Upon hearing Huo Yuan's promise, Mu Zhongqing said emotionally, "Young Master Huo, I know how you feel about Wei'er. If you can rescue her, I'll give her hand in marriage to you!"
Hearing this, Huo Yuan gave a bitter smile, with a trace of bitterness creeping into his heart.
Cai Wei was no ordinary girl. She wouldn't obey her parents' orders without question, and wouldn't let others interfere in her own affairs—let alone her own marriage. Knowing this, he still politely said thank you to Mu Zhongqing: "Thank you for your generous offer, I shall definitely do my utmost!"
Mu Zhongqing nodded with satisfaction. Both he and his wife admired Young Master Huo. Marrying him would surely be much better than becoming the royal consort to the people of Liaodan Kingdom. Plus, they could see their daughter whenever they wished. Perhaps they might even get some grandchildren one day!
