by it," she affird, a slight blush gracing her cheeks.
Her eyes flickered towards Zhang Wei, conveying a subtle ssage that was misconstrued by everyone present.
Wang Zheng's eyes widened in shock. "B-But father, isn't Doctor Zhang already married?" The realization hit him like a tidal wave.
Even if he sohow managed to overlook Zhang Wei's potential charm on his daughter and his playboy reputation in his mind, what about his marital status?
Zhang Wei maintained a calm deanor, adjusting his way of addressing Wang Zheng to be slightly more polite. "Elder Zheng, you're not planning for your daughter to marry the very next day, are you? It will take a few years, and we can address that issue when the ti cos."
Wang Zheng wasn't reassured; panic surged through him. Was Zhang Wei willing to divorce his existing wife to marry his daughter?
What was happening?
Wasn't he just a playboy looking to sleep with his daughter?
Had he completely misunderstood Zhang Wei's intentions?
Lei Juan's gaze flickered at the sa ti, and a fleeting glance at Xiong i made her instantly realize that sothing was amiss.
Observing the unfolding events, Wang Liang was most satisfied with the outco.
Internally, he had clarified the entire situation to Wang Xiaoying, leaving the final decision in her hands.
Little did he know, Zhang Wei had long promised Wang Xiaoying that as long as she played along, he would buy them ti, and eventually, everyone would forget about the proposed marriage.
The prospect of the impending marriage would soon fade into the background, and during this period, she would have the freedom to pursue her desires.
Wang Xiaoying had her heart set on attending college and studying in the capital, her lack of interest in a partner driven by this ambition.
Zhang Wei didn't object; he let her carve her own path.
However, Wang Liang had discreetly assigned a few individuals to keep an eye on Wang Xiaoying, ensuring she didn't engage in anything reckless behind Zhang Wei's back.
As for whether Zhang Wei would ultimately take his granddaughter as a wife or concubine, he didn't concern himself with the specifics.

As Wang Xiaoying was left alone with Zhang Wei for few minutes, a sense of unease settled within her, causing her to finally speak up. "... Are you a martial artist?" she asked, her voice tinged with hesitation.
Zhang Wei's brow furrowed in surprise as he nodded slowly. "Did that old fart tell you?" he responded, his tone laced with mixed emotions.
Wang Xiaoying nodded in affirmation, her expression growing complex. "That old fart is my grandfather," she admitted with a wry smile, before releasing a heavy sigh. "So... You can break bricks and run on walls?" she inquired, suspicion creeping into her voice.
"..."
The words hung in the air, montarily leaving Zhang Wei at a loss for words.
He nearly choked on his tea as his mind raced to formulate a response.
"So you can't...?" Wang Xiaoying's disappointnt seeped through her voice, as she tried to reconcile her grandfather's ominous warnings with the seemingly unremarkable man standing before her.
Zhang Wei appeared entirely ordinary, causing her to montarily forget about the incident of him molesting her earlier.
Her confusion beca apparent as she unknowingly scrutinized his unassuming deanor.
Running a hand across his forehead in resignation, Zhang Wei glanced at the now-curious Wang Xiaoying.
The old man's overzealousness in disclosing unnecessary details to this girl struck him as absurd, yet potentially advantageou situation.
Suddenly, a mischievous smile played upon Zhang Wei's lips as he beckoned her to approach.
"??"
Intrigued by his change in deanor, Wang Xiaoying blinked in confusion before cautiously stepping forward.
Zhang Wei extended his hands toward her, his eyes twinkling with anticipation.
A mixture of curiosity and confusion danced in Wang Xiaoying's eyes as she observed him intently.
Whoosh!
In an instant, Zhang Wei's hand moved with lightning speed, sending forth a powerful stream of water that erupted from his palm.
*Splash!*
