Facing Cao Jin’s doubts, Huo Yuan lightly laughed and said, "If I were to propose to her only after she takes on a new identity, wouldn’t she think that I’m attracted to her status, not her as a person?"
Cao Jin choked, he hadn’t expected him to have such strong feelings for the girl. However, his idea was impractical. Even if Miss Cai Wei understood that it was her, not the identity of the lady from the State Duke’s Mansion, that was cherished, how would it change anything?

Cao Jin found this hard to believe, he couldn’t accept that a woman in this world could reject Huo Yuan. Men of his age who had wealth, good looks, and noble character were hard to find. Someone like Huo Yuan was even more extraordinary, women craved and could hardly get him. Who would dare refuse him?
Huo Yuan laughed indifferently, as though he could see into Cao Jin’s thoughts.
