The pin-drop silence that came after Qu Xing Xu said those words were evident. The people inside the hall of the east courtyard were all in disbelief as they couldn\'t comprehend that the Duke of Xin came to their humble home carrying chests that were filled with who knows what.

From just a glance, the chests were made out of sturdy and hard to come by woods and there were even gems that were around and on top of it, making them believe that just one of these chests even without what\'s inside it was enough to buy a small house in the Capital.

The sound of gulping could be heard as everyone except Lin Xiaomeng stared at what Qu Xing Xu has brought with envy and desire to steal it from him.

Unfortunately, the person who owns it wasn\'t an ordinary man whom they could easily steal from but the man whose name was sung after the war against their enemies a few years ago.

"How can I dare to do that? The man who has brought peace to this land is asking me to call him by his name. This is something I cannot do." Shame flashed on Lin Xiaomeng\'s face. After all, there\'s no way he would call the young hero by his name and disrespect him when their status differs only by one rank.

Lin Xiaomeng was the great general of the Zheng Empire.. He also participated in the war when Qu Xing Xu was leading on behalf of his grandfather and if at that time, Qu Xing Xu asked him to call him by his name, Lin Xiaomeng wouldn\'t be so polite and humble to refuse.

However, at this moment. Qu Xing Xu was no longer that young man who was only fighting on behalf of his grandfather. He was now the Duke of Xin as well as the God of War that many bowed to. Not even the royal family could act arrogantly in front of him even though they share a little bit of blood.

"What is grandfather saying? As I will now marry your granddaughter, it is only natural for both us to get rid of the formalities between us, right?" Qu Xing Xu only smiled after saying that. He didn\'t even look like he was embarrassed when he smoothly called Lin Xiaomeng his \'grandfather\'.

As it looked like Qu Xing Xu was adamant to call him \'grandfather\', Lin Xiaomeng couldn\'t refuse him any longer and gave up.

"Since it is what you want, then, I guess there\'s nothing to stop me here from calling you by your name." Lin Xiaomeng said. His eyes when he looked at the young man sitting on the side with gentle eyes.

In his eyes, he felt that this young man was indeed a suitable partner to his granddaughter.

Sadly, his granddaughter thought otherwise.

Lin Xiaofei believed that Lin Xiaomeng will make it difficult for Qu Xing Xu and he wouldn\'t give in to the shameless man who wanted to take his granddaughter from him. However, she thought wrong as not only did Lin Xiaomeng gave in, he also seemed to be in cloud nine to know that the most sought after man in the entire empire is now calling him \'grandfather\'.

Thinking about the mocking eyes that some officials used to look at him when he asked if they could make their sons marry Lin Xiaofei, Lin Xiaomeng was in a good mood and couldn\'t wait to see the shocked faces of the officials who mocked him as he slapped them with the truth that Qu Xing Xu will now become his grandson!

On the other hand, while Lin Xiaomeng was feeling so elated at the sudden appearance of his grandson-in-law, the other Lin family wasn\'t as happy as he was as they still couldn\'t accept that Lin Xiaofei ended up getting the biggest fish in the sea.

Looking at the wide smile on Lin Xiaomeng, Lin Sang decided to speak, "Duke Qu Xing Xu, I can understand that you wish to marry one of our young misses in the family but I can\'t seem to understand why must you come here in this weather." He paused before looking at the chest, "And also, what\'s with all these things?"

Lin Sang was trying to indirectly say that Qu Xing Xu didn\'t show any respect to the Lin family for coming there when there\'s a storm outside as it was seen as a bad omen and bad manners to do by someone who\'s asking for a young lady\'s hand for marriage.

Another, Lin Sang didn\'t mention Lin Xiaofei\'s name and instead, mentioned that they have other young misses in the family as if he was advertising his two daughters to Qu Xing Xu.

His two daughters, Lin Yueyi and Lin Xiao were far more beautiful and talented than Lin Xiaofei. Surely, a young man would like a cultured woman with manners right? Besides, if only he could give one of his daughters to Qu Xing Xu as a concubine, Lin Sang won\'t even hesitate to wrap his daughter with ribbons and sent them away.

Qu Xing Xu ignored his underlying meaning and chuckled, "I don\'t mean any ill intent when coming here in this kind of weather. However, I thought that today is perfect to propose to a young lady and I also couldn\'t wait any longer to marry Lin Xiaofei."

He suddenly looked towards the entrance of the hall and saw two figures standing there and his smile broadened, "I don\'t know what I would do if the girl I like slipped away from my hands. I\'m sure grandfather understood what I feel after grandmother passed away."

A gasp escaped Bai Lu as she heard those words coming inside the hall. She secretly glanced at her young miss who stopped walking.

Lin Xiaofei frowned when those words entered her ears. She finally believed that Qu Xing Xu lost his mind or maybe he left it in his house before coming to the Lin residence.

Else, what could possibly explain why he was saying those words while looking at her with sparkling eyes.
