Seeing Yuan Yonghao talk about playing with mud, climbing trees, fighting, and teasing cats and dogs in his childhood, Xiao Keyan felt a mix of amusement and helplessness. She tried to interrupt him several times but was defeated each time by the look in his eyes, as if saying, ’I want you to truly understand me.’
After a while, Xiao Keyan felt that Dong Jingyi and Dong Zhenghua might be coming back soon, so she had to interrupt Yuan Yonghao: "Mr. Yuan, it’s getting late. I must go find... my brother."
At this moment, Xiao Keyan couldn’t quite figure out her own feelings and didn’t reveal her true identity to Yuan Yonghao.
Yuan Yonghao was somewhat reluctant to leave: "Then... about the marriage proposal?"
Xiao Keyan’s eyelid twitched: "You are not allowed to propose to the Dong Family again."
Yuan Yonghao silently looked at Xiao Keyan, feeling a bit dejected as he lowered his eyes: "I thought we had cleared up the misunderstanding."
Seeing him like this, Xiao Keyan felt a bit guilty as if she had bullied someone: "We did clear it up, I no longer misunderstand you."
Yuan Yonghao: "Then you... what do I need to do for you to agree to marry me?"
Xiao Keyan felt a headache coming on: "Mr. Yuan, we hardly know each other, I don’t think you can’t live without me."
Yuan Yonghao blurted out: "But I can’t live without you!"
Something struck Xiao Keyan’s heart: "..."
Yuan Yonghao looked earnestly at Xiao Keyan: "Unless you have someone you love, otherwise, I will not give up on you. I am determined to marry you!"
Xiao Keyan dared not look directly at Yuan Yonghao and turned her face: "Mr. Yuan, it’s better to say less of such words, lest you regret them later."
Yuan Yonghao frowned: "Once a man makes a promise, even a team of horses cannot take it back. Once the words are spoken, I have no intention of taking them back." As he spoke, he stepped in front of Xiao Keyan, "What must I do for you to believe in my sincerity?"
Xiao Keyan really didn’t want to continue talking with him at this moment, but seeing Yuan Yonghao looking like he wouldn’t give up until she responded, she suddenly had an idea: "Have you heard of the prairie divine steed, Snow Shadow?"
Yuan Yonghao nodded.
Xiao Keyan smiled: "Not long ago, I received news that Snow Shadow appeared within the borders of Ganzhou. If you can capture Snow Shadow and tame it, I will believe in your sincerity."
Now, there were only a few days left before the Horse Racing Festival, and Snow Shadow is famous for coming and going without a trace. Ganzhou is so vast that finding Snow Shadow within a few days is almost impossible.
If Yuan Yonghao were to truly go capture Snow Shadow, he might miss the Horse Racing Festival.
From the past few years of seeing Yuan Yonghao participate in the Horse Racing Festival annually, one could tell he valued it greatly, and the Yuan Family likely placed importance on it as well.
Isn’t he trying to prove his sincerity? Let’s see how he chooses.
Yuan Yonghao glanced intently at Xiao Keyan: "Alright, I will personally capture Snow Shadow for you." Saying this, he strode out of the tent.
Xiao Keyan suddenly hesitated, feeling she might have gone too far. If Yuan Yonghao truly misses the Horse Racing Festival, it seems not good for him and the Yuan Family.
Thinking of this, Xiao Keyan hurriedly chased after him, but as she just exited the tent, she bumped into Dong Zhenghua, thus deciding not to call out to Yuan Yonghao.
Yuan Yonghao hadn’t gone far and turned to look back, seeing Dong Zhenghua smiling as he handed a red horse to Xiao Keyan.
Dong Zhenghua also saw Yuan Yonghao and nodded with a smile to greet him.
Yuan Yonghao immediately cupped his fists to return the greeting, glanced once at Xiao Keyan who had turned away from him, noticing she didn’t want him to approach, so he smiled and left.
Watching his back, Dong Zhenghua exclaimed with a ’huh’ and said with a smile, "These two times I’ve seen Mr. Yuan, I’ve found him more polite than before."
Xiao Keyan forced a smile, quickly changed the subject: "Brother Dong, let’s go find Jingyi."
