Chapter 337: Chapter 337 Proposal(3)_1

Mu Zhongqing was held back by the ever-babbling Cao Jin, unable to chase after them, and it was not appropriate for him to shout for them to stop. He could only watch as his daughter and Young Master Huo moved forward, turning and walking towards the distance.

Along the way, Cai Wei and Huo Yuan saw many young men and women, some of whom were walking in groups, and some who were alone, looking around as if waiting for someone.

Cai Wei understood that the Lantern Festival was also called "the ancient Valentine’s Day" by later generations, because in this era, ordinary women, especially daughters from wealthy families or unmarried young women from humble families, did not usually leave their homes, let alone at night. Only on the Lantern Festival could they come out to enjoy the lanterns, and even have secret meetings with men.

Looking at the affectionate young couples around him, Huo Yuan seemed to be affected, and he pointedly said, "Being able to walk under the lanterns with the one you love is one of the greatest joys in life!"

Cai Wei laughed and said, "What a pity that the woman you like is not here, otherwise you’d be able to experience this greatest joy in life just like they do!"

Huo Yuan replied, "How does my younger sister know that the woman I like is not here?"

Cai Wei counter-questioned, "Is she here?"

Huo Yuan nodded solemnly, smiling without speaking.

Seeing this, Cai Wei’s gossip spirit was suddenly aroused and she peered eagerly at him.

"Oh, she’s here? So it turns out that she is a person from Lin’an Prefecture, haha! No wonder you changed your original plan and came here, you’re here to see your heart’s desire..."

Seeing her excitement, Huo Yuan couldn’t help but raise his lips slightly, and gently replied, "That’s right!"

Cai Wei exclaimed with a "Wow", and then said, "Who would have thought, Big Brother Huo is quite the romantic type, hehe. The woman who has caught Big Brother Huo’s heart must be a nation-falling beauty!"

Looking at her pink-tinged little face and those big sparkling eyes due to the cold, Huo Yuan nodded affirmatively, "She is beautiful, as beautiful as a fairy from the heavens; in my eyes, she is the most beautiful woman in the world!"

"Wow, she is that beautiful!"

After being shocked, Cai Wei began to worry for Huo Yuan.

"Big Brother Huo, what are you still waiting for? Why don’t you go to her house to propose? Such a beautiful girl, must have a lot of people vying for her. If you delay, and she gets taken away by someone else, it will be you who regrets it!"

The very words Huo Yuan had been waiting for were those, the ends of his fingers tightened, even his walk became tense, he carefully answered, "Don’t hide anything from my little sister, I intend to propose, but the girl I like is very decisive. I’m afraid she might not be willing and would be disturbed by this proposal. Matrimony has always been subject to parents’ orders, and the matchmaker’s words. It wouldn’t be right for me to ask her directly, I am afraid it may catch her off guard. This is why I am stuck in a dilemma, tormented day and night, and have been hesitating..."

As he spoke, he laughed at himself to ease his awkwardness. Seeing such an expression on the usually composed Huo Yuan, Cai Wei found it incredibly endearing. She stopped walking, her eyes gleaming as she looked at Huo Yuan. Only when his ears turned pink and he became more awkward did she turn her head around and laugh heartily.

"Big Brother Huo, you lack confidence. As a competent man with a kind heart like you, she may already have a crush on you, but due to a woman’s dignity, she hasn’t let it show. Maybe, she’s right now waiting for you to propose while you are hesitant to act. In case her parents betroth her to another family, you’ll regret it when you miss this good marriage opportunity!"

Upon hearing her words, Huo Yuan tried to maintain his calm surface but his heart was already leaping with anticipation. He coughed lightly and asked, "Little sister, am I really as good as you say?"

"Of course, Huo Big Brother is definitely the best man I have ever met!"

To encourage him and give him courage, Cai Wei went all out in praising him.

"Big Brother Huo is magnanimous, righteous and kind-hearted, and he is competent in earning money to support the family. She must like you as well, so you can rest assured..."

After hearing Cai Wei’s advice, Huo Yuan took a deep breath and laughed tenderly, "Thank you for reminding me, as a great man walking between heaven and earth, I shouldn’t hesitate in this way. Otherwise, if I miss out on this good marriage, I would regret it for the rest of my life. No matter, I’ll go to her parents’ place tonight to propose!"
