On the final day of her trip, Su Li prepared to pick out a gift for each of her family and friends back ho.
Her destination was the largest shopping street in the area.
But before they arrived, the taxi was forced to stop.
The taxi driver stuck his head out of the window, took a look around, and then said to Su Li, "Ma’am, the road ahead is difficult to navigate, it looks like there is a crew filming..."
Because the scenery here was quite beautiful, it was common to have people from all over the world co to shoot and film. Those who frequently operated in the area had grown accustod to it.
"We’ll need to take a detour..."
Su Li also rolled down the window and stuck her head out to take a look.
As the taxi turned around, it seed that today Su Li’s luck was a bit off, as the street they had just passed was filled with a crowd holding their caras up high, rapidly snapping photos of a father and daughter approaching from not too far away.
It appeared to be a celebrity outing.
Su Li couldn’t recognize who the father and daughter were, and even after sifting through the original owner’s mories, she couldn’t find an answer.
However, the original owner had never paid attention to the entertainnt industry scene, nor was she a fan of celebrities. She couldn’t even recognize the local flowery celebrities, let alone the foreign stars who all seed to look alike.
Su Li had no interest in this, but there were those who were.
Foreigners, too, were crazy when it ca to chasing celebrities.
The road ahead was completely blocked by fans who had rushed over from different places.
The driver turned back to Su Li with a distressed look and said, "Ma’am, it seems you’ll need to go on foot."
"But your destination is very close from here."
Unexpectedly to Su Li, just as she got out of the car, an arm suddenly barred her way.
A breathless voice, filled with surprise, then rang out, "Qingqing, I’ve finally found you."
The depth of emotion in the voice was so full it was almost spilling over. Su Li shuddered all over in an instant.
Following the sound, she looked over and saw Lang Erping, her eyebrows raised, the corners of her mouth twitching into a near-smile.
Was the man in front of her seriously that comical?
Was this the sa Marquis so well-regarded in the original owner’s mory?
Even during the most destitute days in the Marquis Mansion, Lang Erping was always ticulous.
At least in public, he did not want to diminish the prestige of his house.
No matter how empty his purse was, his attire was always sharp and stylish.
In this small world, during their first eting, Lang Erping had also maintained his usual aesthetic, dressing to impress.
But now...
His current state was not necessarily unsightly, but it was surely the most disheveled he had ever been.
His well-grood hair was now a ssy jumble, tousled by the wind, and the heat, combined with his recent running, had left his shirt soaked with sweat.
The mix of perspiration and cologne was utterly unpleasant to anyone close by.
What she felt inside, Su Li unconsciously showed in her actions.
She pinched her nose and took a big step backward, quickly creating distance between herself and Lang Erping.
A look of hurt flashed in Lang Erping’s eyes. Unable to accept it, he clutched at his chest and stuttered, "Qingqing... I’m your Er Ping brother..."
Su Li looked at him with disdain, "Who are you? I don’t know you."
Lang Erping beca desperate and reached out to grab Su Li’s wrist, but she deftly avoided his grasp.
Many a lad nearby, who noticed Su Li’s peak beauty, each one eager to try coming to the rescue like a hero.
A handso, tall young man got the jump on the rest and cast a triumphant glance at the other n around him, who were eyeing Su Li with the intensity of tigers and wolves.
The gentlen of this country maintained their decorum, and seeing soone step forward to help, though annoyed at missing their chance, they didn’t lose their composure and still kept an appropriate expression.
Moreover, at the mont when Lang Erping reached out towards Su Li, a faint click was swallowed up by the noisy crowd.
Only Su Li’s ears twitched slightly, and she looked over in the direction of the sound.
She only saw a piece of a white skirt quickly duck behind a column.
Turning her head back to look at Lang Erping, Su Li then noticed that he was also wearing a white shirt and trousers.
Judging from the material, it seed to be of the sa series as the skirt she had just seen.
Su Li smiled purposefully with pursed lips, prompting a chorus of gasps from the surrounding crowd.
In turn, the celebrity father and daughter nearby lost much of their appeal.
Su Li’s presence had demonstrated to these foreigners the notion of a mysterious beauty from ancient Hua Country.
Compared to so foreigners who can hardly tell the difference between a beauty from Hua Country, Japan, or Korea, Adolf understood clearly that the Angel he t today was a beauty from Hua Country.
He was deeply fascinated by Hua Country’s culture, but likewise, he couldn’t quite grasp the descriptive words used in ancient Hua language.
"Hands soft as gentle jade, skin like creamy congealed fat. Neck like that of a sleek grub, teeth like lon seeds. Crescent brows, charming smile, and eyes that beckon," such words made Adolf find it hard to believe that people described by ancient Hua folks ever existed.
Such a beautiful girl could only be an Angel.
Not until he saw the woman before him... did he realize that those lovely words perfectly described all the feelings in his heart at that mont.
Even more so, they were beyond compare.
The ancients of Hua Country were truly magnificent, their few short words full of charm and endlessly morable.
And when he saw the young lady purse her lips and smile just then, Adolf covered his pounding heart and could not help but step back.
It was done, he felt as if he had been struck in the heart by Cupid’s arrow.
With a re glance back, her smile brought life to all flattery...
That was too beautiful.
Adolf felt he had to hasten his application to immigrate to Hua Country, the culture was so srizing, and the girl so beautiful, the temptation was just too great for him.
When necessary, he was also willing to offer so of his technology in exchange for what he desired.
In just a brief mont, Su Li was unaware that her presence had prompted a young yet eminent scholar to make a very important decision.
-------------
Qin Qing, hidden behind the column, opened the photo on her phone that she had just taken, looking at it over and over.
Her action was completely instinctual.
Upon seeing the Marquis so eager to take Su Li’s hand, she inexplicably raised her phone.
She had only recently beco adept at using this modern ans of communication.
Many of its functions left her in awe, wondering if she had such a Divine Artifact in the inner quarters of her previous life, how much more convenient her dealings would be.
The wheel wouldn’t need to be reinvented for many things.
Although Lang Erping hadn’t even touched the tip of Su Li’s fingernail, the angle at which the photo was taken made it seem as if they were an intimate couple strolling on the streets of a foreign land.
Su Li, Su Li...
Why was she always haunting her like a specter?
