"I've come to propose marriage." Huo Lin's expression was extremely serious. After the men carrying the boxes put them down, they immediately opened them, revealing a collection of glittering gold antiques inside.
Some of the items look very old and are definitely not from today.
The father, who had always loved collecting antiques, had his eyes light up when he saw them. He was a connoisseur and could tell at a glance that the items Huo Lin had brought were incredibly valuable.
Even more outrageous, Huo Lin brought a contract with him. He opened it and placed it on the table; the first party had already signed it, and above that, in large characters, was a property transfer agreement!
Huo Lin took out a ring from his pocket. "I'm willing to give everything to marry your precious daughter."
"Huo Lin, we know you're a good kid, and we like you very much. Although we are Tingting's parents, we have always respected Tingting's choices. So, you two should talk things over slowly. If one day Tingting is willing to accept you, we don't care about anything else, we don't care if you don't take a single penny. We only care about Tingting's happiness."
Xunma has to admit she was right about Huo Lin; he's a good kid. And now, it's even possible to find someone who's willing to give all their assets to his wife to manage.
Besides, Xun Ting and Huo Lin aren't even together yet.
“Yes, yes, yes.” Mr. Xun immediately chimed in, but his eyes remained fixed on the antique. The more he looked at it, the more tempted he became, and he couldn’t bear to part with it.
But you can't sell your daughter for those antiques. Look away from your father. He's definitely not the kind of person who would sell his daughter for a few antiques.
"Okay, no rush, just leave these here." Huo Lin said calmly.
He was fairly certain that his efforts today would not be successful; he simply wanted to gain the support of his family first.
Looking for his mother: "Okay, I believe in you! Huo Lin, why don't you stay for dinner today?"
"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Huo Lin had no intention of leaving. Since the other party had asked him to stay, he naturally understood everything.
In this world, he can be with Xunting as long as he gets Xunting's consent. Xunting's family's intentions are very clear: they support him, but they haven't said it explicitly, fearing it might affect Xunting's choice.
"Then you can have someone take these things back," said Mama Xun, pointing to the pile of expensive items. She didn't like taking advantage of others, nor would she.
Upon hearing this, the father felt an overwhelming pang of heartache, as if those antiques had vanished from his life.
He had collected more over the years than Huo Lin had found in a single day, which was truly shameful. Huo Lin was a rather picky person and had very few things he truly liked.
He had already fallen in love with several of the items Huo Lin brought; they were just right for his taste!
"I won't take these with me." Huo Lin waved his hand, signaling those who had brought the items to leave. Upon receiving the signal, they immediately put down their things and left.
They didn't even turn their heads back.
“This won’t do. We can’t accept this before the marriage proposal is successful. You should take it back.” Madam Xun frowned deeply, feeling that this was inappropriate.
If they accept it, wouldn't they be taking advantage of others?
The search for her father was even more heartbreaking. Huo Lin said that the moment he left these things behind, he felt as if he could already see the antiques in his own hands, but his fantasy was shattered.
His wife bluntly refused.
"I won't take the things I brought with me. If you don't like them, just throw them away."
