Chapter 666 - The Engagement Ceremony (2/2)

He was now stronger than the younger generation in the Capital. If he could get Qi Waner’s help, his prospects would be beyond measure.

He originally proposed to the Qi family after hearing what Yuan Tianren said, but when he saw Qi Waner’s appearance, he was stunned. After the engagement was settled by the two families, he was excited and ecstatic.

If a man wanted to succeed, the woman standing behind him was very important. Therefore, a woman who could bring luck to her husband was rare and attractive. There were countless people who came to the Qi family to propose marriage, but only Zhao Hongkun succeeded.

He felt even more proud of himself now and an old Taoist came in from outside. He was Yuan Tianren, the most famous master in capital.

He was about 60 or 70 years old. He had long hair and a white beard. This old man was wearing a cyan Taoist robe and holding a horsetail whisk in his hand. He looked like an immortal and had a detached air about him.

Yuan Tianren was popular in the capital and no matter where he was, he would immediately be surrounded by people. Many people even stood up to greet him.

Zhao Hongkun immediately went up to him and said, “Master Yuan, we’re happy to see you here. I’d like to thank you for your advice.”

Yuan Tianren stroked his beard and said in an imposing manner, “You deserve this. This is your fortune to marry such a girl, who is such a rarity for the past thousand years.”

Zhao Hongkun said respectfully, “Master, I still have to thank you for your guidance. I will never forget your great kindness. When you’re free, please let me express my gratitude alone.”

“You’re worth teaching. Your prospects are beyond measure.”

Yuan Tianren nodded in satisfaction and walked inside after speaking.

Zhao Hongkun turned around and saw Qi Waner who had finished her makeup, walking slowly into the hall.

She was wearing a bright red cheongsam, which enhanced her beautiful figure. Her long hair was coiled up high to reveal her white neck and shoulders. She was just like a peacock and the entire hall was lit up by her beauty.

Since Zhao Hongkun met Qi Waner the first time, he felt amazed every time he saw her again. He smiled, cheered up and walked toward his future wife.

“Wan’er, you’re so beautiful today.”

Zhao Hongkun walked to Qi Waner and was about to hold her hand.

After today’s engagement, they would become a couple-to-be. In the views of such aristocratic families, the engagement ceremony was much more effective than the marriage certificate.

Qi Waner would be his wife after today’s ceremony.

But Qi Waner obviously did not think so. She took a small step back and Zhao Hongkun caught nothing.

She said coldly, “Don’t touch me.”

Zhao Hongkun smiled and said, “Wan’er, we are going to be family soon, why are you so shy?”

Qi Waner said, “Zhao Hongkun, I’m not willing to go through with the engagement ceremony and I already have someone I like. Even if you can get me as your wife, I’ll never fall in love with you.”

After a pause, she continued, “Besides, you may not even get me as your wife.” Zhao Hongkun was stunned.

Zhao Hongkun calmed down and was not too bothered about Qi Waner’s refusal. He smiled and said, “Waner, I know that you’re quite angry with me and I can understand that. But I believe that I will definitely let you see my merits and make you fall in love with me once we get married.”

Qi Waner shook her head and said mercilessly, “It’s useless. No matter how hard you try, you are no match for him.”

Zhao Hongkun said proudly, “Wan’er, I don’t know who he is, but he just met you a few days earlier than me. I don’t think he can be compared with me in terms of talent and capability.”

Qi Waner sneered and said, “What are you talking about? He is ten thousand times stronger than you in every aspect.”

Zhao Hongkun smiled indifferently. He did not take Qi Waner’s words seriously at all. He believed that as the direct descendant of the Zhao Family, he was the most outstanding young man in the capital. There was no one who could be better than him.

“Wan’er, today is our engagement day and I don’t want to argue with you. Please believe me, I will definitely touch your heart.”

“That’s impossible. He’s the only person that I love.”

Qi Waner turned around and was about to leave. But suddenly, she thought of something else and turned around and said, “By the way, I forgot to tell you that I’m already his woman.”

Zhao Hongkun did not care about what she had said before, but he could not accept this fact. He was an extremely arrogant man and it was a great humiliation for him if his fiancée had already had sex with someone else!

He clenched his fists tightly and the blue veins on his forehead emerged.

Qi Waner saw his expression clearly and a smile appeared on her face. If he wanted to take her as his wife, she would definitely make him unhappy!
