The Untamed: Wei Wuxian Reborn as a Child

Chapter 262 Nie Huaisang's Journey of Pursuit

Nie Huaisang chattered incessantly while feeling distressed.

A few months ago, Nie Huaisang excitedly approached his father, Nie Xichun, and said, "Father, I've fallen in love with a woman, and I want to propose marriage."

Nie Xichun glanced at his youngest son, his eyes filled with doubt and scrutiny. "Who do you like?"

Nie Huaisang smiled, his face filled with happiness and longing. "Lin Wan'er, daughter of Lin Xiuyuan of the Liyang Lin Clan."

Nie Xichun frowned slightly, lost in thought. Then he said, "The Lin family is truly a breath of fresh air, and Lin Wan'er is gentle and dignified. She's a fine woman. But... don't you think you're unworthy of her?"

Nie Huaisang's mouth twitched, his face full of disbelief. "Are you my biological father? How can you say that about your son?"

At this time, Nie Mingjue walked in, originally wanting to ask something, but seeing the atmosphere between the two, he asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"

Nie Huaisang said dejectedly, "Brother, you have to make the decision for me."

Nie Mingjue asked with a puzzled look on his face, "What's going on? Speak properly."

Nie Huaisang then spoke seriously, "Brother, I've fallen in love with Lin Wan'er, the daughter of Lin Xiuyuan of the Lin family. I'd like Father to help me propose marriage, but Father says I'm not worthy of her. Don't you think Father is being too harsh?"

Nie Mingjue glanced at his brother and said, "She's definitely not worthy of him. You'd better stop teasing her."

Nie Huaisang was stunned as if struck by lightning. "You...you are going too far. I am your biological child after all, why are you treating me like this? Is it easy for me to like a girl?"

Nie Huaisang stood there angrily, feeling aggrieved. He didn't understand why his father and elder brother didn't see eye to eye with him and Lin Wan'er. He felt that while he wasn't a great hero, he did have his strengths.

Nie Xichun sighed as he looked at Nie Huaisang. "Huaisang, it's not that I won't help you. Lin Wan'er is indeed a good girl, but you also have to look at yourself. You've been idle all day, not striving for progress. How could the Lin family be willing to marry their daughter to you?"

Nie Huaisang said unconvincedly, "How can I be idle? I have my own things to do."

Nie Mingjue said seriously, "What do your things mean? If you truly like Lin Wan'er, you should work hard to improve yourself and become a better person. Only then will you be qualified to propose marriage."

After listening to his father and elder brother's words, Nie Huaisang, though still somewhat dissatisfied, began to reflect on himself. He knew they had a point. If he wanted to be with Lin Wan'er, he had to make some changes.

From then on, Nie Huaisang began to work hard to change himself. He no longer idled away his days, but instead studied family affairs seriously and worked hard to improve his cultivation. He also inquired about Lin Wan'er's preferences, thinking of ways to get closer to her.

However, things didn't go so smoothly. Lin Wan'er was the beloved eldest daughter of the Liyang Lin family, so naturally she had many suitors. It was not easy for Nie Huaisang to stand out among the many suitors.

Once, Nie Huaisang heard that Lin Wan'er loved calligraphy and painting, so he diligently practiced his skills. He spent a lot of time and energy, and finally created a painting that satisfied him. He happily took the painting to see Lin Wan'er, hoping to win her favor.

However, when he arrived in front of Lin Wan'er, he found that several men were already there, showing their courtesy. Some of them were holding precious calligraphy and paintings, while others were holding gorgeous jewelry, all trying hard to please Lin Wan'er.

Seeing this, Nie Huaisang felt a little disappointed. He felt that his paintings were so insignificant compared to their gifts. However, he did not give up.

He plucked up his courage, walked up to Lin Wan'er and handed her his painting.

"Miss Wan'er, this is the painting I drew for you. I hope you like it." Nie Huaisang said nervously.

Lin Wan'er took the painting and glanced at it, a hint of surprise in her eyes. "Did you draw this?"

Nie Huaisang nodded and said, "Yes, I know you like calligraphy and painting, so I drew this especially for you."

Lin Wan'er looked at the painting carefully, a smile on her face. "It's a very nice painting. You are very talented."

Nie Huaisang was overjoyed to hear Lin Wan'er's praise. He felt that his efforts had not been in vain, as he had finally received Lin Wan'er's approval.

However, the other suitors were not resigned. They mocked Nie Huaisang, saying that his paintings were child's play and could not compare to their gifts. Nie Huaisang ignored them and just looked at Lin Wan'er intently, hoping that she would see his true feelings.

Lin Wan'er looked at Nie Huaisang, feeling a little touched. She knew that Nie Huaisang must have put a lot of effort into this painting. She could also feel Nie Huaisang's sincerity towards her.

"Second Master Nie, I like your paintings very much. Thank you." Lin Wan'er said.

Nie Huaisang was filled with joy after hearing Lin Wan'er's words. He felt that he was one step closer to Lin Wan'er.

From then on, the relationship between Nie Huaisang and Lin Wan'er gradually became closer.

They talked about calligraphy and painting together, appreciated the scenery together, and spent many wonderful times together. In this process, Nie Huaisang also worked hard to improve himself and become better.
