Grass Lantern also took the cup and drank a sip.

He genuinely didn't know how to choose. Yuhito and that boy from the Fujiki family each had their own strengths, and he didn't know which choice was the right one.

Well, children and grandchildren have their own destinies; let Hui make the decision herself.

After thinking it through, Cao Deng said, "This matter mainly depends on Hui's wishes; we respect our daughter's choice."

Yujin's lips curled into a smile; he knew he had succeeded.

Chapter 344 Opportunity

Upon hearing Soto's words, Yujin knew in his heart that he had passed the test with Hui's parents.

Although Hui's mother did not express her opinion strictly, according to Japanese custom, such matters are the responsibility of the head of the household.

“Uncle, Hui has already agreed,” Yu Ren said.

"What? Is...is that so?" Soto was stunned; he hadn't expected Kei to agree.

Hasn't she always liked that boy from the Fujiki family next door?

How could she agree to marry another man?

Sigh, as his daughter grew up, she developed her own little secrets, and a generation gap began to emerge between them.

He didn't know what his daughter liked, who her friends were, or even that she was pregnant. He also didn't know how or where his daughter met the prince.

Cao Deng felt somewhat guilty for not being a good father.

But Yu-Jin wanted to visit Kei: "Uncle, no, Father-in-law, I want to go see Kei."

After saying that, he went upstairs without any hesitation.

Even after Hisahito's figure disappeared, Soto didn't stop him. He sighed helplessly, "Alas, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse."

Yujin arrived at the door of Kei's room on the second floor and knocked excitedly.

Even though it had only been a few days since they last met, and he had even enjoyed a good meal with her last time, standing at the door about to see the person he had been longing for day and night, he felt like he had returned to his childhood self after getting into trouble, his heart pounding and his hands at a loss.

He knew that he had been poisoned to the bone by a drug called "Agasa Kei".

"The door isn't locked." A languid, pleasant voice came from inside the house.

"Snap—"

Upon hearing the response, Yujin turned the doorknob, pushed the door open, and saw the figure he had longed for once again.

A stunningly beautiful figure leaned lazily against the desk, casually wearing a loose, pure white sleeveless nightgown that revealed two sections of fair and delicate arms, with flawless skin as white as jade.

Her slender hands cradled her delicate chin, her long, black hair cascading down her back. Her beautiful eyes gazed at the sky outside the window, a look of sorrow and melancholy on her face, as if filled with endless melancholy. Her graceful figure resembled a resentful goddess, a fairy who had fallen to earth.

Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, causing her long black hair to flutter slightly, revealing her exquisite profile, making her even more beautiful than a fairy, untouched by the mortal world!

Yujin couldn't bear to look away from this scene.

His hesitation puzzled Hui, who turned around and saw that the person who came was not her parents as she had expected, but him.

Hui recognized the person who had come, and her brows furrowed slightly: "What...what brings you here?"

Yu-Jin snapped out of his daze, chuckled softly, walked up to Kei, and said gently, "Are you still angry with me?"

“How dare I be angry with a prince?” Hui said sarcastically.

“Hui, I am a prince now, and I have the power to do many things, including… marrying you.” Yu-ren said, gently stroking Hui’s hair.

"And—" At this point, Yujin moved his finger to Hui's chin, gently lifting it so that Hui had to face him: "Your parents have already agreed to let you marry me! Perhaps you are still angry with me now, but we have a long time ahead of us, and I will cherish you for the rest of my life and pray for your forgiveness for the rest of my life!"

Hui stubbornly looked away from Yujin, replying in a muffled, indifferent voice, "Is that so?"

Yu Ren followed his gaze and saw that Hui's delicate, fair neck was flushed with a beautiful blush. Her two erect breasts rose and fell, revealing glimpses of their shape, as pure and flawless as ivory. Even so, Hui's temperament remained ethereal, like a goddess with an aura that could not be profaned.

But now, he is committing blasphemy...

“Yes, I promise!” Yujin looked at Hui with deep affection.

He was overjoyed to have obtained the treasure he had so longed for.

He leaned down and said softly, "I will send over the engagement gift tomorrow and discuss the wedding arrangements with your parents. We'll try to get married by the end of this month! You'll have to work hard then, help the waiter take your measurements, and make the wedding dress as soon as possible."

"Is it... in such a hurry?" Hui asked.

"Is it in such a hurry? I truly love you, and I wish we could get married right now!"

Upon hearing Yujin's words, Hui suddenly looked at him, her beautiful eyes as calm as a lake, and asked in a voice devoid of any emotion, "Do you really love me?"

“Of course!” Yujin also noticed that Kei’s appearance was a little strange, but he didn’t take it seriously.

Hui then said in a cold and ruthless voice, "Then... can you take your heart out and give it to me?"

Yu-Jin listened to Hui's terrifying words, looked at Hui's expressionless, beautiful face, and didn't take her words seriously, thinking that Hui was angry with him.

He patted his chest with a laugh and joked, "My heart is right here. Come and get it if you want!"

