My Silly, Sweet Wife

"Brother Shen, I have traveled thousands of miles just to propose marriage to you. If we can unite in matrimony, it will absolutely benefit the development of Mingpan City."

This middle-aged man is named Gu Quan’an, the City Lord of a larger city, Feifeng City, compared to Mingpan City.

Feifeng City, whether in terms of population or territory, is almost twice as large as Mingpan City.

Logically, Shen Qianjun should be pleased, but now he cannot feel happy at all.

Because the person Gu Quan’an wants to marry off his daughter to is a fool.

That fool is named Gu Wubian, Gu Quan’an’s eldest son.

It’s said that Gu Wubian used to be a genius, but for some unknown reason, while possessing great strength, his mind is no longer sharp.

How could Shen Qianjun willingly marry his beloved daughter to such a person?

"Ahem, City Lord Gu, you see, our Qiuxiang already has a marriage contract." Shen Qianjun clenched his fist secretly, speaking with difficulty.

At this time, Shen Qianjun dares not openly refuse Gu Quan’an at all.

Though Gu Quan’an is also a master at the Half-step Nascent Soul Realm, he has been at this stage for many years.

If it comes to a real fight, not to mention the forces of the two cities, he alone may not be a match for Gu Quan’an.

Resorting to this strategy is a last resort.

"There’s a marriage contract?" Gu Quan’an raised his eyebrows, clearly somewhat skeptical: "But as far as I know, Qiuxiang does not have a marriage contract, and this auction event you’re hosting seems to be to choose a son-in-law for Qiuxiang, right?"

Evidently, before coming, Gu Quan’an had investigated everything clearly.

"This..." Shen Qianjun was at a loss for words, unsure of how to explain.

It seems like being exposed, Gu Quan’an might turn against him.

While in a dilemma, someone reported from outside that the owner of Spirit Treasure Pavilion had arrived.

"Let him in." Although unaware of why the owner of Spirit Treasure Pavilion had come, at this moment, it was a relief from his urgent predicament.

Shen Qianjun promptly gestured to let the owner of Spirit Treasure Pavilion in, then politely addressed Gu Quan’an: "City Lord Gu, my apologies, I have matters to attend to, could you please wait for a moment?"

Gu Quan’an clasped his hands toward Shen Qianjun: "We’ll be family in the future, no need to be so formal."

Shen Qianjun’s mouth twitched twice, not responding, and quickly walked out.

"What happened?" As soon as Shen Qianjun stepped outside, he saw the owner of Spirit Treasure Pavilion pacing back and forth.

"City Lord, there’s a situation." The owner of Spirit Treasure Pavilion approached Shen Qianjun and quickly explained.

After listening, Shen Qianjun was taken aback, "Are you saying that the person is very young? Yet has Scar Dragon as a guard?"

"Indeed, City Lord, you see, with the auction about to start, such a person is surely not simple, should we meet him?" The owner of Spirit Treasure Pavilion was momentarily undecided.

Shen Qianjun was also somewhat surprised.

He couldn’t discern the background of Ye Guichen, but hearing the meaning in the words of Spirit Treasure Pavilion’s owner, that young man not only looks good but might have an extraordinary identity.

Of course, Shen Qianjun did not believe Ye Guichen’s cultivation was very high.

Considering the age.

Just slight contemplation made Shen Qianjun feel that Ye Guichen might be a young master from some prominent family.

Unexpectedly, a small auction could attract such a renowned young master?

Just a little thought, Shen Qianjun’s eyes brightened, feeling subtly excited.

It really is like fulfilling one’s wish unexpectedly.

Leaving aside Ye Guichen’s identity, if he could shift the conflict with Gu Quan’an toward Ye Guichen, wouldn’t he be able to sit back and watch the tiger fight?

"Good, very good!" Shen Qianjun excitedly patted the shoulder of the owner of Spirit Treasure Pavilion, giving him quite a fright: "City Lord, what’s going on? What’s so good?"

"Just don’t move hastily, I’ll make arrangements; also, keep a watchful eye and report back immediately if anything happens." After issuing orders, Shen Qianjun quickly returned to the room.

"City Lord Gu, my apologies, my future son-in-law was too considerate and sent someone to inquire about when to choose a date for the proposal." Shen Qianjun forced a smile, saying helplessly: "Ah, City Lord Gu, I appreciate your kindness, but Qiuxiang indeed has a marriage contract."

Gu Quan’an furrowed his brow, releasing a chilling aura, "Oh, then who is this person? Being able to marry Brother Shen’s daughter?"

"Ah, his identity is just ordinary, but he is currently resting at Changle Inn." Shen Qianjun observed Gu Quan’an: "You see..."

"Alright then, since it’s Brother Shen’s future son-in-law, I’d like to meet him!" Gu Quan’an stood up directly, turning towards the exit.
