Now that Li Qingcang was gone, Ye Tianxin was single now.
Ye Tianxin thought that they were going to talk about Mrs. Shangguan. Not wanting to intrude, she left them alone and walked away.
Shangguan Ling looked at Ye Tianxin as she walked off. He kept quiet for a couple of minutes before confessing to Ye Linlang.
“Aunt Linlang, I would like to woo Tianxin.”
Due to Shangguan Ling’s upbringing, he had always been a straightforward person.
!!
Ye Linlang was stunned when she heard that. “Are you joking?”
Shangguan Ling knew that his revelation might e as a shock to Ye Linlang. He tried to stay calm so as not to alarm her further.
“Actually, I have always liked Tianxin. But Tianxin already had Li Qingcang. I didn’t want to be a third party back then, so I put aside my feelings.”
“Aunt Linlang, please give me your blessings to woo Tianxin.”
Ye Linlang was pletely astounded by Shangguan Ling’s confession.
She looked at Shangguan Ling with a confused expression, her mind thinking quickly on how to respond to his request.
What did he mean by that?
Shangguan Ling liked Ye Tianxin?
Shangguan Ling was such an outstanding man. Of course, she felt happy that her daughter had caught the attention of such a man.
It also proved that her daughter was considered an excellent match for him.
After a long silence, Ye Linlang finally spoke. “Shangguan Ling, I’m very happy that you like Tianxin, but you should be aware that Qingcang is always in Tianxin’s heart. It might not be appropriate for you to woo her”
“Aunt Linlang, yes I know that and I don’t mind, Li Qingcang is a brilliant man.” Shangguan Ling was very gentlemanly. “If Li Qingcang is still alive, I would not have thought of this. But isn’t Li Qingcang dead now? Tianxin is still young. She had many good years ahead of her. She can’t possibly stay single for the rest of her life. I really like Tianxin. Besides, there is a very fine quality in our family. The men in the Shangguan family have always doted on their wives. I will love Tianxin forever. She will be like a precious gem to me. I will always protect her. Aunt Linlang, please can you agree to it?”
Ye Linlang found it difficult to refuse Shangguan Ling as he was very persistent.
She understood how Shangguan Ling felt.
If something bad did happen to Li Qingcang, she knew Shangguan Ling would be a good man for her daughter.
Everyone secretly knew that Li Qingcang was still alive.
As the wife of a military mander, Ye Linlang knew it was important to keep this matter a secret.
She could not tell Shangguan Ling that Li Qingcang was still alive and dissuade him from wooing Ye Tianxin.
“Shangguan Ling, I understand your intentions clearly. But you should know that times have changed. Couples fall in love freely these days. It does not matter what parents think. I cannot stop you if you want to woo Tianxin. But if you want me or Xuning to help you in any way, I’m sorry, I won’t interfere in this matt.”
Sgangguan Ling was relieved to hear Ye Linlang say that.
“I’m happy to hear you say that, Aunt Linlang.”
Shangguan Ling smiled. It was already a great help if Ye Linlang did not oppose to it.
Ye Linlang was also happy to hear Shangguan Ling say that. While she felt gratified, there was also a trace of guilt in her heart.
She knew how stubborn her daughter could be.
It was unlikely that Shangguan Ling could win her heart.
