My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1931: Attracting Big Trouble

Fengye Ningyuan laughed, looking up to study him: "Is she really that ordinary? Your evaluations of women usually don’t exceed three words. ’Don’t know,’ ’No impression,’ ’Ugly’... they’re all like that. Basically, no woman can leave a mark on you. Now, that she’s made you express such a long evaluation, it shows your impression of her is anything but ordinary."

Fengye Wuyin’s expression turned a bit unpleasant, a strong sense of irritation rising in his heart.

He didn’t want to drag Yiyi into his family’s troubles. Maybe from the start, he shouldn’t have been so reckless, bringing her home and letting everyone misunderstand.

And after returning, when she proposed to leave, he should have let her go to save himself the trouble.

But against all logic, he kept her, and now even his father was targeting her, which was a big problem for her. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Does dad also want her to become my bride?"

"Why not? It’s said that her hair and eyes are very dark, indicating strong fertility. She could bear many children for our Fengye Clan. In these times of dwindling numbers, her capability could make the family prosperous and enviable to many families!"

Listening to him speaking in that casual tone, like calculating how many piglets a sow can birth, Wuyin felt a deep sense of disgust and anger.

What did he take Yiyi for, an excellent reproductive tool?

Truly disgusting.

"I don’t like her, and I won’t marry her." Fengye Wuyin rejected coldly.

This time Fenye Ningyuan was surprised, studying his son whose face was suddenly covered with a layer of chilling frost: "I thought your willingness to bring her home meant your feelings for her were different because you’ve never shown interest in any women before. However, when you say you don’t like her, is that sincere, or are you just deliberately opposing me?"

"Think what you want, the result is the same. I won’t marry her anyway."

Fengye Wuyin’s tone was firm beyond doubt.

Fengye Ningyuan gave him a deep look, leaning back on the leather chair with his chin raised, a sinister calculation at the corner of his mouth: "Actually, I also disagree with you marrying her. Luckily, you yourself aren’t willing, or it would be really troublesome. I don’t want things to get too tense."

Fengye Wuyin was completely stunned, looking at him, not understanding.

"What do you mean by this?"

"Our family is always strict when choosing a marriage alliance. The woman must be very outstanding but not the most outstanding. Because being too conspicuous would bring trouble. I’ve seen pictures of that girl, she’s too beautiful. She also seems like a person with a lot of personality and her own thinking. These traits combined mean she’s a troublesome individual. What’s more troublesome is, she possesses such a rare pure black hair. She’s the best choice for a breeding object, yet, evidently, also the most troublesome."

"Why? Don’t you prefer the best?"

"Because being too rare would attract competition."

Fenye Ningyuan shook his head regretfully, a very pitying expression, yet not much reluctance.

"A beautiful gem, no matter how beautiful, if not rare, won’t be sought after by many. But a completely unique gem would inevitably incite competition from all sides. Compared to her reproductive value, the troubles she would attract might be greater. I don’t want the Fengye Family to get into big trouble because of her!"

Fengye Wuyin was so shocked he was speechless, this seemingly reasonable yet unpleasant reasoning, marrying or not marrying someone was merely the result of a benefit-loss calculation.
