Chapter 103: Chapter 103: The Arrogant and Domineering Second-Generation Scion

Ye Feng looked at her and said solemnly, "Luyao, I’ve decided. We’ll hold our engagement ceremony tomorrow."

Wang Luyao suddenly started pummeling him with her fists, shouting, "Why do you always have to pause for dramatic effect?! You scared me to death! You scared me to death!"

Ye Feng grinned. "Since you’re so unhappy about it, should I take my words back?"

"You dare! I’ll kill you!" Wang Luyao shouted, baring her small canines and clenching her fists in a playfully fierce manner.

Seeing how cute she looked, Ye Feng couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Wang Luyao giggled along with him, but in the next moment, her expression fell. She shook her head. "Ye Feng, you already have a marriage agreement with Xiao Yufei. Everyone in Jiangcheng knows. If you just separate from her like this, it will be hard on Yufei. So, let’s keep this whole thing low-key."

"Alright, whatever you say," Ye Feng said with a smile. "I’ll just invite our close friends, we’ll have a meal together, and we can announce it then."

"Okay," Wang Luyao nodded. She hesitated for a moment before steeling herself and asking the question that worried her most:

"Ye Feng, I’m the one who took what should have been hers. I made you fail that girl. Don’t you hate me?"

Ye Feng gave a wry smile. "We were separated ten years ago, and I don’t have a single clue about her now. I don’t know if I can find her, or even if she’s still alive. It’s all uncertain. I can’t fail you too just to chase a fleeting hope. Don’t worry, I don’t hate you."

Wang Luyao heaved a long sigh of relief, then looked at Ye Feng and said, "Ye Feng, that girl saved your life. You absolutely cannot stop looking for her. Otherwise, that would be terribly ungrateful."

Ye Feng turned his head to look at Wang Luyao and asked with a smile, "Luyao, let me ask you, if one day I really do find that girl, what will you do?"

Wang Luyao’s next sentence completely floored Ye Feng. She just pursed her lips and said nonchalantly,

"If you find her, you find her. I’ve already thought it all out. We can both just be with you then, problem solved!"

"One dragon, two phoenixes?" Ye Feng stared at Wang Luyao, his eyes nearly popping out of his head.

He never imagined that this beautiful, aloof CEO could have such an... open-minded view of the world.

"Damn, Wang Luyao, you’re so broad-minded!"

Wang Luyao giggled. "I’ll let you see just how broad it is."

With that, she grabbed Ye Feng’s head and pressed it against her chest.

Ye Feng was lost once more.

...

The next morning, Wang Luyao called Wang Genzhi to tell him about her engagement to Ye Feng. Wang Genzhi immediately burst out laughing.

"Good girl! You really did it! You actually managed to reel in Ye Feng! Beautifully done! I’ll handle all the arrangements. I’ll let you know when everything’s set."

Wang Genzhi hung up, absolutely delighted. He drove straight to the Emperor Hotel, booked a luxurious private room, gave Wang Luyao a call, and then proceeded to call his friends and family one by one.

’His daughter’s engagement is a huge deal! How could he listen to Luyao and do it quietly? It had to be a grand, glorious affair!’

He spent a full hour making calls until everyone was notified. Sitting in the private room, Wang Genzhi thought about how he’d finally secured Ye Feng, and he couldn’t stop grinning from ear to ear.

’By securing Ye Feng, the Wang family was guaranteed a moment in the spotlight. And he, Wang Genzhi, would have his moment of glory.’

’He felt ecstatic! He felt like he’d reached the pinnacle of his life, the ultimate climax!’

He couldn’t help but start humming a little tune!

Just then, the hotel manager came over and said to him regretfully,

"Mr. Wang, I am very sorry, but someone else needs this private room."

Wang Genzhi was in such a good mood that he didn’t make a fuss. He looked at the hotel manager and said, "Alright then, just get me another private room."

The manager looked apologetic. "Mr. Wang, I’m truly sorry, but all our private rooms are already booked. Perhaps you could dine in the main hall?"

Wang Genzhi’s expression instantly turned cold. "Manager Liu, this isn’t right. My daughter is getting engaged today—it’s a huge occasion. And you want me to host my guests in the main dining hall? What will they think of me when they arrive? Do I, Wang Genzhi, have no face to lose? I refuse."

The manager wrung his hands, his face a mask of difficulty. "Mr. Wang, this room... it’s where the guest met their first love. They want to come here to relive old memories, so they insist on having this specific room..."

Wang Genzhi sneered. "So their business is important, and mine isn’t? I’ll say it again: no. No matter what you say, the answer is no!"

The manager looked troubled. "Mr. Wang, the guest is of a very high status. Neither of us can afford to offend them. You should really just back down..."

Wang Genzhi’s voice was cold. "High status? How high? Does he have two heads or something? And what am I, worthless chaff?

I’m putting my foot down. Even if God himself came today, I am not giving up this room. Absolutely not!"

The words had barely left his mouth when a sinister voice echoed from the doorway.

"Old Man Wang, say that again for me. You’re absolutely not giving up this room today?"

Following the voice, a young man and woman walked into the private room.

The man wore an Armani suit, a gleaming Vacheron Constantin watch on his wrist, and a pair of brightly polished Gucci leather shoes.

The man was reasonably handsome, but the cold light in his eyes sent a shiver down the spine.

Wang Genzhi looked at the newcomer and, craning his neck stubbornly, said, "I could say it a hundred times and my answer would be the same. I am not giving it up. Absolutely not—"

But in the next instant, he recognized the man, and the rest of his sentence died in his throat.

"Young... Young Master Meng!"

The newcomer was none other than Meng Weifeng, the young master of the Meng family, which ranked second among the four great families of Jiangcheng.

Meng Weifeng walked up to Wang Genzhi and gave a dry chuckle.

"So, Old Man Wang, what do you think? Am I high-status enough for you? Do you see an extra head on my shoulders?"

Staring into Meng Weifeng’s aggressive eyes, Wang Genzhi’s face turned pale. ’In front of the Meng family, he had no right to act so boldly. Besides, this Meng Weifeng was known to be arrogant, domineering, and ruthless—someone he absolutely could not afford to provoke!’

Seeing Wang Genzhi trembling, a flicker of contempt flashed in Meng Weifeng’s eyes. He gave a dismissive wave in Wang Genzhi’s direction and said coolly,

"Get out of here, now. Don’t ruin my appetite."

’Normally, Wang Genzhi would have just endured it. But today was the great celebration of Luyao’s engagement. If they were really forced out into the main dining hall, Luyao would blame him to no end.’

At this thought, Wang Genzhi forced a smile and said to Meng Weifeng,

"Young Master Meng, I am terribly sorry, but today is my daughter’s engagement celebration. I’ve already told all the guests to come here. If we have to move to the main hall, it will be a loss of face for everyone. Could you possibly see your way to making an exception...?"

But before Wang Genzhi could finish, Meng Weifeng’s hand shot out, and a loud slap echoed as it connected with his face. Meng Weifeng then looked at him and said with a grin,

"How’s your ’face’ looking now?"
