"A man?" Qu Xing Xu was slightly surprised, "Why are you looking for a man?"

Lin Xiaofei was silent. She didn\'t tell him immediately as she thought of how she could convey her problem to him.

When her grandfather has been bothering her with the selections of eligible bachelors, Lin Xiaofei was annoyed at it. She already told him that he doesn\'t have to worry about it since she has some other plans.

Truth be told, Lin Xiaofei never had any plans to get married to anyone since she had some other plans.

After taking this body, she planned to dedicate her life to the path of revenge and not on anything else.. However, considering that Lin Xiaomeng was not an enemy and someone that could be of the same equivalent to a life-saving charm, Lin Xiaofei naturally wouldn\'t try to go against him.

Besides, marrying someone wouldn\'t be all too bad if she could get something from it. For example, an alibi or a scapegoat.

If things come to worst, she could easily give up her husband and everything to bring down others.

"As you have already heard from your subordinates, I broke my engagement with the Chu family\'s Di son. As an unwed young lady, I must find an eligible man for me to marry." Lin Xiaofei smiled without a care in the world.

Usually, when a young lady from a good family had her engagement broken, they wouldn\'t even have the face to come out and they would only hide from the public. Not only that, but they would also wish they could take their own life from the embarrassment and since their engagement was broken, they will be the second legal wife if they came from a high ranking family once they get married to someone, and if they came from a lower family, they will have to swallow their pride and be a Yiniang or tongfang.* (Yiniang: concubine) (Tongfang: lowest rank in a concubine.)

Considering that Lin Xiaofei was the fourth miss of the Lin family, her status was comparable to a Junzhu*, and having her engagement broken was something that would be quite a controversy that could destroy her future. (Junzhu: A princess of a lower rank than the actual princess who was the daughter of the emperor and/or the title given to a daughter of a first-rank prince.)

It was quite a surprise that she would bring up the topic of finding a man as her marriage partner to a stranger or a business partner.

Qu Xing Xu took a minute to look at her. Her face that was not covered with a veil was blindingly beautiful but the expression on her face was placid and the smile she showed didn\'t even reach her eyes.

He realized that the young girl in front of him was not bothered or angered by the fact that her engagement fell through.

He heard of the rumors that the Chu family took an action first and went to the Lin family to break the engagement, however, after hearing her, he felt that it was not the case.

Walking towards her, Qu Xing Xu clasped his hands behind his back, "Miss, my Hong Pei Lou isn\'t a matchmaking business and I\'m too busy to branch out or create another business like that. I cannot help you with your problem."

"Then treat it as if I never ask you of this," she said as she watched him walk closer to her, "However, I wonder if manager Li has a list of names of a high ranking bachelor in the capital."

"A list isn\'t that hard to acquire. However, I\'m sure Great General Lin must have already listed out some for you to choose from." Qu Xing Xu replied.

Knowing how much Lin Xiaomeng doted on his granddaughter, Qu Xing Xu was sure that he would be the first one to have looked for a list of eligible men for his granddaughter to marry.

And yet, his granddaughter seems to think otherwise and has reached out to others to look for her future husband.

Lin Xiaofei nodded her head at him and was relieved that his answer was not a refusal.

"Then, I trust that manager Li will be able to make a list by the time I come around. And also, it would be great if you could only list down the men that have exceeded the age of 40 to 60."

Qu Xing Xu frowned when she heard the latter half of her words. He had not expected her to mention the specifics of what type of marriage partner she was looking for.

"You want an old man to be your husband?" Qu Xing Xu said in disbelief.

"Yes." Was her simple reply.

"Are you out of your mind?" Qu Xing Xu snapped. He never heard of any young lady of her age that desires to marry a man who was older than her.

Lin Xiaofei scrunched up her eyebrows and looked at him, "I don\'t understand what Manager Li is saying. I can assure you that my mind is sound."

"Then, why would you want an old man to be your husband? General Lin wouldn\'t allow it unless he dies." Qu Xing seriously said with a grim look.

Lin Xiaofei laughed and said, "What\'s so different if one were to marry a young man and older man? I would still be married over regardless of the age of the husband. And as for my grandfather, I don\'t think he has many options right now."

Lin Xiaomeng would even dare to meet the heavenly son and ask the Chu family to change their decision to break off the engagement and force them to accept the marriage. Surely, if eligible high ranking official appears to ask her hand for marriage, Lin Xiaomeng won\'t make a fuss and accept it, right?

Lin Xiaofei thought it like this, but she didn\'t know that the affection of Lin Xiaomeng towards his granddaughter was as tall as the sky and earth and if she were to present an older man as her marriage partner, he would challenge that man to death and behead him in front of everyone else.
