Chapter 140 I was confessed to
"Huh? What's so mysterious about it?"
Xin Moyan tilted her head, somewhat confused. Wasn't his name Yuan Huaixuan?
The questioning look in her eyes amused him, so he took off his mask and slowly explained, "My mother's surname is Xuan, and I take her surname. The jade pendant I gave you that day has my name on it."
"Xuanyuan?"
"Ah."
Xin Moyan still didn't understand. His name was Yuan Huaixuan, so why did he take his mother's surname?
"Your Highness, is it because you are often away from home and have too many rivals that you can only use the pseudonym Xuan Yuan and are afraid of disgracing the royal family by using the name Yuan Huaixuan?"
"..."
Her exceptionally beautiful face was filled with helplessness; Yan'er actually thought she was afraid of disgracing the Yuan family.
“Yan’er, my real name is Xuan Yuan, Yuan Huai Xuan is a pseudonym.”
"Why? Aren't you and His Majesty brothers? Shouldn't Yuan Huaixuan be your real name?"
He smiled and smiled, his gaze towards Xin Moyan gentler than moonlight. He coaxed her, "If Yan'er wants to know the details, then marry me, and I will tell you everything."
"Huh?" Without any warning, he just blatantly asked her to marry him? Xin Moyan instantly pursed her lips, her expression slightly embarrassed and unnatural, and the tips of her ears quietly turned red.
Xuan Yuan saw her expression and, though he loved her dearly, he made no move. He simply stared at her intently and said, "Yan'er, look into my eyes and answer my question."
Xin Moyan subconsciously looked up and met his eyes, which were filled with an unbelievable doting affection.
"Yan'er, I know I was wrong to be so frivolous towards you these past few times, but can you tell me what your true feelings are for me?"
"I……"
She had only uttered one word when Xuan Yuan's next words drowned her out, his handsome and aloof face revealing his open and sincere nature.
"Yan'er, I don't know when it started, but I can't help but pay attention to your every move. Even though you don't know me well, and... you didn't even recognize me, I always make a point of paying attention to you. I can't bear to see you suffer any grievances. Hua Buyu said that this is what love is, and I think it must be. Yan'er, I... love you."
The barrage of words left Xin Moyan stunned. Was he confessing his feelings? Compared to Lou Shenghan's impromptu confession, the two felt completely different. This time, she truly didn't know what to do...
"Yan'er, tell me your thoughts. How do you feel about me?"
In the dim surroundings, those dark eyes appeared even more profound, and a hint of ambiguous emotion flickered across his cool and aloof brows, as if an invisible force was drawing Xin Moyan completely in.
She opened her mouth slightly, truly unsure of what to say. When she met those dark eyes, her heart pounded wildly. She felt somewhat lost and helpless. Yuan Huaixuan… no, it was Xuan Yuan. He was so handsome, especially at this moment. His deep and affectionate gaze was truly captivating.
"Yan'er?"
Xuan Yuan frowned slightly. Had his blunt words frightened Yan'er? But didn't Hua Buyu say that only by taking the initiative could a story unfold? Coupled with the recent attention Yan'er had received, he had acted so hastily. Could it be that Hua Buyu was deceiving him again?
Xin Moyan snapped out of her daze. Ignoring her pounding heart and burning face, she coughed a few times, "Cough cough cough! Your Highness, I think..."
"Yan'er, call me Xuan Yuan."
"Isn't that a bit impolite?"
"will not."
"Alright then! Xuan... Xuan Yuan."
"Yes, Yan'er, please continue." The man nodded in satisfaction, his gaze fixed intently on her face, anticipating her next words.
"It's...it's just..."
Xin Moyan thought for a long time, unsure how to express her feelings. She probably liked Xuan Yuan a little too! After all, that racing heart feeling only applied to him. But was it moving too fast? They hadn't known each other for very long, and was he serious about her? She'd never had a puppy love in her modern life, so she couldn't tell if this man was truly sincere…
"Yan'er, don't get distracted, answer my question carefully."
“Xuan…Xuan Yuan,” she mustered her courage and boldly met his eyes, “Are you serious about me?”
"Yes, Yan'er, I want to marry you."
Huh? Skipping dating and going straight to marriage?
Xin Moyan swallowed hard and said calmly, "I think we should take it slow!"
"Ok?"
Seeing his expression gradually turn serious, Xin Moyan quickly explained, "I feel that we don't know each other well enough yet, so I can't answer your question for the time being. Besides, I can't keep it from my brother. If you can get his consent, it won't be too late to bring it up later."
"Your brother?"
"Yes, yes! My brother is my only family. If he doesn't agree, I won't consider you."
Xin Moyan spoke in a particularly shameless manner. Her brother doted on her so much, so of course he had to know about this. Besides... the reason she said this was to give herself some time to adjust. She needed to at least have a relationship to see how it went. If it didn't work out, she could cut her losses in time. How could she just jump straight into talking about marriage? That's faster than a rocket!
Xuan Yuan's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and a smile gradually appeared on his face. He nodded and stared at her, saying, "Yan'er, I will get your brother's approval. However, you also have feelings for me, don't you?"
If it weren't for that, Yan'er would definitely have been as straightforward as when she rejected Lou Shenghan, instead of asking for her brother's permission.
"I... let's go back quickly!" Xin Moyan suddenly stood up, deliberately avoiding his question.
"Yan'er?"
"Xuanyuan, it's late, I don't want the people in the manor to worry."
"……it is good!"
He already had the answer in his heart, so there was no need to keep asking. He took the horse, put his arm around her waist, and climbed on top of her. Without wasting any more time, he should let Yan'er rest after a busy day.
Xin Moyan wasn't too scared this time either, gradually getting used to the bumpy feeling, it's just...
"Could you please stop touching my hand?"
"I'm teaching you how to pull the reins."
"You already taught it this afternoon."
"Alright, then Yan'er, try it yourself."
After saying that, he really let go, leaving Xin Moyan to hold the reins and steer the horse alone. She wasn't strong enough, and the horse immediately started to veer off course.
"Xuan...Xuan Yuan, please help me!"
"Hehe~" He chuckled softly, then gripped her hand tightly and pulled on the reins with a little force.
"Yan'er, from now on you can only ride the same horse as me, no one else can."
"What about my brother?"
“…Except him.”
"And what about those who remain silent?"
"She can't ride a horse."
"What if I can ride a horse?"
"Oh, Yan'er."
