Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss - Chapter 366:

Chapter 366: Chapter 340: Holding Hands (2100+ monthly tickets updated)

In their past life, Xiao Qian and Yu Minglang were both thriving, reaching the pinnacle in their respective fields. They were, however, rather unlucky in marriage, both remaining single throughout their entire life. Some things, like the mysteries of the I Ching, can really be hard to explain at times.

As Yu Minglang led Xiao Qian into the room, their stunning entrance left everyone in stunned silence.

Yu Minglang held her hand securely. Although it was just an engagement banquet, he took it incredibly seriously. Despite maintaining a composed demeanor, Xiao Qian could feel his nervousness from his slightly damp palm.

This small hand of hers bore all his expectations – – it was because of how deeply he valued her that he was feeling so nervous.

Xiao Qian glanced at Yu Minglang, the man who had finally managed to hold her hand in this lifetime after waiting for her for a lifetime.

There were quite a few people who had seen Xiao Qian and Yu Minglang together before, but their appearance today in matching traditional Chinese attires, walking in synchronous steps, truly dazzled many.

They were incredibly well matched, in terms of looks, height, rhythm, and even their composed and confident aura. Anyone could tell that these two were meant to be a family.

Jia Xiufang, seeing her daughter led in hand by the handsome and tall Yu Minglang, couldn’t help but get a little teary. Her daughter was so beautiful.

“Not bad, looking quite decent for a change.” Yu Mingxi watched her elegantly dressed brother and perked up. She was talking about her brother, but her aunt misunderstood and thought she was talking about Xiao Qian, and sneered derisively.

“All bought with money. Even if you were to dress up a village woman in the same outfit, she wouldn’t be any less impressive. My youngest brother is going backwards. Just look at the woman he’s chosen!”

Upon hearing her aunt’s words, Yu Mingxi’s cheerful expression immediately hardened and her eyes flashed sharply. She fired back with a scornful look.

“Speaking of judging people, none can compare to your son Li Zhen.” Yu Mingxi said softly.

Aunt, hearing her son’s name, looked at Yu Mingxi warily.

“What do you mean?”

“Let’s say, if the person Li Zhen likes also likes the person Third Brother likes, whose taste would be more noble, when compared?”

Yu Mingxi, who was particularly sensitive about the words “high-class”, scoffed at her aunt’s oblivion.

Just as Yu Mingxi said, she may not be home often, but she was well aware of every happening in the family.

Aunt quickly changed the subject as she saw Yu Minglang and Xiao Qian were walking towards them. She turned her head to talk to another relative beside her.

Yu Mingxi continued to watch Xiao Qian, as though looking through her.

When Yu Minglang reached the table, he saw how sloppily dressed Yu Mingxi was. Fine, you dare!

Getting engaged and you showed up like this? Yu Minglang shot a threatening look at his twin sister, hoping she would get the message.

Defiant, Yu Mingxi put her index finger up her nose and glared back at her brother – annoyed by how he was dressed? Dared to stare? Just wait!

Mother Yu watched the entire scene, feeling the volcano inside her about to erupt.

Her twins were at it again, even at such an occasion. If they continued to bicker in public, it would surely be the subject of ridicule for a lifetime. And that gesture Third Brother just made was totally unacceptable!

Seeing this, Xiao Qian quietly tightened her grip on Yu Minglang’s hand, and he quickly retracted his hand that was about to grab his sister’s arm- he would settle the score with this crazy girl after the banquet!

As they walked toward the stage from the entrance, Xiao Qian glanced at those under thick makeup, their dark circles still visible. She was especially pleased to see one of them looking extremely haggard, proof that her continuous pestering phone calls over the past few days had worked. It was the best engagement gift she could give herself.

No one calculates against Boss Qian without paying a price. She would enjoy her peaceful life without letting anyone take advantage. As the host started his opening speech, Xiao Qian turned to look at Yu Minglang. His gaze happened to be focused on that person with the dark circles under her eyes.

Feeling Xiao Qian looking at him, Yu Minglang took back his gaze and raised his eyebrows at her. Are you having fun?

Xiao Qian winked at him. Maybe with him around, the years could be even better.

After exchanging a knowing glance, they both redirected their attention as if their previous merriment never happened.

Yu Minglang had anticipated the flow of the engagement banquet and expected to stand on stage like a fool during the host’s rambling speech, being on display for people to gawk at.

However, when the host mentioned that he could exchange rings with Xiao Qian, a sudden sense of sacred mission filled his heart. It felt as if he had finally understood the ancient vow, the sacred duty that compelled Yu Minglang to exchange rings, made him somewhat nervous, it took him two attempts to get the ring on.

Mother Yu, watching them from the side, was worried. Was her son still not fully recovered from his shoulder injury? His hand was trembling so much it looked like Parkinson’s. She hoped there were no lingering effects.

When Yu Minglang finally managed to put on the ring, he felt a great sense of relief. Xiao Qian put his ring on quite easily. The host, seeing this, hurriedly prepared to announce the next step in the ceremony.

The next step would be to exchange a kiss to express their sweet happiness, however, Father Yu previously stated that hugging and kissing in public was inappropriate and not in line with their family traditions, so they changed the procedure to a cheek kiss.

But before the host had a chance to announce this, a loud heckling voice came from below the stage.

“Kiss her or you’re not a real man!”

Father Yu, about to give a speech on stage, was instantly fuming.. Who’s the insolent girl heckling so inappropriately in front of all these elders?
