Reborn In The Three Kingdoms

Chapter 80: Marriage Alliance?

Wang Yun: "Yes they have, They ask me for advice to please both factions and they are generally the type of people who see work as more important than socializing and that's why I also protect them as they are the backbone of why the Imperial Court is still functioning to this day."

Lie Fan: "I see, then do you think Master Wang Yun can invite these people to meet me the day after our meeting with Uncle Zhu Jun and the others at Master Wang Yun's estate?"

Wang Yun: "Of Course, let me send some letters to them after this. Governor Lie can rest assured that they will come especially for the chance to meet you as for them you are the same as them a neutral official but with more power and can socialize."

Lie Fan nods his head, Jia Xu and Xun You at the side ask Wang Yun about some of the quirks or personalities of some of the officials that will come when suddenly Diao Chan and her personal maids enter the main hall bringing some tea.

Lie Fan sees Diao Chan and is attracted by the more mature and beautiful complexion after he last met her a year ago, Lie Fan and Diao Chan's eyes meet together and both can see the fascination and admiration from both eyes.

Diao Chan serves the tea for Lie Fan while her personal maids serve the tea for his retinue, Lie Fan is attracted by how beautiful Diao Chan is but he knows that this feeling is only fascination and he doesn't want to get close to other women only because they are beautiful as that can bring his own downfall in the future just like Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu fallen to the beauty trap.

Diao Chan while pouring the tea can see the admiration in Lie Fan's eyes but deep she can see that Lie Fan doesn't have the perversion gaze other people have when they see her and Lie Fan even takes his gaze back to continue talking with Wang Yun.

She began to feel more curious about Lie Fan, a young man with a high position and power who acted with prudence without a sense of superiority opposite of nearly all Young Noble in Luoyang she meets who were arrogant and self-righteous with the position and power their parents have not their own.

Diao Chan and the maids after pouring the tea stand back behind the person they poured, Lie Fan sees something wrong with the way Wang Yun's eyes look like it was glowing with craftiness.

Wang Yun: "Then this is the only reason that Governor Lie came here to my house? To ask how is the mood condition of the neutral officials and scheduling a meeting to meet them?"

Lie Fan: "Yes, is there something that Master Wang Yun wanted to discuss with me?"

Wang Yun: "Haha yes I do, but I don't know if Your Advisors can give us some privacy?"

Jia Xu, Xun You, and Sun Qian look at each other with suspicion in their eyes, While Wang Yun is an important part of their plans and can be considered close friends they have decided to cut off Wang Yun if he ever grows berserk.

Lie Fan: "Oh? There's no need for them to leave, Master Wang Yun can just talk openly here among trusted people."

Wang Yun: "We'll then, how does Governor Lie think of my adopted daughter Diao Chan?"

All the people in the room were shocked, Jia Xu Xun You and Sun Qian immediately knew the true purpose of Wang Yun saying this but the benefits that Lie Fan received from marrying Diao Chan except for having a beautiful wife Lie Fan received nothing else worth it while Wang Yun will receive all kinds of benefit.

Diao Chan was in a bit of a dilemma, she was both happy and angry at Wang Yun. Marrying a man like Lie Fan that handsome, powerful, and respects boundaries with women just like what Lie Fan has shown but this is not the way she wants to be done.

She wanted to know Lie Fan a bit more and confirm the feelings she felt toward Lie Fan whether it was liking or just curiosity. She could feel the gaze coming from everyone in the room except Lie Fan and began to blush.

Lie Fan was so surprised that he didn't respond to Wang Yun for a while he is not experienced enough in dealing with old foxes but that doesn't mean he can't know what other intentions there are behind some words.

He would lie if he said that he didn't feel happy that he could marry Diao Chan but he didn't like what expectations Wang Yun had that followed from the marriage.

Lie Fan: "Master Wang Yun, Miss Diao Chan is one of the most beautiful and graceful ladies I have ever met but why do you suddenly ask this question?"

Wang Yun: "Haha! I feel that Governor Lie already knows what I meant! How do you feel about marrying my adopted daughter Diao Chan and bringing our family closer?"

