The same night in the living room...
The Li household gathered. Muqin asked one of the servants to take Li Xian upstairs, He was still an infant and she did not want him to get involved or listen to their conversation. It might damage him. Lu Jae followed them upstairs because he did not want to be part of their family discussion.
When everyone was around, Muqin decided to leave the talking to Elder Li.
The old man with a depressing face cleared his throat before starting. His gazes were on Li Lian and no one needs to inform him that tonight's topic was about him.
"Lian, you made a strange introduction a few hours ago. What was it all about?"
He sighed before answering "I am in love with Yulan, father. With your permission, I would like to marry her.
