"Yes, that's my legendary fiancée, the one whose name I've only ever heard but whose face I've never seen."
Li Mochuan glanced at Pei Fengzhi with a knowing look, noticing a hint of mockery in Pei Fengzhi's eyes. He didn't seem to care, and simply continued to explain.
"For years, everyone has been searching for her, both domestically and internationally, practically scouring the entire world. Unfortunately, they still haven't found my fiancée's whereabouts."
This marriage was arranged by the elders of the Ye and Li families back then; it was considered a childhood betrothal.
At that time, Li Mochuan was still very young, about five or six years old.
He had actually held the little princess that the Ye family had finally gotten.
The soft, delicate little one was not even a month old when he held her in his arms. Her eyes were still closed, and she was unconsciously sucking on his fingers. She was so quiet and well-behaved in his arms. She was extremely beautiful when she was born, with fair and tender skin that made people happy.
As Li Mochuan spoke, he was also concerned about whether Pei Fengzhi in front of him was a patient. He lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and exhaled a string of smoke rings that rose above his head.
"However, I've recently heard some rumors and clues about her. It seems that after she was secretly replaced by the nanny, that nanny came to Jiangcheng. That's why I made this special trip to investigate this matter thoroughly."
Pei Fengzhi looked at Li Mochuan with a half-smile.
"So you're actually quite concerned about your fiancée, whom you haven't seen for over twenty years? You like her that much?"
Li Mochuan rolled his eyes at Pei Fengzhi and took another deep drag of his cigarette.
“Pei Fengzhi, what kind of beast am I in your heart? How could I be interested in a baby who is not even a month old? Besides, I was only five or six years old when my grandfather and the Ye family patriarch arranged our marriage!”
Although Li Mochuan admitted that he had a good impression of the soft, cuddly little princess of the Ye family who was like a little dumpling and never cried and ate a lot, at most he just thought the little sister was cute, nothing more!
Moreover, that child has been missing for over twenty years. Even if he were still alive, who knows how much suffering he would have endured or what he would look like now.
If she really becomes a rustic village woman, extremely vulgar, or has already married someone else, or has some intimate relationship with another man, would he still hold on to her?
Li Mochuan was never a chivalrous person; he was more of a profit-driven businessman who only cared about his own interests.
Sure enough, Pei Fengzhi was curious when she saw that Li Mochuan seemed to care nothing about the little princess of the Ye family.
"Then what are you doing traveling all the way from the capital to Jiangcheng? And risking your life to find this Miss Ye? It can't be just to find that person and then break off your engagement with her, can it?"
Pei Fengzhi chuckled as he said this, seemingly amused by his own unrealistic speculation.
But who knew that the next moment Li Mochuan would stare at Pei Fengzhi with an incredulous look and ask a question.
"You knew all this? Pei Fengzhi, I really wonder if you can read my mind!"
Pei Fengzhi also fell silent.
He swore he was just guessing.
He never expected that Li Mochuan would go to such great lengths to find the lost little princess of the Ye family, only to break off his engagement with her.
Then, as if he had thought of something, he glanced at Li Mochuan and snorted coldly in annoyance.
"That's a really disgusting description."
Li Mochuan didn't mind at all, he just chuckled.
"What disgusting things hasn't Ninth Master Pei heard? Why would he care about this!"
He tapped the cigarette lightly in mid-air, and the light gray ash drifted away.
Pei Fengzhi then looked at the cigarette between his fingers, reached out and snatched it from his hand, breaking the cigarette, which was less than half-burned, into pieces.
"You have some morals to smoke in front of a patient."
If it were anyone else who dared to snatch something from Li Mochuan, they would have been beaten to a pulp by now. Unfortunately, that person was Pei Fengzhi. Even though he was sitting in a wheelchair and looked so weak that he seemed like he could die if you poked him, Li Mochuan still didn't dare to underestimate him.
He shrugged with a smile, speaking half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"However, if you have any news, remember to let me know as soon as possible. I'm not getting any younger, and this marriage can't be delayed indefinitely. Otherwise, if the Ye family can't find their precious little princess for the rest of their lives, am I supposed to never get married?"
If this were any other family, Li Mochuan could find a way to resolve it, even if the other party were one of the four great families of the capital, just like the Li family.
But the night is different.
Decades ago on the battlefield, the old master of the Ye family truly saved the life of Grandpa Li Mochuan.
It can be said that if it weren't for the old master of the Ye family back then, there would be no Li family with such a prosperous lineage today, and there would be no Li Mochuan.
After that, the two old men supported each other like half-brothers, and their children followed suit.
The two families are not only old friends, but also have a long-standing bond of gratitude that has been passed down through generations. The intricacies of their relationship are too numerous to count.
Pei Fengzhi had vaguely heard about some things between the two families, but knew nothing about others. However, he was not the kind of person who was interested in other people's family affairs. But since Li Mochuan brought it up himself, he asked one more question.
