Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 369 - 343: Showering Everyone with PDA (Milestone: 2,250 Monthly Tickets + Bonus - )

The fearless rumors that can’t stand the light of day, on the contrary, the genuine emotions have to be hidden. This so-called pride is unnecessary. He won’t be subtle; he wants to swear it boldly!

Chen Xiaoqian gazed at Yu Minglang full of emotion. He was also looking into her eyes, without reservation. When did Yu Minglang mature enough to step on everyone’s sore spots and pull off the big reveal?

But undeniably, the mature Yu Minglang made Chen Xiaoqian even more unable to extricate herself. If we were to create a chart for the charm Yu Minglang has accumulated over his life, this big move, the public display to a group of prominent relatives, would surely rank in the top three.

"My profession is destined not to give you too much, but I can guarantee, whatever I have I’ll give to you, without reservation. Chen Xiaoqian, would you be willing to stake the rest of your life on me, would you accept a man’s full emotions?"

"I will!" Chen Xiaoqian responded to his deep feelings with an incredibly loud voice.

No need for much; right now is just perfect.

Finally, the wait was over, thankfully no giving up, finally meeting you at the best age, it feels like I’m not letting myself down.

Applause arose, led by Mr. Yu sitting on the stage, and then the whole place erupted with applause like thunder.

His aunt stood up with a scowl in the midst of the applause.

She could no longer sit still.

The last words of Yu Minglang were clearly telling her that he already knew the truth.

Just as she wanted to leave, she felt a tug on her arm.

Yu Mingxi looked at the stage, while one hand tugged on his aunt’s sleeve, pulling down her shawl.

"Things have reached this point, how unfortunate not to stay." Yu Mingxi said calmly.

His aunt frowned.

"What are you talking about?"

"Yu Laomao might be a bit wild, but he has a big heart. You’ve offended him; give him a sincere apology and things will pass. Leave it like this, and he’ll remember you for a lifetime."

Just now, Yu Minglang should have been giving his aunt one last chance. His world is black and white, those who stand in the wrong team are just a bad impression for life to Yu Minglang.

"I don’t understand what you’re talking about. I’m an elder, how can I apologize to him? He isn’t worth it!"

Yu Mingxi withdrew his hand, bowed his head.

"This cheeky guy is willing to disown his family for a woman; for that woman, sooner or later he’ll deal with even you. Do what you must," his aunt said, then left without looking back.

Mr. Yu on stage watched the scene, with an expression nearly in sync with Yu Minglang’s, a gaze deep and hard to decipher whether disappointment or something else.

As for Yu Mingxi, he sighed, softly saying to the aunt’s departing figure.

"I call him cheeky because we’ve been hand in hand since birth. You call him cheeky, I don’t like to hear it. Consider yourself told too."

Although Yu Minglang’s grabbing the microphone caused things to lose control for a moment, his subsequent bold yet emotional confession shocked the entire room, bringing Chen Xiaoqian a unique engagement ceremony.

To make a bold confession in front of a room full of prestigious figures, Yu Minglang’s declaration secured Chen Xiaoqian’s position in the Yu Family, silencing those who doubted the longevity of their relationship due to her humble origins.

Zheng Xu originally planned to see Yu Minglang’s attempt self-destruction show, but unexpectedly, Yu Minglang completed an all-around evolution where he couldn’t see, making Zheng Xu feel awkward, yet watching Chen Xiaoqian and Yu Minglang embrace deeply on stage, he surprisingly felt a semblance of completeness in his heart.

Confused, Zheng Xu bowed his head and pondered his abnormality, hearing Chen Zilong muttering beside him.

"Ah, finally my sister’s engaged, I feel so relieved."

Jia Xiufang, rare in public without ridiculing his son, nodded and wiped tears of emotion from the corners of her eyes.

"Such words, like the feeling of family."

Family! These three words struck Zheng Xu’s head like thunder, leaving him burnt on the outside and tender inside.

This position is too unlucky.

Sitting here, all turned into family, if I knew I wouldn’t sit on this side.

Hai Zhao saw Zheng Xu rarely show emotional fluctuation, pleasantly surprised, thinking he chose a great spot today, not only watching Mr. Yu’s heartfelt expressions but also observing Mr. Zheng’s downfall, reminded of a song that sings, in the end, lovers inevitably become friends, Mr. Zheng is sadder than friends, turning into in-laws...

Speaking about songs, Hai Zhao’s gaze inevitably turned toward Yu Mingxi’s direction, where the best singer was.

"Family, I’m not accompanying you, keep brooding, I’m going to find Xiaoxi." Hai Zhao patted Zheng Xu, adding to Zheng Xu’s gloom.

"Xixi~" Hai Zhao went to Yu Mingxi’s table, sat in the aunt’s previous spot, propped his chin with one hand, grinning at Xiaoxi.

"Xiaozhao~" Yu Mingxi responded to Hai Zhao with the same tone, Hai Zhao supporting his left hand, she supporting her right hand, and the two looking at each other.

"Hey, was the person sitting at our table earlier the boyfriend of my brother-in-law’s sister?" Chen Zilong saw this scene and quietly asked Jia Xiufang.

Moments ago provoked by Hai Zhao, Zheng Xu, upon seeing this scene, felt better.

"Appearing close, isn’t necessarily a boyfriend, that’s her family, haha!"

The final two ’ha’s wholly revealed Zheng Xu’s schadenfreude.

Hai Zhao mocked him as Chen Xiaoqian’s family, Zheng Xu also laughed at Hai Zhao being only "family" in Xiaoxi’s heart.

How Hai Zhao felt about Xiaoxi, only he knew.

The world’s most distant distance, perhaps nothing more.

And Dong Yi, watching Chen Xiaoqian obtaining happiness, happily wiping tears, inadvertently seeing Yu Mingyi’s table not far away, feeling a prick in her heart.

Yu Mingyi also saw her, noticing Dong Yi seemed much slimmer, feeling it correct not letting Panpan attend Yu Minglang’s wedding.

Panpan was sick these days, crying endlessly not seeing Dong Yi, having a bit of fever yesterday, Mrs. Yu seeing the child like this, wanted to call Dong Yi, but Mr. Yu forcibly stopped.

He hoped the child could adjust soon, but seeing Dong Yi sitting there, her thin figure looking at him like a stranger, Mr. Yu thought, perhaps maladaptation wasn’t Panpan alone.

And him.

Perhaps, this is also the world’s most distant distance, lamenting never meeting before marriage.

After the ceremony, it was banquet time, Chen Xiaoqian accompanying Yu Minglang to toast table by table. Yu Minglang selected a few important relatives and elders to introduce to her, Chen Xiaoqian noted them down. Yu Minglang’s speech earlier had immediate effects; many people’s attitudes towards Chen Xiaoqian noticeably changed, becoming particularly enthusiastic.

"Those smiling the brightest, keep distance from them later, no need to give them good face." Yu Minglang whispered softly in Chen Xiaoqian’s ear.

These are the few families who could fuss the most back then; now they know to feel guilty? Too late!
