Does this mean they're not together yet?
Liu Chengxi recalled the historical materials he had read. In his memory, Yun Qing married Li Huaiyin in the twentieth year of Hong'an, which was about two years later.
If they haven't developed feelings for each other yet, does that mean he can prevent them from being together and thus change history?
With this in mind, after learning that Li Huaiyin had visited the Cangxiang Pavilion, he devised a plan to get to know him.
However, after getting to know Li Huaiyin better, he learned that they had already secretly pledged their lives to each other.
What could he say? Advise them to break up, but looking at the sparkle in Li Huaiyin's eyes when he mentioned Yun Qing, it seemed like there was absolutely no possibility of that.
To be honest, he really couldn't understand what his idol liked about Yun Qing. Based on what he had learned over the past few days, this daughter of the eldest prince really had nothing to offer.
As for the legendary face that is said to be the envy of both heaven and man, sorry, Liu Chengxi, a science and engineering guy who spends all his time in the lab and whose only hobby is reading history books, doesn't care at all.
For a long time afterward, Liu Chengxi maintained close contact with Li Huaiyin.
Under the guise of being a friend of the Crown Prince, his business grew larger and larger, expanding beyond spices into other industries such as clothing.
After accumulating enough capital, Liu Chengxi was no longer satisfied with these ordinary businesses. As an engineering PhD, he had many other ways to make money, such as formulas for cement and glass. If these things were to appear in the world, they would not only help him earn more money than he could ever spend in his lifetime, but the status of the Liu family would also rise. Moreover, the productivity of the entire Great Sheng Dynasty would increase, and history would be rewritten under his hands.
Thinking of these things, Liu Chengxi felt a surge of excitement, as if he could see his name placed alongside Li Huaiyin's, listed as one of the men who made the greatest contributions to the dynasty.
On this day, Liu Chengxi took a few servants to the outskirts to look at the raw materials for making cement.
Unexpectedly, a group of bandits descended from the sky halfway there.
The leader at the front was a burly woman, nearly six feet tall, with several pockmarks on her face, making her look quite frightening.
Upon seeing the handsome Liu Chengxi, the leader and the woman behind him both had their eyes gleaming, their lewd and vulgar expressions making no attempt to hide them.
"Hehe, I didn't expect him to be such a handsome man. We sisters are in luck today."
Liu Chengxi felt extremely uncomfortable under such gazes. In modern times, he had never encountered a woman like this before. After transmigrating here, the women of Shengjing at most looked down on men, but where could he find someone so despicable?
"What do you want? If you want money, I can give it to you, as long as you don't hurt anyone."
"You're unlucky to have met us today. As for whether or not we'll hurt anyone, that's not up to you."
The woman in the lead rubbed her hands together as she approached, her mouth practically watering.
"That's right, the boss is right! You handsome young men, once you've fallen into our hands, don't even think about getting away unscathed. We want your wealth, and we'll rob you of your beauty too."
"My lord, what should we do?" Liu Chengxi's personal attendant trembled with fear, but still bravely stood in front of him to protect him.
At this moment, Liu Chengxi was filled with regret. When he went out to do business before, his mother and sister did not approve of it and told him that a man like him should not show his face in public.
