Chapter 230 - Isn't That Too Much Face
Chapter 230 of "The Strongest Dandy in the City" opens revealing: A waft of delicate fragrance entered Ye Chenfengâs nostrils, and he couldnât help but say,... Keep going!
A waft of delicate fragrance entered Ye Chenfengâs nostrils, and he couldnât help but say, âXiaofei, you look very beautiful today.â
Wu Xiaofeiâs cheeks were burning.
She no longer insisted on Ye Chenfeng not calling her âXiaofei.â She pursed her lips slightly and said, âDoes that mean Iâm not usually beautiful?â
Women are truly the creatures most fond of making a fuss over nothing.
Ye Chenfeng hastily said, âXiaofei, you are beautiful normally, but today youâre even more so.â
Upon hearing Ye Chenfengâs response, Wu Xiaofei finally revealed a satisfied, shy, and joyous smile.
Wu Kunming walked over and said, âChenfeng, Xiaofei, stop flirting with each other and come sit at the main table.
The engagement ceremony is about to begin.â
At that, Wu Xiaofei, blushing and slightly annoyed, gave Wu Kunming a glance, then surprisingly boldly linked arms with Ye Chenfeng, her voice as low as a mosquitoâs, âChenfeng, letâs go sit down.â
âMhm,â Ye Chenfeng hummed in response, giving Wu Xiaofei a gentle smile.
About half an hour later, the guests who had come to attend Ye Chenfengâs and Wu Xiaofeiâs engagement ceremony had mostly arrived, and the ceremony officially began.
At the front of the second-floor hall of Jingyun Hotel, a grand stage had been set up.
A man in his thirties, with a rather decent appearance, walked onto the stage and said in a clear voice, âRespected guests, friends, gentlemen, and ladies, Happy New Year.â
âToday is the eighth day of the new year.
Thank you all for coming to Jingyun Hotel to witness the engagement ceremony of Mr.
Ye Chenfeng and Miss Wu Xiaofei.
Now, letâs welcome our protagonists of the day to the stage with a big round of applause.â
Wu Xiaofei, arm in arm with Ye Chenfeng, both dressed in black attire, the man handsome and the woman stunning, they seemed like a match made in heaven indeed!
Many of the young ladies from Capital Cityâs families who had come with their elders were smitten the moment they saw Ye Chenfeng, their expressions dreamy.
Ye Chenfeng was simply too pretty, and his face fit the prince-like ideal of many women.
âIs that really Ye Chenfeng?
He doesnât look stupid at all!
And heâs quite handsome too!
I wish I had such a handsome boyfriend.â
âExactly!
Ye Chenfeng has changed so much.
I heard that not long ago he even crippled Song Familyâs eldest, Song Bin!
I think Ye Chenfeng is not the fool everyone talks about in Capital City.â
Compared to the daydreaming young ladies, the spoiled youths were feeling uncomfortable, wishing they could go on stage and replace Ye Chenfeng to get engaged to Wu Xiaofei.
In their eyes, Ye Chenfeng was nothing but a fool.
Otherwise, why would the Bais have broken off the betrothal with the Yes?
The male host on stage delivered a series of blessings, managing the atmosphere of the engagement ceremony quite well.
Finally, he asked, âSurely there are no friends here opposed to the engagement of Mr.
Ye Chenfeng and Miss Wu Xiaofei?
Now letâs have Mr.
Ye Chenfeng kiss Miss Wu Xiaofei.
This kiss symbolizes that from now on, through sickness and health, through richness and poverty, Mr.
Ye Chenfeng will never leave Miss Wu Xiaofeiâs side.â
All eyes turned to Ye Chenfeng and Wu Xiaofei.
Wu Xiaofei looked down, her cheeks flushed, her hands nervously clasped together, her heartbeat quickening.
She hadnât expected that todayâs ceremony would involve kissing Ye Chenfeng in front of so many people!
As a woman, how could she not feel shy!
Ye Chenfeng had not anticipated this turn of events either, but now there was no backing out.
He extended his hand to encircle Wu Xiaofeiâs slender waist, drawing her into his embrace, feeling her rapid heartbeat.
Before Wu Xiaofei could react, Ye Chenfengâs lips were on hers!
