Gu Chengqiao's eyebrows were tightly knitted: "There's no why, just listen to me."
"Dad, you've never interfered in my love life before. What's going on today? Why won't you allow me to date Doctor Qiao? You couldn't possibly have taken a liking to her too, wanting to compete with me, could you?"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Now, Gu Chengqiao was truly angry: "When will you ever behave properly? Your head is filled with romantic nonsense all day. It was fine when you fooled around with those other women, and I don't mind you mingling with others. But you cannot touch Doctor Qiao!"
The naive and slow-witted Gu Jing finally sensed something was amiss: "What's wrong with Doctor Qiao? Why can't I touch her? Is she ill? Will I die if I touch her?"
"Stop spouting nonsense! She's not sick. But remember my words – stay away from her, or else not a penny more will be given for your allowance. There's a Corporation meeting coming up, I'm leaving first."
