Chapter 1281: Chapter 776: Verifying Identity (Part 2)

"No, I have to bring them up." Yuan Kai couldn’t stand it anymore and directly walked over.

An Ji looked at Yuan Kai’s angry face, initially wanting to stop him, but inexplicably chose silence and followed Yuan Kai over.

"Yu’er, come up!"

On the shore, Yuan Kai shouted loudly.

Yuan YanYu was chatting enthusiastically with An Youyou.

The more she interacted with Ali, the better her impression of him, and her heart began to stir.

Upon hearing her father’s voice, she felt a bit uneasy but didn’t dare to resist, so she let the servants row the boat to the shore.

Yuan YanYu got to the shore first.

As she got up, she turned around wanting to pull An Youyou up.

An Youyou didn’t refuse, just reached out.

Yuan YanYu’s hand was blocked by Yuan Kai.

"A grown man, the little Imperial Physician can’t come up without your help?" Yuan Kai mocked.

Yuan YanYu was upset, "Father!"

"I can come up myself," An Youyou quickly said.

Also sensing General Yuan’s hostility towards her.

She carefully prepared to get to the shore.

The boat swayed a bit.

An Youyou struggled somewhat.

She gritted her teeth, raised her foot, intending to step onto the shore when her body suddenly swayed.

An Youyou was scared, thinking she was going to fall into the lake, when a big hand suddenly held her steady, and in the next moment, she fell into a solid chest, which was a bit painful.

"Be careful." A familiar male voice sounded above her head.

An Youyou’s heart stirred slightly.

She emerged from An Ji’s embrace the next moment, respectfully saying, "Thank you, sir."

"Ali, are you okay?!" Yuan YanYu wanted to rush to An Youyou’s side excitedly.

Yuan Kai tightly held onto his daughter, "Do you have any sense of decorum? Don’t you know that men and women should keep their distance?"

"Father..."

"From today on, stay inside and don’t plan on going out, and definitely don’t come to find the little Imperial Physician," Yuan Kai didn’t give Yuan YanYu any chance to refuse, directly issuing the order.

"Why?! Why can’t I come to play with Ali! I like Ali, I just want to play with him." Yuan YanYu didn’t listen at all.

"You, you, you are a daughter..."

"What’s wrong with being a daughter?! Daughters can still wield swords and spears on the battlefield!" Yuan YanYu looked at Yuan Kai, "I won’t hide it from you anymore, I like Ali, I want to marry Ali!"

As soon as those words came out.

Everyone present was shocked.

An Youyou was taken aback.

My goodness.

She never thought about marrying a "wife."

She originally thought it was just friendship between her and Yuan YanYu.

After really spending time with Yuan YanYu, she realized her personality was different from the typical noble lady; she was more straightforward, perhaps due to being born into a military family, there weren’t many twists and turns.

She truly didn’t expect Yuan YanYu to have feelings for her?! 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Is it because she made herself look too good?!

Her mother once advised her that when disguising herself with a human skin mask, she should make it ordinary if she didn’t want to be noticed, not too eye-catching. It’s not that she didn’t want to follow her mother’s advice, but she was a face-lover, always making her disguise look good.

This time she really caused trouble.

"How can you say such things?!" Yuan Kai was furious, his face turning green.

A proper daughter actually openly declared her fondness for a man; if word gets out, which family would still come to propose?

Moreover.

Yuan Kai’s heart was set on betrothing his daughter to Du Zhimiao.

Du Zhimiao was talented and would surely be promising in the future; marrying him would ease his mind, yet his daughter now confessed her feelings for another man right in front of Du Zhimiao?!

Yuan Kai was so angry he almost fainted!

"Ali, do you like me?" Yuan YanYu didn’t want to argue with her father; she directly approached Ali and asked him affectionately.

She hadn’t planned on revealing her feelings so soon, firstly because Ali was indeed a bit young, unaware of the Daxuan Kingdom’s customs, but in Cang Kingdom, men must be at least sixteen to marry. Secondly, as a woman, confessing was still a bit embarrassing.

It was her father’s pressure that forced her to speak her heart.

But now that she had said it, she didn’t care anymore.

"I..." An Youyou was truly at a loss for how to respond.

Saying she didn’t like him, in front of so many people, how embarrassing would that be for a girl.

Saying she liked him...

She couldn’t like him either!

She was also a woman.
