“But now, the ones who came to propose marriage are the Scarlet Flame King and Young Master Xiao.” Su Qingzhi’s voice was cold and imposing, carrying the authority of the family patriarch.
“If grandfather allows it, I can tell you that the Ninth Prince has long expressed his intention to propose marriage,” Su Yingxue hastily added.
If not for her concern about her grandfather’s disapproval, Chu Yihan would have come to propose marriage on the first day of his return.
“Yingxue! You’re a young girl, yet you keep asking people to come and propose marriage to you. It’s improper!” 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, “Zhilan, you and Miss will serve in the front hall. You don’t have to go out.”
Zhilan looked at Su Yingxue awkwardly. She could not disobey the orders of the Old General, Su Qingzhi.
She could only stand her ground. “Yes, Master.”
Su Yingxue gritted her teeth, feeling frustrated.
When Su Qingzhi asked her opinion about Qin Muyan and Xiao Yu, she wore a serious expression. “I don’t want to get married! I won’t marry anyone!” “Yingxue, are you upset? Are you waiting for the Ninth Prince to come? If he truly cares, why hasn’t he proposed since the old general’s return? You like him, but do you know if he feels the same?” Qin Muyan gazed at Su Yingxue tenderly.
He wasn’t 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 hadn’t made a move until now.
It was truly contemptible!
“Of course he likes me! The only reason he hasn’t proposed is because…”
Su Yingxue hesitated to mention her grandpa’s disapproval in front of everyone.
“No matter the reason, the fact remains that he hasn’t proposed,” Xiao Yu’s words were cold but incisive.
Indeed, regardless of the reason, wasn’t it true that Chu Yihan hadn’t proposed?
“So, Yingxue, if you still have feelings for him, you’re the one who’s hurting. It’s normal to have competitors when you’re as outstanding as you are. But sincere suitors may be rare. I don’t mind if you choose between me and Young Master Xiao.” Qin Muyan expressed confidently.
Qin Muyan believed Su Yingxue would choose him over Xiao Yu!
Despite the Xiao family’s immense wealth, Xiao Yu seemed indifferent. He wouldn’t treat Su Yingxue as well as Qin Muyan would.
“I have no objections to competing with the Scarlet Flame King,” Xiao Yu stated indifferently.
Qin Muyan’s 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 hadn’t anticipated that Su Yingxue wouldn’t yield under pressure.
She turned and knelt before Su Qingzhi. “Grandfather, I refuse to choose between Young Master Xiao and the Scarlet Flame King. Please don’t force me.” Both were exceptional men, but she didn’t want either of them!
Su Yingxue glanced up at the roof. If Zi Wei were here, he would understand and go to the Ninth Prince’s Mansion, right?
But since he left, it felt like he would never return.
“Yingxue, why are you so fixated on Chu Yihan?” Qin Muyan wanted to persuade her.
