Chapter 22 – As for a Wife, It'll Be You

After dinner, Ye Junpo went out to handle the aftermath, while Ye Yunxi soaked herself in the bathtub, easing her sore body.

A fitness value of 1 proved that today’s long-distance run had been useful.

It seemed she still needed to keep training.

Meanwhile, at the Ye Family Estate.

Ye Jianxing flipped through this year’s list of members for the Emperor’s Sword. Starting from the highest-ranking Di Family down to the last-place Helian Family, there were over a hundred families—but not a single one from the Ye Family!

They still hadn’t made it in this year!

“Uncle!”

Ye Junlai stood respectfully before the old man.

“The Ye Family’s Heir must be decided now, or we’ll never squeeze into the Emperor’s Sword.”

Ye Jianxing said indifferently, “I heard that during this exercise, Wanting placed last and even broke a leg?”

It was just a middle school-level exercise—something so simple, yet she still broke a leg. Could Ye Wanting really handle the position of Head of the Ye Family?

“Uncle, it was an accident!”

Ye Junlai said urgently, “You know Wanting’s abilities. Among the younger generation of the Ye Family, she’s the best.”

Ye Jianxing waved his hand. “Wait another two years. The young ones aren’t of age yet. The succession of the Head must wait until adulthood.”

Seeing this, Ye Junlai said no more. As for the fact that Ye Yunxi had broken his daughter’s leg, he wouldn’t utter a single word about it!

“Yes, Uncle. But no matter how long we wait, trash will always be trash, and talent will always be talent.”

With that, Ye Junlai turned and left, leaving Ye Jianxing behind, lost in thought.

Meanwhile, at the Di Estate.

The Di Family’s Lao Yezi had spread the table with matchmaking photographs. Any one of them could be picked at random—each was a stunningly beautiful Young Miss, and their family backgrounds were impressively solid.

Pushing these photos toward Di Junxie, Lao Yezi said, “Our Di Family has always done everything early. You’re already this age, yet you haven’t even settled on a marriage partner. Your father had his marriage arranged when he was still in elementary school!”

The Di Family’s rule was to do everything ahead of time.

So, no matter what, he had to force Di Junxie to choose someone!

The Young Emperor merely glanced at the photos before turning and heading upstairs, completely uninterested.

These women were like flies swarming around meat when they saw him, buzzing incessantly.

He didn’t want to be around these women, but there was one exception.

Thinking of the woman on the exercise field who, wearing only her underwear, could still laugh with such arrogance and ease, Di Junxie curled the corner of his mouth and opened his wardrobe.

All his clothes were gone, replaced by a pile of women’s matchmaking photos, complete with their measurements, weight, and family backgrounds.

Di Junxie: ……

Slamming the door shut, he pulled back the covers—even the bedsheet was covered in matchmaking photos.

Damn it!

Di Junxie’s expression turned exceptionally grim. Just then, Lao Yezi’s voice drifted in from the doorway.

“This month, I want to see my granddaughter-in-law. Otherwise…”

Lao Yezi’s eyes gleamed.

Otherwise, I’ll plaster these photos wherever you go!!

“Understood.”

Di Junxie frowned, his handsome, bewitching face tinged with a hint of ferocity.

But Lao Yezi was pleased. Since he said “understood,” it meant Di Junxie had taken it to heart. It seemed this month, he might finally get to see his granddaughter-in-law. He wondered which family’s daughter it would be!

Only after Lao Yezi left did Di Junxie loosen his collar and sit down in a chair.

He wasn’t afraid of Lao Yezi—he just found it annoying.

But, Ye Yunxi…Di Junxie took a deep breath, the graceful figure in his mind lingering persistently.

She was the only woman he didn’t dislike. Let it be her!

When his dark eyes lifted, the coldness within transformed into a bewitching playfulness.

This time, let’s see if you can still escape!
