My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1785: A Match for Him
And when she was at the councilwoman’s banquet.
While being surrounded by a bunch of noblemen trying to curry favor and flatter her, she wondered if the councilwoman’s newly adopted son might also be a weakling!
Holding a wine glass, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of a figure under the dazzling and mysterious lights that she would never forget for the rest of her life.
Her heart raced wildly, and her pupils dilated.
Through the endless crowd, she gazed at him, unable to look away.
There is a kind of man, even if you have never met him, don’t know his name, his past, or anything about him, but as long as he appears and stands there, his innate powerful aura, his arrogance that sees no one else, his self-importance standing above all, does not diminish in the slightest.
On the contrary, it becomes even more intense, more striking to the soul.
Causing indescribable shock, inexplicable fear, and an inexplicable sense of submission from the heart.
At that moment, her heart was shaken. She never believed in something called love at first sight.
Without knowing the other person’s background, past heroic deeds, or anything that measures a man’s worth, how could she know if those men were worthy of her, so she thought she would never be attracted to a man she met for the first time.
Only a man whose status, position, and competence were superior to hers would attract her.
But she was wrong this time. Seeing that man was like a huge shockwave that instantly struck her heart, not allowing her to consider anything else.
At that moment, she realized with ecstasy that the man she was looking for was this person!
Without needing to know his background or abilities, she could sense from his powerful presence that this man was capable of matching any woman in the world.
She immediately made up her mind to win over this man.
As it turned out, later she found out he was the newly adopted son of the grand councilman, and she was even more overjoyed. This adopted son was a thousand times stronger than the previous weakling, and his status and powerful family were precisely what her father had always yearned to form an alliance with.
This was truly a win-win situation; she could fulfill her father’s wishes and marry the man she admired, becoming the mistress of the strongest family.
However, although she was determined to marry this man, she did not rush to take an active approach. Powerful men generally do not like women who cling too actively; it might only earn his disdain. Moreover, there were already enough infatuated wealthy women pursuing him, and she looked down on those foolish women.
She wanted to show her uniqueness, composed and magnanimous, standing out distinctly from other women.
Powerful men need powerful and smart women to match them, and her knowledge, background, and beauty were all sufficient to match him.
Therefore, she neither appeared too eager nor intentionally disinterested, but instead showed just the right amount of affection, not too forthcoming. After all, men also need to be teased, so they will have an interest in initiating a pursuit of their ’prey.’
"Thank you, Young Master Ling Kong, for your concern. I certainly won’t hesitate if there’s ever a need. Recently, I’ve also been visiting the councilwoman. I didn’t expect that her goodwill to Yalan to help the impoverished citizens would result in someone plotting against her; fortunately, she escaped danger." She showed genuine concern.
"I heard from my mother about you, saying you play the piano very well, and she loves listening to it. She’s often bored lying in the hospital bed these days, so she hopes you can play more for her to lift her spirits."
