The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 213 Under the Moonlight

The two old men were like wolves who had spotted sheep, their cloudy eyes sparking with excitement, wrinkles on their faces revealing uncontrollable exhilaration, as their hearts beat faster, even leaving them slightly breathless.

However, at this moment, they were too preoccupied to pay attention to their own physical reactions, their gazes unwaveringly fixed on Ye Chenfeng.

Increasing Huaxia Country’s military strength by five to ten times was already enough to thrill the high echelons of Huaxia, and Ye Chenfeng still had a better plan to enhance their capabilities?

Could it be an increase of fifteen times? Twenty times? Thirty times? Or even...? Such numbers popped up in the minds of Ye Zhenhong and Wu Anguo, two elders accustomed to high positions and big events, who now found it impossible to remain calm.

Ye Dongjian and Wu Kunming, who had just felt they lost face, now showed Ye Chenfeng a smile that was far from benign, their faces radiating frenzy, as if they couldn’t wait to tie Ye Chenfeng up and make him spill everything.

Wu Zhifang, Wu Anguo’s first son who was a politician, also understood what it meant to increase Huaxia’s military capabilities by five to ten times, and he felt increasingly that his future son-in-law Ye Chenfeng was outstanding beyond words.

As for Wu Xiaofei, her beautiful eyes shone brightly; Ye Chenfeng was now her fiancé, and naturally, she hoped he would continue to excel, even more pleased by his success than her own!

Facing the burning gazes in the living room, Ye Chenfeng spoke unmoved, "Grandpa, isn’t it enough for Huaxia’s military to increase its strength by five to ten times in two to three years? Don’t forget the saying, ’There are no shortcuts to success.’ You know what happens if you try to speed things up prematurely, right?"

Ye Chenfeng had only made a casual remark earlier and hadn’t anticipated that the old men would take it so seriously. With the current average capabilities of Huaxia Country’s military, this training program was already substantial. If he were to provide an even more intensive program, most likely many soldiers wouldn’t be able to withstand the training, and it could backfire.

Hearing this, the elder Ye had a realization. Improving the entire military’s strength was not something to be taken lightly, and progressing gradually was the safest approach. If not for Ye Chenfeng’s plans, even a five to ten times increase would be impossible in two to three years, let alone in four or five.

"Chenfeng, Grandpa was too impatient. But do you really have a better plan in your hands?" the elder Ye looked at Ye Chenfeng expectantly.

"Right! Chenfeng, don’t play tricks on us. It’s already extraordinary for Huaxia’s entire military strength to be enhanced by five to ten times," added Ye Dongjian.

There’s no need for Ye Chenfeng to hide anything from his family. He raised one finger and declared, "I have a plan that can increase the entire military strength of Huaxia by a hundredfold. However, if I were to reveal that plan now, let alone increase the military strength by a hundred times, we might not even achieve a single time’s improvement."

"Each training phase requires a different approach. The most suitable plan now is the one that boosts the strength by five to ten times."

Ye Chenfeng’s soul came from five hundred years in the future, where training incorporated much high technology, making strength enhancements more efficient.

But the technology of this world five hundred years ago was far too primitive. Even if Ye Chenfeng disclosed a superior plan, some aspects simply couldn’t be implemented.

Increase the entire military’s strength by a hundredfold?

Was that a joke? To those present, the figure ’a hundred times’ was incredibly elusive!

While the elder Ye and the others were shocked, Ye Chenfeng regretted having brought up the plan now. When would they ever get to eat dinner at this rate?

Ye Chenfeng didn’t care; he just went to the dining table and sat down, instructing the Ye family’s housekeeper to serve the meal. If they didn’t eat now, the dinner might as well be postponed until the next day.

"Chenfeng, what’s going on with you, lad? Do you truly have a plan that could increase the military’s overall strength by a hundredfold? You’ve got to give me a clear explanation tonight," said Ye Dongjian as he sat down next to Ye Chenfeng without any formality.

"Yes! Chenfeng, if you really have such a plan, can Uncle Wu get a sneak peek first?" Wu Kunming sat down on the other side of Ye Chenfeng.

Ye Dongjian and Wu Kunming were shoulder to shoulder with Ye Chenfeng, devoid of any elder-younger family hierarchy, just like close buddies!

The changes in Ye Chenfeng were simply too significant. Not only had his strength become mysteriously profound, but he also possessed plans that could remarkably improve the military’s capabilities?

