Hidden Master: starting by canceling ten marriage proposals

The girl was a little stunned.

She had not expected Yin Tian to still be in contact with Xia Nianbing!

Xia Nianbing was truly a prominent figure of the Su Family, and in comparison, Su Qinwei could barely compete with her except in looks.

Han Rui swallowed hard, unsure about Yin Tian's actual intentions, and dared not continue mocking him; instead, she turned her gaze back to Qinwei.

"Qinwei, do you still remember the most popular guy from our school? The one a year ahead of us, he came back from abroad just for you."

"Do you know how heartbroken he must be knowing this?"

As she was speaking, the cafe door opened again, and a handsome, tall man walked in.

Yin Tian glanced over and cursed inwardly.

"Damn it..."

"Another rival in love has arrived!!"

The man walked into the cafe, noticing their table immediately, and came over with a smile on his face.

However, Qinwei's expression turned somewhat sour, "Han Rui, why didn't you tell me he's back?"

Han Rui was Su Qinwei's best friend and they were very close.

"I wanted to surprise you..."

Han Rui's face showed an awkward expression, "Who knew that you'd actually bring along an extra 'son-in-law'..."

As the two women talked, the man approached their table.

He was about to greet Su Qinwei with a smile, but abruptly caught sight of a strange man sitting beside her.

"Who is this?"

His tone was not very friendly.

Yin Tian blinked but did not speak; however, Qinwei grabbed his hand without a moment's hesitation.

Then her hand directly clasped Yin Tian's, fingers interlocking.

Yin Tian was taken aback.

Great!

He'd just been turned into a tool again.

"Can't you tell?"

Qinwei's tone was not very friendly, quite unlike her usual self.

The man looked towards Han Rui, his eyes questioning.

Han Rui lowered her head, not knowing how to explain.

But the man then looked back at Su Qinwei, "Qinwei, what does this mean?"

"Can't you see what it means?"

Yin Tian spoke up nonchalantly.

With his personality, how could he possibly be content being just a tool?

"I'm her fiancé, the kind that's about to have a grand wedding."

"Fiancé?"

The man's voice even rose to a sharp pitch, "Qinwei, are you joking with me?"

Su Qinwei's eyebrows furrowed, "Wu Hao, I remember telling you before that it's impossible between the two of us."

"Impossible?"

Wu Hao looked at Su Qinwei with deep affection, "Qinwei, you..."

He had just started to speak when Yin Tian interrupted him brusquely, "Excuse me, could you tone down that look of yours? And don't use that tone of a rejected suitor when talking to my wife."

Wife...

Su Qinwei's pretty face grew even redder, but due to Wu Hao's presence, she found herself unable to erupt in anger.

Even Wu Hao was taken aback by Yin Tian's address, "wife."

Taking a deep breath, Su Qinwei turned to her best friend, Han Rui, "Didn't you say you had some good news to tell me?"

"Now I'm not sure if it still counts as good news..."

Han Rui looked at Su Qinwei guiltily before continuing, "Wu Hao has come back from abroad and heard about your family's situation. He's willing to invest and wants to collaborate with the Su Family... Who would have thought that Qinwei would end up with a freeloading son-in-law..."

"There's no need,"

Yin Tian spoke up without hesitation, "The Su Family's crisis is over. Sorry for the trouble of having you come back all this way from abroad. Now you can book your flight back home; taking off now, it will still be daylight when you get there."

He was calculating with his fingers, "That way, you get an extra day for free. You'd be making a gain."

"What does your freeloading have to do with my dealings with the Su Family?"

Finally losing his patience, Wu Hao spoke in an icy tone, "As a freeloader, you should know your place and how to address me."

"Yin Tian, stop,"

Su Qinwei interjected softly, then looked at Wu Hao, "I appreciate your kind offer, but the matter has passed, and I never considered collaborating with you."

"Qinwei, you must understand that this is mutually beneficial — a strong alliance that could surely take the Su Family to new heights,"

Wu Hao's eyes brimmed with affection, causing Yin Tian to almost retch, "Moreover, I will be good to you, making you the happiest woman.

"No need, I'm quite happy as I am."

Su Qinwei's tone was resolute, leaving no room for turning back.

Wu Hao remained silent, and no emotion could be discerned on his face.

He pulled out a small box from his pocket, his face earnest, "Since that is the case, I won't insist. This is a gift I brought especially for you from abroad; I hope you'll accept it."

As soon as Wu Hao reached into his pocket for the small box, Yin Tian's expression changed.

He had felt that something was off about Wu Hao from the beginning, and now it seemed he was right!

Just as Wu Hao extended the small box towards Su Qinwei, a hand reached in from the side, snatching the box from Wu Hao's hands.

"Let's see what this is..."

As Yin Tian spoke, he had already opened the small box.

Inside, a gemstone necklace lay quietly, the emerald the size of a pigeon's egg glittering under the sunlight.

However, nobody noticed that as the box was opened, an almost invisible small insect flew out, making its shaky way towards Su Qinwei.

And when Wu Hao saw Yin Tian open the box, he also revealed a triumphant smirk.

But just as the little bug began to approach the edge of the box, Yin Tian suddenly snapped the box shut.

By happy coincidence, the edge of the box squashed the little bug right in the middle, killing it instantly.

Wu Hao's expression instantly became incredibly stiff.

Such a coincidence?

That was something he had prepared specially for Su Qinwei!

Yin Tian also noticed Wu Hao's expression, and his lips curled into a smirk.

"Trying to play with poison in front of your brother Tian?"
