He then put the profile down with the same looked on his face that was no more than lost in curiosity of those young ladies. He got up " Mother , Xiao Yan , I have to leave now as I have work to do. " he then nodded his head as a bid of farewell. " . Li Xin added another statement " Mother, I cannot just decide to marry someone just by looking at their profile. " He then walked away.

After he left , his mother and his little sister started going through the profiles . They checked carefully as if they were trying to find an evidence to defend themselves. As they went through one person by one , they imagined how would the person acted and whether they were suitable for Li Xin. Out of 20 young ladies only 5 stood out the most in their eyes.

"Mother, how are we going to persuade brother?" Xiao Yan asked. Well, Xiao Yan's mother had planned already on how to persuade his son. "Your mother has already thought of something ." her mother replied. Xiao Yan was curious to know but her mother just told her to see for herself later. "Mother , I will leave first. I'm going out, hope you have an exquisite day." Xiao Yan said.

" Miss, I thought you wanted to rest today." said Zhang Yan's maid which was Xue Li . Zhang Yan answered " I have to filled my mind with something ."

Xue Li asked her young miss what was bothering her. Zhang Yan sighed hopelessly and told Xue Li that in the upcoming days she knew her mother would start to mention about her love life since she was already marriageable. Zhang Yan went inside a cosmetic shop thought into buying some powder but ended up with a empty hand at the exit.

The whole afternoon Zhang Yan was window shopping and wondered if she would meet the love of her life without her choosing someone from her mother's likings. A questionable day for her to suddenly thought about her marriagge .

There was a bustling crowds while Zhang Yan was filled with her thoughts. A sudden loud noise made her shifted her head to where she thought the sound came from.

" Miss, I begged your pardon?" the stranger exclaimed.

Zhang rose her head to see the person clearly. " Never I had met such a fortunate moment !" her eyes was locked by this stranger's charming face.

" Miss, I appreciate your for your honest compliment but I don't think our posture right now is appropriate." the stranger said .

Upon hearing that made Zhang Yan came back to reality and backed off from the stranger " I'm really sorry sir !". She immediately grabbed Xue Li's hand and walked away in embarrassment. Her cheek was red as if she put more blushed than ever.

" Why does your face looks red ,brother ?" stranger 2 said. "Nothing, come on let's go" the stranger replied.

Meanwhile, at Ai Li's , she was suffering . She felt that her wrists was already broken into pieces but still hold as she was desperate to complete it. She knew this challenge would be time consuming and the opposite of entertaining. For the nearly 10 hours , she had only finished 8 in total. This was her maximum limit of writing. She had to take a little break. She looked outside and didn't noticed that the sun had already set.

A maid announced that dinner was ready. The family gathered at the table for dinner. Ai Li's stomach grumbled as she didn't eat anything for lunch. The food was set at the table and so her family started to eat. She was having a hard time to hold her chopsticks together since her whole arms was lacking of energy and pains at the same time.

About the jade pendant has been spoken again. "Master, how are we going to deal with the owner of the pendant? " Bo Qin asked. " There was no any other suspicions that we could conclude that the owner has something to do with the case. " Li Xin explained. Bo Qin then told his master that the owner was still suspicious for him as the place the owner was in did not make sense at all . Out of all places the owner coincidentally was there at that moment of time.

Even though Li Xin had that thought but either way he had worked out a plan. Of course,he wouldn't stick with one thing. That statement did not erased from being a suspicion. "Master, may I asked who is the owner of the have pendant?" Bo Qin asked. Li Xin told him he would knew as soon as the plan has began.

Li Xin target for this was to court young lady Huang ,the owner of the pendant . This plan of action was successfully planned when Li Xin saw young lady Huang's profile that was given for him to viewed at.
