Chapter 3: Suitable, Perfectly Suitable in His Eyes
Upon hearing this, the elder was gratified and hung up the phone.
When Di Yunshen returned to the private room, he discovered that Su Qingli had finished her meal and was planning to escape!
"Where are you going?"
"Uh... thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Di. I'll just... be leaving now."
"Leaving? The matchmaking isn’t over yet."
"Ah? I feel like we're... not very compatible?"
Di Yunshen sat down, lifted his eyes to look at her. "Compatible. I think we’re very compatible."
Su Qingli felt as if the world had turned surreal! Compatible? Where on earth did he get that idea? Was it because her attire wasn’t rustic enough?
"Mr. Di, you and I, one is in the heavens, the other on the earth. This meal you just had costs six figures, but I have to budget carefully even for a steamed bun. Are you sure... we’re compatible?"
He sat there, his gaze sweeping over her, then replied without hesitation, "Compatible, couldn’t be more so. There are six more matchmaking sessions, right? No need for them. Come home with me."
As he spoke, he stood up, then thought of something and stared at her across the table, adding, "There will be plenty of steamed buns."
"!!!"
Su Qingli’s mind went completely blank! She was convinced Di Yunshen was out of his mind! She couldn’t fathom why he thought they were compatible!
"Hey, Di Yunshen! We haven’t even talked, and you say we’re compatible? Are you being forced by your family?"
"We can talk slowly when we get home, talk all night if you wish."
Di Yunshen walked ahead briskly, and Su Qingli scampered after him, muttering under her breath.
"I mean it! If your family is forcing you, just tell me, I’ll have my master talk to them! There won’t be any trouble!"
Seeing how fast he walked, and how little interest he showed in her, she was even more determined to escape!
Just then... a voice came from ahead.
"I know Miss Su is skilled in martial arts, so escaping would be no problem. Therefore..."
"So you’ve changed your mind?" Su Qingli suddenly put her hands on her hips.
"Therefore... I’ve stolen the remaining six marriage contracts from you."
Su Qingli: "?!!"
Her master had said she couldn’t return to the mountain unless she finished all the matchmaking sessions! Without the marriage contracts, how could she go back?
"Di Yunshen! You, the dignified president of the Di Corporation, resort to underhanded tricks?!"
"Otherwise, do you think Di Corporation would be ranked first?"
Su Qingli: "!!!"
Di Yunshen got into the car, rolled down the window, "If you want the marriage contracts, get in."
Su Qingli hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and climbed in. As soon as she did, she discovered...
Chapter Three
Di Yunshen was holding a box full of checks! All of them filled out and stamped! She had no particular hobbies, except... loving money!
The curse she was about to utter was swallowed instantly, and she sat beside him with a smile, her eyes glued to the box in his arms.
Shen Ci, seated in the passenger seat, turned around suddenly, "President, Miss Yun Shasha said she’d like to have dinner with you tomorrow."
Di Yunshen replied coldly, "No time."
...
Yunjin Bay. This was Di Yunshen’s manor, half encircled by mountains, half bordered by the sea, with an exceptional location.
From the moment Su Qingli entered, she began to look around—not out of awe, but because the place felt oddly familiar!
"What’s wrong?"
Su Qingli glanced back, then shook her head. "Nothing."
"You’ll stay in this room from now on."
"Mm."
Su Qingli was placed in a room next to Di Yunshen’s. She ran her fingers slowly through her hair, holding onto a fallen strand.
Soon, her fingers moved swiftly, forming seals in succession.
She was divining, trying to locate her marriage contracts.
Suddenly, the strand of hair dropped to the floor, and Su Qingli exploded, "Damn it! He’s hidden them in a safe! And the key to the safe has been melted!"
She was doomed.
Su Qingli sat on her bed, dumbfounded, while the room next door had been meticulously arranged by Di Yunshen.
He understood Su Qingli well, especially her mastery of the eighteen arts.
Divination, martial arts, etiquette, talents.
Her best skill was divination. She had won every ten of ten divinations, surpassing even the elder’s level.
The elder had once made her swear: after learning divination, she must never probe her own origins, fate, or fortune.
That night, Su Qingli suddenly opened her eyes. She didn’t turn on the light, but stared fixedly in one direction. After a long while, she switched on the lamp and got out of bed slowly.
During the day, the place had seemed familiar to her, but she had overlooked one thing—the house was not clean, someone had set up a feng shui array.
She took a sip of water and lay down again.
The next morning, while eating, Su Qingli asked directly, "Do you have any enemies, the kind who hate you to the bone?"
As soon as she spoke, Di Yunshen and Shen Ci exchanged glances. Especially Shen Ci, whose expression changed instantly as he gazed at Su Qingli with grave intensity.
Because this was the president’s forbidden topic! No one could gain from it!
"Miss Su, what does this have to do with you—"
Just then, Di Lingtian’s voice came from nearby, "Di Tingxiao? The Di family’s illegitimate son."
Shen Ci turned his head in disbelief to look at his president, his face full of shock! Then he looked again at Su Qingli.
"Loan me eight million, I’ll do you a favor."
Di Yunshen said nothing, but looked at Shen Ci, who immediately understood and nodded, "Miss Su, here’s a check. You can cash it at any bank."
Su Qingli actually smiled, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll cheat you out of your money?"
To Di Yunshen, not to mention eight million, even if she wanted eighty billion, he’d gladly let her cheat him.
"Your Yunjin Bay is cursed. If someone lives here, in four years they’ll be paralyzed, in ten years dead. And this year is the third."
