"Are you blaming me for not proposing marriage to your father immediately?" Suhar sensed the implication and looked at Ushiha with a half-smile.

Ushiha's face flushed red instantly. Hadn't her mother just told her not to reveal her inner thoughts to men so casually? Even if she liked someone a lot, she shouldn't say it like that.

"I didn't say that! Get out of my way, I need to go back to writing. After you have lunch with my mother, you can leave. Don't ever appear in front of me again." Ushiha glanced at him and angrily tried to walk past him.

Suhari turned around and grabbed Ushiha's arm. Before she could say anything, he pulled her into his embrace.

“I’ve come today for two things. First, to discuss business with your father, and second, to discuss marriage with him. The first matter has been settled, which is why your mother asked me to stay for lunch. I wanted to discuss the second matter, but your father and mother are clearly somewhat reluctant. So I’ve been thinking about how to get the second matter settled!” Suhar whispered in Ushiha’s ear.

Ushiha's heart was pounding, and her ears were bright red. She was reluctant to push Suhar away, so she awkwardly nestled in his arms and stammered, "What marriage are we talking about?"

Suhar laughed, and his laughter was indeed as melodious as a silver bell, making Ushiha's heart even more unsettled.

“Of course I will marry you and make you my queen!” Suhar said, lifting Ushiha’s chin with one hand and forcing her eyes into his eyes.

This time, Ushiha finally heard those words from the man's own mouth, and a complex look flashed across his eyes.

"I may not be the refined lady you described!" Ushiha said suddenly after much hesitation.

“I don’t want a lady from a respectable family, nor do I want a Qing Dynasty princess bound by rules and regulations,” Suhar said immediately.

“I don’t know needlework, I like to travel around,” Ushiha added.

“There are plenty of maids, what use is needlework?” Suhar still said.

“I have a bad temper, so I might not be good at being a wife and mother,” Ushiha said.

“My queen can certainly have a bad temper, and I also hate disciplining children,” Suhar said, drawing closer to Ushiha’s lips. In Dayuan, the separation of men and women was not as strict as in the Qing Dynasty; in fact, as long as there was mutual interest, couples could consummate their marriage before getting married.

Although Ushiha was generally carefree, she was still conservative in this regard. She shyly pushed Suhar away and said, "Then I'll wait for your news. Don't follow me anymore."

After saying that, Ushiha called out Qingcao's name, and then the two of them ran quickly along the covered walkway like startled birds.

When the two of them ran back to Lanxing Residence, Wuxiha's face was still slightly flushed. She remembered the man's lips that had just approached her, and the unique masculine scent he carried.

“Princess, that Prince Suhar is really audacious. Do you think they can talk to women like this in Dayuan?” Qingcao still complained about Suhar’s behavior.

"Green Grass, put out paper and pen, I need to write. Otherwise, I can't stay quiet," Ushiha said.

"Gege, do you still need to write?" Qingcao asked.

“We still need to write!” Ushiha said.

Meanwhile, after Suhar returned, someone soon came to report that lunch had been prepared. Lanqin and Fourth Master invited Prince Suhar to dine together.
