Chapter 08. Matchmaking
To be honest, he is indeed ashamed to have a daughter like Xiao An Na, but deep down in his heart, he occasionally feels guilty for ignoring her all this time, even though he knows that Xiao An Na has no faults, he just needs someone to blame for his wife's death, and that person was Xiao An Na. The only thing that could atone for his feeling guilt was to set the girl up with Qian Cheng. A man with good talent who can protect Xiao An Na in the future.
"Don't worry, if one day my daughter troubles your sect or does something bad, then you can return her to me, sir," he added as he looked at the silver sword sect.
Xiao An Na lowered her head, all of this was out of her control. Her father suddenly came, it turned out that he just wanted to set her up with someone she didn't know at all, did her father hates her so much that he did this to her without asking her opinion first?
"Thank you for your generosity, Master," said Qian Chu, the head of the silver sword sect.
"Daddy..." said Qian Cheng wanting to protest but failed when he saw his father's gaze.
The elders and the people present in the hall remained silent, no longer protesting. This was their sect master's decision. Although they did not like this decision, in the end, they were forced to agree.
As for Xiao An Ni, the little girl had been silent since earlier. Since the first time she saw Qian Cheng, her eyes never took her eyes off the man. She was fascinated and liked him at first sight.
Hearing her father's intentions, she felt jealous. How could her sister who lacked any abilities be so lucky to have a man like Qian Cheng?
On the other hand, Xiao An Na glanced at the man, smiling, but Qian Cheng ignored her. Even the man looked away and had no interest in her.
All eyes were on Xiao An Na, some of them staring at the girl with blatant disdain.
"Xiao An Na, from now on you are Qian Cheng's fiancé. You must not leave the sect without my permission, you must take good care of yourself, you must also learn to be a good wife until you are old enough to marry with him," Xiao Jun said to his daughter.
Xiao An Na was silent. If possible, she would like to refuse this arranged marriage. But she did not know how to do it, because this was her father's first request of her.
"Xiao An Na, didn't you hear your father?" Huanran joined in. She is Xiao An Na's stepmother.
Xiao An Na stood up from her position, "Daddy, it is an honor for me to have a husband-to-be like Mr. Qian Cheng, he is handsome and has great talent. I think all girls will like his charms, Dad, not only that, any girl in my position would be very happy," Xiao An Na said in a soft and low voice.
Hearing that, Qian Cheng's confidence increased.
"Thank you for your praise of my son, Miss," Qian Chu said.
Xiao An Na nodded and smiled at the middle-aged man's words, she then turned her gaze to her father and then looked at Qian Cheng.
"But, I don't feel like it's right for me to be side by side with him. I know myself, I don't have any talent, I and Master Qian Cheng are like earth and sky. With my ability like this, I will only be a burden in the future. Maybe another girl suits him better than me," said Xiao An Na again.
Instantly Qian Cheng stood up from his position, "How dare you to refuse me, Miss? Among the beautiful and talented girls in this sect, you're the only one betrothed with me. You should feel lucky," said Qian Cheng, he didn't like it. To him being rejected by a girl was the same as humiliating himself.
"No, I'm not rejecting you. I think a girl who has beauty and the same talent as you is the most suitable. As for me, I don't have anything, Sir. I just don't want to disappoint you later," Xiao An Na replied.
"You don't have the right to decide who will be my partner later, Miss," Qian Cheng was getting annoyed. How could trash like that girl reject him like this? What girl wouldn't be attracted to him? He had completely lost face.
Suddenly a sound of laughter filled the room, everyone immediately turned to Xiao Jun, no exception.
"Ha ha ha, it seems that your son agreed to this matchmaking, Mr. Qian Chu," said Xiao Jun.
The middle-aged man smiled, "I think so too, Master Xiao Jun. Qian Cheng, I've never seen you angry like this." Qian Chu said as he turned his head towards his son.
"No, Dad. Not like that. You misunderstood," Qiang Cheng replied immediately. Right now he was very annoyed, Has everyone in this room gone mad? Who is attracted to such a girl? He felt angry that a trash girl like Xiao An Na rejected him, but that didn't mean he agreed to an arranged marriage with her. No, that is a very crazy thing.
"Never mind, you better sit back down, Qian Chen," said his father.
"But..."
"Okay, calm down. I'll straighten this out. My daughter didn't reject you, she just felt she didn't deserve this matchmaking because she didn't have any talent. Don't be angry anymore, Young Master Qian Cheng. As long as you can accept my daughter's flaws, then everything will be fine," said Xiao Jun interrupting the man.
"Is that right An Na?" he added again looking at his daughter.
Qian Cheng wanted to reply to the middle-aged man's words but was stopped again by his father. While An Na, the girl is silent, not knowing what kind of response to respond, hearing her father, she finds it difficult to refuse this matchmaking. And in the end, she nodded weakly in response.
Seeing that, Qian Cheng snorted disapprovingly. 'Just watch, this matchmaking won't last long,' he thought. If he can't refuse this matchmaking, maybe he can stop this matchmaking in the future.
