Chapter 11 - Matchmaking

An Hui's father and stepmother looked at each other. They were both pessimistic that the Zhuo family was still willing to continue the matchmaking after this incident.

Of course, An Hui had benefited from this incident. So, An Hui was sure that the Zhuo family would definitely not agree.

An Hui glanced at the silent and confused Zhuo family. An Hui was happy that his refusal was made easy by her own family.

To be honest if An Hui got married, then she would be liberated from this bastard family. However, if it was related to marriage, then An Hui would prefer not to accept it.

'Good! Come on, reject this matchmaking! I've helped you, the rest is your turn!' An Hui thought then smiled.

An Hui kept an eye on the Zhuo family especially Zhuo Ming. An Hui looked at Zhuo Ming who was also smiling.

An Hui assumed that Zhuo Ming was pleased with An Hui's help so that Zhuo Ming would not have to struggle alone.

"Sorry if I interrupt. However, I cannot continue this matchmaking," said Zhuo Ming.

An Hui was very satisfied with Zhuo Ming's statement. She could see the disappointment in her stepmother and father's eyes.

As for Zhuo Ming's parents, they still looked indecisive. However, An Hui didn't care because she was clearly happy that the match was cancelled.

If this marriage happens, then it will be an auspicious marriage. Due to the status of the Zhuo family who is the minister of finance and the An Hui family whose father is a Prime Minister.

"But if allowed, I would like to approach Princess An Hui," continued Zhuo Ming, who apparently had not finished speaking.

"What?!" An Hui was immediately taken aback by Zhuo Ming's statement.

However, unlike An Hui, both of their parents seemed happy after hearing what Zhuo Ming had to say.

"Of course we allow! We would be happy if you two can get along in the near future," replied An Hui's father.

Zhuo Ming looked directly at An Hui and smiled. An Hui no longer understood what the man was going to do.

"In that case, I'll take Princess An Hui over for a chat! We'll excuse ourselves!" Zhuo Ming bowed respectfully.

Then Zhuo Ming immediately grabbed An Hui's hand and led her away. An Hui was speechless by what Zhuo Ming was doing.

After they were far from the room earlier, An Hui stopped in her tracks and threw Zhuo Ming's hand away.

Zhuo Ming also stopped and turned around. He also asked An Hui, "What's wrong?"

"I should be the one asking like that! Why didn't you refuse the match?" asked An Hui who was very annoyed.

"Didn't I reject it?" Zhuo Ming spoke with such an innocent facial expression.

An Hui couldn't bear to hit him. Indeed, Zhuo Ming had already rejected it. But Zhuo Ming shouldn't have said that he wanted to get close to An Hui.

"Then why after rejecting it you said you wanted to approach me?" An Hui interrogated like intelligence.

"Hmm, I dunno. I just feel that you are a different person from the others! I don't know why I'm so curious about you!" answer Zhuo Ming.

An Hui felt that Zhuo Ming had not lied to her. Even though Zhou Ming didn't hurt her by getting close to him, An Hui didn't want to waste her time.

She still had a lot of other things to do. So An Hui intended to put an end to this pointless approach.

"Sorry for being rude. But I really can't accept you. I also have no plans to get married anytime soon! If you want to marry someone, it's better with someone else, not with me," An Hui said at length explaining to Zhuo Ming.

An Hui said goodbye to Zhuo Ming and was about to leave Zhuo Ming. But again Zhuo Ming grabbed An Hui's hand, interrupting her steps.

"What more do you want? Is what I said still unclear?!" snapped An Hui who was getting emotional.

"Do you hate me that much? Why don't you want to be close to me so much?" Zhuo Ming was really curious about An Hui's reasoning.

An Hui certainly wouldn't say the whole reason including her wanting revenge by joining an assassin organization.

But in retrospect, An Hui thought he could extract information from Zhuo Ming. Considering Zhuo Ming was the son of a prominent family.

'I must be able to restrain myself! I'll try to extract information from him!' thought An Hui who changed her mind.

An Hui took a deep breath then exhaled. After that An Hui flashed a smile and became a little friendly towards Zhuo Ming.

"Okay, I'm sorry if it's too harsh. Then how about we start with a friendship?" asked An Hui.

"I don't think that's a bad idea! I'm ready!" replied the excited Zhuo Ming.

Since they had reached an agreement, An Hui jumped into action. An Hui took Zhuo Ming for a walk outside the palace while slowly digging for information.

Even though today An Hui wanted to train her physical condition. But it looks like she'll have to put it off again.

An Hui and Zhuo Ming started the chat with pleasantries. What a useless chat and a waste of time. But An Hui still had to be patient.

"Princess, I think you are different from the rumors circulating! You don't look like what they say," said Zhuo Ming.

An Hui already knew about the rumors that were actually aimed at the owner of the original body.

However, now that the body belonged to An Hui, then An Hui would not allow such rumors to tarnish her reputation.

"That's called don't judge a book by its cover alone. And also don't judge people by their words, but by the real people!" An Hui replied tactfully.

Zhuo Ming started to have an interest in An Hui after this chat. He became even more curious about An Hui's figure.

'While An Hui was enjoying her trip, suddenly something happened.
