Chapter 226 Seeking Fulfillment
"Okay, then thank you for your hard work, Hanhan!" Lu Jinyan was indeed a little tired. After returning to her room and washing up, she went to sleep.
Mo Xuan, however, did not return to his own residence, but instead went to the Demon King's Palace.
"Xuan'er, what brings you to visit us today?" Mo Yu was quite surprised by his son's sudden appearance.
Since Xuan'er had a falling out with Yin'er over marriage, he moved back to his own residence.
"Father, is Mother here?" Mo Xuan bowed to his father.
"She's in the study. Is there something you need from your mother? She hasn't been feeling well these past few days, so don't upset her!" Mo Yu reminded her with some concern.
"I understand, Father. Don't worry. I did come here today because I have something I want to say to you and Mother. Why don't you come with me?" He had intended to speak to the two elders anyway, and since they were both there, he would go together.
“Okay, I’ll go with you!” Mo Yu was indeed worried, so he agreed.
In the study, Qingyin was handling government affairs when she looked up and saw her husband and son arrive. A smile immediately appeared on her face.
"Xuan'er, Brother Yu, what brings you here?"
“Xuan’er said he had something to tell us, so I came with him. I brought you some bird’s nest porridge, have some, and I’ll take care of the rest.” Mo Yu stepped forward, took his wife’s arm, helped her sit down to the side, and took out the bird’s nest porridge from the food box.
After setting everything up, he sat in the spot where Qingyin had been sitting, ready to take over the remaining official duties in a little while.
"What brings Xuan'er to his mother?" Qingyin asked, taking a sip of bird's nest porridge.
"Mother, Father, your son is unfilial!" Mo Xuan knelt down with a thud as soon as he finished speaking.
Seeing Mo Xuan's action startled Qingyin and Moyu: "Xuan'er, what are you doing? Get up!"
Qingyin quickly put down the bird's nest porridge in her hand and got up to help Moxuan, but Moxuan did not move: "Mother, Father, I have a request, and I hope you will grant it."
"You child, just tell me what's wrong, why are you kneeling? Get up!" Mo Yu also got up and came to Mo Xuan's side.
"Father, Mother, Yan'er has come to Ruoshui City. I want to move in with her, and I also want to marry her. I hope you will grant my request." Mo Xuan lowered his head. He knew it wouldn't be easy, but he had to do it.
"Yan'er? You mean, the woman you admire? She's come to Ruoshui City?" Qingyin frowned, disliking Lu Jinyan even more. Shameless enough to chase a man all the way here, she really has no elders around.
"Yes!" Mo Xuan nodded.
"So what if she's here? Your mansion is so big, can't it accommodate her? Why do you have to go to her place? What kind of behavior is this?" Qingyin was displeased. A mere flower fairy actually had such great abilities, making her son feel like he had lost his soul.
“Mother, Yan’er has her own place to live. She doesn’t want to stay in my residence, so I thought that since she doesn’t want to come, I will go to her! It’s all the same anyway!” Mo Xuan felt that there was no problem with this.
"Nonsense! You, the young master of the Demon King's family, are not living in your own mansion, but moving in with a lowly flower fairy, and you even want to marry her? Xuan'er, have you forgotten what your mother told you before?" Qingyin looked at her son with a hint of disappointment.
“Mother, she is Yan’er, the one I love, not some lowly little flower fairy. Wherever she is, no matter where it is, I feel good. Also, it’s not me who wants to marry her, it’s her who wants to marry me!” Mo Xuan lowered his head, not daring to look at his mother.
"What, what did you say?" Qingyin's hands trembled, unable to believe what she had heard.
"I said, I want to marry Yan'er, and I hope Father and Mother will grant my wish!" Mo Xuan repeated firmly.
"You, you, you're being ridiculous!" Qingyin stumbled and almost fell, but luckily Moyu caught her in time.
"Xuan'er, what nonsense are you talking about? You are the son of the Demon King, how can you marry an unknown little flower fairy and share a wife with someone else?" Mo Yu never expected that his precious son would say such a thing.
Previously, he insisted on marrying the little flower fairy, saying he wouldn't marry anyone but her, which caused a big fight with Yin'er. Afterwards, they discussed it and decided that since he liked her and wanted to marry her, they would let him. At worst, they would have to work harder to prepare a better future for him.
But now, he actually says he wants to marry that little flower fairy? The son of the Demon King, going to be someone else's husband?
"Yes, I want to marry her!" Mo Xuan repeated firmly.
"You, Xuan'er, are you trying to drive your mother to her death? You're destined to inherit the Demon King's throne! You're marrying down! Is this acceptable? Are you trying to force your mother to agree to your marriage this way? Fine, I agree, I agree to let you marry her! Why are you doing this!"
Qingyin's eyes reddened. She never expected that her son, whom she had carefully protected, would do such a thing for a woman!
“Mother, I’m not forcing you. I’m serious. Yan’er doesn’t want to marry anyone else, she only wants to marry a husband. So, I want to marry her and be with her!”
I know what my mother is thinking. I feel that I have given up on myself and wasted all the years of your careful upbringing. I am sorry to you, I have let you down. But I truly love Yan'er. I want to be with her. Even if it means marrying her, or even just being her servant, I would be happy to do so.
As for the position of Demon King, I have never thought about it. My elder brother is better than me in every way, so it is the right thing for him to inherit the position. I know that my father and mother are doing this for my own good, but what you think is good may not be the most suitable for me.
Whether it's the title of Demon King or getting married and having children, it's not important to me. What's important is her! If she wants to marry me, I will marry her; if she doesn't want to marry me, then I will marry her. My father and mother have been in love for many years. They should know that being with the person they love and admire is better than all the glory and wealth.
In all my life, I've never asked my father or mother for anything. This time, I beg you, father and mother, to grant my request. If you feel that my marriage as the son of the Demon King would disgrace the Demon King, I'm willing to give up this identity and live as an ordinary person. I beg you, father and mother, to grant my request!
After Mo Xuan finished speaking, he kowtowed three times to his father and mother. He knew that he had hurt their feelings by saying those words. He knew how good his father and mother had been to him all these years, but he really didn't want to be a demon king. He only wanted to grow old with his beloved and live a happy life together.
