Fu Man'er's surprised expression seemed genuine; it appeared that this was indeed Cao Zixuan's sudden inspiration.

Cao Zhenfeng glanced at Cao Zixuan kneeling on the ground with a look of disappointment, and finally looked away.

Out of sight, out of mind. This unfilial son is really infuriating.

Yu Miaoyi walked to her husband's side, helped him calm down, and said gently, "Alright, what's there to be angry about? Zixuan didn't steal or rob, or do anything heinous."

"He just wanted to marry the woman he liked."

Compared to Cao Zhenfeng, Yu Miaoyi was much calmer. As a woman, she was much more sensitive than Cao Zhenfeng.

Ever since her son told her that he and Fu Man'er only had brotherly and sisterly feelings, she started to pay attention to Cao Zixuan, because Cao Zixuan clearly had the idea of ​​pleasing girls.

Since the person trying to win her favor wasn't Fu Man'er, then it must be another girl. After looking around, the only girl they could find was Lu Sheng.

Cao Zixuan was extremely perfunctory with other young ladies from prominent families, but it was different with Lu Sheng.

It was just like a meat bun seeing Fu Man'er; it wanted to pounce on Lu Sheng like a dog, no, it meant to throw itself onto him.

"Father, I truly love Lu Sheng. I will never marry any other girl in this life except her."

Fearing that Cao Zhenfeng might not see his determination, Cao Zixuan straightened his back and repeated it again.

Fu Man'er witnessed Cao Zhenfeng's anger, which he had just suppressed, suddenly flare up again.

Oh no, Uncle Cao is going to get angry again.

Fu Man'er was worried for Cao Zixuan. Given the Cao family's status, how could Uncle Cao allow Cao Zixuan to marry Lu Sheng?

If they're going to marry, they'll marry this lady or that heiress. Isn't that the kind of thing that rich people love to do most—marry someone of equal social standing?

Although Fu Man'er somewhat disagreed with this, Cao Zixuan's current confrontation with his father was unlikely to end well.

"What if you can't marry her?" Unexpectedly, Cao Zhenfeng didn't get angry, but asked this question with a cold smile.

Unable to marry? Cao Zixuan felt his heart sink as he thought of what Lu Sheng had said that day, and his straight back slumped down.

Yes, what if I can't get married?

Cao Zhenfeng was so angry that he clenched his fists. Yu Miaoyi was afraid that he would hit his son in his anger, so she quickly pulled Cao Zhenfeng away.

“Talk things out calmly, but you mustn’t lay a hand on your son.”

Cao Zixuan shook his head frantically, "No, you're not, no one can be you."

But she was also wondering why her father reacted so strongly when she said she wanted to marry Lu Sheng.

His joy was beyond words. Family background was the biggest problem between him and Lu Sheng, but now that his parents agreed, there was one less obstacle.

Seeing his happy expression, Cao Zhenfeng poured cold water on him, saying, "Don't be too happy yet. Our agreement is useless; Lu Sheng is the key."

This is what angered him the most. Does this brat think he can marry the woman he loves just by talking?

What about actions? You haven't even seen any determination from her to marry you. Tell me, which girl would easily marry you?

Talking is not enough; you have to show it through your actions.

Speaking of this, Cao Zhenfeng had to boast to them about his past relationship with Yu Miaoyi.

He was just an ordinary martial arts master, while she was the daughter of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency. There were countless men who wanted to marry her, so how could he possibly be the one in the end?

Besides the fact that they were attracted to each other, his actions also made Yu Miaoyi truly feel his love and his determination to marry her.

Although marriage is said to be predetermined, there's a saying that goes, "Man proposes, God disposes."

In the end, Yu Miaoyi's eyes reddened, and the couple embraced each other, oblivious to everyone else around them.

Cao Zixuan realized it was time to leave, and just as he was about to get up, he discovered that his legs had gone numb from kneeling.

He tried to wink at Fu Man'er to help him, but she was so engrossed in listening that Cao Zixuan's eyes twitched, and Fu Man'er didn't even spare him a glance.

"Forget it, it's better to rely on yourself than others," Cao Zixuan said, barely managing to stand up. Each step felt like a thousand pounds in his legs, the tingling sensation like needles pricking them.

He endured the stinging pain and went outside, not forgetting to drag the engrossed Fu Man'er out with him.

Let the warmth inside the house be reserved for that couple.

Fu Man'er rubbed her reddened eyes, "I never imagined that Uncle Cao and Aunt Cao had such a thrilling love story."

The hardships and efforts that an ordinary young man went through to marry a rich young lady cannot be explained in just a few words.

"My father and mother have always loved each other so deeply." Cao Zixuan recalled that from childhood to adulthood, the couple had hardly ever quarreled; they were as sweet as one person.

Even now that he's all grown up, Cao Zhenfeng always brings Yu Miaoyi some novel gifts whenever he comes back from somewhere; they're not the kind of gifts he buys casually.

Instead, Cao Zhenfeng personally selected the gifts. He understood Yu Miaoyi's preferences, and every gift he chose made Yu Miaoyi particularly happy.

Perhaps when the two got married, there were many doubts around them, but over the years, Cao Zhenfeng has taken good care of Yu Miaoyi.

Now, when people in Yunzhen talk about this couple, everyone says they have a great relationship.

After hearing their story, Fu Man'er suddenly felt a longing for love, "I wonder what kind of man I will meet in the future."

"No need for later, you've already met them," Cao Zixuan muttered.

Fu Man'er didn't hear clearly, "Huh? What did you say?"

Cao Zixuan thought of someone, and then an idea popped into his mind: this was probably the greatest harm to that person.

“Man’er, I have many excellent young talents around me. How about this, I’ll introduce you to them sometime, and you can see if there’s anyone you like among them.”

Cao Zixuan now looked every bit the matchmaker, staring intently at Fu Man'er, wishing he could reach out and press her head down to nod.
