Looking at her daughter sitting in front of her, Bu Huoran smiled and asked, "So, Tingyue, didn't I tell you before? I said that Chairman Yuchi is quite a decent person. Now that you've met him, you must feel the same, right? He gives off such a calm presence, so since fate has brought you two together from afar, why don't you put down your books for now and take a walk with him around Cuncha City?"

"Don't rush to answer me. I'm telling you the truth. If I weren't such a faithful woman, I might have had a subtle connection with him long ago, not to mention if he and your dad had appeared in front of me at the same time, I definitely wouldn't have chosen your dad and would have chosen him instead."

"So, as someone who's been through this, I really think Yuchi is a very reliable man. I believe you can understand what I mean. You're not a little girl anymore; you're at the age to get married. If you end up with Yuchi, setting aside the prestigious title of Chairman's wife, your future happiness will surely be secured."

"Your sister lives in someone else's sect, and you could be the wife in the business association of the sect's little uncle. Meanwhile, I'll certainly prepare a lot of dowry for you to ensure you live confidently in his family. This would be an outcome many young girls would envy. It's a truly excellent outcome; don't wait until it's too late to regret."

Bu Huoran spoke with good intentions, while Bu Tingyue was utterly dumbfounded.

Oh my god.

I've only just met this Chairman Yuchi, and we've only exchanged a couple of words. Although Yuchi seemed like he'd met me before, I certainly haven't met him, so isn't it a bit too early to discuss this kind of thing?

It's not that I look down on him, nor do I have no interest at all, but feelings are something that develop over time. If there's no spark between two people of the same age, then there's just no fate, and there's no need to force it.

Why is my mom so eager to push me out... While I might not be extremely beautiful, if I express the desire to marry, I shouldn't have trouble finding someone... And to think my mom considers Yuchi worthy.

Yuchi is just a guy from a small town. Even though I don't mean to look down on people from small towns, it's surprising that my mom can get over that hurdle and even wants to prepare plenty of dowry for me...

What's with this?

Is she in such a hurry to have grandchildren? Bu Tingyue couldn't help but laugh and cry, "Mom, don't take this matter to heart, especially when Yuchi doesn't seem to have this intention either. Why should I actively pursue it? Do girls typically chase after boys?"

Would any girl chase after Yuchi? That's a good question... The entire Ascension Gate shows up!!!!

Bu Huoran didn't care about Bu Tingyue's thoughts. She directly said:

"Okay, okay, stop avoiding the issue. Just go find Yuchi right now, and you two can create a little story in the city. It's just a little story. If you really don't like him, I won't force you, but you'll know once you meet him."

"Xufu Town's nickname as the King's Town is not for nothing!"

Bu Tingyue could only smile wryly. She knew what it meant to create a little story—it's like reading some story scrolls where the main plot doesn't advance, guys and girls go off to have romances, and all the book fans are grumbling about how the author is just dragging things out.

But since that's the case, there shouldn't be any problems, right? I'll just go find Yuchi, as my mom said. After all, it's just about creating a little story; nothing significant is likely to happen. I'm still the ever-calm Bu Tingyue.

I'm Bu Tingyue, joking aside, my name suggests calmness, unlike my sister Bu Luohua. Her name implies either a pitiable woman or a carefree clown, and Bu Luohua is definitely the latter.

"Alright then, Mom. I'll go take him for a spin around Cuncha City, but let's be clear, I can't be sure he'll want to go with me."

At this point, Bu Tingyue felt a little nervous, as she'd never invited any boy to go out with her before. This was a first. If she asked and he laughed and refused, wouldn't she be left looking silly?

Silly? I think it's more like being a fool for you, Bu Huoran pressed Bu Tingyue in front of the bronze mirror, to the dressing table, and began to tidy up Bu Tingyue's appearance: "Don't worry. Yuchi is still a very sensible young man. Even if he's not interested in you, he'd still go out with you out of respect for me, your mom. Don't you know Cuncha City has some fun places?"

"When the time comes, just take him there. Even if others feel aggrieved, they would never show it, which is just part of a young man's maturity, you know?"

Bu Tingyue: "..."

First of all, Mom, I'm not dead yet, so why are you tidying me up? Also, don't misplace my lenses; I can't see well with one of my eyes, and... why does it feel like you've been through a love-stealing moment? Are you sure you're so virtuous?!

Finally...

What do you mean by him feeling aggrieved but still accompanying me? I'm aggrieved too!!!
