Jo Han is looking towards a girl, a truly petite girl. The girl hair is tied neatly with a few hairpins. Her white dress is simple, but gives elegant feeling. The way she walks is steady and dignified causing the man to unable to look away. That one scene has made his desire grow.

"Who's that one?"

Lin Tang face darkens. From all of the girls in the residence, why should he see the person he must never see?

Chun Maora face also grows paler, and she stammered. "It's Third Miss of Lin family."

"Third Miss? I want her."

Lin Tang face grows dark. "No, you can't!"

Third Miss is referring to Jun Hua. She has come out from her quarter to the kitchen, and it's at that moment Jo Han sees her. Jun Hua is wearing a veil as usual, but even with that it's enough to make a person like Jo Han to completely enraptured.

Lin Tang certaintly won't let Jo Han even near Jun Hua. He has already promised Jun Zhenxian to keep her daughter safe. If he suddenly arranges the girl marriages even before the girl reaches the age, that old man would surely turned the capital upside-down. Added with Jun Min, there's possibility that the whole capital would be in chaos in short time. And he as the perpetrator will undoubtedly become the most hated figure.

"Why?" Jo Han is indignant.

"She hasn't reached the age yet, and you're not allowed to get close with her at all!" Lin Tang fumed.

Chun Maora also knows that no matter how much she hated Jun Hua, she cannot make that girl life miserable. With such a backing, she might end up getting hurt as the result even before she could make the girl suffer. So instead, it's better to keep on her good side.

"It's against the tradition to marry the younger sibling before the older one, please understand, Young Master Han."

Jo Han wants to refute, but a single glare from his father shut him for good. Jo Kan smiled apologetically.

"I'm sorry about that. Of course we won't ask for the impossible. Let's proceed with the meeting."

As a merchant, Jo Kan has sharp intuition. Given how badly both Lin Tang and Chun Maora reacted, he believed that the girl identity is not that simple. After getting that point, he remembers that there's indeed one special person in Lin family residence, Jun Hua.

From the rumors, he knows that Jun Hua is a highly beautiful girl, but a useless one. Her performance in the academy is laughable and many noble girls are talking about her 'glorious' experience. She cannot even do the simple things woman could usually do and thus became a laughing stock. However, those girls didn't dare to openly talk about it because there is still Jun Hua brother, Jun Min.

Remembering Jun Min, even Jo Kan doesn't want to have anything to do with him. If his son were to offend that person sister, he didn't dare to imagine what the result will be.

Seeing all of them returned, Lin Yuan stole a glance backwards. Seeing that gaze, Jin Pun hurriedly retreated stealthily. They better returned earlier and Lin Yuan too feel uncomfortable to keep standing in that place.

"Second Sister, I feel tired. I will return first," Lin Yuan excused herself.

Lin San nodded. "Take care of your health, First Sister."

With that Lin Yuan walked towards her quarter and Lin San no longer pay any attention to her. Lin San looks towards the main hall.

"That was truly a surprise," Lin San said. "Let's returned. I don't want to see that face anymore."

As the two of them returned, Jun Hua also comes out from the kitchen after eating a bun. Her calm eyes sweep across the yard and ended in the main hall. That man must have seen her before and switched his attention from Lin Yuan to her.

"The first step has finished," Jun Hua smiled. "Xiao Yun, show me the way return."

Xiao Yun giggled. "Yes Miss."

The Jo family didn't stay in the hall for a long time. Lin Tang and Jo Kan merely discussed the time for their son and daughter wedding before Jo Kan turned back to leave. After going out from the Lin family gate, he looks towards his son.

"Jo Han, don't ever dreamed about that girl you see."

"Why father? I want her. She's so pretty," Jo Han never see a person that beautiful in his whole life. Even though he has seen countless pretty ladies, all of them pale in contrast with the beauty he has seen just now.

"That girl has a special background."

"Isn't she just Lin family Third Miss?" Jo Han stared at his father indignantly.

"She has a different surname from the other girls. Don't you know the name Jun Hua?"

Jo Han eyes widened. "I see, that pretty girl is that useless girl."

"No matter how useless she is, you're not allowed to see her again."

Jo Han pursed his lips. There's no way he's going to back down so easily. Jo Kan reminded his son once more then get into his carriage to leave.

Jo Han certainly doesn't want to return yet, he will spend his days in a place he loves the most. But before that, Jo Han eyed the closed door behind him, he wants to see that beauty once again from a closer distance.

As he's a young master, he has learned martial arts a bit so it won't be hard to sneak inside the residence with avoiding some of the guards. Jo Han eyes wandered around the gate looking for a perfect way to sneak in.
