CHAPTER 18: CHAPTER 18: SHE IS THE KIND OF WOMAN WHO LEAVES MEN BREATHLESS

The most powerful man in the empire, a business tycoon, and the great CEO Mr. Nalan, is actually getting engaged!

This news is explosive.

"You’re a thousand-year-old ice mountain, where did you find a woman to get engaged to you?" was Bai Chi’s first reaction in disbelief.

He’s known Nalan Ye Jue for over twenty years, and a "woman" has never appeared by his side.

Of course, that ugly little waste Lan Qingxin doesn’t count.

Nalan Ye Jue ignored him, holding a photo, and continued instructing his secretary, Lu Bing: "Tell that lady, I, Nalan, am a man of my word. This engagement remains valid."

Lu Bing: "Would you like to meet once before the engagement ceremony?"

Nalan Ye Jue’s tone was as usual, calm and restrained, without a trace of emotion: "No need."

Lu Bing: "Understood, I’ll take care of it immediately."

Bai Chi’s eyes practically popped out.

Damn, there’s really a woman who wants to marry Jue.

So his second reaction was...

"Jue, wait! If you’re going to get married, at least look at the beauties I found for you."

"Look, this is the famous little female CEO of the Gong Family, Gong Nian Nian, super capable, a perfect match for you!"

"And this girl, the precious daughter of the Huo Family, Huo Yangyang, super beautiful, talented man and beautiful woman..."

He had painstakingly gathered this information for Jue’s matchmaking.

He couldn’t let an unruly woman from outside take his little sister-in-law’s place.

Bai Chi hurriedly spread a pile of photos with a "swish" on Nalan Ye Jue’s desk.

Indeed, the women in the photos were all very beautiful.

The daughters of high society in the Imperial City were not only beautiful but naturally graceful as well.

This stack of photos was like a hundred flowers blooming, dazzling the eyes.

However...

Nalan Ye Jue looked at them indifferently, not even glancing: "Take them away."

Bai Chi was choked.

Exactly, this is the Jue he knows, never interested in women.

The so-called engagement target is probably a family alliance facade, and surely not very good-looking, that’s why Jue doesn’t care about appearance.

Wait, that’s not right.

If Jue wanted an alliance, it should be with big families like the Gong Family, Huo Family... Why not choose Gong Nian Nian, Huo Yangyang?

Bai Chi couldn’t figure it out.

Until...

When Nalan Ye Jue put down the photo he was holding, picked up a pen to sign a document, Bai Chi finally understood.

That photo, like a light petal, gently, gently floated among the myriad of flowers.

Then.

All the thousands of blooming flowers on the table suddenly lost their color in front of her.

The girl in the photo was in profile, not looking at the camera, obviously captured hurriedly by someone.

Yet, just this profile shot made one’s breath stop instantly.

Unlike the wealthy girls who loved long curly hair, the girl had short hair that danced freely, looking spirited and energetic.

Between her brows and eyes was an undeniable, breathtaking allure.

That’s right.

Her beauty transcended the ordinary definition, grand and flamboyant, indescribably stunning.

Bai Chi swallowed his saliva.

After a while.

A sentence popped out—

"Damn, this little neck... so white!"

Looking closely, the girl was holding a thick stack of documents, and against her frost-like fair face, the glossy paper looked dull.

It was clear how fair she was.

Both handsome and commanding, yet so fair... An unattainable but much-sought-after type for men.

Conquer, shock, explosive, stunning!!!

Nalan Ye Jue coldly raised his eyes: "What did you say?"

Bai Chi snapped back to reality, realizing he had misspoken.

Quickly corrected: "Cough, cough, cough, no, I meant to say, our little... little sister-in-law is really fair... cough cough not, really beautiful! By the way, Jue, what’s our little sister-in-law’s name, why haven’t I seen her in the circles?"

In the circles of the Imperial City’s upper-class families, Bai Chi, Young Master Bai, knew all the beautiful women by heart.

This face of celestial grace, was completely unheard of.
