Chapter 1521: Where’s the Romantic Proposal?

Shen Qianshu felt that it was an illusion, and it seemed as if Mr. Yuan had known her before. However, she did not know where that sense of familiarity came from. “Do we know each other?”

Mr. Yuan smiled slightly. “Actually, we are quite fated.”

“Why?”

“I was born in City A too. My father was extremely good friends with yours. When I was young, I visited Ghost City regularly. I’m six years older than you. When you were born, I had already started maturing. Uncle even joked that after you grow older, he’d have us be engaged, so can I be considered to be your fiancé?”

“...” Shen Qianshu was speechless.

An unexpected fiancé.

Did her parents arrange a child marriage for her?

And did they even ask her, who was still in her mother’s womb?

Mr. Yuan laughed loudly, having been tickled by Shen Qianshu’s reaction. “Don’t worry, I don’t have malicious intentions for you, nor do I call myself your fiancé. The marriage arranged by our parents doesn’t count anymore. I heard that Ghost City’s little princess had returned, so I remembered this old story. Although we had a child engagement when we were young, things took a bad turn afterward. My family immigrated, and my family died from an accident. I gradually lost contact with this country. However, I kept in contact with your Big Brother. After he passed away, I knew nothing about news within the country, until I heard that you have returned. Congratulations, little sister.”

“You are my Big Brother’s friend?

“Right.”

Mr. Yuan said softly. “Your father and my father are sworn brothers. They have a good relationship. Your brother was of a similar age to me as well, and our tempers are well-matched, so we hit it off quite well. He got me some businesses from Ghost City as well. Afterward, he died, and everyone said that it was done by Gu Yuanli. I’m not very sure about the feuds in Ghost City. Although Uncle had been concerned about Aunt’s matters, he was not a foolish man. I am in no position to interfere with the issues in Ghost City either, so I won’t comment further about this. But with regards to Lu Mengxi...”

Mr. Yuan paused and was slightly unhappy. “Lu Mengxi is considered to be my right hand. She had helped me expand the Asian market greatly. Hence, can I seek a favor from little sister? If she stops persisting, please be the bigger person and forgive her. If she still inconveniences you, you don’t have to take action. I’ll clean it up for you.”

He had finally explained the purpose of coming here. Shen Qianshu’s heart trembled slightly. No wonder he looked so familiar. Gu Chun seemed to have mentioned this before, but not in detail.

Child engagements were simply too embarrassing.

Her mother engaged her to Ye Ling, and her father engaged her to Mr. Yuan. If Ye Ling knew about it, he would probably explode. Luckily, she did not bring Ye Ling along.

She was still in her mother’s stomach and did not even know the other person’s appearance or character. How could she even have an arranged child marriage?

This was simply too... complicated.

“I have given Lu Mengxi a chance. I’m not someone who would kill innocent people, nor am I a heartless person. Since you have come to plead on her behalf, of course, I will give you face. As long as she disappears from my world, stops hiring assassins, using others to kill me, or harming me and my family, I won’t do anything to her.”

“Ok, I’ll promise you that if she commits any mistakes, I will kill her,” said Mr. Yuan with a smile. “It’s my fault that my men are not obedient, causing little sister to be frightened multiple times.”
