Chapter 312 Return to Su Mansion 13

Noticing Prince Jin's gaze, Su Jingyu immediately cleared his throat, attempting to divert his attention. "Prince Jin, you are too kind. The gifts you brought are more than enough for a betrothal gift. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were here to propose to our household, ha ha ha."

Seeing Prince Jin staring at him without blinking, Su Jingyu suddenly felt a bit awkward and let out a dry laugh.

It was only after he spoke that he realized how presumptuous his words were.

Who was Prince Jin? Was his business something he could casually talk about? Thinking this, Su Jingyu immediately shivered, his face filled with fear, and he almost knelt down.

Who would have thought that instead of being displeased, Nangong Liuyun's crimson lips curled upwards, carrying a hint of a smile, yet also a touch of melancholy as he sighed, "I like hearing what you said, but unfortunately, even if I brought mountains of gold and silver as a betrothal gift, a certain someone wouldn't agree."

His Luo girl was truly difficult to woo. He didn't know how much further his path to winning his wife would be before he could embrace the beauty and return home. Sometimes, thinking about it, he couldn't help but wish he could just snatch her home.

Su Jingyu hadn't expected Prince Jin to express such a sentiment. After a moment's thought, he presumed he understood and smiled rather amusingly, "Your Highness, you worry too much. How could there be anyone in this world who wouldn't agree to your proposal? Qing'er, wouldn't you say so?"

Su Qing, whose emotions were already in disarray because of Prince Jin's mention of a betrothal gift just now, lowered her eyes shyly when Su Jingyu asked, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "Yes… I, I, I agree."

As she spoke, a flush spread across her face. Her hands were clasped together nervously, and she hung her head bashfully, practically daring not to look up.

As soon as Su Qing said this, Su Zi'an and the others were so happy they almost soared. Especially Su Zi'an, who burst into hearty laughter, laughing with particular satisfaction.

Since his Qing'er had caught Prince Jin's eye, she would likely become the Prince Jin's Consort very soon. It seemed his position would soon rise again. He was truly overjoyed.

Nangong Liuyun's hearing was excellent. Even though Su Qing spoke very softly, it was impossible for him not to hear. However, he couldn't quite understand why this girl suddenly had a brain spasm and said whether she agreed or not. The person he wanted to marry wasn't her.

Had everyone in the Su mansion lost their minds? Was there no normal person besides his Luo girl?

He was even the Great General of the Protectorate. How could someone with a brain spasm protect the country? It seemed this position really needed to be moved.

Nangong Liuyun was getting a little impatient waiting. He always acted on impulse, without restraint. The only reason he was patiently waiting in the Su mansion's hall today was because of his Luo girl. Because these were her family members, he patiently sat here.

But after waiting and waiting, his Luo girl still hadn't arrived. Nangong Liuyun immediately became displeased. His cold, dark phoenix eyes swept towards Su Zi'an. "General Su, where is the person this king wants to see? Why haven't they arrived yet?"

As soon as he said this, Su Zi'an's joyful laughter abruptly stopped. He looked at Prince Jin with a bewildered expression, and it took him a long time to regain his senses. "Your, Your Highness, isn't Qing'er already standing before you?"

Nangong Liuyun's sword-like brows furrowed coldly, and he snorted in displeasure. "Qing'er? What is that? Is she related to the person this king wants to see?"

As soon as these words were spoken!

Instantly, the entire scene became solemn. Everyone gasped, staring at Nangong Liuyun in disbelief and stunned silence—
