Chapter 699: It's You
“Grandpa, you’ve got it wrong. They… they are all my friends.”
Wei Yanran didn’t care too much at this moment and all she wanted was to protect Qin Haodong from the Wei family.
Hua Mingrui added, “Yes, this is my boyfriend. He has nothing to do with Yanran.”
“Bulls**t! I saw them holding hands just now.” Han Meilin pointed at Qin Haodong and shouted, “Grandpa Wei, look, he’s the toy boy.”
When they heard what she said, Wei Junce, Han Wuji and Zhao Cangqiong looked at Qin Haodong at the same time.
Qin Haodong slowly took a sip of the red wine and smiled at them, “Master Wei, why are you so angry? The wine is good. Would you like to have a drink to wind down?”
Wei Yanran was afraid when she saw him talking so casually to her grandpa. She was determined to protect Qin Haodong even at the cost of her life, if her grandpa took action later.
But something strange happened at this moment. Wei Junce was initially so angry, it looked as if he was about to eat someone alive. But all of a sudden, all his anger disappeared and he said with a big smile, “Mr. Qin, I didn’t expect to see you here. It seems that you and Yanran are getting along quite well. We should go now, please enjoy your time.”
Wei Junce was ecstatic to see that the one whom Wei Yanran was planning to elope with was Qin Haodong. His happiness was beyond description. He almost wanted to jump for joy if it weren’t for his identity.
He had been wondering why Qin Haodong had not given him an answer, but now it turned out that he was staying with his granddaughter. What a big surprise!
Han Wuji and Zhao Cangqiong were there to watch the fun, but they were also shocked to see Qin Haodong with Wei Yanran. Then they were filled with jealousy, as they did not expect that the Wei family had made such great progress.
It seemed that Qin Haodong was a lusty man indeed. He didn’t agree before because he didn’t know that his granddaughter was such a beauty. He had to hurry and let them meet as soon as possible.
Han Meilin stood next to them, waiting to laugh at Wei Yanran. But Wei Junce’s attitude suddenly changed when he spoke to the young man, politely and with a big smile. What happened?
She cried out, “Grandpa Wei, what’s happening? Didn’t you see this toy boy? Yanran is already engaged and she’s still playing around with this man. You can’t leave them alone…”
Wei Junce glared at her in disgust and said coldly, “Girl, this is none of your business.”
“What…”
Han Meilin was confused and didn’t know what went wrong with her plan.
Wei Yanran and Hua Mingrui were also puzzled. The measures they’d prepared before did not even need to be put into use.
Wei Junce was not angry at all, instead, he was quite polite to Qin Haodong. It even seemed as if he wanted them to go to bed as soon as possible.
Zhao Cangqiong and Han Wuji also took a few steps forward and greeted him, “Hello, Mr. Qin!”
The three girls in the room were even more shocked now. Why were the two family masters greeting Qin Haodong? What was going on? Were they dreaming now?
The restaurant was owned by the Han family, so Han Wuji was actually the host. He said again, “What brings you here, Mr. Qin? Would you like to have a drink with us?”
Qin Haodong glanced at Han Meilin standing next to them and asked Han Wuji, “Master Han, is this woman a member of your Han family?”
“Yes, Mr. Qin, she’s one of my granddaughters.”
Qin Haodong said coldly, “Master Han, I’m quite disappointed with your granddaughter. She’s both annoying and ugly. Is Han Jieyu like her?”
“No, of course not!” Han Wuji immediately explained, “Jieyu is the most outstanding girl in our Han family. She’s beautiful, intelligent and considerate. She’s a hundred times better than Han Meilin!”
“No… no… they can’t be compared at all. They’re completely different!”
He was afraid that Qin Haodong would break off the engagement in a fit of anger. At that time, all the efforts they’d put in before would be wasted.
“All right then!” Qin Haodong nodded and said, “But I don’t want to see her again in the capital, nor do I want to have anything to do with her.”
“I get it, Mr. Qin. I’m sure you’ll be satisfied.”
Han Wuji went out of the private room once he finished speaking. Wei Junce and Zhao Cangqiong followed him out of the room.
After walking out of the door, he shouted at Han Meilin with anger, “You b*stard, come here!”
“Grandpa…”
Han Meilin looked at Han Wuji in horror. She didn’t know who the young man was and why her grandfather respected him so much.
But she had a bad feeling that she had made a huge mistake today.
Han Wuji said with a gloomy look, “Don’t call me grandpa. From today on, you have nothing to do with the Han family. Get a ticket and leave the capital. Don’t ever come back.”
“No, grandpa. I’m your granddaughter!”
Han Meilin was scared out of her wits. Although she was not very popular in the Han family, she was still Han Wuji’s granddaughter. Why did her grandpa throw her out of the Han family after talking with the young man? Why couldn’t she ever come back here? The punishment was too great to bear.
If she had known this before, she would not have created any problems for Wei Yanran, let alone humiliate that young man.
