Chapter 127: 92-93 Strategy/Humiliation

Seeing Luo Zhenggang seem to hesitate, Yang Songping looked earnestly at him: "Zhenggang, my son Xingxing’s feelings for Ye’er are completely free of any consideration of interests. The happiness of the children is what’s most important. As fathers, our feelings should be the same, right?"

"Mayor Yang, how about this: let’s as parents not interfere in this matter and let the children make their own decisions, okay?" He was helpless, unable to disregard the future—just taking it one step at a time.

"It can only be this way." Yang Songping knew that if he pushed further, it would seem like the Yang Family lacked grace. He believed that Ye Xuan would not possibly stay here, and as long as his son put in more effort, there was still great hope for the matter.

This outcome allowed Wang Liqing and Yang Xing to heave a sigh of relief, but Song Xiaoyang’s smile was tinged with a hint of loss, while Liu Zhengxing maintained his unflappable demeanor... In that moment, the expressions and thoughts of everyone present varied.

Luo Zhenggang really didn’t want to continue entangling with this issue and called out, "The dishes are all served, it’s rare for us to gather like this, so I propose, Secretary Liu, please lead us in the first three toasts, how about that?"

"Zhenggang is right, it’s rare for everyone to be here, ah..." Yang Songping shook his head in regret: "If only sister-in-law were also here, Secretary, please say a few words."

"Alright, then I’ll not be modest..." Liu Zhengxing raised his glass and began his routine speech.

Seeing how things were evolving to this point, Ye’er felt extremely anxious. Such a result would give Yang Xing a legitimate excuse to get closer to her, but she truly, truly did not want to have any entanglement with him, fearing that she would uncontrollably seek revenge.

When her gaze swept toward Yang Xing, he returned her a bright and sunny smile, which only made her mood even more depressed. Instinctively, she turned her gaze to Ye Xuan, saw that he seemed to be pondering something, and sneakily pinched him, her eyes filled with earnest pleading—only he could help her!

Ye’er’s dark, large eyes pitifully stared at him, a look as helpless as Little Songqiu’s, prompting Ye Xuan’s lips to curl up ever so slightly. Did this little girl also have moments of vulnerability?

He indeed was weighing how to properly handle this issue—he was just helping, naturally considering the Luo Family’s future situation. His insistence earlier was to demonstrate the Ye Family’s stance. Hence, when Yang Songping made a series of demands, he did not respond with outright confrontation.

Fortunately, he had studied the characters of each member of the Yang Family and anticipated such a turn of events, so he was prepared in advance.

However, if Ye’er did not show a clear stance, he would not choose to use this move. He worried that Ye’er might just be showing the reserve of a young girl in rejecting Yang Xing, considering the boy’s appearance, family background, and personality were all the typical favorites of young girls—in his eyes—Ye’er naturally was a young girl!

Pinch! Pinch! Twist!... Ye’er’s little hand was making continuous small movements at Luo Feng’s waist side. She would even throw face to get him to help to the end; she already owed a favor, so it didn’t hurt to owe a bit more, being young, she could throw tantrums...

Ye Xuan couldn’t help but glance at Ye’er helplessly. He wanted to pat her hand to comfort her a bit but felt it somewhat inappropriate. So, he just sat up straight and bore her ’torture.’ Anyway, to him, it was barely different from a mosquito bite—if she didn’t mind the soreness, just keep on biting.

Ye’er secretly rolled her eyes and stopped her movements. This man, what use is being handsome if he has no compassion!

In the midst of Ye’er’s resentment, after three rounds of drinks, Ye Xuan stood up with a perfect arc curling on his lips: "Grandpa Luo, dear uncles, aunts, and all, if I may be so bold on this occasion..."

Amidst everyone’s puzzled looks, Ye Xuan took out a delicate box from his pocket and handed it to Ye’er: "Ye’er, this is a token that Grandpa asked me to give you when I was coming. If you find me acceptable, please accept it, and when you come of age, we can hold an engagement ceremony."

So, this man did have a heart, and he was clever, actually preparing this move. Ah hah hah..., Ye’er, who was initially disappointed, was secretly thrilled. Just as she was about to eagerly take it, she realized everyone was watching her. Being too impatient might seem insincere. She then pretended to be shy, peeked at Mom, Wen Xin nodded to her, then glanced at Grandpa, then at her father... She looked to everyone in the Luo Family, and only then, reluctantly accepting Ye Xuan’s box in her hands.
