Chapter 126: Dang Giju
After a moment, Dang Jeong-hu, who had been watching me with a complex expression, spoke up.
“That was quite a move. But that alone won’t convince me you’re the true heir to the Seonwoo family. And even if it were true, if you genuinely wish to become the Dang family’s son-in-law, shouldn’t a formal marriage proposal from the Seonwoo family come first?”
At his words, I answered boldly, as if I had been waiting for this moment.
“You are absolutely right! So please give me just a little time! If the head of the family would grant me a little time, I will return to the Seonwoo family immediately and formally propose marriage! Would that be acceptable?”
Then, after staring at him with a momentarily unreadable expression, Dang Jeong-hu finally nodded.
“It can’t hurt. If you truly intend to do so, I’ll temporarily halt the marriage arrangements with the Hongsa Sword Sect and wait for you.”
At those words, On Je-woong, lost in thought, cried out with a look of regret.
“G-Gajun!”
Dang Jeong-hu glanced at On Je-woong and added.
“But! The time I can wait won’t be long. So hurry.”
“Understood! I will depart for Seonwoo Segaro immediately!”
Having said that, I turned my head to look at Lady Dang Yeo-eun.
She had been watching my every move, her eyes glistening with tears, her expression deeply moved.
I gazed at her warmly for a moment, then smiled and spoke.
“I’ll be back, Yeo-eun.”
