Chapter 204: Unwilling to Leave the Qiao Family

"Have you thought it through? Once you go back, it'll be even harder to leave. The Yuan family hasn't helped you, and they'll only hold you back. I won't let the Yuan family interfere in our affairs. When the day comes for you to decide to return, that will be the day you leave my home."

"Is that necessary?"

"Yes. It's my principle. I don't like your parents or the Yuan family, and I don't want to get involved with them."

"I won't go back."

Yuan Jiaqi seemed determined. If Qiao Mai changed her stance, he might have had a moment of hesitation.

However, when he had to choose between Qiao Mai and his family, he chose Qiao Mai.

He had come to hear Qiao Mai's thoughts. Since she didn't want him to, he wouldn't recognize the Yuan family.

The next day, Yuan Jiaqi refused the Yuan family head.

The family head was furious and asked, "Why? We've bowed to you. Why won't you agree?"

"Because I don't want to leave the Qiao family."
