Sheng Ai's face looked as if it had been painted...
No!
It is so exquisite, as if it were carved, that it is absolutely flawless.
However, precisely because it looks so much like a sculpture, it appears overly detailed and lacks vibrancy.
Even her perfectly shaped lips seemed devoid of color...
besides……
Everyone was just trying to get a clearer view.
Ninth Master had already bent down to pick up the veil from the ground and very gentlemanly tied it on Sheng Ai.
"Since Miss Ai is not feeling well, it would be better for her to wear a veil."
Throughout, his fingers never touched Sheng Ai's skin.
Sheng Ai remained silent throughout, only politely saying, "Thank you."
Ninth Master walked over a few steps and opened the car door for Sheng Ai: "Miss Ai is not feeling well, you should go home and rest early."
Sheng Ai nodded slightly, got into the car, and still didn't look at Ninth Master twice.
As Ninth Master was about to close the car door for Sheng Ai, he suddenly asked, "Miss Ai, could you tell me your phone number or WeChat?"
Sheng Ai made a thoughtful expression, then nodded: "Okay."
She moved her lips and recited a string of numbers.
Because she was in the car and spoke softly, no one dared to approach Ninth Master.
So apart from Sheng Tianxing and Ninth Master, no one heard Sheng Ai announce the numbers.
However, everyone saw Ninth Master's delighted smile: "I'll remember that, I will definitely call Miss Ai."
What does it mean to be "astoundingly amazing"?
That was the moment I saw Sheng Ai's face!
What does it mean to be stunningly beautiful?
It was the moment I saw Ninth Master smile!
Until Sheng Ai's car drove away.
Ninth Master then got into his car and drove away slowly.
The crowd finally came to their senses and erupted in chaos.
"So beautiful! Sheng Ai is so beautiful, even I, a woman, am attracted to her. No wonder Ninth Master fell in love with her at first sight..."
"Okay, I admit you're right, I lost even more badly when she took off her veil, but I accept my defeat wholeheartedly..."
"Did I hear that right? Ninth Master actually asked a girl he just met for her phone number? And he said he would definitely call her? Has the sun risen in the west?"
"It seems Ninth Master is serious. Old Master Shi's last wish can finally be fulfilled..."
A girl covered her cheek and said, "Waaah, am I the only one who feels so swoon-worthy that I almost fainted when Ninth Master veiled Sheng Ai?"
Immediately, someone blushed and chimed in: "Me too! At that moment, I felt like I was the one having my veil tied by Ninth Master, my heart was pounding..."
Regardless of the occasion.
There will always be someone who jumps out to pour cold water on things.
"Why are you two being so affectionate? Ninth Master is a staunch non-marriage advocate; he said it himself."
Everyone exclaimed in surprise, "Really?"
Everyone turned to look at Shi Qian.
Shi Qian was also stunned.
It took me a moment to come to my senses.
Somewhat embarrassed, he said, "My ninth uncle did say something like that..."
Everyone: "..."
Someone asked, "Given Ninth Master's status and circumstances, would Old Master Shi allow him to remain unmarried for life?"
Shi Qian: "Of course my grandfather hopes that my ninth uncle will get married soon, but my ninth uncle is good in every way, so my grandfather can't bear to say a single word of criticism to him."
"But my grandfather said that as long as Uncle Jiu gets married, he will give half of his shares to the girl who can help Uncle Jiu get married."
Everyone gasped in surprise: "If Sheng Ai can really marry Ninth Master, she'll be set for life!"
"No, it's not that Sheng Ai has become rich, it's that the Sheng family has become rich!"
"Although the Sheng family is now wealthy and powerful, at the height of their fortunes, they are still nouveau riche with a poor reputation. Only by marrying into a top-tier family like the Shi family can they truly be accepted by the aristocratic circles..."
Someone else is pouring cold water on things.
"But don't you think Ninth Master looks a lot like a monk?"
"He does not kill, does not shed blood, does not eat meat, does not have sex with women, and is a staunch non-marriage advocate. He is just short of shaving his head and living in a temple."
At this point, everyone nodded, "Yes, Ninth Master does indeed resemble a monk."
"He's not really planning to never get married, is he?"
Listening to the crowd's discussion, Xiaoying quietly sent a message to Sheng Tianxing.
Sheng Tianxing glanced cautiously at Sheng Ai, who was driving, her beautiful face contorted with jealousy.
God knows!
How heartbroken she must have felt when she saw Ninth Master personally picking up and tying Sheng Ai's veil...
She could only keep telling herself, "[Sheng Ai isn't human!]"
Even if Ninth Master really falls for Sheng Ai and is even willing to marry her, the two still won't be able to be intimate...
[What would Ninth Master's reaction be if he discovered Sheng Ai's unusual behavior?]
[It's funny just thinking about it...]
Now that she has received Xiaoying's message, she sneers inwardly.
[So many people think Sheng Ai has a good chance of marrying into the Shi family, does Sheng Ai think so too?]
[When her dream of marrying into a top-tier family shatters, Sheng Ai will know what it feels like to be humiliated and ridiculed...]
[But is Ninth Master truly a staunch non-marriage advocate?]
[If that's the case, it'll be really troublesome for me...]
She messaged Xiaoying with a complaining tone, "[Why didn't you tell me sooner that Ninth Master is a vegetarian and doesn't like fortune telling?]"
[I almost lost all face during the meal...]
Xiaoying, [Sorry, I didn't know beforehand.]
[My ninth uncle rarely comes to Haicheng; he's quite mysterious. I rarely have contact with him, but he still decided to come to my mother's birthday party at the last minute. I really don't know much about him.]
[Don't worry, I'll try to find out about Uncle Jiu from my mom and cousins, and then I'll tell you...]
Sheng Tianxing silently cursed Xiaoying in his heart for being useless, and replied to her, "[Thank you, Xiaoying.]"
[You're so good to me, I'll definitely help you win over my older brother.]
