1534 Not the Phoenix Girl 2
“When you are engaged and married, I will arrange a good task for you. You can go anywhere you want in the country. Or do you like the military? You can go to the boundary as well.”
As he was speaking, the King felt that he was offering really nice conditions.
The Phoenix Girl for a noble lady and a wonderful official position… that was already a wonderful thing for a man.
The Phoenix Girl was a very excellent woman, but in the King’s opinion, this son of his was not a good match for her, and he could not offer what the Phoenix Girl needed. So he needed to pick another woman who fitted him better.
He had already put forward the merits and drawbacks, and this stupid son of his should have understood what choice to make.
He could even make some more promises, if he asked for more.
The King looked at Zhou Huaijin with confidence. He did not think that this son of his would turn it down. He was watching him with a look of relaxation.
Zhou Huaijin sneered.
He had already foreseen what his father wanted, judging from the guards and imperial army that surrounded his mansion.
His father only gave the best to his Ling son, and the others were just nothing.
What a pity. His father had never understood him, or tried to get to know him.
None of the conditions would be enough for Chaoyan.
His father just did not understand. Chaoyan was the most important thing in his life, and he would even exchange the entire throne for her.
She was never the bargaining chip for anything in his eyes. She was the only thing that mattered. No one was able to cross that line.
“Chaoyan is mine.” Zhou Huaijin answered expressionlessly.
The King was about to nod when he was startled. He had thought that he had misheard. He looked up at Zhou Huaijin. “What did you say?”
“Chaoyan is mine.” Zhou Huaijin repeated coldly. “She is not your bargaining chip. If she doesn’t want to marry me, I will leave. If she wants to marry me, I will always marry her. No one else is able to change or stop me.”
Including you.
Zhou Huaijin looked really vicious.
The King sneered.
Hard headed, just like the Jiang Family, tricky and tough.
He had said that because he saw how valuable the Phoenix Girl was, but what he had been offered was not a comparison, right?
Feeling untouched, the King said quietly, “You are not in the position to make a decision. Gu Chaoyan is the Phoenix Girl, but you are just a lord without any position. What is the point of marrying her?”
“…”
“I am talking to you nicely so you should take what I offer you and what you want.”
“…”
“Your refusals will not change anything.”
“…”
“Don’t answer so fast. I will give you a few more days to think about my request.” The King said with displeasure, “Don’t mess it up and get nothing in the end.”
The King began to sound threatening.
Zhou Huaijin stared at him coldly and showed no change of expression. “Chaoyan is mine.”
The King became furious.
He seemed to have recalled what General Jiang did to him years back. General Jing was always imposing, and his grandson was just the same. He should have removed everyone from the Jiang Family!
“Oh yeah? You will never know if she is yours, until the end.”
