Bai Heli just watched quietly as his silly younger brother went on and on about the girl's shortcomings.

After Bai Hetang finished his tirade, he spoke calmly.

"Finished counting? Miss Zhao has so many flaws, and instead of keeping your distance, you're trying to outdo her in medical skills."

Is this not the same person you used to be? Before, when didn't you just confront people you didn't like? When did you develop this much patience?

Not only that, you actually remember so many of Miss Zhao's flaws. Who would believe you if you said you didn't care about her?

"Your brother is advising you. You're not getting any younger. You can't stay single forever, can you? Don't wait until a few years later, when your nephews are all married, you, their uncle, are still an old bachelor."

After saying that, Bai Heli patted Bai Hetang on the shoulder and left.

He needs to go and have a serious talk with his biological father; that old iron tree in his family is about to bloom.

As for whether the girl liked his brother, he didn't consider it at all.

Even the most virtuous woman can be won over by persistent suitors. With his brother's stubbornness, if he really takes a liking to a girl, he'll definitely make the first move.

What Bai Heli was gossiping about with his father was unknown. However, a quarter of an hour later, Master Bai called the steward into his study.

After his brother left, Bai Hetang lay back down on his bed and began to question the meaning of life.

"You're interested in her? That crazy woman? She's so petty. If I marry her, what if I offend her one day? What if she drugged me and I lose all right to be a man?"

This is what Baihetang cares about most.

After all, not long ago, he was a man struggling with medication.

Although I have now been detoxified, I still vividly remember the feeling of being controlled by the poison.

That feeling of being abandoned by the whole world was absolutely terrifying.

A man can remain unmarried for life, but he cannot remain unmarried for life.

While Baihetang was still wavering between affirmation and denial, the butler arrived.

"This servant greets the young master."

The master instructed his servants to prepare many gifts and to deliver them to the fourth young lady of the Zhao family.

This servant has come to ask if the young master would be willing to come with me to the Zhao residence.

The master also instructed the servant to remind the young master of a saying: life is short, so when choosing a wife, one must be decisive and ruthless. If you find someone you like, then make your move. Don't wait until the other person finds someone else and then back out.

There's no going back.

Upon hearing this, Bai Hetang knew without guessing that it must have been his older brother who had gone to the old man to gossip.

"Alright, I'm not going. You need to let me think it through and figure out if I really like her."

The steward bowed again. "If I may remind you, Miss Zhao is said to be preparing to depart within three days."

Someone just saw the Zhao family's enormous carriage leave the city.

It is said that the carriage transported Miss Zhao's tiger out of the city. It's just unknown whether Miss Zhao will take the tiger with her this time when she leaves the capital.

After speaking, the butler lowered his head and stood there meekly, his hands clasped in front of him, motionless, like a clock that hadn't been wound up.

When Bai Hetang heard that Zhao Qinghe was going to take the tiger back to the capital, he was certain that she was really leaving.

He became increasingly anxious. He hadn't figured out his own feelings yet, and they were about to depart.

Based on his understanding of Zhao Qinghe, he estimated that this separation would be for life.

Unless her father becomes a high-ranking official in the capital, she might be able to return to the capital.

But he dared not gamble. What if Zhao Qinghe met someone she liked while she was out sightseeing?
