The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 229: Flowers and Cow Dung

The eighth day of the lunar year.

This day was especially celebratory for the Yes and the Wus, as Ye Chenfeng and Wu Xiaofei were getting engaged.

Both the Yes and the Wus had a certain status in Capital City, so naturally, the engagement ceremony for Ye Chenfeng and Wu Xiaofei couldn’t be shabby. The families had been making preparations for many days.

Today, Ye Chenfeng put on a black, tailor-made, slim-fit suit that his grandfather had specially ordered for him. Ye Chenfeng in his past life did not care much for dressing up and disliked the restrictive nature of suits, since he could be called on for a national assignment at any moment and traditional attire was inconvenient for his movements.

However, in this life, Ye Chenfeng’s figure was naturally perfect for clothes, and he looked good in whatever he wore. Coupled with his face, which had a ’Little Bai’ (pretty boy) charm, he looked even more handsome in this specially-tailored, slim-fit suit—like a prince from a fairy tale.

Ye Chenfeng descended the stairs to find not only the old master and Ye Dongjian in the living room, but Wu Kunming and Wu Jie as well. Wu Kunming had come over to help because the Wus’ patriarch was worried the Yes would be too busy, and Wu Jie had slipped over himself, now worshipping Ye Chenfeng as a brother-in-law to the bone.

In the past few days, when Ye Chenfeng found time, he had taught Wu Jie a set of boxing techniques to practice. As for Ye Dongjian and Wu Kunming, they hounded Ye Chenfeng every day, wanting him to train them both, leaving Ye Chenfeng without a moment’s rest.

"Chenfeng, I never could have imagined that you and Xiaofei would end up together," Ye Dongjian said with a laugh, patting Ye Chenfeng’s shoulder.

Upon hearing this, the old master snorted coldly and said, "Dongjian, you’re not young anymore. Now that Chenfeng is getting engaged, you, as the younger uncle, are still a bachelor. It seems the Yes can’t count on you."

Now that Ye Dongjian was nearing forty, it was only natural for the old master to worry. Moreover, the direct lineage of the Yes had few offspring, and every time he saw the single Ye Dongjian, he was filled with frustration.

Ye Dongjian’s smile faded as he silently nodded, listening to the scolding of the old family head. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to settle down; over the years, he simply hadn’t met someone who moved his heart, and before he knew it, he was almost forty.

Every time the old master saw Ye Dongjian, he would chide him about settling down. This was starting to make Ye Dongjian anxious. He was a perfectly normal man who also wanted to continue the family line. If this dragged on, he feared for his ability to produce offspring in the future.

Wu Kunming, standing nearby, blushed as well, for he was in the same boat as Ye Dongjian—nearing forty with no marital prospects. Their personalities were so similar; they were truly a couple of ’hard-luck brothers’.

"Dongjian, think clearly about your own issues. Today is Chenfeng’s joyous day, so I won’t nag you anymore," the old master said, his face brightening again as he looked at Ye Chenfeng. "Chenfeng, you and Xiaofei go ahead with the engagement ceremony today. Later on, your grandfather Wu and I will discuss the matter, and you two can have your wedding. I’m eager to hold my great-grandchild," he said.

Ye Chenfeng was internally embarrassed. He had been contemplating for a long time; was he really going to end up like an ancient emperor with a harem? Otherwise, how could he resolve the issues with Wu Xiaofei, Tang Xin, and Zhao Wanting?

Among these three women, Zhao Wanting had already given herself to Ye Chenfeng. Although she said Ye Chenfeng didn’t have to take responsibility, he wasn’t the type to hit it and quit it.

As for Tang Xin and Wu Xiaofei, the former was utterly devoted to Ye Chenfeng and wanted to be his little woman, while the latter—who Ye Chenfeng had always regarded as an older sister—seemed to have truly fallen for him. How could he bear to break his ’sister’s’ heart?

"Let it be. I’ll take it one step at a time! The future is uncertain, and letting nature take its course is best," Ye Chenfeng silently thought to himself, casting his worries to the wind.

