Chapter 5 Dream

The voice fell, and with a click, the mechanism in the red-dressed girl's hand landed on the carriage carpet with a dull clang. She seemed barely to register what her father had said.

After a moment, her face paled as she asked,

"Father, are you kidding?"

Su Shengyuan said sternly, "How could a father take such a serious matter as his children's marriages lightly? This child is truly gifted, like a soaring dragon in the wild. When the time is right, in just a few years, he will soar into the skies and soar across the lands of the nine provinces."

"By then, he'll be world-renowned, and I'm afraid even the noble families of the Imperial City will be looking for him as a son-in-law..."

He had meant to say that by then, it would be difficult for your daughter to associate with him. But he paused, not saying anything else. He simply said, "He has a righteous character and integrity. Although he's a little down on his luck now, it won't last long. If you can treat him sincerely during his hardship, even if he soars to fame and fortune in the future, he will never let you down. He's a perfect match."

Su Shengyuan spoke slowly.
