Chapter 1452: Formal Diplomatic Ties! The Second Wedding!

"Ah~"

"You're General Su?"

Qin Xiaoxiao's mouth fell wide open, staring at Su Yang in utter astonishment.

When she had just sat down, she had indeed noticed Su Yang, but she simply could not connect him with "General Su."

In her view, a general should be someone who had spent half a lifetime on the battlefield, was two or three hundred years old, and was a distinguished Imperial-grade—or even Emperor-grade—Beast Tamer!

"I really am that General Su you speak of!" Su Yang said helplessly. "But I need to correct one thing—I am not three hundred years old, not even thirty yet."

To be honest, being rejected by Qin Xiaoxiao did sting Su Yang just a tiny bit.

But once he learned the reason, that little unhappiness faded away.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, General Su!" Qin Xiaoxiao hurriedly apologized. "It was my fault, I was guessing wildly!"

By this time, Qin Xiaoxiao had already come to her senses.

She had realized that she seemed to have said something she shouldn't have.

Refusing outright the marriage Qin Longyun had arranged for her—if Qin Longyun got angry, their entire clan would be punished!

Besides, Su Yang was nothing like what she had imagined!

Right now her heart was nervous to death, scared to death, ashamed to death!

Gong Qin smiled and said, "Xiaoxiao, now that you've met General Su, will you still refuse?"

Qin Xiaoxiao hung her head, her brain boiled into a single mushy paste.

A blush crept across her little face; she had no idea how to answer.

To refuse—she had to admit she couldn't bear to.

This General Su was not even thirty, far younger and more handsome than she had imagined!

It wasn't that she was boy-crazy; she knew perfectly well she could not refuse Qin Longyun's decision!

Being able to marry such a young, handsome man, whose strength was probably quite decent too—she seemed to have gotten incredibly lucky.

At least far better than those royal sisters who had married old men!

But asking her to answer "I do"—she was a little shy!

Gong Qin looked at Qin Xiaoxiao's blushing face and said with a smile, "No answer means you agree by default!"

Qin Xiaoxiao raised her head, stole a glance at Gong Qin, then quickly lowered it again, not daring to look at Su Yang.

"Emmmm… she nodded!" Gong Qin looked toward Su Yang and asked, "Then it's settled!"

Su Yang nodded: "Alright!"

For the marriage alliance, as long as Qin Xiaoxiao didn't reject it, that was enough.

Feelings would just have to be cultivated slowly over time.

As for that nonsense about not marrying without love, Su Yang wasn't that melodramatic.

He wasn't some good man anyway!

"That's good then!"

Qin Longyun instructed, "Chen Huan, take Xiaoxiao to rest for a bit—she seems a little embarrassed."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that Qin Xiaoxiao hadn't caused any more trouble, Qin Longyun was relieved.

As long as Qin Xiaoxiao married Su Yang according to plan, Qin Longyun couldn't possibly blame her.

After all, from then on she would be Su Yang's woman!

After Su Yang left with Xia Na, he asked Qin Longyun to send someone to show him around Qingluan City.

Qin Longyun naturally agreed, and dispatched Chen Huan as their guide.

Afterwards, Qin Longyun and Gong Qin summoned Qin Xiaoxiao again, re-emphasized the clan's mission to her, told her some things about Su Yang and the Huaxia Federation, and made clear to her what important significance Su Yang held for the Qingluan Kingdom—just in case Qin Xiaoxiao acted foolishly later on!

After hearing of Su Yang's deeds, when Qin Xiaoxiao walked out of the imperial palace, her whole person was dumbfounded!

In other words, her future husband was no three-hundred-year-old geezer, but a young, handsome big brother; her future husband had no grandchildren clinging to his knees, and certainly not more than ten wives?

What she had feared most was gone!

Qin Xiaoxiao let out a long breath, feeling that even her steps were light and airy.

Barely out of his twenties, yet possessing the strength to rival the number-one expert of the Qin Luan Kingdom…

He was even stronger than the Prince Charming of her dreams!

A political marriage, yet finding a man like General Su—Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't help sighing inwardly at her own luck.

As for the matter of Su Yang already having one wife, she knew about that too.

But she didn't mind!

Even her own father had more than ten wives.

One wife was already very few, wasn't it!

"It's just like a dream!"

Once the palace compound was out of sight, Qin Xiaoxiao walked faster and faster, walked more and more happily, and finally simply broke into a run.

"Xiaoxiao, why are you running?"

Just at that moment, Qin Xiaoxiao heard Qin Ningshuang's voice.

"Sister Ningshuang!"

Qin Xiaoxiao plunged straight into Qin Ningshuang's arms, hugging her tightly.

Qin Ningshuang patted Qin Xiaoxiao's head and comforted her softly: "Don't worry! Even after you marry over there, you won't suffer. After all, this marriage was personally granted by His Majesty; no matter how bad the other party's temper, he wouldn't possibly treat you poorly."

"No, Sister Ningshuang, the one I'm marrying isn't the one you mean!"

"Then who is it?"

"An older brother under thirty!"

"Huh?" Qin Ningshuang froze. "Does our Qingluan Nation really have a Su General under thirty?"

"He isn't the General of Qingluan Nation!"

"Then which nation is he from?"

"This... is classified!" Qin Xiaoxiao shook her head apologetically. "Your Majesty ordered me not to tell you yet."

"So mysterious?"

"That man—you've actually met him!"

"When?"

"The one who jumped onto the stands on our first sparring day!"

"So it was him!"

Qin Ningshuang suddenly understood.
