Chapter 442: Chapter 442: Do you think I’m better than that man?

Fang Bai saw Qin Yaorao with a look that seemed hard to articulate and laughed, "Teacher Qin, I respect you as both a mentor and a sister. If there’s anything you need help with, just say it directly. I’m just a bit curious, your Qin Family is one of the biggest, most influential families in Jinling City, what could be so problematic for you?"

Qin Yaorao let out a light sigh, a wry, helpless smile creeping over her lips, "If it were anything else, it could easily be resolved, but this matter... it’s a long story!"

She picked up the coffee in front of her and sipped it gently, her movements as graceful as a swan. After a brief silence, she continued, "When I was twelve, my family arranged a marriage for me. At that time, I was clueless, not even aware of what had happened..."

An arranged marriage at twelve?

Fang Bai was at a loss for words. The Qin Family was a prestigious clan, and they arranged a marriage for Qin Yaorao at twelve; were they worried she wouldn’t be able to marry when she grew up?

But then again, it wasn’t uncommon for Huaxia’s wealthy and prominent clans to arrange marriages between their children for the sake of family interests.

Among the people Fang Bai knew, Tang Wenrou, Ye Wumei, and Xia Chenyu had all been set up by their families for matchmaking with offspring from other wealthy clans, but each of these arrangements fell through because of Fang Bai’s, the "third party’s," interference.

Because of these incidents, Fang Bai had attracted quite a bit of resentment and made a fair number of enemies.

"Yesterday, a bunch of people suddenly came to my house and had a long talk with my parents in private. It was only later that I learned from my mother that they came to propose marriage. That was the moment I realized that my family had already decided on my lifelong affair..."

"At the time, I found it inconceivable. How could such a thing happen in this day and age? Heartbroken, I ran into my room and cried my eyes out. Later, my mother tried to console me, saying that this man I had never met was an outstanding man..."

At this point, a mocking smile appeared on Yaorao’s lips as she went on, "Later I met that man, and he really was outstanding. Tall and handsome, with a graceful demeanor, he perfectly fit the image of a Prince Charming in a girl’s mind..."

Fang Bai interjected, "With your personality, you must resist this arrangement made by your family, and hence, felt repelled by that man, right?"

Qin Yaorao nodded, "That’s right, without any emotional foundation, no matter how outstanding the man is, I cannot accept him."

Fang Bai said, "Haven’t you tried to interact with that man, to see if the two of you could get along?"

"I have."

Qin Yaorao said, "In the past two days, I’ve met with that man three times. He’s only thirty this year, yet he already manages several big businesses successfully. Plus, he comes from an Ancient Martial family and is a formidable martial artist. My father can only manage a draw with him..."

Fang Bai laughed, "I’ve heard that the Qin Family isn’t just a scholarly family, but also part of the Ancient Martial world. Uncle Qin’s strength must be remarkable, shouldn’t it?"

Qin Yaorao shook her head, "I don’t understand ancient martial arts, whether it’s remarkable or not is beyond me. My father said he’s a Profound Level martial artist in the initial stage, considered a first-class expert in the Secular Ancient Martial World; however, he’s still a lot behind the top experts."

Fang Bai said cheerfully, "Uncle Qin is being modest. A Profound Level initial stage martial artist is quite remarkable!"

Qin Yaorao said, "That man being able to match my father indicates his own strength. Furthermore, my father says that the man reaching Profound Level in his thirties shows he’s a rare talent, destined to be a top expert in the Ancient Martial World someday."

Fang Bai nodded; a thirty-year-old Profound Level Martial Artist in the Secular Ancient Martial World was indeed rare, and to call him a "genius" wasn’t an exaggeration.

"According to my parents’ wishes, marrying that man would give the Qin Family a strong ally in Huaxia, ensuring greater security for our family interests. Most members of our Qin Family are also very supportive of this marriage!"

"If that man is so outstanding, why won’t you agree?"

Fang Bai asked, puzzled.

From Qin Yaorao’s expression and the words she used, Fang Bai could guess that she was strongly opposed to the arranged marriage.

"First, I’m already an adult; I do not wish for my parents to control my life decisions, so I’ve developed a rebellious attitude. Second, I cannot accept that man’s personality..."

Qin Yaorao smiled mockingly and said, "Not only is that man arrogant, but he’s also narcissistic. He thinks whatever he says or does is right, everyone should revolve around him, not tolerating any dissent... I’ve only met him three times, but there were several times I felt the urge to slap him across the face!"

Fang Bai managed a dumbstruck smile, thinking that the man must be incredibly arrogant and narcissistic for Qin Yaorao, with her intelligent and elegant demeanor, to say such a thing.

"If you agree, I could secretly teach that man a lesson and then threaten him to call off the marriage. What do you think?"

Fang Bai offered his suggestion with all seriousness, believing that forcing the man to cancel the marriage with his methods would be quite simple.

"That’s definitely not possible!"

Qin Yaorao shook her head quickly.

Fang Bai shrugged and said, "Then you tell me what to do! You were so eager to have me come over, it must be because of this, right?"

Qin Yaorao, looking troubled, said, "That man’s parents want my parents to give them a response early tomorrow morning, and my parents are pressing me hard. How could I not be anxious! I really had no other choice, that’s why I turned to you..."

Fang Bai asked, "How can I help you?"

Qin Yaorao’s eyes intently fixed on Fang Bai’s face, her cheeks suddenly a tad red, she whispered, "After I expressed my opposition to my parents, my dad said... said that if I can find a man more outstanding than him, he would help me call off the marriage..."

Fang Bai caught Qin Yaorao’s unusual gaze and contemplated her words. Suddenly understanding, he pointed to his own nose and said, "You mean... you want me to pretend to be your boyfriend for a while and mess up this marriage?"

"Out of respect for our teacher-student relationship... Fang Bai, I’m begging you! I know this is difficult for you, but... I really have no other choice! Don’t worry, once the marriage is called off, I’ll explain everything to my parents..."

Qin Yaorao was resorting to this as a last resort, truly not wanting to have any connection with that arrogant and narcissistic man, otherwise, she could be miserable and depressed for a lifetime.

"You think I’m better than that man?"

Fang Bai asked with a wry smile.

Qin Yaorao nodded and said, "Of course! The last time my second uncle almost had a conflict with you, he said afterward that you must be much more powerful than my father. So that man is definitely not your match!"
