Chapter 1054: Chapter 1059: Meeting My Father-in-law

Petra is not foolish, nor is she so disconnected from the world that she lacks even the most fundamental common sense. She’s simply been the pampered daughter, accustomed to getting what she wants.

In short, Petra is used to living life according to her own desires.

Petra was strictly controlled and well-protected by her father. If not for the deliberate interference from Yang Yi, an external factor, Petra might have never defied her father’s will in her life. But once there’s a first time, there will inevitably be a hundredth time of rebellion.

After pondering for a moment, Petra nodded and said, "You’re right, I was a bit too hasty."

"See! You really should have a proper talk with your father. Tell him what you think, tell him you do not want to marry Carlson. Your father is willing to do anything for you, of course, he wouldn’t want to see you unhappy. So, things could be quite simple, don’t you think?"

"You don’t understand him; my father is a person with a particularly strong desire for control."

"How will you know it won’t work if you don’t try?"

Petra took a breath and then nodded, "I should try. Tell him I don’t want to marry Carlson, or should I simply say it myself? No, I should at least seek his consent first."

Yang Yi immediately said, "Exactly, talk things over with your father tomorrow. If he disagrees, then confront Carlson and tell him you won’t marry him, just like that!"

"You’re trying to change the subject again. I want to marry you, not that I don’t want to marry anyone."

"..."

Petra waved her hand towards the speechless Yang Yi and said, "Of course, what you said isn’t wrong either, why the hurry to get married? I’ve never been in love before, so we really should experience dating before getting married."

Yang Yi sighed lightly and said, "Okay, let’s do just that. There won’t be any problems. Just go talk to your father tomorrow."

Petra nodded gently, but her face quickly fell as she said, "But I don’t have the courage to say these things to my father. Just arguing with him today has already made me feel so guilty, he won’t be able to take it if I tell him I don’t want to get married."

"Uh, this, there are some things that you have to face, especially something as important as marriage. You need to be brave."

"I do need to be braver, but I lack enough courage. You accompany me tomorrow! With you by my side, I’ll be fearless!"

Yang Yi was somewhat stunned. He pondered for a moment but couldn’t make a quick decision.

"What, you’re unwilling? Or are you afraid?"

Yang Yi smiled and said, "You’re afraid of your own father, but I’m not, so there’s no question of daring or not."

"Good, then will you accompany me to see him tomorrow?"

Looking at Petra’s hopeful and nervous expression, Yang Yi realized that he definitely had to step up.

"Okay, I’ll go with you to see your father tomorrow!"

Petra cheered and then threw her arms around Yang Yi’s neck.

"That’s great, all issues are now resolved. You look so tired, let’s rest quickly. Do you like it here? We can live here, or if you don’t like it, we can live somewhere else."

Petra pulled Yang Yi into her bedroom, and then with a shy face, she said, "This is the first time a man, other than my father, has entered my bedroom. I hope that you can stay here forever, but if you don’t like it, I can remodel it to suit your tastes."

Yang Yi once again loosened his tie, speaking in a low voice, "I am indeed honored. Uh, can we go to sleep now? I’m exhausted..."

After Yang Yi was pushed down, he sighed, "Alright, let’s sleep a bit later, then."

Madness, it can only be described as madness.

Yang Yi was truly exhausted, he really didn’t want to get out of bed, but when the alarm clock rang, he still woke up—pushed awake by Petra.

"Hurry up, go shower. No, let’s skip the shower. My dad has a meeting in the morning, and by ten o’clock, he won’t have time to see us. So we’ll need to be at his office by nine o’clock, one hour should be sufficient."

Yang Yi glanced at the clock. It was already half-past eight, which meant he had slept for less than three hours.

Everything else was tolerable, except for the back pain.

"I don’t have clothes to change into..."

"There’s no need to change. You look handsome as is. Hurry up."

Yang Yi patted his somewhat groggy head, then nodded and said, "Alright, I’m off to meet my father-in-law. But first, I need to snatch away the bride from her fiancé."

It wasn’t really funny, but Petra laughed heartily. With a sweet expression, she said, "That’s right, now’s the time for you to snatch me away. Get out of bed!"

Do women in love really lose their intelligence?

Yang Yi didn’t waste any more words. If all went well, his mission would be completed today.

Incredibly fast - he hadn’t expected that sorting things out with Petra would make everything else so simple.

Yang Yi quickly washed up and then got into the car driven by Petra, heading straight for her father’s bank.

By the time they reached the bank, it was already twenty past nine. Petra let go of Yang Yi’s hand, but as they entered the building, she seemed to recall something and once again took the initiative to grab Yang Yi’s hand.

Seeing their boss’s daughter walking into the building with a strange man, honestly, many people were stunned.

Petra must have been scared; her palms were sweaty, and her shoulders were trembling slightly.

Yang Yi squeezed Petra’s hand firmly, a gesture that helped her relax a little.

Upon arrival outside Oskanbel Roy’s presidential office, Petra’s presence caused the forty-something female assistant to stand up in surprise.

"Miss..."

"Is my father in?"

"Yes, he’s currently talking with a department manager. You..."

Petra stopped speaking, took a deep breath, and walked towards the office door with Yang Yi.

Petra, holding Yang Yi’s hand in one hand and pushing the door open with the other, immediately said, "Dad, I have something I need to talk to you about!"

The atmosphere was awkward, and the situation got a bit tense.

Petra’s father sat on a chair utterly astonished, with a middle-aged person sitting uncomfortably across from him, while Yang Yi and Petra stood side by side in the middle of the room.

Petra was breathing rapidly, her chest heaving intensely, and finally, she repeated, "Dad, I have something I need to talk to you about."

"Mr. President, I’ll report to you later."

The department manager stood up, and Petra’s father gave him a nod, feigning calmness, "Alright, we will talk later."

Once the subordinate had left, Petra’s father was on the verge of exploding. His chest rose and fell dramatically as he glared at Yang Yi with clenched fists.

Petra opened her mouth, but when it came down to it, she found herself at a loss for words.

Subconsciously, Petra took a step back. She was still intimidated, unable to easily overcome the years of imposing authority her father held.

Yang Yi let go of Petra’s hand and stepped forward with a smile, "Hello, I am Yang Yi,"

Petra’s father responded with utmost severity, "I am Oskanbel Roy."
