Chapter 233 Engagement Discussion
When Ruohan heard Lu Jinyan say she wanted to get engaged to him, her heart softened. She said that even if he had no family, she would still give him the respect he deserved. Ruohan felt that as long as he had her in his heart, that was enough.
Mo Xuan thought that once they were engaged, he would have a legitimate status and could stay by Yan'er's side. Although he didn't really care about the formal status, he was still very happy to have one.
“Xuanxuan, Hanhan has no other relatives, so he can make his own decision about the engagement. But your parents and brothers are still alive, so you need to discuss this with them. If they agree, then I will make preparations and find a suitable time to propose marriage.”
After all, he is the son of the Demon King. We can't be too casual about it, nor can we just arrange it like this on our own. We have to get his parents' consent first, and then formally and properly propose marriage.
"Don't worry, Yan'er, my father and mother have already agreed!" Mo Xuan said, clearly a little guilty. His parents had indeed agreed, but the process had been a bit complicated.
"Even if they agree, I still need to let them know and ask when they're available so I can arrange a formal marriage proposal. If they have any requests, they can also mention them, and I'll try my best to accommodate them!"
Lu Jinyan felt that if she was going to marry someone else's son, she should give something in return; even in modern times, a bride price is given when a woman marries.
"Alright, I'll go back and tell my father and mother tomorrow." Although Mo Xuan didn't really want to go back, he couldn't lie to Lu Jinyan, so he reluctantly agreed.
"Okay, it's settled then. Let me know when you've finished discussing things on your end. I'll start preparing for Hanhan's side first!" Lu Jinyan thought to herself that although Ruohan had no relatives, she couldn't just take him for granted and had to take him seriously as well.
After the three of them discussed their plans, they went back to their rooms to rest. Early the next morning, Mo Xuan went out to the Demon King's Mansion.
"Didn't you move to your sweetheart's house? Why are you back?" Qingyin was furious the moment she saw Moxuan.
"Mother, Yan'er said she wants to get engaged to me first. She asked when you and Father would have time to come and propose marriage. She also wants to ask if you and Father have any other requirements for the proposal!"
Although Mo Xuan was very reluctant, he still conveyed Lu Jinyan's meaning.
"Hmph, you've already pledged your lives to each other, why are you asking me? Do whatever you want, I've said I won't interfere anymore!" Qingyin's face was very bad. Her son had been spoiled by her and had actually done such a thing.
"Mother, Yan'er sincerely asked for your opinion. If you really don't like me and don't want to see me, then I will not come back. From now on, please just pretend that I don't exist as your son!"
Seeing his mother's dissatisfaction with him, Mo Xuan couldn't understand why he couldn't pursue his own happiness.
"You!" Qingyin was furious.
"Xuan'er, your mother still has official duties to attend to. Come with me outside to talk!" Mo Yu was afraid that his unruly son would upset his wife again, so he quickly pulled his silly son out the door.
Mo Yu led Mo Xuan into the courtyard before speaking: "You child, do you have to upset your mother? Your mother has worried so much about you, are you really so heartless?"
“Father, I have no such intention. I just want to be with the one I love. Is that wrong?” Mo Xuan refused to back down.
"It's not wrong for you to want to be with the person you love, and it's not wrong for your mother to want her son to be happy. You know how much your mother cares about you and how much she loves you. You should give her some time to slowly accept this."
"Let's postpone the engagement for a few more days. I'll talk to your mother again and give her some time to process it. And you, don't upset her anymore. I'll send you another message in a few days."
Mo Yu actually quite liked his son's actions. He felt that his son was bold and decisive, much like himself in his younger days. However, he was caught in the middle, torn between his beloved son and his wife.
"Thank you, Father!" Mo Xuan knew his father was right, so he nodded and left the Demon King's mansion.
He didn't really want to break with his parents. If Yan'er knew, she would definitely feel guilty, thinking that she had ruined his relationship with his parents.
Therefore, he didn't want Yan'er to know that he chose to trust his father, which is why he obediently went back.
Back at the Lu residence, Lu Jinyan had already taken Chuchu out early in the morning. Mo Xuan originally planned to go back to his own courtyard to rest, but when he passed by Ruohan's courtyard, he saw Ruohan playing chess with Lingyuan.
Mo Xuan then remembered that he had forgotten something, so he went inside.
"Young Master Mo Xuan!" Ling Yuan immediately stood up and bowed when he saw Mo Xuan coming over.
"Hmm." Mo Xuan responded with a soft "hmm."
"You're back? How did things go?" Ruohan nodded and asked as she saw Moxuan approaching.
"Yes, there are some things to attend to at the manor recently, and Father and Mother may not be able to spare the time. They will send me a message when they are done in a few days." Mo Xuan walked to the place where Ling Yuan had been sitting and sat down.
"That's good, now Jin'er can rest assured!" Ruohan smiled and placed a black chess piece down.
Mo Xuan glanced at the chessboard, then picked up a white chess piece and continued playing the game that Ling Yuan had just played.
Ling Yuan stood obediently to the side. After Mo Xuan put down the chess piece, he asked without looking up, "Your name is Ling Yuan, right?"
Ling Yuan had been standing to the side, trying to minimize his presence, but he didn't expect Mo Xuan to suddenly ask him a question. He quickly replied, "Yes, young master!"
"I heard from Yan'er that you live in her courtyard?" Mo Xuan's expression was somewhat cold.
"Yes, yes!" Ling Yuan felt his body trembling.
“You and Yan’er are not yet married, so it’s probably not appropriate for you to live in her courtyard. I’ve already had the courtyard next to mine prepared for you, so you can move there today!” Mo Xuan said directly without beating around the bush.
"Huh?" Ling Yuan was still a little confused. How did things suddenly turn into him having to move his yard?
"What? Did I not explain myself clearly enough?" Mo Xuan looked up at Ling Yuan.
"Mo Xuan, what are you doing?" Ruo Han frowned.
"What are you doing? Didn't you hear me clearly? He and Yan'er are not even married yet, and he's already living in Yan'er's courtyard. What kind of behavior is this? Even if he and Yan'er are married, they don't even have a master yet, but the servant is living in the wife's courtyard. Do you think that's appropriate?" Mo Xuan looked up at Ruo Han. He didn't understand how he could have agreed to let Ling Yuan move in.
