Chapter 129 Capture Him for Me
Duan Qingxue shone like a dazzling star, attracting the attention of everyone in the hall.
"Moonlight Shines Brightly, Beautiful People Gather," a poet gently recited in the hall.
Others praised her: "She is graceful and exudes an impressive aura!"
There were also some shifty-eyed Beasts who couldn't suppress the excitement of their beastly blood, whispering to each other:
"This young lady from the Duan Family is the goddess in my heart. What a pity that such a beautiful flower is about to be picked by an outsider!"
"A goddess with both beauty and wisdom like this is rare; who could possibly aspire to her?"
"Look at her beautiful eyes, so wise! Just one glance from her makes me feel like she can see right through my thoughts!"
"Come on, honestly confess what you were thinking just now?"
"I was just thinking about being with her in bed..."
"Please, with your sleazy Young Master demeanor, how dare you dream such dreams?"
Hao Meiyun was even more nervously focused on Duan Qingxue, feeling extremely excited—hadn't she always been close with Xiao Yun? How could she agree to that man's proposal from America?
She couldn't help but shift her gaze toward the various guests, hoping to find her son among them.
"Son, where are you? You must bring home such a good daughter-in-law!"
Hao Meiyun silently prayed in her heart.
However, she did not see any sign of Xiao Yun.
Not only did Hao Meiyun fail to find her son, but even Duan Haoran, who entered the hotel lobby, did not discover Xiao Yun's presence.
Damn it, how can this brat have no sense of time at all!
Duan Haoran was as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof; he had already tacitly agreed to marry Duan Qingxue to Xiao Yun.
Good water does not flow to outsiders; this is common sense.
" An Yiran," Duan Haoran quietly instructed An Yiran, who had been following him closely, "call that kid and urge him. What could be so important that he’s still not here?"
From his expression, it was clear he was quite displeased.
He thought to himself that when this kid could officially recognize his roots, he would definitely teach him a lesson. The descendants of the Duan Family should never procrastinate in anything; they must value time and act decisively. Otherwise, how could they bear heavy responsibilities in the future?
Just as he finished instructing An Yiran, a lazy voice suddenly rang out beside him: "Old Master Duan, I’m already here!"
Duan Haoran was startled and turned to look; where was Xiao Yun?
A hint of surprise flashed in Duan Haoran's eyes as he looked around and unexpectedly found Xiao Yun sitting in an inconspicuous corner, holding a newspaper.
Little did he know that last night, the little bell had organized the data within Xiao Yun's body, leading to a slight upgrade in his cultivation level, which had now reached the intermediate stage of Earth Level. At this moment, not only was his hearing extraordinary, but he could also communicate with others through sound transmission over distances.
Just now, after Xiao Yun arrived, he deliberately chose a corner where no one was paying attention to sit down and casually picked up a newspaper to cover his face, not wanting anyone to recognize him here to avoid any trouble.
Although his face was covered by the newspaper, his eyes were not idle; he was observing everything around him and listening intently.
His Spiritual Sense happened to sweep over Duan Haoran's area, just in time to hear him instruct An Yiran, and he quickly used telepathy to inform him.
Duan Haoran was astonished to discover that this peculiar grandson had such abilities. Just then, Duan Qingxue approached Duan Haoran and sat down beside him. Following her grandfather's gaze, she immediately spotted Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun threw a harmless smile at Duan Qingxue and then covered his face with the newspaper again.
For some reason, upon seeing Xiao Yun's smile, Duan Qingxue shivered slightly, and her face turned pale.
Duan Haoran noticed something unusual about Duan Qingxue's complexion and asked, "Qingxue, what's wrong?"
"Nothing...," Duan Qingxue hurriedly bit her red lip and lowered her head softly.
"Is it that you're not feeling well?" Duan Haoran asked with concern.
Duan Qingxue shook her head and said, "No, really, Grandpa!"
After a pause, she added, "Grandpa, I used to misunderstand you a lot. Please forgive your granddaughter. Also, when I'm not around you in the future, don't worry too much; take care of yourself, okay?"
"Silly child," Duan Haoran smiled at Duan Qingxue. "You are my most beloved granddaughter. If there's blame, it can only be said that I haven't taken good care of you. Uh—what do you mean by not being by my side? Do you not want to return to the Duan Family?"
"Grandpa..." Duan Qingxue hesitated.
Duan Haoran seemed to understand something and laughed, "Qingxue, I understand now. Haha, even if my granddaughter gets married, she will still be nearby..."
In his heart, the grandfather thought that his granddaughter was overthinking. What she should say is that Xiao Yun is her grandson; she married him, not left him, and has officially become a member of the Duan Family.
The quiet whispers between the grandfather and granddaughter reached Xiao Yun's ears, causing him to furrow his brows. He felt something was off but couldn't pinpoint what the problem was.
Why did Duan Qingxue say such things to Old Master Duan?
Was she planning to leave the Galactic District and go somewhere else? No way, if that were the case, why didn't she tell me in advance?
He lowered the newspaper covering his face, lit a cigarette, and took a slow puff as if deep in thought.
At that moment, Duan Qingyu, holding a drink, passed by and spotted Xiao Yun. He jolted, and with a loud crash, the cup slipped from his hand and shattered on the floor.
Recalling how he had been beaten by this guy at the hotel sent a fleeting chill through him.
Then, a glint of malice flashed in his eyes. It was a joke; today was the most important day for the Duan Family, with various security personnel present. How could he be afraid of such a guy?
“Xiao Yun, what are you doing here?” Duan Qingyu shouted loudly.
His voice instantly drew all eyes in the hall toward him.
“This guy really showed up!” Wilson turned to look in response to the voice, his gaze murderous.
Hao Meiyun felt a surge of joy. Ah, her son did come! Oh dear, why was he hiding in such a corner?
When Song Tianxing suddenly noticed Xiao Yun, a smug expression appeared on his face. It seemed today’s show would be quite entertaining.
Meanwhile, Ouyang Bing, who had been busy surveying the area, also spotted Xiao Yun. He was taken aback; how did he manage to sneak in?
Xiao Yun smiled bitterly to himself. His brother had advised him to keep a low profile, but trouble still found him.
He tilted his head and gave Duan Qingyu a disdainful smile, but remained silent.
Mud Horse, this guy is too arrogant!
Duan Qingyu, relying on the crowd today, completely disregarded Xiao Yun. Seeing Xiao Yun's contemptuous demeanor made him furious.
He wished he could step forward and slap Xiao Yun's face into pieces.
But considering his own abilities, he didn't dare to act...
"Someone, throw this kid out!" Duan Qingyu shouted.
Ouyang Bing was nearby, and with her duties at hand, she had no choice but to walk over. When Xiao Yun saw her, he grinned and asked with an innocent expression, "Police Flower Sister, you’re here too?"
"Duan Shao," Ouyang Bing ignored him and turned to Duan Qingyu with a cold face, asking, "What exactly happened?"
Duan Qingyu pointed at Xiao Yun and shouted frantically, "This kid is a terrorist! Arrest him!"
Just moments ago he was shouting to throw Xiao Yun out, and now he was demanding that he be arrested. The Pinnacle of Elegance has been updated.
