Lin Zhen did not need to look up to know that Kong Qianqian had arrived.
Now that both sets of parents had agreed, all that remained was to hold the engagement ceremony.
However, Lin Zhen knew that Kong Qianqian did not want to be with him. She had probably come this time to cause him trouble.
None of this mattered to Lin Zhen. What entered his eyes did not enter his heart; he let everything take its course. In this life, he was alone and sought peace and quiet, with no desire for any emotional entanglements.
The only reason he had agreed to the engagement at his father's request was to make his parents happy.
Kong Qianqian walked up to Lin Zhen. Yet instead of flying into the rage he had expected, she sat down beside him.
At fourteen, she was in the prime of her youth. Years of training had given the girl a tall, striking figure, and she was well developed, no less than an adult woman.
A faint fragrance drifted into his nose, rather pleasant.
After weighing her words, Kong Qianqian spoke. "Lin Fan, do you think we're suitable for each other?"
Lin Zhen did not look at her and replied blandly, "It's our parents' decision. We just listen. Whether we're suitable isn't important."
Lin Zhen's indifferent attitude irritated Kong Qianqian somewhat.
She had come to talk to Lin Zhen because she wanted him to give up on the idea. As a girl, she still wanted to maintain her poise and grace.
In her mind, Lin Zhen must have begged his family to arrange a marriage with her. After all, she was such an outstanding girl.
Yet Lin Zhen had this kind of attitude. Was she, Kong Qianqian, really not worth even a second glance from him?
