The Story of a Spoiled Daughter Raising a Husband

Looking to the side, I realized that the sound was coming from a porridge shop. The man called Young Master Sichen was sitting there. He had a different aura than those who had practiced martial arts for a long time. His eyes were not as sharp. I thought to myself: The teachers must not be joking with me. No matter how I look at this person, he is not as... well, that's right, he is big and burly.

Looking around, I simply walked in. Luckily, I hadn't eaten anything that morning, so this was a good opportunity to see if I could make some connections. Once inside, I ordered a bowl of rice porridge from the owner. While waiting, I casually glanced at the bustling street and observed the so-called teacher.

If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't have noticed, but Si Chen was not so simple to begin with. Moreover, he had the title of a martial arts instructor, so he was particularly sensitive. Even if he was slow to notice, he could sense the difference in Tong Qian's expression.

After looking closely, he realized that he had no connection with her. However, he also knew that the girl staring intently at him was the rising star, Miss Tong, who was currently enjoying great popularity in the teahouse. He had heard that her singing and acting were particularly well-received.

No matter how she thought about it, she didn't know why she was looking at her like that. Thinking this, she looked around and saw that there were not many people. She then clasped her hands in greeting and said in a high voice, "Miss Tong, my name is Si Chen. I have never had any dealings with Miss Tong. I wonder if I have offended you by chance."

"If so, then I apologize to you right now. If not, may I ask what brings Miss Tong to me? If you are willing to teach me, then I am naturally all ears." As he said this, he carefully examined Tong Qian, a slight smile occasionally appearing on his face.

When Tong Qian heard him say that, she knew that he had revealed everything about their relationship in just a few words. Looking at the gazes of the people around them, she understood his intention. She also blamed herself for being so distracted by his mystery that she forgot they were in a place with so many people.

She simply smiled slightly at everyone, without saying anything to explain to those who were not involved. In fact, since she came in, people's eyes had been constantly on her. It was because of the incident at the teahouse a few days ago that she had attracted so much attention. Even if she didn't look at Si Chen, their stares made her feel annoyed.

Now that Si Chen had brought this up directly, it was actually a good thing for him. So he got up, calmly sat down at the table where Si Chen was, gave a slight bow, and then, without paying attention to Si Chen's expression, began to speak:

"I have recently heard that you, sir, have extremely high attainments in martial arts, so I would like to come and ask for your guidance. I hope I have not been presumptuous in disturbing you." In fact, Tong Qian really wanted to say "Master," but seeing his age, she probably did not want to use such an old title as "Master," so she changed the subject halfway through.

When Si Chen saw Tong Qian approaching, his expression changed slightly. Although he didn't care what others said, it seemed that she was trying to confirm that she had something to do with him. Looking at her calm and composed expression, he became curious and wanted to see what she was up to.

"Miss Tong, I am flattered by your words. To be honest, I am not a person with any skill in martial arts. I am grateful for your appreciation."

Tong Qian looked at him and didn't respond to his words. Instead, she continued what she had said earlier: "Actually, I have been thinking about paying a visit for a while now. After all, only in this way can you see my sincerity. But before that, I haven't found a more suitable time. I'm always thinking about finding a more suitable person to help introduce me."

"But the number of people I know, and who are acquainted with you, young master, is naturally very small," she said, explaining why she hadn't visited him until now. She added that she was genuinely delighted to meet you here and had momentarily lost her composure, and hoped you wouldn't mind. As she spoke, she smiled, her smile seemingly bewitching, even more radiant than usual.

However, if anyone who knew Tong Qian were here, they would know that there was little sincerity in her smile, let alone any goodwill. On the contrary, it meant that her scheme was about to begin.

Si Chen heard that Tong Qian did not answer his question, but instead said such appropriate words. He knew that he could not say anything too much at this time. Tong Qian had already raised his status enough and given him enough respect. Even if he didn't care about worldly affairs, he couldn't say anything colder.

Besides, she only wanted to ask him some questions. Perhaps it was just a coincidence. Although he could sense the dissatisfaction of some teachers with Tong Qian, he knew in his heart that those old-fashioned people would never give a good look to anyone who stood in their way of getting money.

He admired the young girl quite a bit. Under such circumstances, she was able to create so many prosperous things and prove those old things wrong time and time again. In the process, she also found the best way to make money. What's even more unbelievable is that she was able to expand the amount of money she could make through different channels.

Such courage is something even some men might not possess, and for such a young girl to have such a good sense of propriety is truly admirable. Despite having so many thoughts in her mind, her expression remained calm, and she simply asked:

"Since Miss Tong has already put it this way, I am indeed a little curious. I wonder what Miss Tong wants to talk about? If I can help you answer this, then of course I would be very grateful. If I cannot help you, I hope Miss Tong will not think that I am not knowledgeable enough."
