"Who exactly is he?" Ping Guoguo asked excitedly.
Chenchen replied, "The only son of Duke MacReady."
"The Duke's son?" Ping Guoguo gasped, "Isn't that amazing?"

And her family, though one of the top merchants in the country, was like a pebble compared to the mountain of the Duke's family.
She already had little hope for this relationship, and now the hope was even more remote.