The young elites of Capital City cursed inwardly, âAnother flower has been ruined by a lump of cow dung.â
The kiss lasted for over a minute before Ye Chenfeng snapped back to reality, realizing they were still at the engagement ceremony, and quickly let go of Wu Xiaofei.
Wu Xiaofeiâs head was almost touching her chest, her teeth biting down on her lips more firmly.
Just as many people were feeling sorry for Wu Xiaofei and cursing Ye Chenfeng in their hearts, the doors to the second-floor hall of the Jingyun Hotel burst open.
A man in his fifties with a powerful presence walked in, heading straight to Ye Zhenhong and Wu Anguo, and said, âZhenhong, An Guo, you wonât mind me showing up uninvited today, will you?â
Ye Zhenhong and Wu Anguo hurriedly expressed their warm welcome.
This man in his fifties was none other than Wu Guotian, the commander of the Soldier King Group!
Wu Guotian had come specially for Ye Chenfeng and Wu Xiaofeiâs engagement ceremony ever since that day when Ye Chenfeng displayed his formidable strength at the Soldier King Base.
Wu Guotian had been pondering over the issue of Ye Chenfeng day and night, so he decided to get closer to Ye Chenfeng, thinking that he might seek Ye Chenfengâs help for future issues!
After all, Ye Chenfengâs strength had surpassed what the Soldier King Group could grasp, which is why he showed up unannounced at the engagement ceremony today.
As for Wu Guotianâs arrival, Elder Ye and Elder Wu were only slightly shocked for a few seconds.
Ye Dongjian and Wu Kunming had already fully briefed their elders about Ye Chenfengâs sweeping of the Soldier King Group members, so the two elders knew Wu Guotian was here for Ye Chenfeng.
Many prominent figures present recognized Wu Guotian, and the shock in their hearts was indescribable after seeing him.
Knowing that Wu Guotian, as the commander of the Soldier King Group, was of a very special status and usually wouldnât accept invitations from big families, they were amazed that he had come uninvited to the ceremony of Ye Chenfeng and Wu Xiaofeiâhow could that not surprise them!
After greeting Ye Zhenhong and Wu Anguo, Wu Guotian walked towards Ye Chenfeng and asked with a smile, âChenfeng, you donât mind me coming here for a drink today, do you?â
Ye Chenfeng couldnât care less about Wu Guotian, not giving a damn that he was the commander of the Soldier King Group.
Responding with a lack of enthusiasm, he said, âSince youâve already shown up shamelessly, could I even drive you away?â
Luckily, the conversation between Ye Chenfeng and Wu Guotian was very low, audible only to the two of them and Wu Xiaofei nearby.
Otherwise, the high-level attendees of todayâs ceremony would definitely start doubting their own ears. Follow current novels on N(o)vá´l(F)ire.ná´t
Even though they couldnât hear Ye Chenfeng and Wu Guotianâs conversation, just seeing the two of them chatting in a sporadic manner was shocking enough, especially for Elder Bai of the Bais and Family Head Song of the Songs.
Although the Bais had called off an engagement with the Yes and the Songs harbored hatred towards them, they still needed to keep up appearances, especially since not long ago Elder Ye had introduced a powerful plan that made the Ye familyâs influence very strong in Capital City lately!
Many people were wondering why Wu Guotian had come?
Could it be because of Elder Yeâs reputation?
But given Wu Guotianâs way of doing things, it was unlikely to be just for Elder Yeâs sake, deepening the mystery in their minds.
Elder Bai fell into deep thought, an odd idea surfacing in his mind, âCould Wu Guotian have come for Ye Chenfengâs sake?â
After contemplating for a moment, Elder Bai found his speculation laughable; no matter how exceptional Ye Chenfeng was, he couldnât possibly have attracted Wu Guotianâs attention, right?
What Elder Bai didnât realize was that it was Ye Chenfengâs exceptionally outstanding abilities that led Wu Guotian to show up on his own today.
When the young elites learned of Wu Guotianâs identity from their elders, they were stunned into silence, wondering how they could have earned the presence of the commander of the Soldier King Group at an engagement ceremony.
Wasnât this a bit too big of an honor?
Nevertheless, they unanimously believed that Wu Guotian came for the sake of Elder Ye and Elder Wu, with the simpleton Ye Chenfeng having nothing to do with it.
Who was the fool here, Ye Chenfeng?
Or were they the fools?
Time would tell soon enough.
