Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As soon as Jiang Li finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar.

“I just said that the Young Miss of the Jiang family has become more powerful, but now it seems that she’s still a fool… Does she want to marry Ninth Master? Is there something wrong with her brain?”

“How strange. In the entire Sea City, there’s actually a woman who dares to dream about Ninth Master?!”

Everyone knew that the Ninth Master of the Fu family, the youngest son of Old Master Fu, had almost all the advantages of the Fu family.

He was handsome, decisive, wise, and had an iron fist…

However, at the same time, his legs were disabled, and the doctor said that he could only rely on a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

Perhaps it was because of his disability, but rumors said that Ninth Master’s personality was also very sinister and eccentric. It was said that he often abused people around him.

There were also rumors that Ninth Master did not get close to women because he was not good at that aspect..

In short, Fu Jiuxiao was a distant dream for the women of Sea City. Compared to him, Fu Yunze was more approachable.

Although Fu Yunze was not as handsome as Ninth Master, there was nothing wrong with him, was there?

In conclusion, everyone thought that Jiang Li was crazy for wanting to marry Fu Jiuxiao.

Even Old Master Fu, who had just promised with a pat on his chest, started to hesitate.

He really could not control the thoughts of his youngest son.

“Little Li.”

Old Master Fu deliberated and said, “We need to ask Jiuxiao for his opinion on this matter.”

Jiang Man, who was at the side, snorted softly and muttered.

“Can’t you just say it directly?”

Jiang Man had just been publicly rejected to marry into the Fu family and was filled with resentment. She could not help but ridicule, “Will Ninth Master even take a fancy to her?”

Although these words were not pleasant to hear, everyone present deeply agreed.

Old Master Fu looked at Jiang Man indifferently, and in his heart, he disliked this girl even more.

He was also a little embarrassed, but he still smiled and comforted Jiang Li.

“Little Li, don’t be sad. Grandpa will help you ask…”

“No.”

Jiang Li shook her head.

Old Master Fu’s heart sank.

However, Jiang Li’s smile was like a flower, and she walked towards Fu Jiuxiao with light steps. “I’ll ask him myself.”

As she got closer and closer to Fu Jiuxiao, the onlookers could not help but hold their breath.

Oh, God!

This Miss Jiang was really bold!

Did she not see that there was a burly bodyguard standing behind Ninth Master? As long as a stranger came within one meter of Grandpa Jiu, they would be thrown out!

Everyone was waiting to see Jiang Li make a fool of herself.

Three meters, two meters, one meter…

Everyone widened their eyes in surprise.

Jiang Li had already stepped into Ninth Master’s security circle, but the bodyguard did not move at all as if he had not received any orders!

She was not thrown out!

Could it be that the rumors about Ninth Master were all fake?

Jiang Li did not know how much of an impact her actions had caused in the eyes of others.

She propped herself up on her knees and bent down, her gaze level with Fu Jiuxiao’s.

Fu Jiuxiao looked at her expressionlessly.

His eyes were cold, so he looked at everyone with an indescribable coldness. It sent chills down people’s spines, and they did not dare to look him in the eye.

However, Jiang Li was not afraid.

She smiled and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Ninth Master, I have a business deal here. Do you want to do it?”

Fu Jiuxiao’s eyes moved slightly. “Hmm?”

“Marry me for a year.”

Jiang Li met his deep eyes and said her deal word by word. “I will help you find the Beta-type Medicine.”

Beta-type Medicine was a medicine that could cure Fu Jiuxiao’s legs. The Fu family had been searching for it with a lot of money over the years.

This happened to be the direction of her medical team’s research.

The reason why she proposed this deal was actually to return a favor to Fu Jiuxiao. If he was not willing, she would not mind. At most, it would be a little more troublesome this year.

One year was enough for her to reorganize her former power.

Fu Jiuxiao looked at her steadily.

After a long time, just when Jiang Li was getting impatient, he curled his lips slightly. “Okay.”
