Chapter 422: Chapter 422 You Can’t Look

As Chu Lian walked out the door, he didn’t even think before chasing after Wang Xiangxiang, blocking her path directly.

Wang Xiangxiang stopped in her tracks when intercepted and spoke with a particularly indifferent tone, "What do you want?"

"..." Why did this stubborn girl always treat him like this? Couldn’t she be calm and composed?

"Are you so keen on finding a husband? Even considering going to another county?"

Yang Ming and he had just entered the room when he overheard Xiaoxiao asking her about seeking a suitable gentleman, and on a whim he stopped Yang Ming, wanting to hear her response.

When he heard that all the matchmakers in town wouldn’t advocate for her, he felt quite smug, yet he hadn’t expected that, when the conversation turned to finding a husband in another county, she suddenly perked up again. Did she really want to get married that badly?

How could she be so shameless, lacking any of the modesty that a woman should possess?

Hearing the unscrupulous man’s question, Wang Xiangxiang’s face soured, evidently, he had overheard her previous conversation, and she knew he was here to mock her.

"Yes, I do want to find a husband. How does that inconvenience you?"

"..." She had the nerve to ask how it inconvenienced him? She rejected him and then turned around to look for someone else, wasn’t that a slap to his face?

"You~are~not~allowed~to~find one," he threatened, emphasizing each word.

"..." Who did he think he was? To decree that she couldn’t find one?

Wang Xiangxiang snorted coldly and defiantly replied word for word, "I~will~find one!"

"You..." Chu Lian felt that this stubborn girl was always challenging him and that he constantly felt like he was about to explode with anger.

Moments later, a wicked smirk appeared on his face. With a sneer, he taunted her, "Hmph, with your looks, even if you find someone, it would be for naught; nobody would want you."

"I’ll find one just to show you, and you’ll see if anyone wants me."

Wang Xiangxiang was not to be outdone as she argued with Chu Lian. Over the years, other than Li Fugui being an exception, there really wasn’t anyone who had refused her; it was she who refused them all.

Hearing this, Chu Lian’s lips curled into a scornful laugh, "Just don’t end up with some unsightly oddity."

"Don’t worry, he’ll definitely be better than you."

Her words made Chu Lian’s face turn extremely ugly. He suppressed the impulse to strangle this stubborn girl. When he returned, he would instruct Acheng to ensure that matchmakers from other counties wouldn’t advocate for her either, and then watch how she managed to find her ideal gentleman.

But he neglected an important fact, that was, Wang Xiangxiang was exceptional, and he overlooked an important saying, Xiaoxiao’s wise words, "It’s as easy as pie for a woman to get the man she pursues."

At this point, Chu Lian, following Yang Ming, had already gone far down the path of his own undoing.

He continued to provoke Wang Xiangxiang with his words, "Then I shall wait to see this ideal gentleman better than me that you find."

"Rest assured, you’ll be the first one I show," she replied.

That despicable man really infuriated her. Scoffing at her inability to find someone, he made it seem as if she were lacking somehow.

Feeling so deeply insulted, she was compelled to retaliate and pierce his heart in retaliation. She smiled and said, "In this aspect, indeed, I am not your equal."

Chu Lian felt a sense of pride—finally, that stubborn girl admitted defeat, conceding she was not as beloved as he!

"To love yet to be unloved; how pitiful for you, sneaking around to watch her from afar." Wang Xiangxiang said with a feigned sympathetic tone and then walked on ahead.

Chu Lian behind her had his eyes wide with anger, his face turned an iron blue, fists clenched and creaking furiously. That stubborn girl truly was incompatible with him.

As much as he hated it in his heart, his feet wouldn’t listen and followed her nonetheless.
