Wanyun nodded. "Nothing has been decided yet. Father is simply interested in the young lady of the Lin family and has sent a matchmaker to their home to propose marriage. Whether the engagement is finalized depends on their decision."
Hua Yang clenched her fists, her face clouded with displeasure. "How could he do this? I just confessed my feelings to him yesterday, and now he rejects me so completely? Is he not willing to give me even the slightest chance?"
Wanyun said, "Father doesn't dislike you, Your Highness. He just sees you as a junior he's watched grow up, so he feels he can't accept your feelings."
Hua Yang frowned slightly. "But I'm not that child anymore. I'd long forgotten I even met him back then. I'm a grown, beautiful woman standing right in front of him. How can he still only see me as a little girl?"
"This won't do. I'm going to the Lin family's home. I absolutely cannot let Lin Ruqu agree to this marriage."
