Chapter 311: The Day of the Marriage Proposal

"Great Xia people don't lie to Great Xia people," Xie Xiaoxiao said earnestly.

Ye Lin couldn't help but sigh.

"You're such a romantic fool, it's very easy for people to trick you. It's lucky you met me; if you met someone else, they might not have the heart to trick you."

"Do you know? Actually, I never thought we could be together. Our statuses are too far apart. Father wouldn't allow me to marry someone with no status or background. Even if this person is a genius, being born into the Xie family already dictates that I cannot make my own decisions regarding my lifelong affairs."

Xie Xiaoxiao muttered to herself.

"So, in my heart, I've always only had one wish: as long as... I could see you one more time, that would be enough. Now, that wish has been fulfilled."

"Don't worry, that old bastard whose son has no skin on his dick can't stop me!" A flash of determination crossed Ye Lin's eyes.

Xie Xiaoxiao: "......"

"Can you show my father some respect?"

"Oh, oh, oh, sorry, I got carried away with my insults. Don't worry, your respected father cannot stop us!" Ye Lin promised with absolute certainty, then continued, "Xiaoxiao, give me your identification information."

Although Xie Xiaoxiao didn't know what Ye Lin was going to do, she still obediently nodded and complied.

"Alright, wait for me here!"

Ye Lin jumped straight out the window, where Guo Qin had already been waiting for a long time.

"Let's go, to Gui Street!"

"You got it!"

Guo Qin sped along the whole way, and with his speed, they arrived at Gui Street very quickly.

After arriving at Gui Street, Ye Lin's goal was very clear; he went straight to find a professional for fake documents.

"Boss, get me a fake ultrasound report."

"Huh?"

The boss scratched his head in confusion. He had made so many fake documents, but this was the first time he had heard of someone wanting a fake ultrasound report.

However, after Ye Lin placed a stack of RMB on the table, the boss's confusion vanished instantly, and he began working with great enthusiasm.

A moment later, a brand-new ultrasound report appeared in Ye Lin's hand. Ye Lin carefully tucked it into his Great Sumeru Ring.

"Let's go, back to the hotel!"

Having obtained the report, Ye Lin hurriedly rode Guo Qin back to the hotel.

Calculating the time, the Xie family people should be able to track them here very soon.

Sure enough, just as he climbed in through the hotel window and hadn't even had a chance to say a word to Xie Xiaoxiao, the hotel door was kicked into pieces with a bang.

Outside the door appeared Xie Hong's face, so gloomy it could drip water.

When he saw Xie Xiaoxiao and Ye Lin truly alone in such a hotel, Xie Hong's face twisted.

"Zi Shu, grab him! I want to make him the 'Kyoto Eunuch'!" Xie Hong barked.

"You got it!"

Zi Shu immediately rushed over, wanting to take Ye Lin down; he had long found Ye Lin unpleasant.

"Inside the Gate of Apocalypse, the Butterfly Emperor brought a fragment of an Origin Ancient Artifact!" Ye Lin shouted.

"Zi Shu, stop! Keep his 'equipment' intact for now!"

Xie Hong immediately ordered Zi Shu to stop, then once again displayed his already perfected face-changing technique; one second his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, the next his smile was as bright as the stars.

"Hahahaha, good son-in-law, I know you're anxious, but you can't be this impatient! No matter what, you have to wait until after the wedding! Don't do this next time!"

"Next time for sure," Ye Lin promised, patting his chest.

"Quick, send the Young Lady and the son-in-law back to the Xie family, and keep the son-in-law under strict guard... oh no, treat him well!"

Following Xie Hong's order, Xie Xiaoxiao and Ye Lin were escorted back to the Xie family by the crowd.

"I'm sorry, my lord, it is Chen Long's failure to guard properly."

Chen Long felt somewhat guilty. His attention had been entirely focused on Ye Lin, monitoring him with all his might to prevent him from approaching Xie Xiaoxiao's boudoir, but he hadn't expected Xie Xiaoxiao to sneak out in the middle of the night. This was indeed his dereliction of duty.

