She's the kind of woman who makes men breathless

The most powerful man in the empire, a titan of the business world and CEO of a tech conglomerate, Mr. Nalan, was actually getting engaged!

This news was explosive.

"You've been a ten-thousand-year-old iceberg; where did you even find a woman to get engaged to?" Bai Chi's first reaction was disbelief.

He had known Nalan Ye-Jue for over twenty years, and the creature known as a "woman" had never once appeared by his side.

Of course, that ugly little good-for-nothing Lan Qingxin didn't count.

Nalan Ye-Jue ignored him, holding a photograph in his hand as he continued to instruct his secretary, Lu Bing: "Tell that lady that I, Nalan, am a man of my word. This marriage contract remains valid."

Lu Bing: "Before the engagement ceremony, would you like to meet her?"

Nalan Ye-Jue's tone remained as usual, calm and restrained, without a ripple of emotion: "No need."

Lu Bing: "Understood, I will handle it immediately."

Bai Chi's peach-blossom eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Holy crap, there really was a woman marrying Jue.

And so, his second reaction was...

"Jue, wait! If you're going to get married, at least look at these beauties I've found for you first."

"Look, this is the famous young CEO of the Gong Corporation, Gong Niannian. She's super capable and a perfect match for you!"

"And this girl, the apple of the Huo family's eye, Huo Yangyang. She's stunning, you two would be a perfect pair..."

He had painstakingly gathered this information, intending to use it for Jue's matchmaking.

He couldn't let some random woman from the outside snatch the position of his future sister-in-law.

In a rush, Bai Chi "swished" a stack of photos across Nalan Ye-Jue's desk.

Indeed, the women in the photos were all beautiful.

The young ladies and princesses of the Imperial Capital's high society were not only beautiful but also possessed exceptional temperament.

This stack of photos was like a hundred flowers competing in beauty, dazzling to the eye.

However...

Nalan Ye-Jue looked at them coldly without even a glance: "Take them away."

Bai Chi choked.

That was right; this was the Jue he knew, never interested in women.

The so-called engagement partner must just be a front for some family alliance; she probably didn't look like much, which was why Jue didn't care about appearances.

Wait, that wasn't right.

If Jue were to enter an alliance, it should be with a major family like the Gongs or the Huos... why not choose Gong Niannian or Huo Yangyang?

Bai Chi couldn't figure it out.

It wasn't until...

Nalan Ye-Jue set down the photo he was holding and picked up his pen to sign documents that Bai Chi finally understood.

That photograph was like a light petal, drifting gently, ever so gently, into the middle of the sea of flowers.

And then.

All the flowers of the high-society ladies on the desk instantly lost their color in her presence.

The girl in the photo was captured in profile, not looking at the camera at all; it was clearly a hurried snapshot.

Yet, just this single profile was enough to make one hold their breath.

Unlike the wealthy socialites who preferred long, wavy hair, this girl had bold, unrestrained short hair, looking heroic and walking with a sense of purpose.

Between her brows lay a handsomeness that was impossible to ignore and breathtaking to behold.

That was right.

This girl's beauty transcended ordinary definitions; it was grand, bold, and peerlessly stunning.

Bai Chi swallowed hard.

After a long while.

He blurted out—

"Damn, that little neck... it's so white!"

Looking closely, the girl was holding a thick stack of documents, and against the backdrop of her ice-cold, frost-like face, the bright white printed paper actually paled in comparison.

It showed just how fair she was.

Handsome, cool, and fair... she was truly the type of woman men found unattainable yet dreamed of.

The, sense, of, conquest, was, off, the, charts!!!

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

Bai Chi snapped back to reality, realizing he had spoken out of turn.

He quickly corrected himself: "Cough, cough, cough, no, I meant, our little... little sister-in-law is so fair... cough, no, so beautiful! By the way, Jue, what is our little sister-in-law's name? How come I've never seen her in our circles?"

As the young master of the Bai family, he knew every beauty in the high-society circles of the Imperial Capital like the back of his hand.

He had never even heard of this face, which possessed such world-shaking beauty.
