The Whole Dynasty Spoils the Tyrant's Beloved Youngest Daughter-Chapter 489 - 487: Long Hair Tied to His Heart: Yu Wei Side Story (13)

Chapter 489: Chapter 487: Long Hair Tied to His Heart: Yu Wei Side Story (13)

Understand that for Song Wei, this is an excellent marriage proposal.

If Mr. Song is a good father, he would surely rush to agree. Who knows, he might even fear that his youngest daughter might miss such a fine opportunity and let this exceptional marriage slip away.

Nevertheless, Mr. Song did not immediately agree but said he would consider it.

Haha, does he truly need to consider something? Or perhaps Mr. Song wants to take the chance to fight for his other two daughters. Only Mr. Song knows what he truly thinks.

Jun Yu understood but said nothing further. He simply replied, "...Alright." After a pause, he continued, "In the meantime, I’ll trouble Mr. Song to host me."

Mr. Song waved his hand, "The Seventeenth Prince is too polite."

"Madam, why don’t you personally arrange a guest room for the Seventeenth Prince? For now, he will reside with us."

"Yes, sir. I will do so at once." Madam Song pondered for a moment, "Sir, how about letting the Seventeenth Prince stay in the Yimei Courtyard?"

The Yimei Garden features artificial hills, flowing water, and solitary plum blossoms blooming in the cold. It is the most elegant residence in the Song Mansion. Moreover, it is close to where the eldest and second Miss Song reside.

Madam Song intentionally made this arrangement, truly understanding Mr. Song’s intentions.

Mr. Song nodded, "Very well, Yimei Garden it is!"

"Then, I will go prepare it." Madam Song glanced at her two daughters, "Wan Wan and Man Man can stay here for now, but it would be better if you both come with me?"

The sisters did not fully comprehend Madam Song’s intention, and while slightly reluctant, they realized staying would be a hindrance, so they followed along.

...

After bidding farewell to Mr. Song, Jun Yu and Song Wei left the flower hall and headed towards Song Wei’s residence.

On the way, Jun Yu intentionally slowed his pace to match Song Wei’s. Walking side by side, there was a subtle understanding between them.

Yet, neither began speaking first.

As they neared Song Wei’s residence, Jun Yu organized his thoughts and finally spoke, "Miss Song, my proposal to your father today was truly presumptuous."

"No, no..." Song Wei blushed and waved her hand, "Not at all."

This response made Jun Yu slightly elated, pursuing further, "Really? Does Miss Song mean she’s pleased?"

"...Ah?"

Song Wei belatedly realized her response was somewhat ambiguous.

She turned crimson and, fearing Jun Yu might notice anything amiss, quickly turned around, exhaling several deep breaths. Once the heat on her face subsided a bit, she said, "Ah Yu, I know you intended to help me refuse the marriage to Mr. Li. I understand your intentions. Therefore, it wasn’t presumptuous."

Jun Yu looked down, "...As long as Miss Song understands."

Song Wei added, "Thank you, Ah Yu, for your concern."

"Miss Song saved my life; a life-saving grace outweighs anything. This bit of help is nothing," Jun Yu brushed it off indifferently, "I’m just glad to be of help."

"Yes, you helped. The matter of this troubling marriage can finally be put to rest."

Song Wei felt relieved and smiled lightly.

Jun Yu also smiled in response.

Song Wei curiously asked, "Ah Yu’s true identity is the Seventeenth Prince?"

"Yes." Jun Yu replied, "The Seventeenth Prince of the Eastern Chu Kingdom."

A prince!

Such a noble identity, surrounded by attendants front and back.

Logically, even if his situation was dire, he wouldn’t end up on the streets, would he?

Song Wei was puzzled, "Then why was Ah Yu wandering the streets before?" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"..." Jun Yu sighed, lowering his eyes with a difficult-to-understand sadness, pointing to the masked half of his face.

Seeing this, Song Wei quickly apologized, "Ah Yu, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to offend by asking carelessly."

"It’s alright. After so long, I’m slowly coming to terms with it," Jun Yu said, "I only hope that by proposing to Miss Song, my imperfections won’t make you dislike me."

"Not at all." Song Wei replied, "Even with half your face ruined, with the mask on, Ah Yu is still gallant and charming. How could I dislike you?"

A flash of delight appeared in Jun Yu’s eyes, "Really no dislike?"

"Truly none."

"Then..." Summoning a bit of courage, Jun Yu seized the moment before it dissipated, pressing on: "Then, Miss Song, if I were to propose to you purely out of desire to marry you, without any ulterior motive, would you... be willing to marry me?"

After asking this, Jun Yu stared intently at Song Wei, filled with nervousness, anxiety, and anticipation, not knowing what to expect...

All sorts of complex emotions welled up in his heart.

He quietly awaited an answer.

Time ticked away, as the cicadas tirelessly chirped nearby.

The wind tousled their hair, lifting several strands in the breeze.

Standing side by side, they shared a unique scene, exchanging glances as a special atmosphere filled the air, with a faintly sweet scent.

"Ah Yu, you’re not joking with me, right?" Song Wei felt a bit afraid, afraid that if she took it seriously, the other party was merely joking or teasing her.

"Xiao Wei, do you think I would joke about something like this?" Jun Yu retorted.

This is a lifelong matter; no one would joke about it.

Song Wei understood this.

Yet her heart was in turmoil, especially after Jun Yu called her Xiao Wei, her heart became even more chaotic.

And the golden hairpin on her head seemed to burn, setting fire to her hair, head, everything felt ablaze, heating up everywhere.

She gave Jun Yu a push, "Naughty." Then hurriedly ran away.

Jun Yu caught up, puzzled, "Xiao Wei, what do you mean by that?"

"You figure it out."

"But I can’t figure it out."

"Oh..." Song Wei stopped, looking at Jun Yu behind her, "I need to think about it."

Jun Yu walked up to Song Wei, looked at her and said, "Alright, I’ll wait for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jun Yu lowered his head and quickly kissed Song Wei on the cheek. Song Wei, caught off guard by the sudden kiss, flushed deep red and instinctively wanted to hit Jun Yu, but he slyly evaded her.

Unfazed, Song Wei continued to chase after Jun Yu to hit him. Jun Yu caught her flailing hand and whispered in her ear, "Xiao Wei, once you’ve made up your mind, make sure to tell me immediately, so I can write to my sister and have her urge the Emperor to expedite our marriage while he’s still around."

Song Wei: "..."

He wasn’t joking, he meant it seriously.

It would be a lie to say Song Wei wasn’t moved.

She looked at Jun Yu, her eyes full of emotion.

Jun Yu continued, "I want to marry you as my wife, my only wife in this life."
