âBut now, the ones who came to propose marriage are the Scarlet Flame King and Young Master Xiao.â Su Qingzhiâs voice was cold and imposing, carrying the authority of the family patriarch.
âIf grandfather allows it, I can tell you that the Ninth Prince has long expressed his intention to propose marriage,â Su Yingxue hastily added.
If not for her concern about her grandfatherâs disapproval, Chu Yihan would have come to propose marriage on the first day of his return.
âYingxue! Youâre a young girl, yet you keep asking people to come and propose marriage to you. Itâs improper!â Su Qingzhi sternly rebuked Su Yingxue.
Su Yingxue bit her lip and exchanged a glance with Zhilan, wanting her to seek out Chu Yihan. However, Su Qingzhi then instructed, âZhilan, you and Miss will serve in the front hall. You donât have to go out.â
Zhilan looked at Su Yingxue awkwardly. She could not disobey the orders of the Old General, Su Qingzhi.
She could only stand her ground. âYes, Master.â
Su Yingxue gritted her teeth, feeling frustrated.
When Su Qingzhi asked her opinion about Qin Muyan and Xiao Yu, she wore a serious expression. âI donât want to get married! I wonât marry anyone!â âYingxue, are you upset? Are you waiting for the Ninth Prince to come? If he truly cares, why hasnât he proposed since the old generalâs return? You like him, but do you know if he feels the same?â Qin Muyan gazed at Su Yingxue tenderly.
He wasnât trying to flatter himself, but after staying in Jiang Du City for so long, he had only heard rumors about Chu Yihan and Su Yingxue, but never about Chu Yihan proposing.
If Chu Yihan were sincere, Qin Muyan felt he would have made a move.
However, the rumors about Su Yingxue and him had persisted for so long. Despite the damage to his reputation, he hadnât made a move until now. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
It was truly contemptible!
âOf course he likes me! The only reason he hasnât proposed is becauseâ¦â
Su Yingxue hesitated to mention her grandpaâs disapproval in front of everyone.
âNo matter the reason, the fact remains that he hasnât proposed,â Xiao Yuâs words were cold but incisive.
Indeed, regardless of the reason, wasnât it true that Chu Yihan hadnât proposed?
âSo, Yingxue, if you still have feelings for him, youâre the one whoâs hurting. Itâs normal to have competitors when youâre as outstanding as you are. But sincere suitors may be rare. I donât mind if you choose between me and Young Master Xiao.â Qin Muyan expressed confidently.
Qin Muyan believed Su Yingxue would choose him over Xiao Yu!
Despite the Xiao familyâs immense wealth, Xiao Yu seemed indifferent. He wouldnât treat Su Yingxue as well as Qin Muyan would.
âI have no objections to competing with the Scarlet Flame King,â Xiao Yu stated indifferently.
Qin Muyanâs Great Wei Dynasty was thousands of miles away. Su Yingxue would never go to such an unfamiliar place. Moreover, Qin Muyan had a vested interest in her, so she would consider him more.
However, they hadnât anticipated that Su Yingxue wouldnât yield under pressure.
She turned and knelt before Su Qingzhi. âGrandfather, I refuse to choose between Young Master Xiao and the Scarlet Flame King. Please donât force me.â Both were exceptional men, but she didnât want either of them!
Su Yingxue glanced up at the roof. If Zi Wei were here, he would understand and go to the Ninth Princeâs Mansion, right?
But since he left, it felt like he would never return.
âYingxue, why are you so fixated on Chu Yihan?â Qin Muyan wanted to persuade her.
