Chapter 90

"Unengaged husband?"

As Nan Gong Mu's words faded, Chen Dasheng and Nan Gong Zixuan both exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

Nan Gong Zixuan's exclamation was one of disbelief, while Chen Dasheng's was more of bewilderment, as if he had heard that aliens were attacking Earth.

Who the hell can tell me what's going on? Chen Dasheng was completely flustered, his mouth wide open, big enough to fit a few eggs. When did he suddenly have a fiancée?

"Alright, alright, Uncle, don't blame Zixuan. They say that only enemies meet. Let's go inside and talk about it slowly!"

Under Nan Gong Mu's stern gaze, Nan Gong Zixuan was somewhat hesitant to speak. Chen Xiaoli quickly supported Nan Gong Zixuan, smoothed things over, and nudged Chen Dasheng. The four of them then entered the house.

After dinner.

In Chen Xiaoli's room, the Chen siblings were alone.

"Big Sister, when did I get a fiancée?" Chen Dasheng's face looked like a withered bitter gourd as he sat by the table, looking up at Chen Xiaoli with confusion.

Chen Xiaoli smiled, "Didn't I promise you something good before? Don't you remember?"

Hearing this, Chen Dasheng slapped his forehead, "This is the good thing you were talking about?"

Chen Dasheng had been somewhat looking forward to the good thing Chen Xiaoli had promised him. He had thought of many possibilities, but he never imagined that Chen Xiaoli would bring him a fiancée. Although the fiancée was very beautiful, their first meeting was very unpleasant, and he still couldn't accept it.

"When did I get a fiancée? Why have I never heard of her?"

Chen Dasheng turned to look at Chen Xiaoli. He had grown up with Chen Xiaoli, and he had never heard of any relatives. Now, not only did a surprisingly powerful uncle appear, but he also brought a fiancée. Chen Dasheng couldn't accept it all at once.

Chen Xiaoli, however, laughed dismissively, "You and Zixuan have been childhood sweethearts, growing up together, but you've never met each other."

"Are you kidding me, Big Sister? How can we be childhood sweethearts if we've never met?" Chen Dasheng rolled his eyes. If the person in front of him wasn't his sister, he would have spat in her face.

"What, you seem pretty unwilling, huh?" Chen Xiaoli glared at him.

Chen Dasheng's mouth twitched, and he asked in confusion, "Big Sister, when did we get an uncle? Who is that old man, and what's his background?"

"That old man? Show respect to Uncle. After you and Zixuan get married, you'll have to call him Grandpa!" Chen Xiaoli playfully tapped Chen Dasheng's forehead and then sat down next to him, explaining, "Uncle is the head of the Nan Gong family, one of the four remaining innate martial masters in China. Zixuan is his youngest granddaughter. I had to work hard to arrange this marriage for you!"

"Uh!" Chen Dasheng was stunned, his eyes flashing with shock, "Such a big deal?"

The first family in China, it sounded very impressive. It turned out that the old man was an innate martial master, which explained why he could easily suppress Chen Dasheng with just half his strength.

Seeing Chen Dasheng's surprised expression, Chen Xiaoli was very satisfied. She patted Chen Dasheng's shoulder and laughed, "Don't worry, brat. The wife I picked for you is the best in the world."

"Bullshit!"

Chen Dasheng rolled his eyes. The girl was indeed beautiful, and Chen Dasheng could tell she had a good heart, but for some reason, thinking about what happened earlier made him feel a strange anger.

Chen Xiaoli gave Chen Dasheng a light tap on the head, "I'm telling you, Zixuan's beauty is well-known in Beijing, and she has a strong background. There are many men who want to pursue her. She's more than enough for you. This is a great match for us. Marrying such a beautiful wife would make you smile in your dreams."

"Whatever, what does it have to do with me?" Chen Dasheng felt helpless and looked at Chen Xiaoli in confusion, "Big Sister, you make her sound so good, but why would she like me?"

I'm just a village boy, and she is the pampered daughter of the first family in China, someone I can only look up to. Even with an extraordinary sister, how can I compare to her?

Fairy tales are the only place where a princess would fall for a frog. Chen Dasheng didn't think he was handsome or excellent enough to attract the attention of the first family in China. Moreover, from their first meeting, Chen Dasheng could feel that Nan Gong Zixuan didn't have a good impression of him.

Chen Xiaoli smiled, "Uncle and Third Uncle are old friends, and they have a good relationship. When I went to ask for the marriage, Uncle naturally agreed, and everything went smoothly."

Hearing this, Chen Dasheng muttered, feeling speechless, "Big Sister, what era are we in? Why are we still doing this? How can I accept a fiancée you suddenly give me?"

"What? Do you think Zixuan is not good enough for you?" Chen Xiaoli glared at him.

Chen Dasheng replied helplessly, "No, it's just that I don't want my marriage to be decided by others. We just met, and we don't know each other. I want to have a passionate romance!"

"Bullshit! Didn't you have a relationship before? It lasted five years, wasn't that passionate enough? I didn't interfere then, so what happened?" Chen Xiaoli spat at Chen Dasheng, "If there's no feeling, it can be cultivated over time. Zixuan is a good girl. The more you get to know her, the more you'll like her. Trust me, I'm your sister, and I won't harm you."

Chen Dasheng looked miserable, "Big Sister, you saw how she reacted when she saw me. She looked like she saw an enemy. Do you think we can get along? Even if we force it, we'll probably fight every day!"

"It was just a misunderstanding. Now that it's cleared up, everything will be fine!" Chen Xiaoli also looked helpless. When she arranged this marriage, she had imagined Chen Dasheng jumping with joy when he met Nan Gong Zixuan. But she never expected that such a beautiful girl would be pushed away by Chen Dasheng. She didn't know what to say.

Nan Gong Zixuan was indeed very beautiful, the kind of beauty that could make someone fall in love at first sight. Once seen, it was hard to forget. Her every smile and frown left a deep impression. However, their first meeting left a bad impression on both of them. Forcing them together would be difficult, and Chen Dasheng was also against the idea of his marriage being decided by others.

After a moment of silence, Chen Dasheng looked up at Chen Xiaoli, "Big Sister, I actually have a girlfriend!"

"Huh?" Chen Xiaoli's eyes widened in surprise, and she stood up, "You and Li Lan got back together? No way, absolutely not! Our Chen family can't have a daughter-in-law like that!"

Chen Xiaoli's reaction was so intense that it scared Chen Dasheng. After a moment, he shook his head, "Not Li Lan, someone else."

"What?" Chen Xiaoli's voice rose an octave. How could Chen Dasheng find a new girlfriend so quickly? "Who is it? Is it the girl you share an apartment with?"

Chen Xiaoli's voice was very stern, and her face was dark. Chen Dasheng swallowed hard, instinctively feeling something was wrong. He didn't have a girlfriend; he just wanted to use this as an excuse to avoid the marriage.

Chen Dasheng had initially thought of using Liu Yunshi as a shield, but seeing Chen Xiaoli's expression, he was afraid that if he admitted it, Chen Xiaoli would go after Liu Yunshi, causing her unnecessary trouble. After some thought, Chen Dasheng's eyes lit up, and he shook his head, "Does Big Sister know her?"

"Do I know her?" Chen Xiaoli's dark expression turned to confusion. She thought for a moment and said, "Is it the girl who came to the shop before, Han Ruoxue?"
