the Xu Family?” Suddenly, Jiang Qianqian’s boyfriend furrowed his brow slightly and muttered to himself in confusion.

“Shisuke, what did you say?” Jiang Qianqian asked, startled.

The man’s name was Yano Shisuke; he was a bona fide Island Country native, but he loved making friends, so he knew quite a few people.

He had numerous friends in Yan Country as well, and through many conversations, he had come to understand some of the situations there.

However, even though the name Xu Family from Yanjing seemed familiar to him, he just couldn’t recall it at the moment.

But he knew that this person named Chen Zhen’er definitely came from a major family in Yan Country.

With that thought, Yano Shisuke’s gaze lingered on Chen Zhen’er for a few more moments.

No wonder everything about her, from her manners to her speech, exuded the air of a young lady from a prominent family.

“Didn’t say anything?” Yano Shisuke shook his head and casually asked, “Miss Chen Zhen’er, how long do you plan to stay in Island Country?

You can’t hide for a lifetime, after all.”

He spoke fluent Yan Country language, and his accent was even extremely pure.

“This…

I haven’t thought that much about it, maybe just take one step at a time,” she said.

Chen Zhen’er furrowed her delicate brows and spoke softly, “Anyway, I don’t want to easily hand over my life to someone I have never even met.”

“Qianqian, why worry so much?

Since we’re here, we should just enjoy the food and drink.

If you’re here to worry, you might as well stay at home and resign yourself to fate,” Jiang Qianqian said, holding her hand and comforting her.

“Maybe the man arranged to marry you will see that it cannot be done, get angry, and cancel it, and then all your troubles will be gone, right?”

“Well, I guess that’s the only option,” Chen Zhen’er conceded, feeling much more at ease, as worrying would only add unnecessary stress.

It was better to relax and enjoy herself.

“That’s the spirit!

What’s the point of living if your head is full of troubles?”

Jiang Qianqian giggled, a hint of mischief flashing in her eyes, her curiosity getting the better of her, and she couldn’t help but ask, “Qing Ning, the man you’re arranged to marry, what’s his background?

He must have an impressive background to be matched with you, probably a young talent, right?”

Yano Shisuke also listened curiously.

“Hmm, he’s from the Qin Family, his name is Qin Qinglong,” Chen Zhen’er said faintly.

“Ah, it’s actually him?

And…

you’re unwilling?”

Jiang Qianqian hadn’t reacted yet, but Yano Shisuke exclaimed in surprise, his complexion changing.

He knew that Qin Qinglong was one of the Yanjing Twin Stars, a leading figure among the young generation of Yanjing.

In the vast Yan Country, it was almost impossible to find a man more outstanding than him.

Jiang Qianqian, not understanding the significance, just giggled and teased Chen Zhen’er, “Qin Qinglong?

Ha, what a powerful and nice-sounding name!

What does he do?

What accomplishments does he have?

Qing Ning, you might as well spill the beans.”

“Er…

I’ve only heard some things about him,” Chen Zhen’er pouted slightly and gave Jiang Qianqian a look.

After thinking for a bit, she added, “He’s in his twenties, a government official, apparently with a very high rank.

Many people have high hopes for him.

In any case, he’s very accomplished and has a promising future.”

“Ah, with all those qualifications, you still refuse?

How high-ranking of an official is he?” Jiang Qianqian pressed.

“How should I put it, roughly equivalent to one of the top two positions in a city,” Chen Zhen’er said softly.

“Wow, no kidding!” Jiang Qianqian’s eyes glittered with envy.

Upon hearing this, Yano Shisuke was also taken aback, his expression changing drastically.

Oh my goodness, isn’t this too impressive for someone so young?

He wondered if it was Qin Qinglong’s own outstanding abilities that got him there, or was it more about leveraging his family’s influence?

However, even if someone’s personal capabilities are excellent, without the help of their family, they couldn’t have climbed to such a high position at such a young age.

He surmised that the Qin Family, like the Oda clan, must be a behemoth in Yan Country.

And the Xu Family’s connection with the Qin Family through marriage would naturally be not too shabby either, or else the Qin Family would suffer a great loss.

After all, the purpose of a marriage alliance is to unite strong families through a well-matched marriage.

His own girlfriend, unexpectedly able to be acquainted with a daughter of such a prestigious family, truly had not seen that coming.

“Yueyue, may I ask what you are thinking?

He is so young and promising, and he has a family background, yet you still despise him and even ran away from the wedding?”

Jiang Qianqian spread her hands, indicating she couldn’t understand, and began to guess, “He can’t be an ugly freak, can he?

That shouldn’t be the case.

Could it be that his private life is a mess?

Or is there some other reason that you dislike?”

“None of what you’re saying.

He’s quite handsome and has a clean lifestyle, no scandals.” Chen Zhen’er answered truthfully.

At the same time, she recalled the scene when Xu Tianhu spoke about the marriage alliance, making her feel like a commodity, never once taking her thoughts and feelings into consideration.

All Xu Tianhu thought of, was it all for the family’s benefit?

As for whether it was for his personal benefit or the entire family’s interest, that was unknown.

Anyway, every time she thought of this scene, she felt utterly aggrieved and heartbroken; it instinctively made her miserably uncomfortable.

And the Xu Family had long since changed its flavor.

Since her father Xu Tianlong’s sudden death, the Xu Family had become incredibly unfamiliar, the warmth of human relationships hard to find.

The trusted followers of the former Xu Tianlong had also been suppressed and driven out, either becoming marginalized small-timers or simply dismissed.

Now, those managing and controlling the Xu Family were Xu Tianhu’s people.

Over these three years, Chen Zhen’er had grown unacquainted with this home, and if not for the need to take care of her confined mother, she would have flown far away as soon as possible.

Initially, she hesitated, torn between resigning to fate or taking a risky leap; however, upon learning of the marriage alliance, her mother Zhang Qingning proactively encouraged her to escape and live her own life.

Zhang Qingning well knew that there was little hope for her own life, and her greatest wish was simply for her children to live well and be happy.

“Then, you must have fallen for someone else, that’s why you don’t want to marry Qin Qinglong.”

Jiang Qianqian thought she had guessed Chen Zhen’er’s troubles and revealed a mischievous smirk, then analyzed, “There are a lot of pretty good romance shows from Yan Country.

I usually like watching these series, where many rich young ladies fall for the poor man of their dreams.

Yueyue, I didn’t expect it, but you also have a taste for this trope?”

“You, what are you thinking about?

?????.??

Always with these wild guesses?”

Chen Zhen’er rolled her eyes speechlessly and said earnestly, “I just don’t have any feelings for him, not a single bit, so no matter how bright and dazzling he is, I don’t want to let him into my eyes.

On the other hand, even if he’s like a dusty pearl that hasn’t seen the light for a long time, in my eyes, he would still shine bright as the sun and moon.”

As she spoke, her eyes sparkled with a radiant light.

It seemed that these were feelings from the heart, words that sprang from deep within.

“You speak as if I’m almost inclined to believe you,” said Jiang Qianqian, shaking her head, still unable to understand, and stated outright, “I think you’re chasing after the trivial and neglecting the essential, not recognizing the fortune you have.”

“That’s right,” Chen Zhen’er’s gaze suddenly became resolute, and she murmured, “If it’s not the fortune I seek, then it is a calamity.

The fortune I desire, even if it be a calamity, I would still treat it as my blessing.”

“Ah, forget it, I can’t argue with you.”

Jiang Qianqian waved her hand, not wanting to argue further, and changed the subject, “By the way, with such a big event happening, how come your brother doesn’t know about it?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhen’er’s expression grew even more somber.
