“You should really think about it carefully.” Nan Zhengde spoke with a stern voice.

“Grandpa, why would I need to think about such a hypothetical situation?” Nan Xing couldn’t understand.

“Because this is very important. You know very well our Nan family’s status in Flower City. Everyone wants to associate themselves with our family, with the motif of gaining benefits for themselves. You know, there are many who would use unscrupulous means for their own benefits.” Nan Zhengde explained.

“Grandpa, Ding Mi is not that kind of person.” Nan Xing retaliated.

With a wave of his hand, Nan Zhengde said, “I am not referring to anyone in particular, I’m just stating facts. A family like ours would usually, through marriage, create ties with another family of an equal status. It is not an old-fashioned thinking but rather for business reasons, as marriage, on a certain level, is a combination of the assets of the two families.”

“If two families, both with similarly strong statuses work together, your offspring would have better resources to work with. So, from a business standpoint, it is very logical to marry someone from a well-matched family.” Nan Zhengde further explained.

Nan Xing neither accepted nor rejected Nan Zhengde’s explanation. These practical issues had never crossed his mind.

This fourth young master of the Nan family had had many affairs with female actresses, but he had never thought of marrying any of them, and those women were also well aware of that. They merely took what they needed from each other.

As such, this issue that Nan Zhengde was discussing with him felt unfamiliar and distant.

“However, I will not force you to marry someone from a well-matched family. Our Nan family is capable on our own. We don’t need to borrow another’s strength. So when you finally want to settle down, I won’t insist that you marry a lady from a reputable family. My only requirement is that you must be really in love with each other, and that she is not marrying you for our family’s wealth or status.” Nan Zhengde continued.

“Grandpa, I get what you mean.” This time, Nan Xing agreed with his grandpa wholeheartedly.

“I am glad that you understand. So now, tell me, without considering children into the picture, would you still marry her?” Nan Zhengde asked again.

“I have never thought of that before.” Nan Xing shook his head.

“You should think about it seriously. After you get some clarity, think again if she is truly in love with you. If you did not belong to the Nan family, would she still want to marry you? If you can answer all these questions honestly and still want to marry her after that, I will give you my blessings.” Nan Zhengde said.

“What if I can’t answer those questions?” Nan Xing replied.

“Then you should accept what your brother has proposed — that the Nan family gets custody of the children and she will get a huge sum of money as compensation which would be enough for the rest of her life.” Nan Zhengde said.

Nan Xing kept quiet.
