No matter what, I'm just a businessman.

What about the future?

Her status couldn't be changed; soon, Prefect Song would be able to climb the ranks, and she would be able to enter the capital.

Marrying into a noble family is perfectly acceptable.

"Then... have you ever considered that I might be willing?"

Song Jinling stared at him intently.

"you……"

Faced with him like this, Lü Zhiting felt as if his heart was being torn apart.

"I don't want to be a noblewoman, I just want to be your wife. I don't want to live a miserable and cold life in a high-ranking mansion. I just want to be with you in our small courtyard... happily together."

Song Jinling wiped away her tears and spoke solemnly.

"How do you know that's the kind of life you led in the noble family's mansion?"

Lu Zhiting frowned.

“Because…” she gently pointed to her heart, “I already have you.”

A faint smile played on Song Jinling's lips, her eyes gentle as she gazed at him with deep affection.

She has come to understand her own heart and no longer cares about any opinions.

She had considered the difficulties she would encounter in the future, but the thought of separating from him was unbearable.

Lu Zhiting was doing the same thing, constantly dodging, just to avoid putting her in a difficult position.

But now that she's said that, I'm even less sure what to do.

"No regrets!?"

he asks.

"No regrets!"

She was also resolute.

"Alright, I'll have my mother go to your house to ask for your hand in marriage tomorrow."

Lu Zhiting nodded and looked at her with a smile.

"Okay! I'll wait for you!!"

Looking at her, Song Jinling's smile became even brighter.

She turned slightly, her clothes fluttering in the breeze.

Lu Zhiting stood there, watching her figure disappear behind the door, before hurriedly walking towards Zhang's side.

As soon as I entered Zhang's house, I saw Lü Qingyou sitting there.

His initial high spirits and fighting spirit vanished instantly, and he became listless.

"Big brother...didn't you come to talk about something?"

Lu Qingyou's eyes were bright as she looked at Lu Zhiting with a smile.

Lu Zhiting's face stiffened. He looked up at Zhang Shi and saw that his mother's smile was very gentle.

"mother……"

Lu Zhiting felt a surge of tenderness in his heart. He walked over to Zhang Shi, sat down next to her, and sat down.

"Ok?"

Zhang reached out and gently stroked Lü Zhiting's head twice.

Wow, her son has grown so much!

"I like Song Jinling, you should go and ask her for my hand in marriage tomorrow!"

Lu Zhiting still spoke up, which drew rather unsurprised looks from the two of them.

"Why aren't you...why aren't you surprised?"

Lu Zhiting was puzzled.

"Because Madam Song has long had her eye on you, and she has mentioned it to Mother several times, intentionally or unintentionally."

Lü Qingyou smiled secretly.

"How is that possible?"

Lu Zhiting simply couldn't believe it. How could this be? If it were true, wouldn't he have been a fool for so long?

"How could it be impossible? My son is so outstanding."

Zhang felt honored, but then, seeing how anxious Lü Zhi was, she couldn't help but laugh.

“You went to the prefect’s backyard a few times before, and Madam Song noticed it. Every time you went there, Jinling acted very strangely. So… Moreover, Jinling’s health is not very good. Madam Song also said that she needs to take good care of herself and cannot be mistreated. This is why Jinling is still not engaged at the age of sixteen.”