Han Wuji looked at Han Meilin in disgust. This stupid girl nearly got the entire Han family into big trouble today.
No one, including his granddaughter, was more important than the family interest.
He motioned to his two bodyguards and said, “Take her out of here. Don’t disturb the honored guest’s meal.”
The two bodyguards dragged Han Meilin out of the restaurant without saying anything else. The lady of the Han family, who had been trying to step on others, suddenly became a nobody.
When the door closed, Wei Yanran and Hua Mingrui looked at Qin Haodong at the same time. They cried out in unison, “What the hell is going on?”
Qin Haodong smiled, took Wei Yanran’s hand and pulled her to his side. “It’s very simple. I am the rough fellow you hate. Your grandfather came to me to propose marriage. Now I’ve decided to agree to this marriage. You’re my girlfriend now.”
“What…”
Wei Yanran had some hints earlier, but she was still surprised and didn’t know what to say. She had never thought that her dream lover, who was proficient in calligraphy and painting, was the same guy whom her grandfather asked her to marry.
She had always been eager to marry the Medical Sage. Her grandfather had proposed marriage to him, but she chose to elope with the same guy. It was so funny.
After she understood the whole story, she was filled with great joy. She was going to marry the one she loved. It was the luckiest thing in the world.
Hua Mingrui was also shocked. She didn’t expect that they were the same guy.
Qin Haodong looked at Wei Yanran and said with a smile, “What do you think? Do we still elope?”
“So it’s you. You’re such a bad guy. Why didn’t you tell me?”
Wei Yanran threw herself into Qin Haodong’s arms and pummeled him mercilessly.
Qin Haodong patted her on the back and said, “Isn’t this fun? How exciting!”
Wei Yanran patted her chest and said, “You bad guy, you scared me.”
It was true. The moment Wei Junce appeared, she thought that she would never be happy again in her whole life.
When Hua Mingrui saw them being so happy together, she had mixed feelings. She was happy for her best friend, but at the same time, she was quite jealous of her.
After the whole episode, they were not in the mood to eat. They simply took a few more bites and left the restaurant.
Qin Haodong first sent Hua Mingrui home and then asked Wei Yanran, “Where are you going? I can give you a lift!”
Wei Yanran said coquettishly, “I don’t want to go. I just want to be with you.”
“Don’t you have to go home? Your grandfather might be worried.”
Wei Yanran sighed, “My grandfather? I’m afraid he’s worried that I’m not with you.”
“Do you want to go back to the Tang Sect with me?”
Wei Yanran nodded. “I’ll be with you no matter where you’re. We’ll never be separated.”
“Well then, let’s go back home together.”
After he spoke, Qin Haodong was about to call a taxi. But Wei Yanran stopped him and said, “Don’t take a taxi. Let’s go back on foot. I used to be envious whenever I see a couple walking side by side on the street. But now I can finally realize my dream.”
After that, she held Qin Haodong’s arm tightly and leaned her head on his shoulder. She looked up at the stars and sighed, “Life is so wonderful. I’ve been so eager to meet you. But I didn’t expect to meet you in this way.”
Qin Haodong smiled and asked with curiosity, “Why did you oppose this marriage before? Isn’t it good to marry a ninth-level grand master?”
Wei Yanran said, “I don’t like fighting. What’s the point of marrying a rough fellow?”
Qin Haodong smiled mischievously and said, “In fact, it’s good for a woman to marry a rough man. But we’ve never met each other before, how did you know that I can be ‘rough’ in bed?”
“You bad guy!” Wei Yanran had never been teased like this before. She blushed and punched Qin Haodong on the chest.
They exchanged a few more jokes and Qin Haodong said, “In fact, art is great, but power is even more important. A man can only win the respect of others with strength and only then can he protect his loved ones.
“For example, if I had not been strong enough today, I might already be killed. It would have been impossible for me to stroll here with you.
“It’s the same for you. If you’re a ninth-level grand master, you can dominate everything, including your marriage. And you will not need to follow your grandfather’s orders and accept the marriage they’ve arranged for you.”
Wei Yanran nodded thoughtfully. “You’re right. I didn’t think of that before, but it’s a pity that I’m already 20 years old. I’ve missed the best age for martial arts practice and it’s impossible for me to improve my martial art skills even if I want to.”
Qin Haodong held her in his arms, looked at her in the eye and said, “If you want to, I can help you and it’s quite simple and funny. You’ll enjoy it.”
“Really? Are you kidding me?” Wei Yanran blinked and said, “I heard that it’s a struggle to practice martial arts. How can it be funny and simple? Otherwise, there will be masters everywhere in the capital.”
“I’m different from them. I can help you become a ninth-level grand master in a short time,” Qin Haodong said, “As long as you’re willing to be my woman, nothing will be a problem.”
Looking at his handsome face, Wei Yanran said, “I’m willing to do anything for you!”
Then she closed her eyes. Qin Haodong knew what he should do at this moment. He kissed her delicate red lips.
