The Supreme Martial Expert of the Female CEO Chapter 1824: 1821: Marrying In

Capítulo 1824: Chapter 1821: Marrying In

The auction on Purple Cloud Star was set to take place in five days. During this ti, Cheng Minxue took Ling Feng around the city. From unique delicacies to enchanting scenery, Ling Feng experienced the charm of Purple Cloud Star and felt a long-lost sense of peace.

However, what made Ling Feng uneasy was that the look in Cheng Minxue’s eyes seed a bit off, with a mix of intensity and a hint of shyness.

“Could she be falling for ?” This thought flashed in Ling Feng’s mind but was quickly dismissed. He felt that he and Cheng Minxue had known each other for too short a ti and hadn’t shared any special monts. How could she possibly like him?

“Brother Feng, the food here is renowned on the entire Purple Cloud Star. Let’s go and try it!” Cheng Minxue said with a smile, her eyes curving into crescents.

Ling Feng sighed with a wry smile: “Another renowned delicacy? How many of these have we tasted over the past few days? Let’s head back. I’d like to discuss the auction with the Head of the Cheng Family!”

“Let’s eat first. We can go back afterward. Besides, if you have any questions, you can ask !” Cheng Minxue said confidently. “I know no less about the auction than my father does!”

Just as Ling Feng was about to respond, a group of people appeared ahead, led by soone Ling Feng was familiar with—people from the Xin Family!

“Why are the Xin Family here on Purple Cloud Star? Could they be here for the auction too, or…?” A hint of doubt arose in Ling Feng’s mind.

Indeed, among the group, Ling Feng saw Xin Qi, and beside him was another familiar face, Zuo Yuqi from the Zuo Family!

“So that’s what it is!” Ling Feng seed to understand. Could Xin Qi be here because of the marriage between Xin Shuang and Zuo Yuqi?

“Brother Feng, let’s hurry inside!” With Ling Feng slightly dazed, Cheng Minxue pulled him into the store.

Xin Qi glanced over, furrowing his brow: “I think I saw a familiar silhouette!”

“Oh, that’s Cheng Minxue from the Cheng Family!” Zuo Yuqi said, eyeing Ling Feng beside Cheng Minxue with a hint of jealousy. Although he knew Xin Shuang’s beauty was not inferior to Cheng Minxue’s, seeing a beauty already claid stirred jealousy within him.

“And the man?” Xin Qi felt the back view of Ling Feng was sowhat familiar.

“That’s Cheng Minxue’s pretty boy, said to be Ling Feng!” Zuo Yuqi remarked indifferently.

Xin Qi nodded slightly, then addressed the middle-aged man beside him: “Brother Zuo, I’ve co mainly to discuss the marriage between Xin Shuang from my family and your esteed son!”

The middle-aged man nodded: “Alright, let’s talk over a al!”

Once inside, in a private booth, the Patriarch of the Zuo Family chuckled: “Brother Xin, what brings you here at this ti? I was just about to visit the Xin Family for a marriage proposal after the auction!”

Xin Qi looked slightly embarrassed: “Actually… there’s been a change concerning our marriage alliance!”

“What’s going on? Does the Xin Family intend to back out?” The Patriarch of the Zuo Family frowned. “Brother Xin, it was you who initially proposed the marriage alliance with our Zuo Family!”

“We are not backing out!” Xin Qi quickly said: “When I was the acting family head, I decided on the alliance with the Zuo Family to strengthen ties for mutual benefit. Now that my father has awakened, he has no major objection to my decision, but he does have one request!”

Upon hearing this, the expression of the Patriarch of the Zuo Family slowed: “What request does the Head of Xin Family have?”

“Um…” Xin Qi took a deep breath: “My father agreed to our families’ alliance, but he requests that Wise Nephew Zuo marries into our Xin Family…”

Before Xin Qi could finish, the Patriarch of the Zuo Family widened his eyes in disbelief: “What? Brother Xin, you must be joking! How can a mber of our Zuo Family marry into the Xin Family? This is absurd, Brother Xin. Are you here to deliberately insult the Zuo Family?”

Xin Qi quickly said: “Please, Brother Zuo, calm down. It’s not what you think! Actually… my father has already designated Xin Shuang as one of the successors of the family head!”

“Hiss!” The Patriarch of the Zuo Family couldn’t help but gasp: “Xin Shuang, a candidate for family head—how can that be? She’s a girl, how could she possibly beco the head of the Xin Family?”

Xin Qi sighed with a wry smile: “We didn’t believe it either, but it’s the truth. With my father’s support, what difference does it make that she’s a girl?”

The Patriarch of the Zuo Family fell silent. Initially, he felt insulted and angry, but after listening to Xin Qi, he beca tempted!

If Xin Shuang truly becos the head of the Xin Family, what harm is there in Zuo Yuqi marrying into their family? After all, Zuo Family’s heirs are not limited to Zuo Yuqi, and aligning with the Xin Family is certainly more beneficial than harmful!

Seeing his father fall silent, Zuo Yuqi panicked! He certainly didn’t want to marry into the Xin Family; he had always been a free spirit. If he were to marry into their family, there was no way he could live as freely as he did with the Zuo Family!

After all, a man marrying into another family is naturally at a disadvantage, his status even lower than a princess of a political marriage. Simply put, he would just be a breeding tool and a bridge for alliance!

Such a prospect Zuo Yuqi could not accept.

“I cannot accept this!” Seeing his father’s interest, Zuo Yuqi couldn’t hold back and stood up: “As a respectable man of the Zuo Family, marrying into another family is disgraceful…”

“Silence!” Before he could continue, his father, the Patriarch of the Zuo Family, cut him off: “I will consider this matter. Moreover, it concerns the Xin Family!”

A faint smile appeared on Xin Qi’s face, indicating that the Patriarch of the Zuo Family seed anable to the Xin Family’s request! It made sense though; becoming the husband of the Xin Family’s head could elevate the Zuo Family in more ways than one!

After all, the Xin Family is one of the Three Great Powers of the Ancient Ruins, whereas the Zuo Family is only one of the Five Great Families at the annual conference, lacking the strength or power to rival the Xin Family!

This was the reason for the Patriarch of the Zuo Family to contemplate this matter.

For him, the primary consideration is whether it benefits the Zuo Family! As for the heirs of the Zuo Family, apart from Zuo Yuqi, there are other direct lineage mbers. It wasn’t as if he had only one son!

Zuo Yuqi felt deeply frustrated. If he were married into their family, wouldn’t those young masters have a field day laughing at him? Over his dead body would he marry in!
