280: Chapter 280 [Weight Off My Shoulders] First Update!
First, update!
Moreover, the expressions on everyone’s faces varied, with Jiang Qi and his group wearing mocking smiles on their faces.
Qiu Yuanshan and Fang Min, on the other hand, showed embarrassed expressions, as they hadn’t expected their favored son-in-law candidate to be Chu Qingxue’s fiancé.
Ye Chenfeng could ignore all these people, except for one whom he could not: Qiu Muran.
If nothing had happened between him and her, it wouldn’t be an issue, but he had rolled in the sheets with her.
Given Qiu Muran’s petite femininity, Ye Chenfeng really didn’t know how to handle this situation.
Looking at Qiu Muran’s resentful expression, Ye Chenfeng felt a great stir within his heart.
With his original disposition in the Dragon Knight Forbidden Army, he would have definitely taken Qiu Muran and left, confronting anyone who dared to stand in his way.
But now, he couldn’t; there was just too much at stake, and he had changed—he was no longer the Forbidden God King of the past.
“Qingxue, now that you are no longer the President of the Chu Family, do you feel a sense of relief throughout your body?” Dong Shi Guo said sarcastically.
Chu Qingxue smiled slightly, “Thanks to Uncle Dong, I do feel truly relieved now!”
“Ha ha…” Dong Shi Guo laughed heartily, “In my opinion, you should have stepped down earlier.
Not only would you have been relieved, but the development of the Chu Family might have been even better than it is now!”
“Is that so?
If I had known, I would have retired sooner!” Chu Qingxue countered with wit.
“Qingxue, listen to your auntie, just marry Dong Zheng, and be a wealthy wife like me in the future.
Look how happy I am now!” Yao Bilian suggested.
Pfft!
To live like you?
I’d rather jump off a building.
“Indeed, Qingxue, I really hope you would become my daughter-in-law.
Our Dong Family would warmly welcome you!” Dong Shi Guo interjected.
Dong Zheng was beside himself with excitement, while Jiang Qi’s face darkened.
“No need, I already have a fiancé!” Chu Qingxue decisively rejected.
Yao Bilian glared at Ye Chenfeng, “With him, a life of hardship is all you have!”
“I’m willing to!” Chu Qingxue’s response instantly left Yao Bilian helpless.
Quickly shifting his gaze from Qiu Muran, Ye Chenfeng turned his attention to Jiang Qi, “Young Master Jiang, did you sleep soundly last night?”
Such a conversation between two men naturally aroused everyone’s curiosity.
Jiang Qi smiled, “I slept very well!
How about you, Young Master Ye?”
Ye Chenfeng nodded, “Me too, using the sky as my blanket, the earth as my bed—slept incredibly well!
It’s been a long time since I’ve been so close to nature!”
Hearing this, Chu Qingfei felt a pang of distress and couldn’t help asking in a low voice, “Brother-in-law, you didn’t really sleep on the street like those beggars last night, did you?
Why didn’t you come to my place?
My bed is very big!”
Ye Chenfeng was utterly embarrassed.
He had slept on the deck of a yacht, how could that compare to a beggar?
Although both used the sky for a blanket and the earth for a bed, there was a difference in class, wasn’t there?
Chu Qingxue gave Ye Chenfeng a few stern looks, as though telling him to restrain himself.
Clearly, she had heard Chu Qingfei’s words.
Ye Chenfeng felt even more helpless.
Was this my problem?
I didn’t even initiate a conversation with Chu Qingfei.
“Young Master Ye is truly in high spirits!
Have you joined the Beggars’ Sect?” Jiang Qi joked.
Dong Zheng and Chu Xuanyu struggled to contain their laughter.
Jiang Qi really was something, indirectly equating Ye Chenfeng with a beggar with a single remark.
Ye Chenfeng nodded vigorously, “Yes, yes, indeed, I have joined the Beggars’ Sect.
