Yun Qing was born with unparalleled beauty. She has always been adored by others, never the one to highlight them. Who knew that one day, someone would tell her she was merely a willful cannon fodd...
Liu's father wept bitterly in his wife's arms.
“My son, I will not stop you from doing business. But as a man, safety is the most important thing. In the future, you should take more skilled women with you when you go out.”
This time, Liu Chengxi didn't say anything against it and nodded in agreement.
However, there was still one thing on his mind.
"Father, do you know any women in Shengjing who are highly skilled in martial arts and have unparalleled beauty?"
"Why are you asking this?" Mr. Liu asked, somewhat curious.
His son is different from others; he loves to be in the public eye and has no interest in romance.
Whenever they tried to find him a wife, he would always refuse, saying that he didn't like women. Over time, they gave up and let him grow into an eighteen-year-old old man.
Under the suspicious gazes of her father and mother, Liu Chengxi found it difficult to speak. After all, he was the one who had boasted that he would never marry, so how could he go back on his word now?
However, when he thought of the person who haunted his dreams, he ultimately contradicted himself.
"Father, Mother, I was in danger today, but a young lady saved me. She even saw my chest, so..."
Liu Chengxi's voice grew softer and softer, until the rest of his words became inaudible.
However, Liu's parents immediately understood what he meant; their son had fallen in love with her at first sight.
"Highly skilled in martial arts and possessing unparalleled beauty? Where would you find someone like that? If such a person truly existed, matchmakers would have worn down his doorstep long ago; how could it possibly be your turn?"
“But, but,” Liu Chengxi was unwilling to accept the fact that the woman he admired might be married, and retorted, “She looks very young. In Shengjing, women don’t usually get married at eighteen. Maybe she hasn’t even been engaged yet.”
What Liu Chengxi said made sense. Liu's father stroked his chin and pondered, "Based on your description, there really is such a candidate."
"Who is it?" Liu Chengxi was overjoyed.
"The Empress's niece, General Zhao."
"General Zhao? No, it's not her."
Liu Chengxi had seen this man before. Half a year ago, when General Zhao returned to the capital to report on his duties, he had gone to the city gate to see him.
General Zhao is Li Huaiyin's cousin. She followed General Zhao to train at the border when she was young. She has handsome features, slightly dark skin, and is taller than the average woman. She can truly be described as both beautiful and dashing.
However, compared to that person, it's not the same style.
"The woman I met today had fair skin and, despite her high level of martial arts skills, was gentle and refined. She bore no resemblance to General Zhao."
"This," upon hearing his words, a figure suddenly flashed through Liu's mother's mind, but she had never heard of that person knowing martial arts, so it shouldn't be him.
"Brother, don't worry. If you and that woman are destined to be together, you will definitely have a chance to meet again. Your mother will keep an eye out for you."
Although Liu Chengxi was anxious, there was nothing he could do. He had not yet successfully produced cement and glass, and with the power of the Liu family, finding someone in Shengjing would be extremely difficult.
In contrast to Liu Chengxi's situation, as soon as Yun Qing returned to the Yun family, her subordinates handed her the information on the people she had saved that day.
"Liu Chengxi?" Looking at the name on the paper, Yun Qing smiled with amusement.
What a coincidence! Just a few days ago, she said she wanted to meet Li Huaiyin's friend. Little did she know that she would become his savior by some twist of fate.
