Chapter 6. It seems like a big misunderstanding has occurred_1

In the short time she had been around Ou Zun, Mù Qiānxún had come to understand some of his quirky traits.

Sometimes he was domineering, and sometimes he was naive, sometimes sly and other times seductive. Whatever he wanted to do, he would do it, no matter how others tried to stop him. And the thing he hated most was when other people defied him. The more you tried to prevent him from doing something, the more he wanted to do it.

He was much like a child in temperament.

For instance, when Mù Qiānxún didn't want to be with him, he insisted on becoming engaged to her.

When Mù Qiānxún wouldn't let him approach the Xin Family, he insisted on doing so.

Once he returned to Jingyuan Villa that evening, he phoned his mother, who was still on vacation, to ask her to arrange a marriage proposal with the Xin Family.

He only mentioned proposing to the Xin Family on the call, but not to which daughter.

Lady Ou was already eager to hold a grandchild. The Ou Family had three children in total: the eldest, Ou Li, was the highest-ranking officer in the military region. At thirty, he knew virtually nothing about women, as he had dedicated his entire life to the military.

The second son, Ou Mo, was a prominent figure in the business world. He had no interest in women. Despite several attempts to arrange a match for him, all had failed.

The youngest son, Ou Zun, was not only the youngest but also the most idle. In his spare time, he would be involved in fights and causing disturbances. He was an overbearing law unto himself.

He was known as the Little Tyrant of the Imperial City.

Throughout the whole of the Imperial City, not a soul dared to cross this youngest scion of the Ou Family.

Ou Zun, just hearing his name, one could tell that he was a domineering ruler.

He was just twenty-two and already planning to get engaged. When the news broke, it caused uproar in the Imperial City and sparked enthusiastic discussions.

Mother Ou was nearly delirious with joy upon hearing the news. Although her three sons didn't quite meet her expectations in terms of marriage, at least she was now familiar with the concept of a "daughter-in-law." She was now ready to do whatever Ou Zun asked of her. If it weren't for her current circumstances, she would have flown straight back to have a look at her prospective daughter-in-law.

Mother Ou immediately phoned the Xin Family, saying she would return in two days. When the time came, she would definitely propose a marriage—anyone else's proposal might be less impressive, but the Ou's would always exceed expectations.

Mother Ou made the call directly to Xin Liao. Xin Liao had heard the news about Ou Zun's intended engagement and was wondering which lucky girl was going to marry into the Ou Family.

He never thought it would be his own daughter.

This delighted him beyond measure.

The Ou Family! If his daughter could marry into the Ou Family, his status in the Imperial City would instantly rise several notches.

Therefore, he hastily summoned his two daughters and his wife Luo Chang.

Xin Liao, giddy with excitement, told Luo Chang and their two daughters, "I just got a call from Lady Ou. She said she will be visiting our house in two days to propose a marriage."

"Propose a marriage?" A befuddled Luo Chang asked, "Whose marriage? The Lady Ou you're talking about, it's not Jin Xi, is it?"

"That's her, Lady Ou! She told me that her son Ou Zun is very fond of our daughter. She's currently abroad but has booked the fastest flight back. As soon as she gets back, she's coming to our house to propose."

"What?" Luo Chang was ecstatic at the news. Turning to her two stunned daughters, she blurted out, "One of you two... One of you is the girl Ou Zun is going to propose to. Who is it? I can't believe it; it's made me so proud. Ha ha, everyone knows that Ou Zun is getting engaged, but people don't know who the girl is. Turns out it's my daughter. That Ou Zun certainly has good taste."
