On Vermilion Bird Avenue, a wedding procession stretching for miles advanced in grand splendor.
The gilded bridal sedan, carried by sixteen bearers, shimmered under the sunlight. The embroide...
"What Your Highness is saying is...?" Li Zhiwei looked at Xu Heming in confusion. Why does this person only say half of what he means?
He did explain clearly who that person was.
"Sit closer, I'll tell you something," Xu Heming said to Li Zhiwei in a serious tone.
Li Zhiwei didn't think much of it and sat down, keeping a distance of one person from Xu Heming.
"Are you afraid I'll eat you up?" Xu Heming was clearly unhappy with the distance.
You know, he was her fiancé, yet she kept her distance from him.
At that moment, the carriage jolted violently!
Li Zhiwei's body instinctively leaned forward, and it looked like she was about to fall.
Xu Heming instinctively reached out and firmly supported Li Zhiwei's arm.
The original distance instantly disappeared. Li Zhiwei could clearly feel the sense of security emanating from a pair of warm, large hands through the layers of clothing. For a moment, both of them were stunned.
Xu Heming was the first to let go, but then he was somewhat disappointed, as the sensation he had just experienced was too brief.
"What are you doing?" Xu Qingshi glared at the two people with ambiguous eyes, looking displeased.
"Father, it was clearly me who fell down, why are you helping this pretty lady?" Xu Qingshi, who had fallen onto the carriage, glared at Xu Heming with displeasure.
“You’re a boy, you’re tough, you won’t break if you fall,” Xu Heming said seriously.
Upon hearing this, Li Zhiwei couldn't help but cover the slight smile on her lips with her handkerchief.
"How dare you say that in front of your grandmother?" Xu Qingshi asked, looking at Xu Heming with displeasure.
"Don't go to your grandmother to complain all the time, you little kid." Xu Heming had a headache. It seemed that he couldn't let go of the child's education.
After all, this guy is quite difficult to deal with.
He has too many tricks up his sleeve; he might fall for them if he's not careful, let alone his mother.
"Pretty sister, from now on, will you help me or him?" Xu Qingshi asked Li Zhiwei, who was standing to the side, without even looking at Xu Heming.
Li Zhiwei was stunned upon hearing this.
"I'll side with whoever is right," Li Zhiwei thought for a moment and then voiced her thoughts.
"If my father does something wrong, can you use family law on him?" Xu Qingshi thought about how Xu Heming whipped him, and he also looked forward to the day when his beautiful older sister would whip his disobedient father.
Li Zhiwei was stumped by the question; she seemed hesitant to answer it!
She was no match for Xu Heming.
Li Zhiwei looked at Xu Heming for help, as if asking for his opinion. You should answer your son's question yourself.
"You think I'm as stupid as you?" Xu Heming was speechless. This son of his, all that cleverness he had, was just making things difficult for himself.
"Your Highness hasn't said yet, who should I find?" Li Zhiwei was still thinking about finding a prominent person to cooperate with.
At this moment, I just wanted to use this to change the subject of this awkward question.
“There is one person who is most suitable to do this business with you, and I believe no one in the capital would dare to make things difficult for her,” Xu Heming said with great certainty.
"Who is that person?" Li Zhiwei asked with great curiosity.
“Cheng Qingli!” Xu Heming slowly uttered a name.
Li Zhiwei frowned; she had never heard of this name before.
Among the noble ladies in the capital, none had ever seen this person before.
Who exactly is Cheng Qingli?
