Ye Jian was truly moved by Old Fifth's proposal. She felt a deep attraction to the idea.
"I think it's very good," Ye Jian said. "We need to respect traditional customs, but with our current time constraints, I go back to report on the sixth day of the lunar month. Why don't we keep things simple? Grandpa, what do you think?" Even though Ye Jian was interested, she didn't immediately agree before hearing Old Man Xia's opinion, which was important to consider.
Old Man Xia valued customs, but he was not rigid about them. As long as the younger generation was happy, that was enough.
There would still be an engagement, just that everything would be simplified, leading to a different kind of engagement ceremony.
"That's fine with me. I have no objections, and it will be a good chance to see how well my little princess can ride and shoot," Old Man Xia respected the decision of the younger generation, their happiness was what mattered to him.
