"Yeah, Lingxue, you don't really have a thing for that guy, do you? You better not mess around, we can't afford to provoke Young City Lord Xu!"
"He's one of the Four Divine Beasts, the Cyan Dragon! Although not as powerful as the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon of the Imperial City, he's still a top-level fighter! Don't mess with him."
...
Everyone heard Chen Lingxue's tone and felt she really didn't want the arranged marriage, and they immediately panicked a bit.
Although they had indeed said before that they'd let the two meet first and see how it goes before talking further.
But for them, these large families, this was just a formality.
Whether they liked each other or not, when it came to family interests, the marriage had to happen.
"Lingxue, you aren't really rejecting the arranged marriage with Young City Lord Xu because of the man you brought back, are you?"
Her cousin, the overseas-returned PhD, squinted his eyes slightly.
"It's not about him."