The sect leader even passed the Dog Beating Stick technique to me.
Which one of you wants to try?” Ye Chenfeng asked as he scanned the group including Jiang Qi.
“Pfft!”
Chu Qingfei burst into laughter, and the corners of Chu Qingxue’s lips also carried a hint of a smile.
As for Jiang Qi and his group, the expressions on their faces resembled those of someone who had swallowed a fly, indescribably sour.
Referring to the Dog Beating Stick as something they should try, wasn’t it the same as calling them dogs?
Jiang Qi and his group were livid, but Ye Chenfeng’s words were flawlessly unassailable.
He criticized them indirectly, essentially calling them dogs.
Jiang Qi was eloquent, but Ye Chenfeng’s retort was even more masterful.
“My Dog Beating Stick was pretty fierce last night, don’t you think?
Qingxue?” Ye Chenfeng suddenly embraced Chu Qingxue, making a rather lewd comment.
Not only that, but Ye Chenfeng’s hands also climbed onto Chu Qingxue’s buttocks, savoring the miraculous feel.
Chu Qingxue’s body shuddered, and due to Ye Chenfeng’s action, her complexion turned exceedingly crimson.
Last night?
Dog Beating Stick?
Coupled with Ye Chenfeng’s naughty expression and Chu Qingxue’s shy demeanor.
Jiang Qi and Dong Zheng, the two suitors, naturally conjured up a certain scenario in their minds, and their faces suddenly darkened, wishing they could devour Ye Chenfeng.
“Shameless beast!” Chu Qingxue cursed under her breath.
“What?
What?
A filthy, shameless beast?
I like the use of the word ‘filthy’,” Ye Chenfeng said, and his grip involuntarily tightened.
Chu Qingxue’s body stiffened, her face flushed a fiery red.
Upon seeing this, Qiu Murong felt exceedingly heartbroken, with tears even swirling in her eyes.
…
“Alright, the engagement ceremony shall begin!”
It wasn’t long before the engagement ceremony officially started.
There was not only an emcee but also a top-notch band to create the background music.
The scene was so luxurious that it left ordinary people envious.
The Chu family was overjoyed, especially Yao Bilian, whose face was glowing with unstoppable joy.
“I’ll go out for a bit!” Ye Chenfeng suddenly left in the middle of the ceremony.
The engagement ceremony proceeded smoothly, with Chu Xuanyu practically blooming with happiness.
When it came time to exchange engagement rings at last, Qiu Murong would have been practically trapped.
Qiu Murong’s gaze constantly followed Ye Chenfeng.
However, the man she deeply loved was just bowing his head to devour his meal, not even lifting his head, let alone taking any action.
At this moment, Qiu Murong felt utterly disappointed in Ye Chenfeng and decided to just let it be.
“Hold on, I have prepared a confession video for Murong.
I want the whole world to know you are my woman!” Suddenly, Chu Xuanyu called for the host to stop, declaring his love loudly.
“Together, together!…” Cheers like rolling waves erupted from the crowd.
Qiu Murong was stunned, but she became even more afraid.
How she wished the person standing before her was Ye Chenfeng!
“Play the confession video!”
A large screen was added to the scene, along with a projector and other equipment.
After the equipment was set up, the DVD was inserted into the computer.
Soon, the screen lit up.
But Chu Xuanyu was quickly stunned because he realized the video seemed a bit off—the background was actually a hotel.
In an instant, everyone’s attention was captured, eyes glued to the screen, curiosity piqued, all eager to see what Chu Xuanyu’s confession video was like.
“Why aren’t you watching?” Chu Qingxue, seeing Ye Chenfeng with his head down, couldn’t help but say.
A sly glint flickered in Ye Chenfeng’s eyes as he spoke lightly, “I’d better not watch.
This stuff isn’t suitable for children, just hearing it is unbearable!”
“Gah!”
But in that instant, everyone was shocked into silence.