Lie Fan: "I'm honored that Master Wang Yun sees me in such high regard that Master Wang Yun considering marrying Miss Diao Chan to me but as Master Wang Yun knows the position of my Main Wife has been reserved ."

Wang Yun: "My Adopted Daughter is more suited to become your main wife, she has the upbringing and background that are far more suited to become your main wife! I'm not saying that Miss Ying Yue is bad and unsuitable for you but her upbringing and background are not worthy of becoming the main wife of a Governor."

Lie Fan who hears that becomes so angry that he slams the table shocking everyone, While he understands the importance of the background and upbringing a woman needs to marry he is disgusted by the way Wang Yun is trying to make their relationship closer

For him, Ying Yue will become his main wife as she accompanies him and always understands never to throw a tantrum when he doesn't give her much attention because of the things needs to do.

Ying Yue already feels undeserving of being with him which makes him heartache, He finally pushes her out of the mindset that makes her feel unworthy of being with him, and if this was heard by her Lie Fan doesn't know what would happen to YingYue'se psychology.

Lie Fan: "What do you mean that she doesn't deserve the position of my main wife?! I have considered you a close family friend due to the relationship you have with my father and who you helped me, but don't you ever say that she is unworthy of becoming my main wife!"

Everyone in the room sees Lie Fan angry for the first time, Jia Xu and the others know that Wang Yun has touched the dragon's reverse scale. Wang Yun was furious to be treated that way but he understood Lie Fan's actions in doing so.

Diao Chan on the other hand like Lie Fan more because of this, she can be considered a close friend of Ying Yue since the banquet and she will feel disgusted and hate Lie Fan if he agrees to her becoming the main wife while Ying Yue becomes the 2nd.

Wang Yun: " *ahem* I understand that you're angry Governor Lie and I apologize for the words that I said but it's the truth."

Lie Fan: "I don't care what kind of prestige or benefits the woman that I cherished and decided to marry brought for me, I can accomplish that myself! Unfortunately, I have to decline this union as I don't want to make Miss Diao Chan feel forced and reluctant to marry me."

Wang Yun: "Diao Chan do you feel forced to marry Governor Lie, Aren't you interested in Governor Lie?"

Lie Fan who heard that turned his head and his eyes began to observe Diao Chan's exquisite facial expression to see if what Wang Yum said was true.

Diao Chan felt the burning stare Lie Fan was giving her and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated faster than before flustering her and making her blush.

Diao Chan: "Father, while it's true that I'm interested in Governor Lie but I don't want to marry Governor Lie if Sister Yue's position is taken by me. I hope that Father can reconsider this."

After Diao Chan finished saying that Lie Fan who observed Diao Chan saw the looks of attraction in Diao Chan's eyes and he felt relieved that Diao Chan also supported Ying Yue so he began to admire her personality and for the first time other women than Ying Yue make his heart feels curious.

Wang Yun: "*sigh* If that's how Chan'er thinks then Father follow what you want, Let's reconsider this union at a later date when Governor Lie feels to bring it up. I also apologize for the words that I said beforehand"

Lie Fan: "It's okay I understand Master Wang Yun's intention but I hope this will not happen again in the future."

Lie Fan can see that Wang Yun compromises with the situation and takes a step back, he is also surprised that Wang Yun takes a step back due to Diao Chan which is very rare in this era when the daughter's opinion is heard except the father dotes and love his daughter too much.

Jia Xu: "Then I think I can say that our discussion has ended?"

Lie Fan: "Yes it has, thank you Master Wang Yun for your hospitality today and I'm sorry for shouting at you before."

Wang Yun waves his hand to tell Lie Fan that he understands and is not offended even though he was a bit offended but he should swallow the bitter pill rather than destroy the relationship between them.

Lie Fan and His retinue stand up and say goodbye to Wang Yun and Diao Chan, Lie Fan leads his retinue to leave Wang Yun's Main Hall when suddenly he hears Diao Chan calling for him saying that she have something to talk about with him
