Chapter 337 Proposal(3)_1
Mu Zhongqing was held back by the ever-babbling Cao Jin, unable to chase after them, and it was not appropriate for him to shout for them to stop. He could only watch as his daughter and Young Master Huo moved forward, turning and walking towards the distance.
Along the way, Cai Wei and Huo Yuan saw many young men and women, some of whom were walking in groups, and some who were alone, looking around as if waiting for someone.
Cai Wei understood that the Lantern Festival was also called "the ancient Valentine’s Day" by later generations, because in this era, ordinary women, especially daughters from wealthy families or unmarried young women from humble families, did not usually leave their homes, let alone at night. Only on the Lantern Festival could they come out to enjoy the lanterns, and even have secret meetings with men.
Looking at the affectionate young couples around him, Huo Yuan seemed to be affected, and he pointedly said, "Being able to walk under the lanterns with the one you love is one of the greatest joys in life!"
Cai Wei laughed and said, "What a pity that the woman you like is not here, otherwise you’d be able to experience this greatest joy in life just like they do!"
Huo Yuan replied, "How does my younger sister know that the woman I like is not here?"
Cai Wei counter-questioned, "Is she here?"
Huo Yuan nodded solemnly, smiling without speaking.
Seeing this, Cai Wei’s gossip spirit was suddenly aroused and she peered eagerly at him.
"Oh, she’s here? So it turns out that she is a person from Lin’an Prefecture, haha! No wonder you changed your original plan and came here, you’re here to see your heart’s desire..."
Seeing her excitement, Huo Yuan couldn’t help but raise his lips slightly, and gently replied, "That’s right!"
