Grand Duke Ji Ting and Mrs. Marina were sitting in the living room. They looked at the mature and elegant middle-aged man in front of them. Their expressions were a bit uncomfortable and awkward. Mrs. Marina thought about what had happened recently and there was a hint of hostility in her eyes.
However, even though they were dissatisfied, they still had to pretend to be polite in front of Grand Duke Ka Luosi.
Grand Duke Ji Ting was silent for a moment and then said, "Your Excellency Ka Luosi, I know why you're here. However, please forgive us for not being able to agree to your request."
Mrs. Marina also revealed a smile that was against her will. "Yiling is just a naughty and immature child. It's his honor to be liked by you. However, I'm afraid he's not suitable to be your wife. Please understand."
What a joke!
How could they marry their only precious son to the terrifying Grand Duke Ka Luosi?
They knew much more about Carlos than Ji Ling, so they were even more aware of this man's cruelty, terror, and shrewdness. If Ji Ling really married him, she would only be toyed with in the palm of his hand. Most importantly … They didn't think that Ka Luosi truly liked Ji Ling. They were afraid that he made such a request in order to compete with His Majesty. His real purpose was to drag the Ji family into the battle.
No matter what, they couldn't marry their son to Ka Luosi.
If it wasn't for his provocation, their son would probably be together with His Majesty. Mrs. Marina felt even more unhappy when she thought of her son's depressed appearance. However, she couldn't vent her anger on Ka Luosi. She felt depressed and had to force a smile.
Ka Luosi looked at the wary and distant Mr. and Mrs. Ji Ting. He revealed an elegant and decent smile. His eyes were sincere as he said, "I can understand your concerns about this marriage. However, I came here with great sincerity. I sincerely want to marry Ji Ling and I promise that he will always be my only lover. If I can't do that, I'm willing to give him half of the Ka Luosi family's assets as compensation. "
Hearing this, Grand Duke Ji Ting and Mrs. Marina looked at Ka Luosi in shock. Was he crazy? Why would he say such a thing?
The Ka Luosi family was huge and had a long history. They were involved in industries all over the empire. They were a behemoth that could influence the empire's economy! Even half of the family's assets was immeasurable. Since he dared to make such a promise, he wouldn't treat his family lightly. Whether he was sincere or not, he would treat his son well.
However, this was too surprising. Was it really necessary?
The nobles of the empire had always been open-minded about their private lives. It was common for people to have lovers or divorce after marriage. Some people even played their own games. It wasn't a big deal at all. They were only worried that Ka Luosi would use him to hurt Ji Ling. They weren't worried that Ka Luosi would have someone else in the future. If they didn't get along, they could just break up … They didn't expect him to make such a promise.
At this moment, Mr. and Mrs. Ji Ting were in a trance. Did Ka Luosi really fall in love with their silly son?
How was that possible?
Grand Duke Ji Ting hesitated for a moment. Although he started to believe Ka Luosi's sincerity, he didn't want to take the risk. He smiled and said, "We know your sincerity. However, Yiling is stubborn and mischievous. I'm afraid he's not suitable. Therefore, there's no need …"
Ka Luosi smiled and said, "I like him like this. Naturally, I can accept everything about him. Furthermore, I can guarantee that my marriage with him has nothing to do with anything else … "
He looked straight into the eyes of Grand Duke Ji Ting and his wife. His eyes were deep and sharp. Then, he slowly said, "I won't ask anything of the Ji family because of this."
What he meant was that he only wanted Ji Ling. He promised that he wouldn't drag the Ji family into the battle between him and the Emperor.
He knew what they were worried about.
Grand Duke Ji Ting fell silent again. This time, even Mrs. Marina was silent. Ka Luosi had easily resolved everything that they were worried about. They couldn't find any excuse to refuse.
The two of them quietly looked at each other. They didn't expect things to develop to this point. In order to marry Ji Ling, Ka Luosi would go to such lengths. This was completely beyond their expectations. However, no matter what, they still felt that this kind of person wasn't suitable for their son …
Mrs. Marina gritted her teeth and said, "Thank you for your love for Yiling. We believe that you're sincere. However, when it comes to marriage, the most important thing is the child's own feelings. Therefore, I'm sorry … "
At this moment, a cold voice sounded from the side. "I do."
Mrs. Marina looked up in astonishment. She saw Ji Ling wearing a small white dress. His soft blonde hair casually fell on his forehead. When he looked up, he revealed a beautiful and delicate face. His blue eyes were calm and indifferent.
He walked over step by step. His eyes swept over Ka Luosi. Then, he slowly and clearly said to his parents, "I'm willing to marry Uncle Ka Luosi."
Grand Duke Ji Ting and Mrs. Marina were shocked. Didn't their son always like His Majesty? Even if there were some misunderstandings and unhappiness in the past, he shouldn't like Ka Luosi because of this. They knew very well that Ji Ling had always regarded Ka Luosi as an elder.
Mrs. Marina held her son's hand and said in a low voice, "Yiling, what nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you always like His Majesty? "
Ji Ling raised the corner of his mouth and smiled before saying, "I don't like him anymore."
Mrs. Marina wanted to persuade him again, "But …"
Ji Ling interrupted her and said in a faint voice, "I used to like His Majesty. However, who says that I have to like him all the time and can't like others?"
Grand Duke Ji Ting couldn't help but say, "Don't say things out of anger."
Ji Ling's eyes were persistent as he said, "I'm not saying things out of anger. I'm serious. I used to like His Majesty. However, I didn't know how to behave. I admired him. Now that I'm an adult, I know what true love is. Uncle Ka Luosi has always been very good to me. I like him very much. I'm willing to marry him. Is that not okay? "
Grand Duke Ji Ting and Mrs. Marina: "…"
