Chapter 368: Chapter 342: Love Out Loud (Monthly Ticket 2200+ Update)

The scene seemed on the verge of spiraling out of control, with Father Yu’s expression twisting in anger on stage.

If his two sons hadn’t been holding him back, he would have definitely given Fourth Brother Yu a brutal scolding!

The most chaotic engagement banquet in history left Father Yu burning with rage, Mother Yu on the verge of tears, and Jia Xiufang’s family in total silence, wondering if this was how rich people liked to play…

Fortunately, Xiao Qian had warned them in advance to not show any surprise no matter what they saw.

Even Xiao Qian herself hadn’t expected her engagement banquet to turn out like this.

But since Yu Minglang dared to start, she wasn’t afraid of the challenge. Being passive wouldn’t be in her nature, would it?

Facing the rowdy crowd, Yu Minglang remained calm.

“To those who are clamoring to change the groom, save your breath. Xiao Mei and I are a match made in heaven. After her, love no longer exists for me. In this lifetime, I Yu Minglang have set my heart on this woman alone. As long as I’m here, you can only watch with envy.”

“Hush-”

Faced with the jeers, Father Yu had already given up on any attempt to discipline them. Was his youngest just running up to tell jokes?

“How do you know I’ve set my heart on you alone?” As soon as Xiao Qian opened her mouth, Father Yu’s fragile heart shattered again. He retracted his previous thoughts of jokes, realizing this was a back-and-forth of banter!

Xiao Qian wasn’t usually impulsive like this; it was all because of Yu Minglang’s absurd behavior.

“Oh, Second Brother Zheng, your chance to take the stage has come! Go, I support you in your pursuit!” Hai Zhao seemed to be captivated by the show.

Zheng Xu swept a glance at him, as if asking which side he was on.

Hai Zhao spread his hands, “He’s just too good at showing off, I’m jealous.”

The situation headed in an uncontrollable direction, with Father and Mother Yu’s faces darkening and ready to explode at any minute. The younger guests joined in on the commotion, the older ones wore confused expressions, and the soon-to-be-newlyweds seemed to be bickering in public.

There would never be another engagement banquet this fun.

But Yu Minglang, who caused the chaos in this historic engagement feast, remained unflustered. Facing Xiao Qian’s doubt, he expressed a vow that would make the guests remember this for the rest of their lives. This was a chaotic but heartwarming engagement banquet!

“Chen Xiaoqian, I like you, not just because you’re beautiful. I like your naughty cuteness and your self-confident radiance. I can’t bear to see you change for me, let alone change even a bit for the world. I like you entirely, your goodness, and even the things you think are bad about you. If you’re the brightest star in the sky, I don’t want to pluck you down alone. I don’t want to watch you sacrifice yourself to blend in with the so-called ‘hundred forms’. So, I hope to be the star by your side, accompanying you through the trials and tribulations, and witnessing the journey of life.”

Xiao Qian did not expect him to say such words in a situation like this.

This was her deepest inner conflict; ever since her daughter died, she no longer felt like a good person.

But Yu Minglang had already seen through her deepest fears and declared his love for her entirely, not wanting her to change even a tiny bit.

This heartwarming declaration was something words could not express. When they first started dating, he couldn’t even confess his feelings smoothly.

But when it came to deciding on spending their lives together, he loudly spoke his feelings in front of everyone.

This man had been changing for her, adapting for her, growing for her, and even becoming stronger for her.

“I once reflected on why I am so infatuated with you, but I cannot find a reasonable explanation for my feelings. Later, I came to accept it; many things in this world have no reason. We will never know how the first leaf in spring turns green. I don’t even know which part of you I like; I just like you.”

She had experienced public confessions before, but at this moment, Xiao Qian’s heart was filled with emotion.

Yu Minglang was not one to act recklessly and disregard everything, he knew what the occasion was and who was sitting below the stage. But because he knew, it made the expression of his feelings even more precious.

“These words, actually, I should’ve said them to you in private.”

Upon hearing this, Father Yu’s heart blazed with rage. He knew that he should’ve said these words behind closed doors, yet he dared to say them in public.

But Yu Minglang took Xiao Qian’s hand and turned his head to the audience.

“But I think, if some people dare to slander my beloved woman under the scorching sun, then why should I keep my most sincere feelings hidden? The world should not be upside down. I, Yu Minglang, am a man who dares to act. 1 want to express my feelings for this woman in front of everyone. I want to tell the whole world that I, Yu Minglang, will protect her truth. I will give her wealth and honor, but that’s not enough! I can promise her a lifetime of freedom, whoever makes her unhappy, I will repay them doubly.”

The last sentence was directed at his aunt.

Yu Minglang had been holding back for a long time.

To outsiders, he could provide Xiao Qian with a good material life, but that was far from enough.

Xiao Qian was a potential stock herself, who needed a man to rely on?

If he claimed he didn’t even have the ability to provide a comfortable environment for his woman, then how could he have the nerve to marry her?

If he didn’t have the determination to protect her inner truth, to watch her get schemed against and then swallow his anger and do nothing…

What was his purpose?

That’s why he made a public stance: whoever dared to make her the slightest bit unhappy, he would fight back with all his strength.

He could only give her so much, but he would not hold back anything he could give.

When these words came out, the atmosphere was so silent that even the sound of a needle dropping could be heard. Those who had spread rumors about Xiao Qian being trafficked were all looking down guiltily.

They would never have thought that Yu Minglang would launch such a broad attack at this moment, wiping them all out.

More people, wary of the power of the Yu Family, thought to themselves in secret: If Yu Minglang dared to be so bold in his words, he must have the support of his family. Those who were waiting to enjoy the show, brimming with joy before, were now filled with guilt and feeling like they’re sitting on pins and needles – afraid of retaliation from the Yu family later on.

Father Yu, who was initially angry, had his mood suddenly lift upon hearing his son’s words. His son’s seemingly straightforward but thoughtful actions impressed him.

Father Yu was a man of integrity himself. If their family had done nothing wrong, why should they hide and be secretive? Those who dared to gossip about his daughter-in-law must bear the brunt of his son’s straightforward confrontation. Be open and aboveboard, face the rumors directly, and show the true nature of a man!

Just as Yu Minglang had said, those so-called relatives who talked about his future girlfriend behind their backs had all spoken under the bright, sunny sky. So why should he hide his affection for Xiao Qian in the seclusion of flowers and moonlight?

Love should be shouted out loud!
