Chapter 690 - Yanran Falling in Love with Him (2/2)

Yan Zicheng’s anger and depression disappeared immediately. He did not need to care about Qin Haodong who would be a nobody if his aunt became the first saint in the capital.

In the Wei family, an elegant girl was standing in front of Wei Junce, master of the Wei family. She still acted like a lady although she was in a towering rage right now.

This was Wei Yanran, granddaughter of Wei Junce. It was said that her beautiful smile could overturn a nation.

“Grandpa, how can you do this? I haven’t even met this guy called Qin Haodong before. How can you propose marriage without my permission?”

Wei Junce explained, “Yanran, you have not met each other yet, but I’ve seen him myself. He’s a promising young man and has reached the ninth-level of the supreme power realm in his twenties.”

“I have never seen such an outstanding young man in the past 70 years. Is he not worthy of you?”

“But I don’t like him!” Wei Yanran said, “Grandpa, you have long known that I like talented people, not those who only care about fighting and martial arts. I won’t marry him even he’s a saint, not to mention that he’s just a ninth-level grand master now!”

“Nonsense!”

Wei Junce’s face clouded. Although Wei Yanran was his favorite kid, he would not allow her to refuse the proposal, because the marriage could determine the destiny of the entire Wei family.

“As a member of an aristocratic family, you can’t determine your marriage all by yourself. It must be decided by your family!”

Wei Junce softened his tone as if he realized that he had been too strict with his granddaughter, “Yanran, I know that you like those who’re good at painting and calligraphy now. But what can they do?”

“Only those great masters can decide their destinies and determine the prosperity of an aristocratic family. Believe me, the husband I chose for you is the best.”

“Grandpa, I won’t agree with the marriage anyway.”

Wei Yanran left angrily after saying that, but Wei Junce did not take what she had said seriously. As a member of a big aristocratic family, the younger generation could not decide on their marriage by themselves. They had to take the family’s interest as the top priority.

Wei Yanran’s opinion did not matter at all and what he worried about was that Qin Haodong would not give him his explicit consent. They would immediately send her over once Qin Haodong agreed.

Wei Yanran left the Wei family in a fit of anger and drove to a tea house.

The tea house, which was decorated in an ancient way from inside to outside, looked antique and elegant. However, the plaque at the door had the words, “Jing Dong”, which looked a little vulgar.

Wei Yanran was a frequent visitor here. She went straight to the back hall without being stopped. An elegant girl dressed in a period costume was sitting at the table, enjoying tea and reading a book.

The girl put down her book at the sight of Wei Yanran, who looked angry and depressed and asked, “Yanran, what happened? Why are you so angry?”

Wei Yanran sat opposite the girl angrily and poured herself a cup of tea. “How can I be happy? Grandpa arranged a marriage for me.”

The girl in the period costume gave her a warm smile, “It’s a good thing to get engaged. We women have to get married eventually. Why are you so unhappy about it?”

“I will accept it if it’s just an ordinary marriage alliance. After all, this is the fate of girls from big families.” Wei Yanran said angrily, “But it’s ridiculous. The man already has several girlfriends and I have to be the concubine if I marry him.”

“The most annoying thing is that he didn’t agree immediately and said that he had to think about it first. I’ve never met such a shameless man in my life!”

The girl in the period costume was also surprised after hearing her story, “I can’t believe it. Doesn’t he know that you are one of the three beauties in the capital? It’s a blessing to get you as his wife, so why is he so hesitant?”

Wei Yanran said, “That’s not all. Zhao Qingwu from the Zhao family and Han Jieyu from the Han family also want to marry him.

“You know what I want. I just want to find my Mr. Right who is proficient in calligraphy and painting. I did not realize this before I had to fight with other girls for a husband.”

Speaking of this, she said angrily, “Why did you come back from Jiangnan? I can run away from home to stay with you if you were there.”

The girl in the period costume said, “I have no choice. Jiangnan is a good place. It’s not as prosperous as the capital, but it’s rich in human resources and is full of talents.”

“I won’t not have left Jiangnan and come back here if my grandpa wasn’t ill.”

Wei Yanran drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, as if she had made a decision. She said, “I have decided that I can’t stay here and wait. I have to go to Jiangnan to find him.”

The girl in the period costume was shocked. She did not expect that Wei Yanran, who had always been elegant, would make such a resolute decision. She asked, “Will this work? You haven’t even seen him before.”

“So what? Ever since I saw his painting, I’ve decided to marry him.”

Then she stood up and walked slowly to the wall. There was an exquisite painting hanging on the wall. It was an ink painting with rocks and plum blossoms on it. The painting looked simple but had a profound artistic conception.

If Qin Haodong saw it, he would be very surprised. This painting was the one he drew with a little teddy in the Japanese-Huaxia Exchange Conference. He didn’t take it away with him. But it appeared on the wall of a Tea House in the capital.

Wei Yanran fixed her eyes on the painting and murmured, “Mingrui, you are not lying to me, are you? Is that Medical Sage really so magical that his calligraphy and painting skills have reached an unfathomable level?”

The girl in the period costume was Hua Mingrui, the Tea Fairy. She was Wei Yanran’s best friend.

She brought this painting from Jiangnan. Wei Yanran loved painting and calligraphy since she was a child. When she saw this painting of plum blossoms, she was fascinated by it and forced Hua Mingrui to tell her its story.

Wei Yanran has fallen in love with the Medical Sage, who was good at calligraphy and painting, even if they had never even met each other before.
