Ke Li didn't directly say that it was for Rong Jian. He just didn't want Rong Jian to be pushed into a position as the target of public criticism, and also didn't want Rong Jian to bear the greater pressure in his heart.
Ao Lai looked at Ke Li's serious expression and knew that Ke Li had already made up his mind. He could not help but feel a little disappointed, but he did not insist.
"Ke Li, this matter isn't urgent yet. You should think about it carefully. If you change your mind, you can come and find me at any time."
With that, Ao Lai shifted his gaze onto Rong Jian.
How could he not understand Ke Li's feelings towards Rong Jian as he already knew Ke Li's thoughts from the first time he saw Ke Li looking at Rong Jian at the banquet.
That's why he didn't stop Ke Li. It was just that at this moment, he wished that Ke Li could stay here more. His intuition told him that Ke Li insisted on leaving because of Rong Jian.
"I wonder if it would be convenient for me to chat with Jane alone?" "Ke Li, you can discuss your marriage with Cheng Tian."
Ao Lai stood up and was about to head to the living room on the first floor.
Hearing Ao Lai's words, Rong Jian was stunned for a moment before nodding his head.
Ke Li's grip on Rong Jian's hand unconsciously intensified. He was about to open his mouth and refuse on behalf of Rong Jian or with Rong Jian, but then he saw Rong Jian shake his head at him and then smile.
Actually, he wasn't worried that Ao Lai would hurt Rong Jian, he was just worried that Ao Lai's words would make Rong Jian feel the pressure. He was already used to protecting Rong Jian at his side.
"Don't worry, Ke Li, I'll be back soon."
Rong Jian looked at Ke Li and smiled. Then, he let go of Ke Li's hand and followed behind Ao Lai.
Of course she knew what Ao Lai wanted to talk to her about, but she couldn't back down. Even for Ke Li, she couldn't back down. Ke Li had always been protecting her, and now it was finally her turn to do something for Ke Li.
Furthermore, Ao Lai was Ke Li's biological father. She could see the love Ao Lai had for Ke Li. Ke Li had also said that if it wasn't for Ao Lai, she wouldn't have returned to Ke Li so quickly.
Therefore, in her heart, she was just like Ke Li, filled with gratitude towards Ao Lai.
Sitting in the living room, this was the first time Ao Lai scrutinized Rong Jian in front of him so closely.
He used to think that Ke Li was attracted to Rong Jian because of Rong Jian's beauty. However, looking carefully at Rong Jian's relaxed appearance today, he could clearly feel that Ke Li's eyes were right.
Rong Jian sat opposite him without any signs of nervousness. Even though the person in front of him was the king of a country, Rong Jian didn't look nervous at all. This kind of noble temperament was not something an ordinary girl would have.
"Jane doesn't seem to be afraid of me at all?"
Ao Lai's tone was relaxed as he did not want to scare Rong Jian. After all, Rong Jian would soon marry into the royal family and they were about to become a family. It was also because of Ke Li's importance to Rong Jian.
Hearing Ao Lai's words, the corner of Rong Jian's mouth raised into a faint smile as he spoke with a calm tone.
"Why should I be afraid of you? "In my eyes, you are Ke Li's father, someone I should respect. I have already decided to marry Ke Li, we will be family in the future."
"We can respect one another, we can love each other, but we will not be afraid, right?"
This was what her mother had taught her. Although her father was very strict in Rong Family, she had never been afraid of him.
As long as they cared for each other and loved each other, that was the meaning of family.
Looking at Rong Jian's sincere eyes, Ao Lai couldn't help but be amazed at the woman in front of him. The calmness and calmness on Rong Jian's body was definitely an innate temperament, and was the inevitable result of growing up in a blissful environment.
Such a pure and natural girl was rarely seen in this chaotic world. Ao Lai recalled how easy it was to meet with such girls. As expected, they were not simple people.
"You're right, but I can tell that Ke Li values you a lot. However, for the sake of Z Country and Ke Li's future, I still hope that you can advise Ke Li."
"You can still live a happy life in Z Country if you want to stay. It's my pity that Ke Li hasn't grown up in Z Country since he was young. I just want to make up for it."
Ao Lai's aged face was filled with guilt. Back then, the loss of Ke Li had always been a knot in Ao Lai's heart.
Hearing Ao Lai's dejected tone, Rong Jian became silent.
Actually, she already predicted that Ao Lai wanted her to persuade Ke Li to stay, but she didn't expect that Ao Lai's reason was to make up for her guilt. This made her unsure of how to answer after the ceremony.
She knew that the reason why Ke Li rejected the throne without hesitation was because he promised her that he would return to Dongfeng City. It was because he didn't want her to leave his parents' side.
After a moment of silence, Rong Jian looked at Ao Lai and spoke slowly.
"Sorry, I can't advise Ke Li. I believe Ke Li is a cautious person. After he marries me, he will consider what kind of life is suitable for us."
"All I can say is that as his wife, I will believe that his decision is correct. Regardless of whether he is staying or leaving, I will stay by his side."
"I understand how you care about Ke Li. I will tell Ke Li about this. I believe Ke Li will be very happy."
Rong Jian wouldn't make any decision for Ke Li. From the moment Rong Jian found out Ke Li's real identity, Rong Jian knew that sooner or later he would have to face such a scene today.
The only thing she could do was to give herself to Ke Li. She believed in Ke Li's every decision and trust was the best gift she could give to Ke Li.
Looking at Rong Jian's expression, Ao Lai felt a bit disappointed in his heart. However, he also felt glad for Ke Li to be able to find such a precious woman.
"I believe Ke Li's eyes. Go back to his side, he's waiting for you."
Hearing Ao Lai's words, Rong Jian stood up to bid farewell to Ao Lai, then walked towards the door with a sweet smile on his face, because she knew that Ke Li was waiting for her outside the door.
As expected, the moment she opened the door, she saw Ke Li standing at the door with a smile on his face.
"Let's go back."
Rong Jian walked to the door, took the initiative to hold Ke Li's hand, and walked outside.
Cheng Tian stood at the side and looked at the happy expressions of Ke Li and Rong Jian. His eyes were full of envy, as if he suddenly thought of something and chased after the two of them.
"Wait a moment."
Hearing Cheng Tian's voice, Ke Li and Rong Jian turned around in surprise.
"What's wrong?"
Cheng Tian walked in front of Ke Li in embarrassment, raising his hand to rub his nose.
