"Ninth Young Mistress, your kindness to our An Family is as deep as the ocean. We can't just let you go like this. I've already prepared a banquet for tonight. Firstly, it's to thank you for curing our son's leg disease. Secondly, it's to congratulate him for finally being able to stand up. So, please don't leave until tonight," said the Patriarch of the An Family.
Schilling's Shadow frowned, but it seemed like he couldn't refuse. In the end, he reluctantly stayed.
Yin Wu's list contained a few herbs that the An Family had never seen before, so he needed Yin Wu to draw them out.
This would take a bit of time.
The banquet was simple yet grand. The dancers danced gracefully, and the music was pleasant to the ears. The banquet was bustling with noise and excitement.
From time to time, people would come over to compliment Schilling's Shadow, saying that he was quite capable despite his young age...
However, the An Family's parents seemed to be looking at her strangely. They seemed to be sizing her up, probing her, satisfied, and pleased... It was very strange.
Just as the banquet was coming to an end, the young master of the An Family, who hadn't personally thanked her yet, suddenly moved.
He strode up to her with his head held high like a proud lord, and said loudly.
"Schilling's Shadow, marry me!"
The crowd suddenly quieted down, and everyone looked at them. Some were shocked, some were astonished, some were expectant, and some were happy... Schilling's Shadow finally understood why the An Family's parents were looking at him strangely.
It seemed like they were willing to accept the young master's decision.
But who could say otherwise? Although Schilling's Shadow's current strength wasn't very high, he had a bright future ahead of him. His skills in alchemy and acupuncture were enough to make people look at him in a different light. The An Family's parents were businessmen, so of course they knew how to calculate.
Moreover, they had read Schilling's Shadow's information over and over again, so they were even more willing to agree to his request.
Schilling's Shadow rubbed his forehead, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "I'm not marrying."
"It's not up to you. I'm the richest man in the capital, and my family business is spread all over the empire..."
"Hey," she suddenly called out.
"Huh?"
"Is there something wrong with your brain?"
"Hmm?"
"Did you create your family business?"
"It's my father."
"Your father wants to use your family business to marry me?"
"Of course not!" Even if he was her biological father, this woman would not let him.
"Then why should you marry me?"
"Huh?"
"Besides, I'm not interested in your family business."
"…" Did that mean that he wasn't good enough for her?
"What's more, can a man who can't even beat me protect me?"
With his self-esteem severely damaged, Young Master An's face alternated between green and black as he stared fixedly at Xi Nuoying. She actually dared to belittle him like this in front of so many people. This was truly infuriating.
But … it was also because of this that he was even more attracted to her.
"Now that you've all thanked me, and I've gathered all the ingredients I requested, everyone … I'll be taking my leave now." Schilling's Shadow didn't look at Young Master An as he turned around and left.
How could Young Lord An let the woman he fancied disappear from his sight just like that?
He immediately chased after her without saying anything. Seeing his enthusiasm, the people behind him also chased after him with smiles on their faces. This time, even the An Family's parents couldn't help but speak up for their son.
