Chapter 365 - 339: A Great Fate Convergence (Monthly ticket 2050+ update)
It seemed that Ming Xi also disliked Chen Xiaoqian, or why else would she say she didn’t want to see her? Looking at Yu Mingxi’s outfit today, it was clear she didn’t care.
“Ming Xi, do you want to know about the woman your brother found?”
“I don’t want to, I’m sleepy…” Insomnia was a genuinely painful experience. Ming Xi glanced at her highly opinionated aunt.
“Aunt, aren’t you sleepy? Your dark circles are quite prominent.”
Aunt turned her head away, regretting sitting with Ming Xi now.
“You were much cuter when you were little.”
“Hmm, when I was little you didn’t have this kind of irritability. Aunt, do you want to let the youngest brother’s fiancee take a look at you? She seems to be able to treat your irritability too.”
“Didn’t you have a problem with that woman? How do you know about her?”
Ming Xi yawned, “Although I’m not at home, there are legends about me in my family, nothing can be hidden from me — also, I have no problem with her.” “If you had no problem, why didn’t you come back earlier?”
“I have a problem with the youngest brother. Just thinking about his reaction when he sees me, I feel like I could sleep well at night.”
“…” Aunt began to regret her decision. Why did she choose to sit at the same table with such a fool?
She scanned the room and saw that all the important tables were full. It was too late to change seats now.
Ming Xi started to close her eyes and rest. Suddenly, there was a commotion on the scene. Ming Xi opened her eyes and saw Ming Lang holding Xiao Qian’s hand, coming slowly from outside.
Xiao Qian was wearing a tailor-made small cheongsam and had put on a delicate makeup, looking like a classical beauty who stepped out of a painting. The beauty mark on her forehead was even more captivating under the light.
Even the guests watching the handsome man and beautiful woman found them pleasing to the eyes. When Xiao Qian finished her make-up, the Eldest Sister-in-law brought her out, and Ming Lang almost couldn’t believe his eyes.
The shape of a girl’s figure could be judged by her wearing a cheongsam.
Although Xiao Qian was not tall, her figure was well-proportioned. She made Ming Lang think of a saying, “Every moment, she is beautiful whether she laughs or cries”. His Xiao Mei looked beautiful no matter what.
Especially those pair of curved eyes, without the obstruction of silver-rimmed glasses, they were as clear as a spring, her gaze enchanting. She stood there and made the dimly lit dressing room entrance look picturesque.
When a person is beautiful, wherever she stands, it becomes a beautiful scene.
Ming Lang swallowed his saliva, and with her hair done up and glasses off, Xiao Qian looked like a different person.
Since it was an engagement, not a wedding, they avoided red. The delicate embroidery on Xiao Qian’s peach-colored cheongsam gave her an elegant and luxurious look, especially standing there, her eyes foggy and slightly misty as she glanced in his direction, it was simply irresistible.
But once she opened her mouth, it all fell apart.
“Eldest Sister-in-law insisted on not letting me wear glasses, my contact lenses are rubbing against my eyes…”
So that’s how she got that foggy and fragile look in her eyes! It was all because of the discomfort from wearing contact lenses!
Of course, Ming Lang wouldn’t tell her that her eyes looked innocent and pure without glasses, like a helpless little rabbit waiting for his protection. He kept looking, trying to imprint her current look in his mind, then reluctantly said,
“Go ahead and take off your contact lenses, wear your glasses, don’t rub your eyes and cause inflammation.”
Seeing her beautiful figure was worth it.
Xiao Qian was relieved as she turned around to go back and change into glasses, but Eldest Sister-in-law pulled her back.
“Don’t ruin my masterpiece! It doesn’t feel right with glasses. Either take off your contact lenses or just stay like this!” Eldest Sister-in-law rarely showed her dominant side, but she didn’t want the beautiful little jade beauty to be ruined by a pair of glasses.
“Alright, then I’ll just stay like this.” Xiao Qian resigned herself.
Today was a special day, and she didn’t want to miss seeing the tall and handsome Ming Lang.
To match Xiao Qian’s vintage attire, Ming Lang wore a dark side-fastening collarless jacket with matching embroidery on the hem. He finally removed the strap on his shoulder, showcasing his heroic spirit. With him beside the beautiful and noble woman, they didn’t need to say anything, the most beautiful scene in the world had been created.
When their eyes met, they said nothing, standing side by side. The Eldest Sister-in-law watched, feeling comforted by the perfect match of this talented man and beautiful woman.
“I feel like this outfit is silly…” Ming Lang pulled at his jacket unhappily.
Both he and Xiao Qian preferred simple things, and their outfits were chosen by Mother Yu, according to her taste.
Eldest Sister-in-law sighed, and then Xiao Qian quickly chimed in,
“Actually, you’re so handsome that anything looks good on you.”
In just a second, the man who had just been sulking was appeased.
Eldest Sister-in-law listened in amazement.
It really was true that one thing would overcome another. The mischievous Ming Lang was perfectly matched with the woman who could read people’s hearts, Xiao Qian. Their compatibility was incredible.
“Alright, hurry up and go out. After the ceremony, we still have to come back in and change clothes, so don’t miss the auspicious time.” The date was chosen by Grandmother, who was far away in the north. According to Ming Lang and Xiao Qian’s birth dates, Eldest Sister-in-law’s mission today was to supervise the two, making sure they wouldn’t miss the auspicious time.
Father Yu didn’t like these calculations, but Grandmother took them very seriously. Someone calculated that Ming Lang and Xiao Qian were a perfect match, complementing and supporting each other. However, both of their destinies were too strong, so if they missed the opportunity, they both would have successful careers but unhappy marriages. But if they could get together, they would have a harmonious union.
Ming Lang didn’t believe in these things, and he thought that if the fortune-teller dared to say something bad, he would take Xiao Qian to smash the windows of the fortune-teller’s house. But in the end, when the evaluation came back, it was full of jargon, which he didn’t understand. But he heard Xiao Qian say that they were all good things, and Ming Lang was satisfied.
That fortune-teller was quite reliable. When he took Xiao Qian there, he would bring some cigarettes, alcohol, and snacks. The one who calculated their birth dates was none other than Ming Lang’s Second Maternal Uncle, the current president of the Feng Shui Association.
In Mother Yu’s words, Ming Lang was a shameless fellow who wouldn’t spare anyone who annoyed him. She wondered if Second Maternal Uncle’s evaluation was so good because he was scared of Ming Lang’s famous temper.
Xiao Qian, on the other hand, had no doubt about the results, for in her past life, she and Ming Lang had been exactly like that, hadn’t they?
