Chapter 240 A son grows up but cannot stay at home forever.
When Mo Xuan learned that his father had arrived, he was also surprised. His father was back? When did he return? Without thinking too much, he quickly took Chu Li to see his father.
"Father, why are you here?"
"Xuan'er, what's going on? Didn't we agree to get engaged? How come you're engaged to someone else after only a few days?" Mo Yu's expression was also not good. His precious son couldn't possibly be a concubine, could he?
"Father's question is rather strange. That day, Father told me to wait a few days, and he would help me persuade Mother. But I waited for several days in a row, and I still didn't hear from Father. I went to the Prince's Mansion and learned that Father and Mother had gone on a trip. As soon as Father returned, he came to question me. What? Did the trip not go well? So you came here to vent your anger?" Mo Xuan's expression was not good when he spoke. If his father hadn't taken Mother out, he should be engaged to Lu Jinyan by now, right?
Mo Yu's face stiffened: "What are you saying? I took your mother on a trip for your sake, didn't I? I promised to help you persuade your mother, but she was depressed every day because of your situation, so I thought of taking her out for a walk to cheer her up."
"Only when she's in a better mood can I properly discuss your situation with her. But who would have thought that just a few days later, she'd already gotten engaged to someone else? This clearly shows she's not the right person for you, Xuan'er. It's not too late for you to regret it now!" Mo Yu was somewhat angry. In his mind, Lu Jinyan was a fickle person.
She said she wanted to marry her son, but then she arranged it for someone else. Even if they were a little late in giving their answer, couldn't they have waited a few more days? In the end, it just means that woman doesn't have feelings for Xuan'er.
He couldn't tolerate his son being wronged; he was determined to confront that woman and demand an explanation.
Upon hearing his father's words, Mo Xuan's resentment vanished instantly. He had originally thought that his parents disapproved of his marriage and that's why they deliberately chose this time to go on a trip, but he hadn't realized he was mistaken.
"Father, I'm sorry, I didn't know..."
“You are your father’s son. There’s no need for us to apologize to each other. Xuan’er, now that she’s engaged to someone else, it proves that she doesn’t care about you at all. She’s a fickle woman. Do you still want to stick to your original choice?” Mo Xuan held his son’s hand with some heartache.
"Father, Yan'er is the one I love most, and my feelings for her will never change. Yan'er treats me very well, so Father need not worry." Mo Xuan couldn't bear to see anyone speak ill of Lu Jinyan, even if it was his own father. So his expression turned cold again?
"Being good to you? You said you wanted to marry me, and then you got engaged to someone else. You call that being good to you? Xuan'er, are you confused? With your status, what kind of woman couldn't you find? Why are you so obsessed with her?" Mo Yu was shocked by Mo Xuan's words.
Mo Yu couldn't understand what kind of spell that woman named Lu Jinyan had cast on her son, making him so devoted to her and willing to do anything to be with her.
“Father, Yan’er did promise to marry me, but before that, she promised Ruohan. One should not break one’s word. Besides, I chose this path myself, and I want to walk it no matter what it is. So her engagement to Ruohan is not wrong.”
Yan'er is a kind woman, Father. She treats her son very well. Father, you don't need to worry. But did Mother agree to Father's visit this time?" Mo Xuan felt there was no need to dwell on this matter anymore. He knew this day would come when he chose this path. As long as Lu Jinyan still had him in her heart, that was enough.
"Sigh, well, since you've already made your decision, I have nothing more to say. Your mother has already agreed, but given the current situation, how did you and the other person decide on your relationship? I heard that he arranged it with the rites of a formal husband!" Mo Xuan frowned as he looked at his son, his heart filled with mixed feelings.
There was a sense that if he dared to utter the word "concubine," he would knock him unconscious, take him back, and lock him up. But he knew he couldn't. Yin'er was right; the children had grown up and had their own ideas, which they couldn't stop.
"Father, rest assured. Yan'er said that Ruohan and I are both legal husbands. Do you think I would become a concubine? However, if Yan'er is willing, it's not impossible for me. But rest assured, Father, Yan'er will not do that. She said she would marry me with the respect due to a legal husband!"
To be honest, the moment Mo Xuan accepted Lu Jinyan's marriage proposal, he had already let go of the past. No matter what the title was, as long as he could be with Lu Jinyan, that was enough.
Mo Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that his son was the legal husband, but when he heard the second half of his son's sentence, he really wanted to slap him.
What kind of talk is this? He, the son of the Demon King, is willing to become someone's concubine? Not to mention that Yin'er wouldn't agree, he wouldn't agree either. Agreeing to his marriage is already their biggest concession.
"Since that's the case, let's make it a date. Seven days from now will be an auspicious day. You go back with your father first, and seven days later, have her come to propose marriage!" Mo Xuan and Qing Yin originally thought that if their son insisted on his own way, they would have no choice but to agree, but on the condition that Mo Xuan must be the legal husband.
This ending is perfect. However, they originally planned to hold the engagement banquet next month so that it would be easier to prepare, since he is the son of the Demon King. But then they thought, what if she falls for someone else in the next month? Wouldn't their son be miserable?
So they set the date for seven days from now. They had checked, and seven days from now was an auspicious day. As for the engagement banquet, although it would be a bit rushed, it wasn't that important compared to their son's happiness.
"Thank you, Father. Thank you, Mother. Father, please go back first. I will wait for Yan'er to return, tell her what happened, and then go back!"
When Mo Xuan heard that his mother had agreed, he was overjoyed. The weight that had been hanging over his heart was finally lifted. He knew that he was not a good son, but he really loved Yan'er and did not want to be separated from her.
Mo Yu sighed, turned and left. He couldn't bear to look at his son like this. Although he used to complain about his son's coldness, he seemed to prefer the cold Mo Xuan compared to his son now.
Mo Xuan was overjoyed and couldn't wait to go find Lu Jinyan and tell her the good news. Mo Yu glanced back at his son, whose mouth was practically stretched to his ears, and sighed. Sure enough, a son grows up and leaves home.
