As He Xiaomingjin’s face drooped, He Xiaolanya smiled, "Did you know she already has two children and has been married before?"
"I know."
"Since you know, why do you still want to be with her?"
"I told you, I met her when I went to Lancheng, and I liked her very much back then. For all these years, I have been waiting for her. Actually, I didn't want to tell you, but seeing how excellent Wei Wei Jie is, I worried she might be snatched away by someone else."
He Xiaomingjin truly liked Meng Jingwei.
After decades of waiting, he finally waited for Meng Jingwei to return, and he wanted to seize the opportunity.
No matter what her past was, it didn't affect his feelings for her.
"Mingjin, you're still too young. Some things are not as easy as you imagine," He Xiaolanya patted He Xiaomingjin's shoulder, earnestly advising him.
"I've waited for more than ten years. What do you think I can't accept?"
His gaze was firm, "The reason I'm being frank with you is that I want your support. As long as you agree, I will pursue Wei Wei Jie openly. I am the same age as her, and I believe I can take good care of her. Of course, I will also accept Mrs. Lanya's scrutiny."
His life motto was to boldly pursue the person he loved.
It was just that for so many years, Meng Jingwei had not been in the Hidden Clan, and he had no opportunity to show his intentions.
He Xiaolanya was slightly taken aback, moved by his fervent and sincere heart.
After a moment’s thought, she said, "You grew up before my eyes. You are pure-hearted, kind, and not bad at all. Jingwei is, after all, the mother of two children and has been married. Compared to you, as long as you can accept her, I have no objections."
"Really?"
He Xiaomingjin's eyes lit up, overjoyed, his mouth almost splitting to his ears.
"But what's the use if I accept it? You have to strive to win Jingwei's acceptance." He Xiaolanya did not obstruct him.
She had her own ulterior motives for agreeing to He Xiaomingjin.
Because Meng Jingwei grew up in Lancheng, was married, and her two children and adoptive mother were all in Lancheng, it would be extremely difficult to make her stay in the Hidden Clan.
To make Meng Jingwei willingly stay in the Hidden Clan, something was needed to make her linger and care.
And emotion was the best bargaining chip.
If He Xiaomingjin could win Meng Jingwei's favor, she would then willingly stay in the Hidden Clan.
The royal family of the Hidden Clan allowed polygyny, and also polyandry, making them extremely open-minded.
Once Meng Jingwei ascended to the position of Hidden Lord and took in many consorts, what was one more He Xiaomingjin to her?
"Good, good, good, of course, there's no problem."
He Xiaomingjin was overjoyed, too happy to close his mouth.
If not for the three elders present, he would have jumped up to cheer.
"Looking at your temperament, you're still like a child who hasn't grown up," He Xiaolanya smiled and stood up, "I'm going to rest. You should go to bed early too."
Old Man Tou did not expect He Xiaolanya to agree.
And he, naturally, had no objections.
He Xiaomingjin was his grandson, and Meng Jingwei was his disciple. Their union would bring them even closer, and he was happy to see it happen.
At this moment, upstairs.
Because the door to the room was open, He Xiaomingjin was rather excited, and his voice naturally rose a bit, but he was oblivious. However, the couple in the second-floor room clearly heard their conversation.
Qing Muye gently closed the door, pushed Meng Jingwei against the door panel, and raised his hand to cup her chin, "Ah Wei, tell me, what should I do with you?"
His eyes were as dark as the abyss, and the helplessness hidden deep within his pupils could not be concealed.