The elder Ye carefully folded the three papers of plans and placed them in his pocket close to him. Looking at the changes in his grandson, the elder Ye felt profoundly reassured.

Since there were things Ye Chenfeng preferred not to discuss, the elder Ye would not pry. As long as Ye Chenfeng was progressing positively, that was enough. As for the superior plans, the elder Ye believed that when the time was right, Ye Chenfeng would naturally bring them out.

"Dongjian, move over. I want to have a good talk with Chenfeng!"

"Kunming, you go to the side too, don’t keep clinging to Chenfeng."

Both Mr. Ye and Mr. Wu commanded at the same time, leaving both Ye Dongjian and Wu Kunming to reluctantly stand up. They didn’t dare to defy the intentions of their old men!

Although Mr. Ye and Mr. Wu had a belly full of questions, they didn’t ask anything at the dining table, just showed warm concern for Ye Chenfeng, and the two elders even busily added more food to Ye Chenfeng’s bowl. In no time, Ye Chenfeng’s bowl was piled up like a little hill.

"Zhenhong, when do you plan to hold the engagement ceremony for Chenfeng and Xiaofei?" Mr. Wu was now even more eager to settle this matter immediately, not wishing to see such a demonically talented grandson-in-law slip away right under his nose.

"Why not have it next week? Just not sure if Xiaofei and Chenfeng have any objections?" Mr. Ye glanced at Ye Chenfeng and Wu Xiaofei.

Ye Chenfeng just focused on eating his rice, feeling really hungry, and he managed a vague murmur through his food, "I have no objections."

Actually, Ye Chenfeng still didn’t know how to deal with the engagement to Wu Xiaofei! He could only take it one step at a time; after all, it was just an engagement, not an immediate marriage.

"Xiaofei, since Chenfeng has no objections, what about you?" An Guo looked at his granddaughter with a smile. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Wu Xiaofei just felt her cheeks getting hotter and hotter, her head bowed, unsure of what to say. After all, she had always played the role of an older sister in front of Ye Chen, and even though she had started to like Ye Chenfeng, she was still too shy to express it openly.

"Xiaofei, why are you hanging your head? Is it possible you don’t agree with this marriage? If you disagree, there’s still time to call it off!" Seeing his normally bold and unrestrained granddaughter looking so demure, Mr. Wu couldn’t help but tease her a bit.

Wu Xiaofei bit her red lips tightly and suddenly stood up, then ran out towards the living room, but before she left, she dropped a sentence, "I leave everything to Grandpa’s decision," which caused Mr. Wu to burst out laughing.

"Chenfeng, what are you still dawdling for? Why aren’t you going after Xiaofei?" Mr. Ye nudged Ye Chenfeng, who was still fixated on his meal.

...

Moonlight spilled down.

Far off in the sky, a burst of dazzling fireworks bloomed—it was Lunar New Year’s Eve, and many families were setting off fireworks to liven up the festivities.

Wu Xiaofei walked alone in the Yes’ villa garden, a chill wind blowing through and causing her to instinctively tighten her clothes around her.

"Xiaofei sis, why did you come out here alone?" Ye Chen caught up with Wu Xiaofei’s pace.

Wu Xiaofei lowered her head, her cheeks flushing, and after a moment she asked, "You knew about our engagement ever since you saw me in the Primeval Forest at the border last time, didn’t you?"

Ye Chenfeng nodded without denial, and Wu Xiaofei softly added, "Can you not call me Xiaofei sis in the future? Just Xiaofei is fine."

"I still feel that calling you Xiaofei sis is more affectionate!" Ye Chenfeng said with a slight smile.

Wu Xiaofei looked up with her beautiful eyes and glared at Ye Chenfeng, scolding, "Are you a pig? Now that we are..., I just don’t want you to call me Xiaofei sis."

Wu Xiaofei turned around and stubbornly stared at Ye Chenfeng’s well-defined face, pursed her red lips, and on impulse tiptoed and pressed her lips to Ye Chenfeng’s.

Ye Chenfeng surely hadn’t expected Wu Xiaofei to make such a move; in his heart, he still saw Wu Xiaofei as his sister. Just as he thought to push her away, Wu Xiaofei’s body pressed closer to him.

Heat rushing to his head, Ye Chenfeng reached out and embraced Wu Xiaofei.

Time seemed to stop at that moment...

One minute, two minutes, three minutes later, the kiss still hadn’t ended. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcomed to vote and give monthly passes at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
