Facing the shameless spreading of rumors, they had to hide their sincere feelings. This so-called âfaceâ was not worth having. He would not hold back, he wanted to declare his feelings without restraint!
Xiao Qian stared at Yu Minglang with great emotion, and he also looked into her eyes without reservation. When did Yu Minglang become so mature that he could now stomp on everyoneâs pain and release his big moves?
However, it was undeniable that the mature Yu Minglang made Xiao Qian even more deeply infatuated with him. If one were to chart Yu Minglangâs attractiveness throughout his life, this grand move in front of a group of distinguished relatives would rank in the top three.
âMy career will inevitably limit what I can give you. But I can promise this â whatever I have, I will give it to you without reservation. Chen Xiaoqian, are you willing to place the second half of your life in my hands, to accept all of a manâs love and affection?â
âI am willing!â Xiao Qian replied with a resounding voice, responding to his deep affection.
No need for too much, just enough for now.
Finally finding you, itâs fortunate that I never gave up. Meeting you at the best age makes it all worth it.
Applause erupted, led by Father Yu on the stage, followed by thunderous applause from the audience.
Aunt, with a dark face, stood up amidst the applause.
She could not sit any longer.
Yu Minglangâs last sentence was obviously telling her that he already knew the truth.
She was about to leave when she felt a tug at her arm.
Yu Mingxi was watching the stage, but her hand was pulling Auntâs sleeve, even pulling off her shawl.
âThings have come to this point. Itâs a pity not to stay.â Yu Mingxi said indifferently.
Aunt frowned.
âWhat are you saying?â
âYoungest Brother Yu may be a bit reckless, but he also has a big heart. Youâve offended him; if you sincerely apologize to him, the matter will be over. If you just walk away like this, he will remember it for a lifetime.â
Just now, Yu Minglang was giving Aunt a last chance. In his world, things were black and white: if you sided with the wrong people, you would leave a bad impression on Minglang for life.
âI donât understand what youâre talking about. Iâm an elder, how could I apologize to him? Heâs not even worth it!â
Yu Mingxi retracted her hand and lowered her head.
âThis little bastard is cutting off ties for a woman. Sooner or later, he will deal with you too. Just watch out for yourself.â Aunt finished and left without looking back.
Father Yu on stage saw this scene, and his expression was in sync with Yu Minglangâs, eyes deep, it was hard to tell if he was disappointed or what.
Yu Mingxi just sighed and whispered to Auntâs retreating figure.
âI say heâs a little reckless because weâve been hand-in-hand since birth. When you say heâs reckless, I donât like it. Watch out for yourself, this goes for you too.â
Although Yu Minglangâs microphone grab made the scene temporarily chaotic, his subsequent domineering and affectionate confession stunned everyone and gave Xiao Qian a unique engagement ceremony.
Yu Minglangâs bold confession in front of a room full of dignitaries, playing group attacks with huge moves, firmly established Xiao Qianâs position in the Yu family and shut the mouths of those who questioned the relationship because of Xiaoqianâs ordinary background.
Zheng Xu had originally wanted to wait and watch Yu Minglangâs dazzling performance, but he didnât expect Yu Minglang to complete a full-scale evolution in a place he couldnât see. Although Zheng Xu felt a little sick, seeing the deeply affectionate embrace of Xiao Qian and Yu Minglang on stage, he couldnât help but feel a sense of satisfaction.
Zheng Xu lowered his head in confusion, contemplating his unusual reaction, when he heard Chen Zilong talking to himself beside him.
âAh, my sister is finally engaged. I feel so relieved.â
Jia Xiufang, who had rarely refrained from sarcasm toward her son, nodded and wiped away the touching tears from the corners of her eyes.
âYou make it sound like weâre her family.â
Mother, family, people! These three words struck Zheng Xuâs head like thunder, scorching him inside and out.
This position is too ominous.
Sitting here, he had become her family. If he had known earlier, he would not have sat here.
Hai Zhao saw that Zheng Xuâs emotions were fluctuating for once and secretly rejoiced. The spot he had chosen today was great. Not only could he watch Fourth Brother Yuâs deep affection on full display, but he could also witness Zheng Laoâerâs downfall. A song said, love will inevitably become a friend in the end, and Zheng Laoâer was even more pitiful than a friend, becoming someone elseâs familyâ¦
Speaking of singing, Hai Zhaoâs gaze inadvertently drifted toward Yu Mingxi, the best singer among them.
âFamily! I wonât keep you company. You can continue to be entangled, 111 go find Xiao Xi.â Hai Zhao patted Zheng Xu, and Zheng Xuâs depression increased.
âXiao Xi Xi~â Hai Zhao walked over to Yu Mingxiâs table and sat in the same seat that Aunt had just occupied. Propping up his chin with one hand, he looked at Xiao Xi with a smile.
âXiao Zhao Zhao-â Yu Mingxi replied in the same tone with Hai Zhao. Hai Zhao propped up his left hand, and she propped up her right hand. They looked at each other.
âEh, the person who just sat at our table, is he my brother-in-lawâs sisterâs boyfriend?â Chen Zilong saw this scene and quietly asked Jia Xiufang.
Zheng Xu, who had just been provoked by Hai Zhao, saw this and felt better. âThey seem pretty close, but not necessarily her boyfriend. Heâs her family, haha!â
The last two âhahaâ words completely revealed Zheng Xuâs delight in others misfortune.
Hai Zhao laughed at him for being Xiao Qianâs family, and Zheng Xu was also laughing at Hai Zhao for merely being a âfamilyâ in Xiao Xiâs heart.
As for what Hai Zhaoâs feelings for Xiao Xi were, only he knew.
The farthest distance in the world is none greater than this.
Dong Yi looked at Xiao Qianâs happiness and wiped away her tears. She accidentally glanced at Yu Mingyi, who was not too far away, and felt a sting in her heart.
Yu Mingyi also saw her. He felt Dong Yi had lost a lot of weight. It was the right decision not to let Panpan attend Yu Minglangâs wedding.
Panpan had been ill these days, sobbing when she couldnât see Dong Yi, even running a fever yesterday. Mother Yu wanted to call Dong Yi when she saw her child like this, but Second Brother Yu forcibly stopped her.
He hoped the child could adapt as soon as possible, but when he saw Dong Yi sitting there, her slender frame looking at him with eyes like those of a stranger, Second Brother thought that maybe it wasnât just Panpan who was struggling to adapt.
It was him too.
Perhaps, this is also the farthest distance in the world, regretting not meeting each other before marriage.
After the ceremony came the banquet. Xiao Qian accompanied Yu Minglang to toast each table, and Yu Minglang introduced her to several key relatives and elders. Xiao Qian remembered them all. The effects of Yu Minglangâs speech were immediately apparent, as many peopleâs attitudes toward Xiao Qian changed significantly and became especially warm.
âThose smiling the brightest, keep away from them in the future; thereâs no need to be friendly.â Yu Minglang whispered in Xiao Qianâs ear.
At first, these families were the most voicing.. Now that they knew they were guilty, it was already too late!
