Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 912: Chapter 912: Would You Consider Marrying into the Tang Family? (2nd Update)

Seeing Chan’er, the frostiness on Tang Ling’er’s face finally melted away temporarily.

”Is that you, Chan’er? Having not seen you for years, how come you’ve become so charming?”

Chan’er came over excitedly and firstly gave a deep curtsy, ”I’ve seen Sister Tang!”

Then she eagerly said, ”Sister Tang, are you here to find our young master?”

Tang Ling’er nodded slightly, ”What is your young master doing now?”

Chan’er somewhat embarrassedly scratched her scalp, ”He is... sleeping!”

”Sleeping?” Tang Ling’er looked up at the sky.

It was just after lunch, a long while before dusk, and he was already sleeping?

It seems the rumors are all true!

Tang Ling’er felt inwardly displeased, but her face didn’t show it; she merely said indifferently, ”Then can Chan’er wake up young master Xue? I have something to discuss with him!”

”Of course, of course! If my young master knows Miss Tang has returned, he will definitely be happy!”

While saying this, Chan’er was about to run inside the house.

At this moment, a long yawn could be heard coming from inside the house.

”Who wakes from the great dream first, knows the meaning of life. In my humble cottage, I sleep deeply through spring, as the sun outside sets slow. Oh, how I love to sleep!”

Saying so, Xue An slowly emerged from the house, his face seemingly still veiled in the grogginess of someone not fully awake, and then he gave a slight smile to everyone.

Tang Ling’er felt as though she had been struck by lightning, her heartbeat even skipped half a beat.

Because the young man standing on the steps, tall and handsome, in clothes whiter than snow, when he smiled, his eyes shone like stars, resembling a deity lost in the mortal world, unspeakably awe-inspiring.

Is... is it him?

But he seemed very different from the gradually blurring figure in her memory, yet she couldn’t place exactly what had changed.

While Tang Ling’er was lost in a daze.

Chan’er already excitedly shouted, ”Young Master, Sister Tang is back!”

Xue An at that moment was also sizing up the girl who had once haunted the dreams of his original self.

She was dressed in a light cyan outfit, the simplicity and elegance revealing a hint of competence.

And her face could be deemed devastatingly beautiful.

Key to her appeal was the pair of phoenix eyes, strikingly remarkable, which gave her a commanding presence even in silence.

Xue An inwardly praised.

Quite a beauty with brains.

If she were on modern-day Earth, she definitely would be a powerful career woman.

No wonder the original self was so hopelessly infatuated with her.

Then he nodded slightly to Tang Ling’er, ”Miss Tang.”

Tang Ling’er felt increasingly puzzled.

Because in the past, when they corresponded through letters, Xue An wasn’t like this.

Back then, he revealed a heavy sense of insecurity in his words, nearly groveling in flattery towards her.

But meeting him today, he seemed so nonchalant, even making Tang Ling’er feel as though she was the lesser one.

What on earth was going on?

Tang Ling’er was surprised inwardly, but bred by the battles of the commercial world, she didn’t let it show and just nodded slightly.

”Master Xue, sorry to disturb your rest, I truly feel a bit apologetic!”

The intent behind these words was cryptic, seemingly mocking.

At least Qing’er, standing to the side, wore an expression of embarrassment.

However, Xue An merely smiled slightly, ”Too much sleep gets tiresome, I needed to get some fresh air anyhow! And I have always been waiting for Miss Tang to return!”

Tang Ling’er didn’t ponder too deeply, she had invited him after all, so naturally he would wait for her return.

The pressing matter now was to first get past her father’s examination.

Unconsciously, Tang Ling’er began to plan her next move with the tactics of the marketplace.

”Young Master Xue, we have known each other since childhood, so there’s no need for polite but empty words. I invited you to Capital City this time, thinking to lend you a hand, otherwise stuck at the bottom, you will never have your day!”

Having said this, Tang Ling’er took a deep breath, ”But now my father has learned of your arrival, and he wants to see you in the study!”

With these words spoken,

Qing’er and Chan’er both changed color simultaneously.

Especially Qing’er, ”The master... how could the master know so soon?”

Tang Ling’er said coldly, ”Naturally, it was my aunt who told him!”

Panic appeared on Qing’er’s face.

She also knew very well the master’s attitude towards their young lady’s marriage, so she was deeply aware that this summons would definitely not be that simple.

This anxious atmosphere also spread to Chan’er beside her.

The young maid’s face turned pale as she said tremulously, ”Then... what should we do? Should I ask my young master to hide first?”

Qing’er shook her head, ”It’s useless; you can hide for the moment but not for a lifetime!”

”And if you really hide, then...”

Qing’er did not finish the rest of the sentence, but the meaning was already clear.

If Xue An really avoided the meeting, his standing in the eyes of Tang Sheng would drop even lower, and he would never have the chance to turn things around.

This young maid, who had been by Tang Ling’er’s side since childhood, naturally understood what her young lady had in mind.

Therefore, avoiding the meeting was absolutely out of the question.

Indeed.

Tang Ling’er’s expression was cold, ”Young Master Xue, there’s no need to be too perturbed. My father wants to see you only because of the malicious rumors spread by Yao Yu and others! But...”

As Tang Ling’er spoke, a faint blush colored her cheeks, ”But he will definitely inquire about your marriage, and I hope that when the time comes, Young Master Xue will consider his words carefully before speaking!”

Her implication was very clear.

Tang Ling’er couldn’t point at Xue An’s nose and tell him to just confess to her father that he liked her!

That would just be too embarrassing!

Xue An, however, nodded with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, ”Very well, then I will go and see!”

With that, he descended the steps and said to Chan’er, ”Chan’er, wait here for my return!”

”Mhm!” Chan’er, clueless, simply nodded in agreement.

Then Xue An smiled at Tang Ling’er, ”Miss Tang, let’s go!”

On the way to the study at the back of the house, Tang Ling’er occasionally glanced at Xue An, who walked leisurely by her side, her mind in turmoil.

Her feelings for Xue An were extremely complex.

There was the admiration from childhood, the sympathy after growing up, and even a hint of disdain from the time they corresponded through letters.

All these feelings intermingled, making Tang Ling’er’s attitude towards Xue An equally complex.

However, over the years, Tang Ling’er had seen countless talented young men, but not a single one had evoked in her the feeling of a stirred heart.

Until today.

When she saw the young man standing on the steps, his profile outlined in the sunlight,

She suddenly understood her own heart.

No matter what, even if he were utterly mediocre and incompetent, she still liked him! If it came to it, she would strive outside, and he could stay at home to wait.

Tang Ling’er silently made up her mind, but immediately faced another difficult hurdle.

How could she convince her own father?

Thinking of this, Tang Ling’er gritted her teeth and then said to Xue An in a low voice, ”Young Master Xue!”

”Hmm?”

”My father will surely press for answers later, and now I just want to ask you one thing — do you... would you be willing to marry into the Tang Family?”
