Chapter 804: Chapter 804: The Complex Entanglement Between Two Generations
âWhy do our generation always get dragged into things from the past life? Itâs not like weâre in a TV drama where such clichĂ©s happen!â
Cui Jiangjing was as annoyed as if his âfiancĂ©e in nameâ had come knocking on his door, he ruffled his hair in irritation and looked up at Li Shengxiao, âShengxiao, what do you think? Do you really plan on developing things with that girl from the Chu Family?â
The marriage arrangement between Li Shengxiao and the elusive Miss Chu from the Chu Family was rather complicated.
The two families had arranged the match because the older generation had agreed to unite their children in marriage, joining forces as powerful allies. However, Mrs. Lin, during her studies, fell in love with someone she preferred, who was Li Shengxiaoâs father.
After facing numerous challenges, they finally had Shengxiao.
The unfinished marriage contract between the Lin and Chu families naturally fell to the next generation.

Last time, the Lin Family had already stood up the Chu Family once. If Shengxiao did it a second time, with the Chu Familyâs nitpicky nature, they would definitely not let it go easily!
This was not an easy situation to handle.
âIâm not planning to,â he said while trying to think of a solution, yet the man of the hour remained remarkably calm, as if he hadnât taken the matter to heart at all. After replying, he lifted his arm to glance at his wristwatch, pursing his rose-colored thin lips.
Cui Jiangjing noticed his watch and expressed his surprise, âIsnât that one of DWâs watches released this year? The brand is controlled by the Li Group, and they design a custom model for you every year. Iâve seen you wear their unique global limited edition models before, so why choose a standard one this time? Itâs so down-to-earth.â
The design of the watch was indeed nice. He had wanted to buy it when he first saw it, but lost interest when he found out it wasnât a limited edition.
People in their circle disliked wearing the same clothes or accessories as others, especially men, as it seemed very low-class. Shengxiao didnât care about these things, but he was particularly fastidious by nature, hating to wear anything similar to others, even the fabric! Yet this time, he had unexpectedly worn a watch worth tens of thousands.

Li Shengxiao looked fondly at the watch on his wrist and tugged his shirt sleeve down to cover it as if not even letting Cui Jiangjing get a glimpse was akin to preventing him from taking it. His expression returned to its usual prideful indifference, âI like it.â
Cui Jiangjing, not giving it much thought and assuming it was genuinely to his taste, commented, âThat model seems like your type, with a black and white minimalist style. I thought it was nice at first too, luckily I didnât buy it or Iâd end up clashing with you. Clashing outfits isnât scary, itâs whoâs less handsome that ends up embarrassed. No need to think about it, if I clash with you, Iâd definitely be the embarrassed one!â
Fu Yi laughed softly, âNot bad, at least you have some self-awareness.â
âNonsense. In the entire Capital City, whoever the hell clashes with him wouldnât be embarrassed? You try clashing with him, if it were you, youâd be embarrassed too!â Cui Jiangjing grew more annoyed and lashed out at anyone he saw, speaking like a rapid-fire cannon, âI almost let you guys distract me from whatâs important again. Shengxiao, I was just asking you, what do you plan to do about Miss Chu? Youâve personally come to pick her up, donât tell me⊠youâre going to compromise?â
Damn, arenât you supposed to be secretly married!
If Fu Yi werenât there, he would have blurted it out.
This was so damn frustrating.
Li Shengxiao gazed out at the sky, where the occasional lights of planes twinkled, like stars streaking across the night.
