Chapter 9 - The Weather is Changing!

“Ye Xuan, you came to the Lin Family with a marriage contract in hand simply because you’re after our wealth, aren’t you?

Here’s 100,000, leave Lin Tong alone, how about that?”

Lin Dongfang’s expression changed, and suddenly he revealed a smile as he spoke.

For the Lin Family, that’s but a drop in the bucket, isn’t it?” Ye Xuan’s mouth twitched into a smirk, his tone dismissive.

“Hmph!

200,000 then, that’s not a small sum, is it?

Enough for you to live on for the rest of your life!”

In his view, 200,000 should be more than enough to sway this country bumpkin.

“How about I give you two billion and buy out the Lin Family’s company, to serve as my marriage dowry for Miss Lin?” Ye Xuan said lazily.

What?

Two billion!

Lin Dongfang was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: “Boy, do you even know how much the Lin Family’s company is worth?

You think you can buy my company for two billion?

Are you still dreaming?”

Mei Ruohua scoffed with a chuckle: “Country bumpkin, two billion might not buy the Lin Family’s company, but it’s a third of its value!

But the key question is, do you have that much money?

Ridiculous!”

Ye Xuan flashed a grin: “Sorry, it seems you heard wrong.

I said two billion…

Federation Coins!”

The entire banquet hall fell into dead silence.

After a moment!

“Ha ha ha ha!

Husband, I’m dying of laughter, this country frog thinks he has two billion Federation Coins!

He’s so rich, why don’t we marry off Lin Tong to this wealthy countryman?”

Mei Ruohua laughed uncontrollably, her beautiful face thick with mocking.

Two billion Federation Coins; even the wealthy Song Family couldn’t come up with that much liquid cash in an instant!

And this country bumpkin says he can produce two billion Federation Coins?

Who does he think he is?

“Alright, this joke isn’t funny at all.”

Lin Dongfang’s face darkened, his tone filled with warning: “Young man, don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you’ve got some skills!

The Lin Family is not a place for you to run wild, and the Song Family is not one you can afford to offend!

Let’s end this matter here and not invite trouble for yourself!”

Ye Xuan spoke indifferently: “Family Head Lin, let’s get something straight.

I’m here to fulfil the marriage contract today, whether you agree or not is none of my concern.

Secondly, I’d like to remind you that what Ye Xuan wants to do, no one can stop; what I don’t want to do, no one can force me!”

Upon saying this, the corners of Ye Xuan’s mouth lifted slightly: “You’re not worthy!

And the Song Family…

even less so!!!”

What is arrogance?

This is arrogance!

Compared to Ye Xuan’s blatant haughtiness, Song Shaopeng was merely a child playing with mud.

Lin Dongfang’s face was ashen.

Ignoring everyone, Ye Xuan picked up the roses that Song Shaopeng had dropped earlier, walked over to Lin Tong, and plucked one: “999 roses are too gaudy, but a single rose has its pride without losing its charm!

Miss Lin, you’re like a rose among a sea of flowers, elegant and self-admiring!”

He offered the rose to Lin Tong with a light smile: “A beauty like a flower, so vividly alive!

A rose for the beauty; will you marry me?”

Watching Ye Xuan in front of her, Lin Tong suddenly felt dazed.

“I will!”

Lin Tong exuded noble grace, like a goddess; she came to her senses, the corner of her mouth lifting in a fleeting smile of youth.

“Lin Tong!

What nonsense are you talking about!”

Lin Dongfang looked at his daughter, his face filled with irate disbelief.

“Lin Tong, Song Shaopeng is your fiance; how can you agree to marry this rural bumpkin?

This is outrageous!”

Mei Ruohua chimed in sharply.

“Damn it!

Damn it!

Damn it!”

Song Shaopeng’s face turned icy in an instant, that shameless woman, to accept this wild man’s proposal right in his face.

It was like a harsh slap in public!

“Why can’t I marry him?”

Lin Tong’s eyes were calm as she looked at Lin Dongfang and Mei Ruohua: “I have the freedom to choose my own marriage, and you have no right to interfere!

Moreover, he is the man Grandfather chose for me; I’m simply following Grandfather’s arrangement.”

Lin Tong pursed her lips, lifted her chin, and her gaze steadfastly fixed on Ye Xuan: “Starting today, you are Lin Tong’s fiance!”

With those words, Lin Tong smiled as she took the rose from Ye Xuan’s hand.

Ye Xuan’s eyes blazed as he stared at Lin Tong’s stunningly beautiful face, not expecting this girl to be so bold and unrestrained.

Well, I like that!

Seeing Lin Tong accepting the rose from Ye Xuan’s hand, Song Shaopeng’s eyes turned bloodshot, his heart filled with venom and resentment.

