Although Lou Manqing’s words might have been displeasing, one could sense his sincerity.
“I’ll have Xinxin come over. If she’s okay with it, then we have no objections,” Third Master Ming stated.
“Thank you, Uncle.”
Third Master Ming had developed quite a favorable impression of Lou Manqing. If Xinxin agreed, having him as a son-in-law would be excellent.
Soon, Ming Wanxin arrived and was surprised to see Lou Manqing. “It’s you?”
“Xinxin, have you met him before?”
“I saw him once at Princess Wang Jinhe’s house.” She had been quite stunned at the time, never having seen someone so good-looking.
It was unbelievable that the person who professed his affection for her turned out to be him. It was truly inconceivable.
Seeing her daughter’s joyful expression, Third Master Ming knew that his daughter had agreed.
“It seems Xinxin has no objections.”
Lou Manqing had always assumed that Ming Wanxin had never seen him before. However, seeing her expression, he believed she was pleased with him.
“Uncle, I have already written to my parents. They will come to discuss the next steps with you. What do you think?” Lou Manqing asked Third Master Ming and the others.
Third Master Ming looked at Lou Manqing in disbelief. Did this young man already assume they would agree?
“Sure.” However, he was right; it was indeed necessary for the elders to discuss the following matters.
Ming Wanxin sat next to Lou Manqing and curiously asked, “You’re so good-looking. No one likes you?”
“I don’t like them.”
“Why?”
“They’re too ugly.” They all had ugly souls. How could anyone compare to his adorable Xiner?
Ming Wanxin blinked and pointed to her own face. “I’m ugly too.”
Lou Manqing looked at Ming Wanxin’s round face and shook his head. “Not ugly, beautiful.”
Wang Jinhe watched from the side, unable to stop laughing. It seemed Lou Manqing was a bit hypocritical.
If others are ugly, does that mean the person he likes isn’t ugly?
Ming Wanxin found his words amusing, laughing heartily.
The two of them chatted quietly, gradually moving on to discuss outside matters, leaving Ming Wanxin amazed.
“I wish I could go too,” Ming Wanxin said wistfully, envious.
Unfortunately, her parents wouldn’t allow her to go.
“In the future, I’ll take you out to have fun. I know all the places with delicious food, and I’ll take you to try them all,” Lou Manqing promised.
As soon as she heard about food, Ming Wanxin’s eyes lit up. “Really?”
“Yes, it’s true. There are two chefs on the number one building who cook delicious meals. One specializes in desserts. In the future, when you visit, I’ll have them prepare something different for you every day,” Lou Manqing assured her.
Ming Wanxin nodded eagerly. “Okay.”
Third Master and Third Madam Ming Three felt a bit incredulous that this was their daughter, fearing she might be lured away by food.
However, they were extremely pleased with Lou Manqing; he was indeed a great son-in-law.
“Trouble is brewing. The Chen family has arrived, claiming to propose a marriage,” the steward rushed in frantically to inform them.
“How audacious,” Third Master Ming hadn’t even gotten angry yet, but Lou Manqing was furious.
Now that Xiner was his wife, how dare that person from the Chen family come to forcibly propose marriage.
Ming Wanxin instinctively grasped Lou Manqing’s clothes, a hint of fear on her face.
“Don’t worry, I’m here,” Lou Manqing reassured her.
Lou Manqing’s words seemed to have a magical calming effect on Ming Wanxin as she gradually grew calmer. “Hmm.”
“Let’s go out and have a look,” Third Master Ming suggested.
“I’ll come along too,” Wang Jinhe stood up and said.
As they stepped outside, they witnessed the arrogant demeanor of the Chen family members.
“Father-in-law, I’ve come to propose marriage,” the person from the Chen family smiled upon seeing Third Master Ming.
Lou Manqing was completely infuriated by their arrogance.
He strode over, grabbed the person’s collar, and landed a punch on their chin with such force that it dislocated their jaw.
“Who are you calling father-in-law? That’s my father-in-law,” Lou Manqing declared.
Third Master Ming raised an eyebrow, observing Lou Manqing, as he rubbed his jaw. This son-in-law was quite something.
Looking at the pained expression of the other person, it seemed the punch had landed hard.
“Well done,” Ming Wanxin remarked, unable to contain her excitement, interjected.
“Ming Wanxin, you despicable person…”
Lou Manqing, hearing the other person daring to insult Xiner, grew even more displeased.
It seemed he had been too lenient with the initial punch, allowing the other person to still speak.
Then Ming Wanxin witnessed Lou Manqing single-handedly assaulting the Chen family members.
The previously arrogant individual suddenly appeared pitiful, resembling a child, after being severely beaten.
Ming Wanxin covered her own jaw, shaking her head. “That was a brutal beating. Brother Lou, keep it up; Even his parents won’t even recognize him.”
“Alright.” Lou Manqing naturally followed Ming Wanxin’s lead and proceeded to specifically target the opponent’s face, rendering it utterly unrecognizable.
Once Lou Manqing paused, Ming Wanxin gleefully ran behind him, poking her head out from behind him to gaze at the disfigured face of the opponent.
“So ugly. How dare you, looking like that, come to propose marriage in my house?” Ming Wanxin taunted.
“Indeed quite ugly,” Wang Jinhe nodded in agreement from the side.
“Princess Jinhe, do you also find them really ugly?” Ming Wanxin inquired.
Wang Jinhe chuckled and nodded, “Yes, quite ugly. How can such a person dare to live in this world?”
“Go back and inform your elders. If they have anything to say, come to Prince Yu’s Royal Mansion to speak with Princess Wang Jinhe. If you think her status isn’t sufficient, we can also go to the Emperor,” Wang Jinhe stated coldly.
“Ming Wanxin is my good friend. How dare you have the audacity to forcibly marry her as a concubine?”
The members of the Chen family were at a loss, realizing the strong ties between the Ming family’s third branch and the Royal Mansion.
It seemed the beating they and the young Master received was all in vain.
“Let’s go.”
Watching the arrogant members of the Chen family leave dejectedly, Ming Wanxin was overjoyed, finally seeing the Chen family being put in their place.
But Brother Qing was truly amazing.
She mentioned that he disfigure the person to the point where their parents wouldn’t recognize them, and indeed, their face was ruined.
“Brother Qing, do you think his face will recover?”
“If it does, I’ll give him another beating.”
