That wasn't even the most important part. The key was that this handsome guy was a rich second-generation heir! If she weren't already married, Sun Yan probably wouldn't have been able to control herself and would have started pursuing him immediately!

"I'm just a minor director at my workplace, nothing too important. I only make about a million or so a year!" Gao Wuchang feigned nonchalance, but the pride in his eyes was unmistakable as he spoke. "Of course, aside from that, I have other sources of income. The money I make from consulting and other side jobs is far more than my salary!"

His gaze continuously swept over the beautiful woman sitting opposite him.

This woman's skin was so fair, and her figure was absolutely perfect. Her looks, her body, and especially her aura... He was captivated from the very first glance!

Gao Wuchang had originally thought that with his abilities and status, winning this woman over would be a piece of cake. However, he never expected Wei Zixuan to show no interest in him at all. This so-called blind date was entirely Sun Yan's wishful matchmaking; Wei Zixuan hadn't even known about it beforehand. Now that the two were sitting opposite each other, the atmosphere was palpably awkward.

Wei Zixuan kept looking away. As a married woman, she certainly couldn't sit here and discuss matters of marriage so brazenly.

"Young Master Gao… I seem to recall hearing that someone in your family holds an important position in the Martial Arts Association, right?" Sun Yan seized the opportunity to ask. At the same time, she covertly tugged on Wei Zixuan's sleeve, signaling her to make an effort.

A man of Young Master Gao's stature isn't easy to come by. With such excellent prospects, this is an opportunity that can't be missed!

Gao Wuchang smiled casually, the smugness on his face growing even more pronounced. "I won't lie to you. My uncle is the president of the Martial Arts Association."

"But he's usually too busy. He's either accompanying city leaders, dining with elite families, or handling security details on the side. Even I have a hard time getting a chance to see him!"

"Your uncle is the president of the Martial Arts Association?" Sun Yan's eyes widened, practically glowing with excitement. "I had no idea your family was so influential!"

In recent years, the association's status had been on the rise, becoming an organization everyone aspired to join. Due to its unique nature, the benefits were said to be many times better than those of a typical civil servant. However, one couldn't get in simply through connections; the requirements were incredibly strict.

"Young Master Gao," Sun Yan began to boast, her spit flying, "our Zi Xuan is exceptionally talented. She's an overseas returnee with a brilliant academic record! Back in school, she had so many admirers they could have formed a line that stretched beyond the campus gates!"

And she wasn't exaggerating. Wei Zixuan had been a renowned campus belle back in the day, with admirers galore.

"Oh, I believe it," Gao Wuchang said, completely satisfied with the blind date. "In fact, I was captivated by Miss Zi Xuan's graceful aura the moment I saw her. Miss Zi Xuan, it's almost time for dinner. Why don't we go out for a meal?"

Wei Zixuan, however, furrowed her brow. She slowly turned to look at Gao Wuchang and said calmly, "I'm terribly sorry… Mr. Gao, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed. I can't join you for a meal, because I'm a married woman."

"What did you say? You're married?" Gao Wuchang was stunned.

Sun Yan's face stiffened beside them. She had repeatedly warned Zi Xuan not to tell the truth. Even though Zi Xuan is an excellent catch, her value on the marriage market plummets the moment people know she's married. What powerful man would be willing to pursue a woman who has already been married?

"Miss Zi Xuan..." Gao Wuchang suddenly laughed. "You can't be just saying that as an excuse, right?"

"That's alright, we can take our time getting to know each other," he continued with utter pride. "We have all the time in the world. I'm confident that once you truly get to know me, you'll fall hopelessly in love with me!" As he spoke, he reached for Wei Zixuan's hand.

"Mr. Gao, I will say this one more time: I have a husband," Wei Zixuan said, pulling her hand back sharply. Her voice was stern. "He is currently in Yunshan, and he is a soldier."

Instantly, Gao Wuchang's expression turned grim, and he furrowed his brow. "Miss Zi Xuan… are you playing me? Since you're already married, why did you agree to a blind date with me?"

"Young Master Gao, please let me explain!" Sun Yan shot to her feet. "It's true that Zi Xuan is married, but it was only due to family pressure. There are no feelings between them! Besides, her husband is just a worthless soldier; he's completely unworthy of our Zi Xuan! She came to Jiangnan specifically to get away from that good-for-nothing. They'll be getting a divorce very soon!"

Hearing this, Gao Wuchang's expression softened slightly, though his interest had clearly waned. "I see…"

It was a known fact that no matter how impressive a woman was, her value was halved once she'd been married. The thought naturally soured his mood.

"In that case, Miss Zi Xuan," Gao Wuchang asked, his tone no longer as gentle as before, "may I be so bold as to ask when you plan on getting a divorce?"

Wei Zixuan's brows knitted tightly, her annoyance evident. "I'm sorry, but I have no plans to divorce at this time."

"What?" Gao Wuchang slammed his hand on the table and shot to his feet. He'd been played by these two women!

"Young Master Gao! Young Master Gao, please, don't be hasty!" Sun Yan explained again. "What Zi Xuan meant was that it isn't that she doesn't want a divorce, but that soldier is pestering her relentlessly, so she can't get away from him right now! However, you can rest assured, Young Master Gao. You two can start by seeing how things go. If you decide to be together, she'll be ready to divorce him!"

"And what if I refuse?"

Just then, two towering figures slowly walked in from outside.

"Chen Zheng?" Sun Yan shot to her feet, recognizing the man at a glance. She had been Wei Zixuan's bridesmaid and had met Chen Zheng at the wedding.
