Chapter 745: 365: Alliance and Marriage! Want to marry Suo Ningbing?_3

Before arriving at Yingzhou Island, Suo Lun had worried that Hai Gang would propose such an embarrassing condition, so he outright refused it.

Hai Gang said, "The second option, your sister Suo Ningbing, marry my son Young Master Hai Wuyan as his wife."

Suo Lun said, "I have a vague memory that Young Lord Hai Wuyan is already married."

Hai Gang said, "He has women, but no legitimate wife. Your sister Suo Ningbing, has also annulled her marriage with Ashi Luo. They are well-matched, a match made in heaven."

Honestly, Hai Gang’s condition was not excessive; purely in terms of status, Suo Ningbing and the young lord of Yingzhou, Hai Wuyan, were indeed well-suited.

Suo Lun shook his head and said, "No."

Hai Gang stared angrily and said, "Why not? Is my son not good enough for your sister?"

Suo Lun said, "For all reasons too awkward to voice."

After speaking, Suo Lun’s hand reached directly for Princess Zhi Yan’s buttocks beside him.

Of course, he was not acting out of lust or in a rush to touch Zhi Yan right there; rather, he was giving an implicit message to Hai Gang that his relationship with his sister Suo Ningbing was not pure, yet he could not articulate it openly.

Immediately, Hai Gang was taken aback, somewhat in disbelief.

Of course, he wasn’t astonished by the illicit affair between Suo Lun and Suo Ningbing but rather by Suo Lun’s forthrightness.

That such a scandalous secret could be divulged by Suo Lun, albeit in a very subtle way.

At that moment, Zhuang Zhixuan, standing behind Suo Lun, showed an incredulous look; she was unaware of this matter.

The little girl beside Hai Gang was also taken aback, looking at Suo Lun incredulously, then showing a hint of disdain and repugnance.

She was still young and didn’t know how to hide her gaze.

Moments later, Hai Gang said, "I have great respect for Lord Suo Lun’s candor, but... a great man should make decisive decisions. I believe the future of Tianshui City is more important than an inappropriate relationship, don’t you think? And as for this past affair, our family will not mind it."

Suo Lun shook his head and said, "No, my reverence for love surpasses the foundation of Tianshui City. I have reached this day because I want to protect the people around me, not for any ambition."

Hai Gang was flabbergasted, staring at Suo Lun in disbelief, and exclaimed loudly, "Ridiculous, ignorant! Confusing the important with the unimportant like this will kill you, and it will also destroy your family. To monopolize your sister, you’re actually rejecting your only potential ally. If you are such a foolishly lustful person, how could the Hai Family dare to form a marital alliance with you and be tied to the same warship?"

When it came to his sister Suo Ningbing, there was absolutely no room for negotiation on Suo Lun’s part!

The reason he became Suo Lun was because of Suo Ningbing. To a large extent, his journey to this point was also for Suo Ningbing.

He was determined to monopolize Suo Ningbing for life – no one else could touch even a fraction of her.

Suo Lun said, "Do we have to form a marital alliance to forge an alliance? Common interests are more solid than anything."

"Indeed, countless families turn their backs after a marital alliance," Hai Gang said. "But at least a marital alliance shows the attitude of forming an alliance and will not lightly break the covenant. If you can’t even give up a woman, what alliance are we talking about?"

Suo Lun said, "So for the sake of interests, can you, Lord Hai Gang, give up the person you love most?"

"Of course I can!" Hai Gang shouted angrily. "Whichever woman you fancy beside me, my daughter? My wife? Take your pick to enjoy! What prospects can a great man have if he is trapped by female charms, trapped by emotions?"

At this point, the conversation had truly broken down.

Suddenly, Hai Gang stood up abruptly and said, "Lord Suo Lun, my attitude has already been very humble; you can’t bully me any further. If you want to form an alliance, either your Aunt Yan Chuo’er marries me, or your sister Suo Ningbing marries my son Hai Wuyan. A marital alliance is the most basic expression of commitment to an alliance; without it, we might as well not forge this alliance!"
