Chapter 3048 — Xuanchen Plays Matchmaker
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Zhaoming, your engagement with Little Taohong has been completely dissolved, has it not?" Elder Xuanchen glanced at Kang Jingming and asked.
"Yes, it has been dissolved!" Kang Jingming answered hurriedly.
"Good. That being so, I will play matchmaker for you anew!" Elder Xuanchen nodded.
"Matchmaker?" Kang Jingming was slightly taken aback. "Honored Master, do you mean... you intend to introduce me to... to a prospective match?"
"Precisely!" Elder Xuanchen said. "I intend for you to take my daughter—Little Eleven—as your wife!"
"Ah?" Hearing Elder Xuanchen's words, Kang Jingming was utterly dumbfounded! Marry Little Eleven? Was that not the mummy on the bed? Kang Jingming had heard that once the silver needles were pulled from Little Eleven, her whole body would be covered in holes!
And besides, Little Eleven had lost all her strength—she was a cripple. Taking her as a wife would be worse than Little Taohong! True, Little Eleven's face was a bit prettier than Little Taohong's, but if she undressed at night, with great holes and small pits all over her body, or perhaps only half a buttock or half a breast, would that not scare him impotent on the spot?
"What? Kang Jingming, you refuse?" Elder Xuanchen's brows knitted slightly as he demanded.
"No... no... This disciple is merely overjoyed!" Kang Jingming's heart lurched. How would he dare say he refused? This was Elder Xuanchen's daughter, and Elder Xuanchen himself had proposed the match. If he refused, he would likely be thrown out on his ear! So no matter how unwilling he was, Kang Jingming could only feign great delight. "This happiness came too quickly. This disciple could not take it in all at once—I was stunned!"
"So you agree, then?" Elder Xuanchen asked.
"By the command of parents and the word of a matchmaker—Master, Master is as a father, and your arrangement is this disciple's wish!" Kang Jingming said hurriedly, while his heart bled. Had he known it would come to this, why in the world had he broken off his engagement with Little Taohong? He regretted it to death!
But what use was regret? Kang Jingming could only accept the reality of being married off before his eyes.
"Very well. Since you agree, I will choose a day and hold the wedding for you!" Elder Xuanchen nodded in satisfaction.
"Yes!" Kang Jingming thought to himself, could I possibly say I disagree? What a curse! Wei Zhao, you and I are irreconcilable—you crippled this worthless goods and then dumped her on me. One day, I will surely do you in!
Kang Jingming swore this silently in his heart!

Wei Zhao returned to the villa from the Sun family, bringing Wu Chengtian and Fiery Cloud with him. When Gu Mengyao opened the door, she was slightly taken aback—she had not expected Wei Zhao to come back! Wu Chengtian had left the villa earlier without a word, but Gu Mengyao had not thought much of it; after all, Wu Chengtian often drove out to purchase various things.
Gu Mengyao had assumed it was Wu Chengtian returning, but when she saw Wei Zhao outside the villa as well, she was rather surprised. "Wei Zhao, you're back? Weren't you still at your hometown?"
