Chapter 342: Chapter 342 Jealousy(1)_1

Facing Cao Jin’s doubts, Huo Yuan lightly laughed and said, "If I were to propose to her only after she takes on a new identity, wouldn’t she think that I’m attracted to her status, not her as a person?"

Cao Jin choked, he hadn’t expected him to have such strong feelings for the girl. However, his idea was impractical. Even if Miss Cai Wei understood that it was her, not the identity of the lady from the State Duke’s Mansion, that was cherished, how would it change anything? Old Lady Huo would definitely not accept a daughter of a country scholar as her daughter-in-law!

"Your mother will not consent to her entering the family!" Cao Jin said confidently.

Huo Yuan chuckled lightly, his smile warm as the spring sun, "Even if my mother consented, she wouldn’t agree herself!"

"What? She... won’t consent? How do you know she won’t agree?"

Cao Jin found this hard to believe, he couldn’t accept that a woman in this world could reject Huo Yuan. Men of his age who had wealth, good looks, and noble character were hard to find. Someone like Huo Yuan was even more extraordinary, women craved and could hardly get him. Who would dare refuse him?

Huo Yuan laughed indifferently, as though he could see into Cao Jin’s thoughts.

"She is not an ordinary woman who can be easily tempted by a man’s looks or money. Pursuing her is a difficult and complicated process. I am lucky to be ahead in this race. Even though this proposal is bound to fail, the chances of succeeding the next time are much higher. Even if the next time doesn’t work, there’s always the time after that..."

Cao Jin was stunned by his words. This suggests that the girl from the Mu family is bound to refuse Ziyou’s proposal. And Ziyou is already prepared for the next proposal, even the third or fourth attempts. He is the anticipated future head of the Huo family. Could he even be considered overreaching for the hand of a princess?

"For a little girl like that, you’re even willing to lose face. Having been rejected once, you still plan to propose over and over again. Is it worth it?"

With a smile, Huo Yuan said sincerely, "It’s worth it!"

He believed in his judgment. Little sister Cai Wei was worth his every effort!

At that moment, the woman worth his relentless pursuit was nervously walking back to the inn, under the scrutiny of her family, who at the moment, didn’t even have the mood to admire the diverse and colorful lanterns around them, completely focused on Cai Wei’s marriage proposal.

"Wei’er, tell your mother the truth. What exactly is going on between you and Young Master Huo? What are you thinking?"

Lady Du pursued, her thoughts matched those of her husband. Having been through wealth herself, she truly wouldn’t desire an illustrious family for her daughter. That being said, if her daughter truly favored Young Master Huo, they as parents would never refuse, and would instead wish them the best!

Just as Lady Du finished speaking, Nangong Yi appeared from across the street with his guards, casually walking in their direction. Although he appeared casual, his attractive pupils locked onto her and wouldn’t budge.

Meeting his gaze, Cai Wei was heavily troubled. He still hadn’t given up on her. Even though she made it clear to him, time and time again, that there was no possibility between them, even though he promised that there would be no entanglement, he still couldn’t help himself. He couldn’t control himself, and continued to appear in her life, causing her endless trouble.

She knew that the reason he lingered in Qing County for days, why he was trying his utmost to be with her and her family, was all due to his ’relentless persistence’.