"Alright, Chenfeng, let’s go! Today is your engagement ceremony, and you, the main character, can’t be late," the old master said, leading the way toward the exterior of the Ye family villa.

Ye Chenfeng and the others followed closely behind. Wu Jie sidled up to Ye Chenfeng and said, "Brother-in-law, my sister didn’t sleep a wink last night! How on earth did you tame her? She’s a total velociraptor of a woman!"

Ye Chenfeng unceremoniously thumped Wu Jie on the head and said, "You little rascal, do you still want me to teach you martial arts in the future?"

The usually defiant Wu Jie meekly lowered his head and said, "Brother-in-law, since you don’t want to hear it, then I won’t talk about it."

...

The hotel where Ye Chenfeng and Wu Xiaofei’s engagement ceremony was held is called Jingyun Hotel, which is considered a top-tier hotel in Capital City.

Today, the entire second-floor hall of Jingyun Hotel was booked, and armed police were stationed at the entrance. With the Yes and the Wus holding the engagement ceremony, many high-ranking officials from Huaxia Country would be in attendance. Naturally, security measures had to be rigorous, lest any malicious schemers infiltrate and cause unimaginable consequences.

By the time Ye Chenfeng and others arrived at the second-floor hall of Jingyun Hotel, many guests had already arrived.

Upon seeing Ye Chenfeng make an appearance, many eyes were drawn to him. After all, the news of him crippling Song Bin had spread among Capital City’s families. They couldn’t understand how the supposed fool of the Ye family managed to defeat Song Bin, whose strength was not something the average person could contend with.

People familiar with Old Master Ye came up one by one to congratulate him. The Ye family was still one of the top families in Huaxia Country, after all! Although it seemed like the Ye family was running out of successors, for the time being, they were still a family no one could afford to offend.

Not long after Ye Chenfeng and his group had arrived, the Wus also reached Jingyun Hotel’s second-floor hall. Wu Xiaofei today was dressed in a black low-cut silk gown, wearing a silver-white necklace around her delicately exposed pale neck, her hair elegantly pinned up. Where was the slightest trace of her tyrannosaur temperament? She had completely transformed into a stunning beauty!

The guests in the hall were immediately captivated by Wu Xiaofei, especially many of Capital City’s young elites. They hadn’t expected that after dressing up, Wu Xiaofei could be so gorgeously attractive. She could certainly rival Bai Xueling, Capital City’s number one beauty, with her appearance right now!

For a moment, the first thought in many people’s minds was that a fresh flower was wasted on cow dung. Although Ye Chenfeng had crippled Song Bin, they hadn’t witnessed it with their own eyes. Who knew what really happened at that moment? Furthermore, the label of fool had taken deep root in the hearts and minds of these Capital City dwellers.

"How lucky this Ye fool is. He broke off the engagement with Capital City’s number one beauty, Bai Xueling, and is now engaged to Wu Xiaofei from the Wus. I think Wu Xiaofei’s looks aren’t much less than Bai Xueling’s."

"Isn’t that the truth? Ye Chenfeng is at best a pile of cow dung. I really don’t understand what the Wus are thinking. No matter how top-tier the Ye family still is in Capital City, my old man said that as soon as Old Master Ye passes, the Ye family will immediately be done for."

...

A few young Capital City scions who had followed their elders to the engagement ceremony began to discuss in low voices, feeling rather resentful inside.

Little did they know, if Ye Chenfeng were a pile of cow dung, they probably wouldn’t even be qualified to be cow dung. After all, how could the likes of them—the frogs at the bottom of a well—see the brilliance of Ye Chenfeng?

When Ye Chenfeng truly rose to power in Capital City one day, only then would they realize how ridiculous and childish their thoughts had been. But for now, they were still enjoying their delusions.

Wu Xiaofei, in a black silk gown, slowly walked toward Ye Chenfeng with slightly blushed cheeks. She was absolutely beautiful, breathtakingly so...

Even Ye Chenfeng lost himself in a moment of distraction...

And Wu Xiaofei’s beauty bloomed solely for the man in her heart, the "brother" who once needed her protection...(To be continued. If you like this work, please come to qidian.com to vote and support me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