"Hmm," Hui replied, then opened the drawer, took out a folding fruit knife, and unfolded it by pinching the back of the blade with her slender fingers, revealing the sharp edge.

Hui gripped the knife hilt in her right hand, the tip pointing directly at Yuujin's heart, and plunged it straight in...

Throughout the entire process, Hui's movements, speed, and strength were just like those of an ordinary young girl.

Therefore, when the tip of the knife was a few feet away from Yujin's chest, Yujin grabbed Kei's wrist holding the knife.

He easily snatched the knife from Hui's hand, put it back in the drawer, and slammed the drawer shut.

Then, he looked at Hui with a gloomy expression.

"What were you trying to do just now?" Hisahito questioned, somewhat angry.

"You said it yourself, that I should come and take your heart," Hui replied calmly.

"Hehe, haha~" Yujin laughed in exasperation, reaching out to pinch Kei's chin, and said, word by word, "Kei, you better not take my affection for you as a license to do whatever you want. Believe me, it's not good for you."

"I understand." Surprisingly, Hui did not resist, but answered in a low voice as if admitting her mistake.

When Yu-Jin saw Hui's expression, he thought Hui had admitted her mistake, and his anger instantly dissipated. He even began to regret being so harsh to Hui earlier, scaring her.

Yujin's voice softened, as if he hadn't been the one who was just furious. He sighed, "I know you're still angry with me. Oh well, I'll come see you again tomorrow. You should get some rest!"

After Yujin finished speaking, he left.

Because of what just happened, I'm no longer in the mood to continue blaspheming Hui.

However, Hisahito had no idea what kind of opportunity he had just missed.

Hui didn't really want to kill Yuujin just now; after all, if she wanted to kill him, she would have had Black Phantom do it already.

That was just a test.

If Yujin doesn't resist, the dagger will pierce his chest, but it will deviate from his heart. It will be very painful, and he will feel the fear of death, but there will be no danger to his life.

After all, Hui had learned so many killing techniques from the Xia Dynasty; stabbing someone in the chest while avoiding the heart was child's play.

If Yu-jin does this, then Hye will believe him. Whether she loves him or not is another matter, but she will willingly marry him.

However, Hisahito did not do that.

Under the threat of death, he was honest, perhaps too honest... and lost his only chance.

Chapter 345 Fame

After leaving Kei's room, Yujin discussed marriage matters with Soto before leaving.

That evening, when Hui's family was having dinner.

Hui ate her meal silently. Because of her daughter's pregnancy, Meisha had been cooking very nourishing dishes these days. However, today, Hui didn't know if she was in a bad mood or had a poor appetite, as she rarely touched her chopsticks.

No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Seeing Kei like this, Misa finally couldn't help but ask, "Kei, do you really want to marry Hisahito?"

"Yes." Hui glanced at her mother and answered with her head down.

Hui already felt guilty towards her family and relatives, and now she didn't want her family to be implicated because of her.

As for marrying Hisahito, it was merely a temporary measure for Kei.

She just wanted to wait until the child was born so that she could go to other worlds to collect souls without any worries.

Once enough souls have been collected, all the difficulties at hand will vanish.

As for now, I'll just get married...

“Hui, don’t lie to your mother. If you really want to, look into your mother’s eyes and say it again?” Misa said, staring into Hui’s eyes.

Hui felt guilty under her mother's gaze, which seemed to pierce through her soul. She avoided eye contact and loosened her grip on the chopsticks in her hand.

Misa then asked, "Was it Hisahito who forced you?"

Upon hearing Misa's words, Soto asked Kei, "Kei, did the other party force you?"

Although he had been puzzled as to why his daughter had agreed to marry the man so quickly, he had never considered the possibility that Hui was being forced.

Hisahito made a very good first impression on him. His handsome appearance and manners showed that he was well-mannered and had a gentle and refined demeanor.

He unconsciously ruled out the possibility that the other party would coerce his daughter.

Now, thanks to Mesa's reminder, he suddenly realized the possibility and began to consider it.

If the other party really uses their power to coerce Hui, knowing his daughter as he does, he will actually give in.

Even the old man Shi Ren, who had been silently standing to the side, looked at Hui.

He, as an elder, shouldn't interfere in his granddaughter's marriage, but if the other party really forces his granddaughter, he will risk his life to make them pay the price.

"No, no one forced me, it was all my own choice!" Under the watchful eyes of her family, Hui suppressed her guilt, spoke with unusual firmness, and met Misa's gaze without flinching, denying her parents' suspicions as if she were not lying.

Seeing her daughter's resolute expression, Misa was unsure for a moment and asked again, "Then... what about Fujiki-kun? Haven't you always liked him?"

“He already has a better girl, Mom. I don’t want to talk about him anymore. I’m full.” Hui put down her chopsticks, got up, and went upstairs.

"Sigh, this child..." Misa sighed.

……

Early the next morning.

Hui was woken up by the noise from downstairs.
