I Always Feel He Came for Me

"Besides, he wasn't wrong. My sister is indeed no less than anyone. From a man's perspective, my sister truly has a top-notch figure. Even your sister-in-law has praised it again and again, envying you terribly. She said she saw it when you bathed together, that your figure is a peerless sight, unmatched by anyone; even women would feel ashamed upon seeing it. She said whoever married you would be blessed, and cursed those men for being blind as bats. You know your sister-in-law never flatters people. It must be true, so why belittle yourself?"

Shang Shuqing's cheeks burned at his words. She spat lightly, "Brother, you have no propriety at all!"

Lan Ruoting, who had been listening nearby, smiled faintly.

"Alas!" Shang Chaozong raised both hands and held her shoulders again. "Qing'er, Li Ye is truly an excellent man! Though he is seven or eight years older than you, that little difference means nothing between a man and a woman. Though he has lost his wife, you and I both know why she died. It was not his fault. To be honest, I never expected him to raise this matter either. I was quite surprised."

"To speak frankly, because of your face, if you married someone else, I truly would not feel at ease with those people who judge by appearances. But Li Ye—we all know him inside out. He would never mistreat you. He is one of our own, and he would not be doing this because he coveted our family's power and influence. Nor is he the sort to indulge in wine and women. Don't refuse so quickly. With the war at a standstill, he has time as well. You can first spend some time with him and see whether he suits your heart before deciding, all right?"
