His expression did not look like he was joking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do you suddenly have this thought? How can I believe that you’re not just acting at the spur of the moment or…is this just a bad joke?\" Zhuang Liaoyuan’s expression looked serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man clenched his teeth. \"Father, I’m serious about it. As for why, you know that I've never really had any huge ambitions. I just don’t want people around me to worry about me. I also hope that I can protect the people I love if anything happens. I want to be someone you can rely on, and not just someone to be protected.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Liaoyuan was truly surprised by his son’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Zhuang Rongguang said something like \"I want to protect my country and make my family proud\", he would never believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But yet he had uttered these.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zhuang Liaoyuan was thinking it through, Zhuang Rongguang took out a scary long whip and gave it to his father. \"Father, I actually wanted to follow sister’s advice and hide it from you, but I can’t just let it be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man’s body trembled as he remembered what happened last night. \"Last night, I tried to get money on my own to leave the house, so I listened to Sun Bin and Liang Haoqiang. I went to the casino and was cheated. I lost five million dollars.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did you say!?\" Zhuang Liaoyuan smacked the table furiously as his expression changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Rongguang put the whip on the table and continued, \"They aren’t local and there were a lot of them. I was actually expecting Sun Bin and Liang Haoqiang to come back with the money to save me but in the end, they abandoned me…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Expecting the two of them to save you…\" Zhuang Liaoyuan’s expression darkened. \"How can my son be so stupid?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I did something even more stupid afterwards.\" Zhuang Rongguang’s voice went hoarse. \"I dared not call home. Without any more ideas, I called Sis…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You bastard!\" Zhuang Liaoyuan threw his teacup away as uneasy thoughts suddenly floated in his mind. He freaked out. \"What happened to your sister last night?! Tell me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If something had not happened to Keer, there was no way he would change so drastically all of a sudden!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his experience, he could easily imagine what had happened last night.

They wanted her…to stay with them for the night…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, Zhuang Liaoyuan whipped the young man harshly. Zhuang Rongguang fell to the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door was opened from outside. Zhuang Keer rushed in and stopped her father from hitting Zhuang Rongguang. \"Rongguang! Didn’t I tell you not to tell Father!? What happened to you!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Rongguang’s face went pale from the pain. \"Sis…I don’t want to hide behind you anymore…I’ll be responsible…I deserve it…\"\u003C\u002Fp>",508,"2026-06-06T10:49:08.004Z",1,"novelbin.me","c2e5b76fede286cb15b1e4c28d7d738225d110fdbe86bd885d4dcc2f8f16d54b","hidden-marriage-chapter-1159","hidden-marriage-chapter-1157",2163,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhidden-marriage-cover.jpg"]
