"Qingqing, you must accept this marriage proposal. As the eldest son of the Shen family, his status is fitting for you."
In response, Qingqing shifted her seating position, her fair and tender face clearly etched with a large display of impatience.
She was beautiful, with elegant eyebrows and long eyelashes that could hardly hide her elfin eyes. Her black hair was casually draped around her shoulders. Despite only being 22 years old, there was a certain allure in her features that made her irresistible to others.
Even a simple furrowing of her eyebrows was pleasing to the eye. Looking at her exquisite daughter, Lin Fengxian, Qingqing's mother, couldn't help but feel an unspeakable pride. In a soft voice, she cooed, "Alright, my precious daughter, stop pulling that face. There's plenty of time for vacations. Let's take care of this major life event first. Your prospective fiancé is due to arrive soon. Remember to put on your best behaviour, you look decent enough for today."
As she said this, Lin Fengxian gestured to her assistant to take her daughter's luggage.
Finally, Qingqing couldn't suppress herself any longer. Not one for idle chat, she got straight to the point. "You mean, the eldest son of the Shen family, Shen Zhichen?"
"You should be quite familiar with him," Lin Fengxian pondered a moment, then continued, "Ah, right, last month at your grandfather's birthday, the Shen family attended, including him and his brothers."
Shen Zhichen… of course, she knew him. In the present city, this man was hotter than any A-list celebrity.
Good character, wealthy family, good looking; this man had it all. Not only that, he lacked the arrogance of a typical wealthy son. As the second daughter of the Wen family, and with her elder sister already married off, it was now her turn to face the inevitable business marriage. To be matched with Shen Zhichen, she considered herself fortunate.
Qingqing's fair and slender fingers traced a circle on the table while her eyebrows slightly raised, "I suppose we should meet then."
Seeing her daughter nod in agreement, Lin Fengxian finally exhaled in relieved. "I've arranged for the meeting at 2 o'clock, in 10 minutes. He should be just about—"
"He's already here."
Before her mother's words were fully out, Qingqing saw the hotel manager welcoming a man at the entrance, who had just come in. Dressed in a white shirt and black pants, and sporting black leather shoes, from her angle, she could even see his exquisitely sculptured facial features. His prominent nose was even more three-dimensional than it seemed in photographs, and his eyes were as profound as ink.
Hmm, she would give his appearance a score of 99 out of 100.
From a distance, Shen Zhichen saw the Wen mother and daughter. A warm smile on his face, he approached them. Lin Fengxian quickly stood, greeting him with a smile. Not one to be rude, Qingqing also stood. Shen Zhichen, showing gentlemanly manners, lightly nodded to the two ladies. His gaze met Qingqing's without any hint of pretense, and after a polite smile, he turned to Lin Fengxian and said, "Aunt Lin, I apologize for keeping you waiting. There was some traffic on the way here."
People say that Shen Zichen has a very good temper, it seems that this is not just a rumor.
"Mr. Shen, you are too polite, it's just that my daughter and I arrived early."
Shen Zichen nodded, and then looked at Shuangqing again.
"Miss Wen, nice to meet you." His voice sounds really nice, that was Shuangqing's first impression. His words were humble and polite. Honestly, who in Feng City doesn't know how capable Shen Zichen is? It's feared that merely stomping his foot could cause tremors in the business world. But he seemed genuinely restrained and down-to-earth, very polite.
Shuangqing’s first impression of him, quite delightful.
She also reached out her hand proactively. Her soft small hand and his large male palm held together, as if a warmth was spreading in the palms of both hands, infiltrating their nerves with a strange aura.
Shuangqing's soft, red lips slightly curved, sweetly uttered, "Hello, Mr. Shen."