Xie Hong turned around, grabbed Chen Long's head, and slammed it heavily against the wall, instantly creating a large crater in the hard wall.

The mask on Chen Long's face shattered into pieces, and blood seeped out from the cracks.

"If you can't even handle such a small matter next time, don't follow me anymore. I don't need trash under my command," Xie Hong said coldly.

"I'm sorry, my lord."

Chen Long lowered his head deeply.

In the blink of an eye, five days flashed by.

Just as dawn broke, the inside and outside of the Xie residence began to be decorated with lanterns and streamers; bright red lanterns were hung high, and the atmosphere was filled with joy everywhere.

Because today was the day Zhuge Nanfeng of the Zhuge family was coming to the Xie family to propose marriage.

Speaking of the name Zhuge Nanfeng, many prominent figures in Kyoto were well aware of him.

At only 25 years old, he had already broken through the 75-level threshold.

If nothing unexpected happened, Zhuge Nanfeng would surely become a Three-Realm expert in the future. Therefore, among the younger generation of the Zhuge family, Zhuge Nanfeng was also extremely highly valued; there were very few people who could suppress him. Otherwise, the Zhuge family would not have sent him to marry into the Xie family.

For this proposal, besides Zhuge Nanfeng and his family, the Zhuge family had even sent an elder who held real power, Zhuge Ensheng. This level of protocol was only slightly less than the family head coming in person, giving the Xie family plenty of respect.

"Hahahaha, Head of the Xie family, I trust you have been well!"

The high-spirited Zhuge Ensheng stepped forward quickly to greet Xie Hong.

"Elder Zhuge, long time no see." Xie Hong also revealed a smile, then looked behind Zhuge Ensheng.

A handsome young man stood there quietly, yet gave people the feeling that he was the center of the world. In his indifferent eyes, there was a hint of arrogance.

"This must be Nanfeng, right? Truly a man of talent!" Xie Hong praised.

"Thank you for the compliment, Uncle Xie. Nanfeng is unworthy of such praise." Zhuge Nanfeng smiled and bowed.

After some pleasantries, Xie Hong welcomed the Zhuge family's party into the reception room, and beautiful maids immediately stepped forward to serve tea and water.

"Head of the Xie family, I won't waste words. My visit this time is mainly to finalize the marriage between this child, Nanfeng, and your daughter, Xie Xiaoxiao," Zhuge Ensheng said, getting straight to the point.

"I understand. Xiaoxiao, come out," Xie Hong called out, and a meticulously dressed Xie Xiaoxiao walked in.

When Zhuge Nanfeng's gaze swept over Xie Xiaoxiao, he couldn't help but feel moved.

A tall and curvaceous figure, and beneath her smooth bangs were a pair of gentle, clear eyes and an impeccable face.

Such a woman, and the only daughter of the Xie family head—whether in terms of figure, appearance, or family background—was top-tier. She was indeed qualified to be his, Zhuge Nanfeng's, wife!

Zhuge Nanfeng shot a smile at Xie Xiaoxiao, the aggression in his eyes undisguised. Clearly, he had already viewed Xie Xiaoxiao as his own possession.

After all, women of great clans basically couldn't decide their own marriages. In Zhuge Nanfeng's view, this woman becoming his wife was already a done deal, and he didn't need to pretend anything.

"According to the conditions we discussed previously, if it's agreeable, let's finalize the matter for the two children," Xie Hong said, taking a light sip of tea.

"No problem, let's do as the Head of the Xie family says," Zhuge Ensheng nodded.

"Hahahaha," Xie Hong laughed heartily and grasped Zhuge Ensheng's hand. "Then from today on, we are in-laws! No one objects, right?"

"I object to this marriage!" Ye Lin, with his green hair, immediately jumped out.

"What did you say?" Seeing that someone actually dared to object, Zhuge Ensheng's eyes turned cold.

"Sigh, sigh, sigh, Elder Zhuge, don't be angry on such a joyous day. I will handle this."

Xie Hong turned and angrily scolded Ye Lin.

"Shut up! They are a talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven. Is it your turn, you green-haired monster, to object?"
