"Our Mr. Xu is the most handsome."
These words pleased Xu Tingchuan, and his expression softened.
Seeing his jealousy, Ni Sitian secretly rejoiced. After a while, she smiled and said, "I don't think I've told you yet, but the reason I agreed to marry you was because you're beautiful. I felt like I wouldn't lose out no matter what."
Even Xu Tingchuan couldn't help but feel delighted to be praised so frankly for his appearance by his wife.
Seeing his relaxed brow and happy expression, Ni Sitian became happy as well, praising him even more readily: "And your height and figure are perfect, exactly my type."
She wasn't lying when she said that, because she genuinely had thought that way at the time.
When they first met in that coffee shop, she looked up and was immediately struck by his stunning beauty—truly breathtaking.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been stunned, only realizing he was on a blind date after listening to his long self-introduction.
When she called back to agree to marry him, besides a momentary impulse, she also had a very superficial idea: a man who was so good-looking couldn't be a conman. She had neither money nor beauty, so he couldn't deceive her about anything.
Xu Tingchuan was quite satisfied with Ni Sitian's current performance, and smiled, "You have good taste."
“That’s right, I’m the best judge of character.” Ni Sitian said with a hint of pride, and then indirectly praised him: “Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been able to pick the best man in the world.”
"Yes, you do have a good eye." Xu Tingchuan nodded in agreement.
Ni Sitian chuckled. Wasn't their mutual praise a bit too cheesy?
After suppressing her smile, she got back to the point, "You haven't finished telling me what you think of Feng Jingxian yet."
Ni Sitian felt that Xu Tingchuan, having dominated the business world for so many years, must have a better eye for people than she did, so she cared a lot about his opinion.
“Having only met him once, you can’t tell much from him, but basically there’s nothing wrong with him.” Xu Tingchuan paused for a moment, then added, “However, he’s a very shrewd and worldly person.”
Upon hearing Xu Tingchuan's assessment, Ni Sitian pondered for a moment. Being worldly-wise could be a compliment or an insult. "You mean he's slick? But being slick isn't necessarily a bad thing. After navigating the complexities of society for a long time, you'll inevitably become slick."
"If that's all there is to it, it's not necessarily a bad thing," Xu Tingchuan said calmly. He didn't have any particular feelings towards Feng Jingxian; he neither disliked nor liked him. He had seen many shrewd and worldly people like Feng Jingxian in the business world. He wasn't necessarily a bad person, nor was he necessarily a good person.
“It seems you don’t think highly of him.” Ni Sitian rested her chin on her hand and couldn’t help but say, “I think he’s very good, mainly because he has a good personality and can take care of Zhilan.”
Xu Tingchuan nodded and said calmly, "The important thing is that Xiang Zhilan likes him very much, and that's enough."
It's not easy to meet someone you fall in love with in this world, otherwise he wouldn't have been in his thirties without experiencing love until he married Ni Sitian and gradually came to understand love through their interactions.
“That’s true. Zhi Lan has always preferred sweet food and doesn’t eat spicy food. I think the dishes she ordered today are Feng Jingxian’s taste. It’s not easy to find someone who loves you back.” Ni Sitian has been quite aware of this lately. She looked at Xu Tingchuan with a smile, her eyes revealing her love.
