002 I look like a ghost

"I only want her!"

Four words, arrogant and obsessive.

"I won't marry!"

The girl's voice lazily drifted from the direction of the bay window.

The voice wasn't loud, yet the shock it delivered to everyone was no less than that of Li Hannian.

Three girls turned their faces toward Chu Nanxi in unison, as if staring at an alien monster.

Such a man had set his eyes on her, and she should have been grateful and overwhelmed, yet she said...

Not marry?!

The two brothers and the lady of the Chu Family were anxious and trepidatious as they looked toward Li Hannian on the sofa.

In Jincheng, mentioning the musician Li Hannian might not ring a bell for everyone.

But if you said "Li Family's Little Devil," there was no one who didn't know, no one who wasn't informed.

Rumors had it he was cold-blooded and ruthless, having killed someone at the age of thirteen, only to have it covered up due to his young age and the Li Family's influence.

Rumors had it he was of a violent nature, and a horse he bought that wouldn't obey had its skin flayed the next day to become a specimen in his living room.

Rumors had it that anyone who offended him would be found floating in the Jin River by nightfall.

...

Forget about whom he wanted to marry, even if he had his sights on someone's bride, it was feared that the groom would willingly send over his wife the very same night.

And yet she said "not marry"?!

Li Hannian's raised right foot lightly touched the mahogany floor.

Tap!

The sound of high-end leather shoes hitting the floor was soft, yet it heightened everyone's tension to the maximum.

Seeing him rise from his chair, almost everyone stood up simultaneously.

"Mr. Li, Nanxi is young and naive; please don't take it personally!"

"Yes, Mr. Li, rest assured, we'll deliver her to your mansion tonight!"

...

Ignoring the flattering crowd, Li Hannian strode across the living room to the bay window, towering over and staring intently at Chu Nanxi, who was preoccupied with her cellphone screen and hadn't even looked up.

"Why?"

The man's voice had no harshness; instead, it carried a calm tone laced with an unusual emotion.

Chu Nanxi lifted her left hand and brushed the hair hanging beside her face behind her ear.

As she lifted her hair, it revealed the scar on her left cheek.

A ten-centimeter long scar, like a revolting pink caterpillar, arrogantly sprawled across her delicate skin.

The originally cute and seductive face, with this incongruous mark, suddenly turned loathsome and terrifying.

Her gaze still fixed on the cellphone screen, Chu Nanxi spoke lazily.

"With my ghastly appearance, Mr. Li, would you still find it palatable?"

As she spoke, the "caterpillar" on her face twisted with her expressions.

The girls of the Chu Family turned away in disgust.

Li Hannian's assistant, Han Yilan, also frowned slightly.

From a distance, this young girl looked exceptionally delicate, her features, though somewhat immature, already hinted at devastating beauty.

Plain-faced, in a T-shirt and jeans, she stood out even more than the carefully adorned three Chu sisters.

However, no one expected such a scar.

What a pity!

Withdrawing her hand, Chu Nanxi continued with her game.

"Mr. Li, perhaps you should pick again; I'm not suitable for you!"

Many had been captivated by her beauty, only to be repelled by the scar.

This Mr. Li would likely be no exception.

What followed no longer concerned her; she was at a critical moment in the game, about to secure victory.

If not for the game being at such a crucial moment, she might have been quite eager to see the expression on his face.

Finding the last enemy in the bushes, she grinned, shifting her gun's aim, about to target...

A gentle touch stirred her hair, someone lifting a strand.

Huh?!

Her fingers froze, and she looked up in astonishment.

Before her eyes, a face drew near.
