Xiao An Ni chuckled, "I'm afraid someone will misunderstand. Shouldn't you be visiting my sister? Since that day, you never visited her. I'm confused here, who exactly will be your future wife, Brother Qian Cheng," Xiao An Ni replied, chuckling with one hand covering her mouth, looking shy.
Hearing that, Qian Cheng rubbed his head which didn't itch. "How is your cultivation progressing? Did everything go well?"
"Hihi, I just broke through to the low-level Spirit Master, big brother," Xiao An Ni replied proudly.
"Low-level spirit Master? That fast? It turns out that you are a very talented beautiful girl, Miss An Ni. In all the kingdoms and sects that exist in the Neverlay empire, there may not be anyone like you. If there are, maybe there are only a few and can be counted on the fingers," said Qian Cheng praising the girl.
"What a lucky man to have you later, Miss," he added.
"Hmm, if only you were my future wife, I would be a very lucky man in this world," said Qian Cheng again.
Hearing that, Xiao An Na chuckled, looking bashful. "Don't say that again, Brother. What if someone hears you? I can't be responsible if my older sister is hurt," she said in a soft voice.
"I don't care," Qian Cheng sighed deeply.
"After all, who is a happy man to be her partner? She had nothing to be proud of. Not like you, Miss An Ni. Everything looks so perfect," he added again.
"Don't overdo it, Brother."
"I am telling the truth, Miss An Ni," said Qian Cheng frankly.
"I don't like this matchmaking, I don't have any feelings for her. This torments me every night, thinking about living with Xiao An Na later, my head hurts." How can he live with someone who has no abilities at all? This is very embarrassing for him. He didn't know what people think if this marriage happens. He and Xiao An Na were like earth and sky. He has everything and married a scum girl? Huh, no kidding.
In the Neverlay empire, the normal limit for a girl to marry was at the age of fifteen, while for a man it was eighteen. Not only in the Neverlay empire, but almost all over the world implement it. So, getting married at a young age is considered normal.
Hearing the words of the handsome man in front of her, Xiao An Ni's eyes flashed, revealing a very sweet smile. "Do you love someone else, Brother?" she asked quietly and unhurriedly, trying to look casual.
"Yes, I do. Hmm… What if I say that person is you, Miss Xiao An Ni?"
"Brother Qian Cheng, what are you saying?" Xiao An Ni was surprised, even though she had expected this, and she was very happy to hear it directly from Qian Cheng's mouth.
"I'm telling the truth, An Ni. I love you," Qian Cheng replied, mentioning the girl's name directly.
If it could be seen, perhaps Xiao An Ni's heart was already jumping for joy. Even so, she still maintained her calm demeanor.
She then looked left and right, looking at her surroundings.
"What is it? Don't you feel the same way I do?"
Xiao An Ni blushed, in a shy voice she answered the question, "To be honest, I also feel the same way as you, Big Brother. But, I feel, I have no rights. You're already betrothed to my older sister, I can't do anything about my feelings."
"Is that true? You also feel the same way as me?" Qian Cheng wanted to confirm more clearly.
Xiao An Ni nodded slowly, her eyes lowered and just fiddling with her fingernails. Looks so innocent.
"Never mind, you better go, Brother. I don't deserve to say things like this to my sister's future husband," Xiao An Ni said. She stood up from her position and seemed to want to get out of there.
"Wait," Qian Cheng held her wrist.
"L-let go of my hand, Brother." Xiao An Ni tried to struggle.
"Then have a seat," Qian Cheng replied, his heart beating fast, how could Xiao An Ni want to leave him immediately after saying such a sentence?
Xiao An Ni nodded slowly, she sat back down in her original position. Got what she wanted, her heart was cheering with joy now.
"How about we visit Xiao An Na and tell the truth. I'm sure she will understand and cancel my match with her," said Qian Cheng.
"What are you saying? I don't want my older sister to feel hurt because of this. I…"
"You are a very good girl, Xiao An Ni," said Qian Cheng interrupting Xiao An Ni. To protect her older sister's feelings, Xiao An Ni is willing to sacrifice her feelings. She was touched by her character.
