Heavenly Dragon Doctor Son-in-Law

Chapter 264 264: Will You Marry Me?

"Haha, gentlemen, believe me, this is just an impromptu performance. We'll be able to get inside very soon."

Wang Xiuhe also put on a smile, then viciously kicked Wang Ming. Wang Ming had given him his word, promising he would be responsible for booking the entire Longquan Grand Hotel. Wang Xiuhe had used his connections to invite all the big shots in the city. Now that Wang Ming had completely botched it, Wang Xiuhe felt like strangling him.

But for now, I have to resolve this awkward situation and get them inside first. I'll deal with Wang Ming harshly afterward.

"Vice President Liu, how about this? We'll add an extra five million. Just let us in first, won't you?" Wang Xiuhe's tone was now consultative and polite, completely devoid of his previous arrogance.

If they really couldn't get through the main entrance, the Wang Family would certainly become the laughingstock of the city. Plus, with so many entertainment companies present, this was bound to become big news.

"President Wang, it really isn't a matter of a few million," the female vice president said, shaking her head with a helpless expression, completely unmoved by the offer.

"Eight million!" Wang Xiuhe gritted his teeth.

"President Wang, please listen to me. Just leave." The female vice president still shook her head.

"Ten million! That's double the original offer! No matter what, you have to at least let our guests inside, alright? If you do this for me, I, Wang Xiuhe, will never forget this great favor. How about it?" Wang Xiuhe leaned in close, forcing a smile at the female vice president.

But how can I, a mere vice president, make such a decision? Even if the boss himself were here, he wouldn't dare to make promises to Wang Xiuhe so lightly. When it came to the Wang Family versus Qin Long, the boss chose Qin Long long ago. Offending the Wang Family is a certainty. If we try to play both sides, we'll face their insane retaliation. Our only choice is to tie our fate to the boss and Qin Long.

As a key representative of the Tang Family, Tang Yuxiang naturally wanted to stick up for Wang Ming. He marched forward and roared at the female vice president, "Do you people at Longquan have any sense? You knew perfectly well that Young Master Wang Ming was going to propose to Xuewu. And now you've trapped the groom here! Don't tell me some other man is proposing to her instead?"

The vice president replied coolly, "Alright, thank you for the reminder, Young Master Tang."

Just then, countless fireworks suddenly burst into the sky, capturing everyone's attention. Simultaneously, soft, mellow music began to play. The multicolored lights of the Sky Garden switched on, instantly illuminating the entire area. A helicopter then appeared, hovering in the air and performing a show.

"Hey, look! Isn't that the Sky Garden?"

"Looks like the proposal has already started!"

"What are you talking about? The groom, Young Master Wang, is still down here! What kind of damn proposal is this?"

Instantly, everyone looked toward the garden suspended in the sky. It was located at the very heart of the Longquan Hotel, high in the air, from where one could overlook almost the entire city. They could clearly see the Sky Garden was filled with the sound of cheering people, as countless fireworks and rose petals drifted down.

"Damn it! What the hell is going on?!" Wang Ming stomped his foot in fury, his fists clenched so tight his knuckles cracked. He was both enraged and felt as if he'd just been viciously slapped across the face.

Now, the entire city thought he was today's groom. Yet he couldn't even get through the main gate. He was stuck here, watching some other man propose to Tang Xuewu. And no one even knew who this man was. This is a cosmic joke. Wang Ming was seething with rage, but there was nothing he could do. The Longquan Grand Hotel's security guards were dead set on not letting them in. After all, this was someone else's turf!

Tang Sen looked at Old Master Tang, his expression troubled and uncertain. "Old Master, we..."

Old Master Tang was completely baffled himself, and he sighed helplessly. "Don't be anxious. Let's wait and see."

Everyone's gaze turned toward the Sky Garden. Even Wang Ming, suppressing the inferno of rage in his heart, looked up.

「Inside the Sky Garden.」

Inside a crystal loft, Tang Xuewu was led to a place that felt like a dream. Rose petals drifted through the air, brilliant fireworks lit up the sky, and soft, multicolored lights pulsed gently. It was enough to make her heart flutter with excitement.

However, she didn't care much about the spectacle. All she wanted to know was whether Qin Long was here.

"Miss Xuewu, please rest for a while." The tall, cheongsam-clad beauty nodded respectfully and walked backstage.

The Sky Garden was beautiful, and she was alone. Even the nearby railings were draped in rose petals. Tang Xuewu felt it was all a bit too flamboyant. The soft lighting seemed to change colors in sync with her emotions. Even the fireworks were her favorite kind.

Such a meticulous arrangement... this is definitely not something Wang Ming could have done. If this really was his work, I would actually have to re-evaluate him.

Just then, a gentle voice sounded from nearby. "My dear princess, you've arrived."

Hearing this, Tang Xuewu's whole body trembled with uncontrollable excitement. I knew it. My feelings weren't wrong.

"Long! Is that you?"

She turned her head toward the voice and saw Qin Long dressed in a white suit with a matching white tie. Paired with his resolute eyes, he looked quite handsome. Tang Xuewu had never seen him in a suit before. It feels like a dream. I can't believe this is real.

"Xuewu, everything here at the Longquan Hotel was arranged for you," Qin Long said, leaning on his cane as he slowly approached her. "Are you satisfied?"

At his words, Tang Xuewu snapped back to reality, her beautiful eyes wide with astonishment. Though she had her suspicions, seeing Qin Long actually appear before her in the Sky Garden... it all felt so surreal.

Am I dreaming?

Tang Xuewu bit her lip, looking at Qin Long with a bewildered expression. "Qin Long, I must be dreaming, right?"

"It's not a dream," Qin Long said as he took her hand. "I told you I would protect you for a lifetime, and I meant it. I also said I would propose to you on the day of the fiftieth-anniversary celebration. I never go back on my word."

Tang Xuewu's eyes widened as if she'd been struck by lightning. She just stared blankly at Qin Long.

"I will never let you suffer, Xuewu," he said, producing an exquisite box. "From now on, I want to protect you. You are my princess, my one true love. I've wanted to say this for so long. For these past three years... thank you."

Before his voice had even faded, Tang Xuewu collapsed into his arms, bursting into tears.

For three years, she had been mocked, insulted, and ignored, but she had never once yielded. She knew she couldn't afford to break down. Even her own mother, Zhang Meilan, hadn't spared her any disdain. This seemingly delicate girl had shouldered everything on her own. She was the one who had steadfastly protected Qin Long, saving him from homelessness and even death.

But now, in the instant Qin Long confessed his feelings, all her pent-up emotions broke free, and all she wanted to do was cry her heart out.

I also want a man I can rely on. I want someone to comfort me when I'm feeling wronged.

Now, that deep longing was finally being fulfilled, and the tears streaming from her eyes soaked the front of Qin Long's suit.

"Xuewu, marry me. Be my wife," he whispered. "Let me protect you for the rest of your life!"
