Unexpectedly, less than half a month after discovering Liu Xi's true identity, Liu Xi personally came to propose marriage.
Shen Luming and his wife were overwhelmed with surprise and joy. They already favored Liu Xi, and now Liu Xi's initiative to propose was like a pie falling from the sky. Although in the eyes of parents their child is always the best, their daughter had been married before and had a child, a burden no wealthy man would typically accept. However, Liu Xi was very sincere, not only proposing himself but also willing to be married into their family.
This sincerity left Shen Luming and his wife ecstatic and flustered as they hurried to persuade their daughter.
Juhua sneered and said, "I want to meet him personally to understand why he wants to marry a woman like me with a child. With his financial capability, he could easily marry the daughter of the county magistrate."
The couple thought their daughter made a valid point and arranged for them to meet privately.
