"From what you're saying, you already have a new marriage prospect?"

Li Mochuan smiled.

"Indeed, there is a girl I've taken a fancy to. She also comes from a prominent family, but not from the capital. She's the daughter of an ancient family in Europe. Her father is a duke, and she is his only daughter..."

The meaning of those words is crystal clear.

Rather than waiting out of obligation for a woman whose current state is unknown, it's better to find a presentable noblewoman.

Moreover, this woman can help Li Mochuan completely open up the European market.

Pei Fengzhi neither confirmed nor denied this.

After all, for these people, marriage is merely a way to consolidate their status and wealth, to form alliances, and to continue expanding their influence.

If it were Pei Fengzhi before he met Ye Ningwan, he would definitely have chosen, like Li Mochuan, the woman who could best help him from among many girls to marry.

Therefore, Pei Fengzhi was not disgusted by Li Mochuan's actions; she simply found them ordinary.

"If I have any news, I will let you know. This marriage has indeed been dragging on for too long. It would be better for everyone if it could be ended sooner rather than later."

Seeing that he knew, Li Mochuan didn't say anything more and summoned his men.

"Send someone to properly escort Ninth Master Pei back."

As he spoke, he gave Pei Fengzhi a meaningful smile.

"Master Pei probably has no interest in having breakfast here anymore; there's something much better waiting for him when he gets back."

As he spoke, he patted Pei Fengzhi on the shoulder.

"Be careful with your bride who's supposed to be a bride to bring you good luck. Women are just for fun, don't get too involved. Even if you drift apart, so what? There are plenty of beautiful women in the world, you'll get tired of them eventually."

Then, Li Mochuan took out another cigarette, put it in his mouth, turned around, and lit it as he walked.

Pei Fengzhi watched his retreating figure, gave a faint smile, and said in a nonchalant tone.

"With you like this, by the time you find that little princess of the Ye family, who knows who will break off whose engagement?"
