The Emperor’s Counterattack

In the last life, Qi Zhiheng was a low-level cultivator with poor personal quality in the Xuanyue mainland, which was respected by martial arts. He was expelled from his home and became a small lan...

Chapter 39 Fiancée

Qi Zhiheng bowed respectfully and said, "Grandmother, Father, Mother, Madam Xue."

Yang Yao and Yuan Xue sat in the main seats, and the girl sitting next to Yuan Xue was probably his fiancée.

Yuan Xue was stunned for a moment: "This...this is Zhi Heng?" The person in front of her was bloated, and the wide robe was still tight on his body. Although other parts could not be seen, you could tell how fat he was just from the triple chin.

When Yang Yiqian saw her fiancé looking like a fat pig, she almost fainted when she touched her temple with her slender fingers!

Qi Zhiheng looked Yang Yiqian up and down, deliberately revealing a lecherous grin.

Yang Yiqian was so frightened that she threw herself behind Yuan Xue.

Qi Zhiheng said, "This must be Qianqian, right? She's truly beautiful inside and out, a sight to behold! Marrying Qianqian is the greatest blessing of my life, Madam Xue, please rest assured! The Qi family's traditions speak for themselves! I will definitely be devoted to my partner from now on!"

Not only was Yang Yiqian about to faint, but even Yuan Xue wanted to faint immediately. Two years ago, he was a handsome young man, but now he's so fat that he can't even compare to a pregnant sow!

Yuan Xue questioned, "Sister Yao! Are you not satisfied with this marriage and planning to just find someone to fool our Yang family?"

Yang Yao retorted, "Sister-in-law, that's not right. This is my real grandson. How could I possibly try to fool you with something like this? But you can rest assured, the men in our Qi family are all very devoted. There's absolutely no such thing as having multiple wives and concubines. Qianqian will definitely not suffer any grievances in our family. Or, why don't we let the two younger generation go down and get to know each other while we elders continue to discuss marriage and other matters?"

Looking at Qi Zhiheng's face, which was squished into a ball of flesh, and hearing Yang Yao say that she had to be alone with this ball of flesh, Yang Yiqian, still a young girl, immediately lost control and screamed, "No! I don't want to be with this fat pig! Grandma, I don't want to!" After saying that, she was so frightened that she burst into tears, hiding in Yuan Xue's arms and sobbing, not daring to raise her head.

Yang Yao calmly said, "It seems that Qianqian is not very satisfied with this marriage? Is there anything wrong with my grandson?"

Yuan Xue said, "You can't blame Qianqian for this. She's still young, so it's understandable that she'd be frightened."

Yuan Xue glanced at Qi Zhiheng again and said, "Let's put this matter aside for now. Qianqian and I will head back first. I'll discuss the marriage arrangements with my grandmother before I come back to tell you, Yao-meimei." With that, she left Butterfly Stone Town with Yang Yiqian.

After the Yang family left, Yang Yao sighed, "It seems this marriage is going to fall through."

Yang Yao had never agreed to Yang Yiqian marrying into the Qi family; the engagement was only arranged because of the Yang family's power. But now that her grandson had grown so fat, it would be difficult to find him a good match in the future.

Seeing his grandmother sighing, Qi Zhiheng comforted her, "Grandma, given Yang Yiqian's attitude towards her grandson, even if we marry her, it will only cause domestic discord. Moreover, our family has many secrets. If Yang Yiqian discovers anything, our Qi family might be exposed to the Yang family."

Yang Yao glanced at Qi Zhiheng, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back. She knew Qi Zhiheng was right; wasn't she just worried about her grandson's marriage?
