Daddy Ceo's Beloved Wife

Chapter 145 - Meeting The In-Laws (3/4)

"But Lisa, are you still not planning to date or marry any girls?"

...

The rumor about Lisa not planning to date or marry anyone for the rest of his life was not just a complete rumor since it had been based on what he personally said during a family reunion.

At that time, many from the family were thinking that Lisa was no longer young and he was at the right age to marry already. Thus, they bombarded him with such questions pertaining to his plans to marry or date. The elders of the family were also extremely curious since Lisa had the highest chance to become the next successor of the Manoban family. After all, he didn't only succeed with the outstanding look and temperament that the Manoban family have, he was also extraordinarily talented and smart.

Hence, every elders were already expecting him to continue the next generation of the Manoban family through his children.

Sadly, when he was asked about this matter, Lisa, only looked at them without emotion and said, "I have no plans to marry or continue the bloodline. If I become the heir, I will donate the inheritance to the country."

His words created chaos and threw the elders into a flurry of rage and confusion. But their wish to make him the successor still did not disappear and they could only hope that he would change his mind regarding the matter of continuing the bloodline.

When Cao Huiling asked this question again to Lisa, Manoban Baekhyun and two of the elders of the family, Manoban Jianyu and Manoban Yongzheng, were only a few steps away from their group and was about to arrive to their spot.

Since they were quite close to them and Cao Huiling's voice was slightly loud, they could clearly hear her words and all three of them looked at Lisa. The two elders started to walk faster as though if they were a second slower to move forward, they would miss the answer to this question. They still have the hope inside their hearts that the answer would be different.

On the other hand, Baekhyun, who was walking beside the elders, slowed down his pace and frowned. He slowly raised his eyes to look at Lisa.

It had been a while since the last time he saw Lisa.

Lisa didn't feel uncomfortable when everybody's gaze fell on his body. He calmly received everyone's expectant look and slowly said, "I don't have any plans to date anyone..."

"However, I do have plans to marry."

At first, his first reply was received normally as if they already expected this reply. After all, he was a hard nut to crack and changing his mind about the matters of marriage or continuing the bloodline will see no light and never be realized.

And so, everybody was already expecting him to say a big NO.

And when Cao Huiling and Manoban Yongrui heard his words, they were extremely relieved.

However, it didn't even take a second before Lisa's next words fell and landed like a bomb in front of them, exploding and utterly ruining their momentarily happiness.

"What?!" Yongrui was the first to react and he exclaimed loudly. He was already known for having a loud mouth and being shocked at what Lisa just said in front of all of them, his voice couldn't help but raise another decibel.

"You... What did you just say? I think the alcohol in my system is clouding my hearing senses."

It was not only Yongrui who was thinking that they were drunk and was hearing things. Old Master Manoban, Manoban Baekhyun, Cao Huiling, and the two elders, were startled at his words. Even Seungkwan and Jisoo, who were sitting at the same table as Lisa and minding their own business and eating their fill, all released the food that was about to go inside their mouths.
