The CEO's Woman

Chapter 483 - Main Wife

"Master!" Butler Gregory ran towards Li Qiang, trying to catch up to his quick strides towards the back of the palace.

"Stop following me around." Li Qiang calmly said. "Just present the gift to the general. Tell him you are my representative."

"Master, that is not possible. That is like an insult to the Old General," the butler whispered, seemingly afraid that someone will hear them. "That will earn the ire of the Old General." He added.

General Wang was known for his quick temper. He is quiet and cold. He does not have second thoughts in killing anyone just to protect this kingdom. Because of this, many people feared him. It was said that the Old General would not even cower in front of the king. In this kingdom, he is the only person who could say no to the king himself.

Rumor has it that he was even more powerful than the king himself. Some say that the king even feared him. The Old General was a hero, and many people love him. Because of this, the king was a little jealous that the old general had during the past years. It was said that this was the reason why the king sent the old general to guard the borders with his Eldest daughter.

However, who would have thought that this would not affect the old general’s fame? Butler Gregory sighed inwardly. Judging on the king’s ruthless character, he would not allow such a thing to continue.

The sound of chatters and peals of laughter brought Butler Gregory back from his stupor. To his surprise, Li Qiang was no longer walking in front of him. Butler Gregory immediately roamed his eyes in the sea of nobles in front of him. With Li Qiang’s height, it should be easy for the butler to spot him. He frowned when he failed to see the Duke.

Where could Li Qiang go?

Meanwhile, Li Qiang was calmly peeling a gr.a.p.e as he sat on the branch of a tree. He eyed the confused Gregory a few tens of meters away from him and chuckled. Since he started practicing his internal, Li Qiang had seen the impossible.

His body had become lighter, faster. He might not be able to use any elements, but he was absolutely confident that he could easily defeat anyone with just his speed alone.

Li Qiang ate the gr.a.p.e before he went down and started walking towards the library of the palace. The banquet won’t start in another thirty minutes or so and Li Qiang was not in the mood to talk to other nobles who only wanted to ridicule him. Li Qiang fears that he might not have the strength to control himself and cut someone’s tongue out of anger.

"Isn’t that Duke Li?"

"He seemed to have gotten even more good looking."

Li Qiang turned his head towards the group of women approaching his way. He examined each of them and sigh inwardly. Everyone in the kingdom knew that kind of man he is. However, for some reason, women still approached him. Was it because he was a Duke? Disgust flashed in his eyes as he quickens his pace to avoid them. He can’t actually kill someone in this place and risk dirtying his all-white suit. He didn’t bring a change of clothing, so for Li Qiang, a speck of blood in his suit is a big problem.

After spending some time in the library, Li Qiang decided it is time to attend the banquet. Li Qiang knew that he was already late. He also knew that this will earn the wrath of the Old General. Li Qiang thought that he could further use this opportunity to convince the king that he had indeed lost his mind. Of course, he was not planning to overdo it either.

"Ah, look! The Duke is coming!"

"He is late. If the Old General sees..."

"A good show is coming."

Li Qiang snorted as he heard their whispers. He eyed the king on the stage, and suddenly his eyes widened. Li Qiang quickly lowered his head before looking at the King’s direction again. Was he hallucinating?

Li Qiang felt his heart race, his throat constricted as he halted his steps and stared at the woman wearing a white cape a few feet away from the king. Li Qiang shook his head and close his eyes. Maybe he was hallucinating... how could Wang Ruo—

Li Qiang’s thoughts halted. If this world had a Li Qiang, then... was it possible that it will also have a Wang Ruo? Logic says that it is very possible. But the odds of meeting one is too low. Li Qiang opened his eyes and looked at the woman again. This time, he met her eyes.

It was gray. The same gray that Wang Ruo had. Li Qiang did not even realize that he held his breath until he heard the king called out his name.

"Ahhh... The Duke is finally here!" Li Qiang blinked as he eyed the King. "My dear brother..." the king laughed. "Come, come, join us."

Li Qiang only nodded in response. He felt as if a massive boulder was dump inside his head. On the outside, Li Qiang looked stern and serious. He balled his hands into a fist as he tried to avoid looking at the woman who was silently watching him from her seat.

"Your highness," Li Qiang bowed, earning a few gasps from the nobles. It was already known in the Kingdom how Li Qiang never call his brother your highness or give him a bow. "General Wang," Li Qiang also gave the older man a small bow, earning another round of gasps and murmur from the crowd.

"See?" the king nudged the frowning General beside him. "I told you, my brother is a changed man." He lifted his chin and let out another laugh. Anyone could see how proud the king was of Li Qiang’s rumored changes.

"Ah, let me introduce you to... Lady Wang." The King gestured towards the woman wearing an armor suit and a white cape. "This is the General’s eldest daughter, Lady Wang Ruoyun. She is a warrior and she... my dear brother is also your future main wife."
