Hua Yan, noticing her look, lowered his head further, evading her gaze, which made Heng Ziyuan’s heart sink. No wonder Hua Yan seemed evasive, making it difficult for her to propose marriage.
She couldn’t let him go back, or he might become someone else’s husband.
Jin Yu looked at Heng Ziyuan with a playful expression, amused by her feelings for Hua Yan. Initially, Jin Yu thought Heng Ziyuan was interested in Xu Yi, but later realized she visited Hua Yan after treating Xu Yi. Jin Yu offered a reassuring smile and continued, “However, Hua Yan refused at the time, and I was worried Xu Yi wouldn’t adapt without him, so the matter was dropped.”
Heng Ziyuan’s heart relaxed momentarily until Jin Yu said, “But since I promised to find a match for Hua Yan, we’ll choose a good wife for him in the household.” Jin Yu glanced at Hua Yan, “You can choose anyone from the household. Whoever you like, I’ll arrange it.”
Hua Yan was too embarrassed to lift his head. The family head was discussing his marriage openly, something he had never expected.
Heng Ziyuan’s gentle face now showed concern. The family head was matchmaking Hua Yan again. What if he didn’t choose her? Although she controlled many things, she would never disobey the family head.
Jin Yu fed Xu Yi and looked at Heng Ziyuan, “The best woman in the household is you, Ziyuan. Today, I’ll betroth Hua Yan to you.”
Heng Ziyuan was stunned, her eyes revealing joy as she looked at Hua Yan. At that moment, Hua Yan’s heart raced. He suddenly knelt before Jin Yu, stating, “I want to continue serving the young master,” implying he didn’t want to marry.
Heng Ziyuan’s heart sank. He actually refused? After nearly losing him, he rejected her. Hua Yan, sensing her gaze, dared not look up. His body trembled slightly, and his eyes moistened as he said, “There are many men in the household who want to marry Heng’s manager. I’m not necessary.”
Heng Ziyuan’s expression darkened; he not only refused but pushed her towards others. Suppressing her anger, she patiently persuaded him, “After marrying me, you can still serve Young Master Xu.”
