Shen Lingxue's face turned pale. She thought that Han Ruochen was taunting her for being too young. She was filled with anger, but she did not lose her temper; instead, she raised her chin and admitted it with a sneer. "So what if I like him? I have liked him since I was a child. I want to be his bride; after all, the two of them have been engaged since we were children. Brother Zhai is outstanding, and he deserves only someone like me, whose family background is compatible with his.
"Only someone who has both power and family background deserves to be his wife. I already had one perfect aspect, and if I had become Old Master Xu's disciple, then I would have become simply the perfect wife for Brother Zhai, but you ruined it all!"