You whore!

You wouldn’t accept my flowers, but you accepted this wild boy’s single lousy rose, and it was originally mine!

Bastard!

Bastard!

Bastard!

I want you dead!!!

Song Haopeng’s inner rage howled, as he was already filled with murderous intent toward Ye Xuan!

“You…

you bastard!

Cough, cough!!” Lin Dongfang quivered with rage, coughing repeatedly.

“Look what you’ve done to your dad!

You ungrateful daughter, shameless!

To think you’d want to sleep with some random man, how could our Lin Family have such a disgrace!”

Mei Ruohua pointed at Lin Tong and cursed loudly, her hand lifted to slap Lin Tong across the face.

Ye Xuan’s gaze turned icy as he grabbed Mei Ruohua’s wrist and said indifferently, “Old woman, you’d better watch your mouth!

While I don’t hit women, if you dare insult my wife again, I won’t hesitate to wreck your face!”

Under Ye Xuan’s icy stare, Mei Ruohua involuntarily shivered, her face turning pale.

“Ye Xuan, let her go,” said Lin Tong.

“Your wish is my command, I’ll listen to my wife!”

Ye Xuan chuckled, gently pushing Mei Ruohua away.

His eyes shifted to Lin Tong, his arm curling to embrace Lin Tong’s soft figure and, with a declarative tone, he said, “From now on, you are my wife, Ye Xuan’s.

Whoever offends my wife, I shall take their life, annihilate their entire lineage without leaving a single blade of grass!”

Watching the domineering and arrogant Ye Xuan at this moment, Lin Tong’s eyes shimmered with admiration.

This man is so charismatic!

“Heh heh, good wife, now that the vow is made, come and seal it with a military stamp from your husband!”

Ye Xuan, the corner of his mouth curling into a smirk, pressed a kiss on her lips amid Lin Tong’s puzzled gaze.

“Umph!”

Lin Tong’s eyes widened in disbelief.

This scoundrel, to do such a thing in public!

That was her first kiss!

Her mind went blank, even forgetting to push Ye Xuan away, letting him take without restraint.

Whoosh!

The entire banquet hall erupted like a boiling pot!

Damn it!

This bumpkin actually kissed CEO Lin right in front of Song Shaopeng!

If word of this got out, it would undoubtedly be the most sensational gossip of the year.

Huffing!

Song Shaopeng’s forehead veins bulged, his breathing becoming heavy as he clenched his eyes shut.

Lin Dongfang coughed repeatedly, feeling as if a heart attack was imminent!

Lin Zifeng glanced at Song Shaopeng, imagining a vivid green hat atop his head.

He couldn’t help but take pleasure in Song Shaopeng’s misfortune.

This country bumpkin had stolen Song Shaopeng’s fiancée and humiliated him with a public kiss.

The wrath of the East Sea’s prestigious fourth son was not something everyone could endure; this kid wasn’t just tempting fate, but was literally flaunting death!

Ye Xuan released Lin Tong, a lingering lick of his lips suggesting his desire for more as he said with a grin, “Wife, your lips are so delicious, with a sweet flavor.

Did you drink ’82 Sprite’ or something?”

’82 Sprite?

’82 hell!

This shameless jerk!

Lin Tong’s cheeks flushed red as she glared fiercely at Ye Xuan, “Quit your nonsense, let’s go.

It’s time to register our marriage!”

Register for marriage?

Heh heh, this girl’s even more eager than I am!

Could she be wanting to roll in the sheets?

Seems being too charming is a sin!

“Lin Tong!

If you dare step out that door today, don’t bother coming back.

The Lin Family doesn’t need an ungrateful daughter like you!”

Lin Dongfang’s angry shout boomed.

Lin Tong bit her lip, her gaze growing even more indifferent, “Heh, the Lin Family?

That’s your Lin Family!

I, Lin Tong, am nothing but a tool for your political sacrifices.

If that’s the case, then the Family Head might as well not have a daughter like me!”

Having said that, Lin Tong didn’t look back as she left the banquet hall.

“Wife, wait up for me!”

Ye Xuan hoisted up his snakeskin bag, giving the remaining few a look of contempt and followed her out.

“Ungrateful daughter!

That ungrateful daughter has thrown away all the dignity of the Lin Family!”

Lin Dongfang cursed loudly.

As he watched Lin Tong leave, he then glanced at Song Shaopeng.

A daughter might be brought back after running away, but the key issue was how to endure the fury of the legitimate son-in-law now.

Sensing the undisguised murderous intent in Song Shaopeng’s eyes, he involuntarily shivered.

Lin Dongfang understood that in East Sea City, things were probably going to change!
