"Friends, thank you all for coming to my little daughter's birthday banquet." Su Hong Cheng looked forwards, his voice filled with vigor and the smile on his face, "I'm sure everyone has already guessed what I'm going to announce next. I won't waste any more time and will get straight to the point. "
He looked at his daughter, then at Xuanyuan Xue Yi, and the smile on his face became even wider, "My little daughter, Su 'Er, is the only child of the Su family, and has no brothers or sisters. Ever since she was young, she has been taken care of by the eldest son of the Xuanyuan family, Xue Yi. As her father, I feel incredibly grateful. Xuanyuan Sheng and I have been friends for many years, and we're so close that we can't be separated. Seeing how close the two of us are, and how much they love each other, I've been very happy. No matter if it's looks, character, or ability, Xue Yi is outstanding, and there are very few people in the Hua Xia who can compare to him. Moreover, he loves my little daughter very much, so if we can bring the two of them together, I won't have to worry about my little daughter's life. As such, I discussed it with brother Xuanyuan, and brother Xuanyuan happily agreed. It's just that my daughter was still young at that time, so I decided that when my daughter turns 16, all of my friends here will witness the marriage between my daughter, Su 'Er, and Xue Yi. "
As soon as Su Hong Cheng finished his speech, the hall was filled with applause and congratulatory voices. Beside him, Su Yi Cheng and Murong Xiu also smiled. From how they saw it, just being the eldest son of the Xuanyuan family was enough for Su 'Er. Moreover, Xuanyuan Xue Yi's looks and talents were all one in a million. His personal abilities were the best of the Xuanyuan family's younger generation. If they were together, at least they wouldn't have to worry about Su 'Er's safety. The Xuanyuan family was publicly acknowledged to be the safest place in the Hua Xia. As the only ancient martial arts aristocratic family that used cold weapons since ancient times in Huaxia, every member of their family had shocking abilities.
Su 'Er slightly lowered her head, her hands gripping her clothes.
No one could see the expression on her face right now … Although she was mentally prepared, when the moment came, she was still hesitant like duckweed in the wind.
"Hahahaha!" Su Hong Cheng laughed heartily and raised his right hand, "Brother Xuanyuan, if you don't bring Xueyi up, I won't be able to continue."
"I'm waiting to see Brother Su in action." Xuanyuan Sheng also stood up with a smile on his face. The moment he stood up, he instantly became the center of attention. As the protector family of the Long family, Xuanyuan Sheng was extremely famous as the patriarch. However, very few people had seen him before. This was because the Xuanyuan Family usually guarded them in secret and rarely appeared in public. Thus, the appearance of this legendary figure attracted the attention of countless people. Those who hadn't seen him before had memorized his face.
Xuanyuan Sheng brought Xuanyuan Xue Yi onto the stage. Not mentioning Xuanyuan Sheng, Xuanyuan Xue Yi was even more eye-catching. His face was like jade, and he was refined and handsome with an extraordinary bearing. He was simply like a handsome man that had walked out from a painting. With such a perfect appearance and temperament, coupled with the fact that he was the number one successor to the Xuanyuan Family, it could be said that there was no woman in the world who was not worthy of him.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh in amazement. The Su family's daughter had indeed found a good husband. It was no wonder that the Su Family was so anxious and even went to great lengths to invite so many important people to be witnesses.
Moreover, the Su family's daughter was already so beautiful at such a young age. When she grew up, she would definitely be even more amazing. Moreover, she was the only daughter of the Su family, and would inherit the Su family in the future. She was more than enough to be a good match for Xuanyuan Xue Yi. As the 2 of them stood together, everyone inwardly sighed in admiration. They were a match made in heaven. The only downside was that the Su family's daughter was a bit too young.
However, age didn't mean much to them. In the eyes of these rich and powerful families, the legal age for marriage was bullshit.
"Hello, Uncle Su." Xuanyuan Xue Yi courteously greeted Su Hong Cheng. He looked at Su 'Er, who had her head lowered, and smiled.
"Mm, haha." Su Hong Cheng laughed as he looked at Xuanyuan Xue Yi. The more he looked at him, the more he felt that he was perfect. When he looked at Su 'Er's reaction, he thought that she was shy. He chuckled as he said, "Xue Yi, if this matter is decided, it'll be for the rest of your life. You need to think about it carefully. If my family's Su 'Er isn't what you want, don't force it. Even here, you don't need to feel any pressure. No one will force you. "
Xuanyuan Xue Yi slightly smiled as he said, "I'm sure uncle Su already knows my feelings for you. Su 'Er is quiet and cute, and the first time I saw her, I wanted to take care of her for the rest of my life. As Su' Er and I grew up together, this desire became stronger and stronger every year. It was so strong that I couldn't resist it. Being able to take care of little sister Su 'Er for the rest of her life is my greatest wish and happiness. My friends and seniors can all bear witness to what I'm going to say today for the rest of your lives. "
Su Hong Cheng immediately smiled, and Su Yi Cheng nodded in satisfaction.
"Hahaha," Xuanyuan Sheng loudly laughed, "Since Xue Yi says it like that, as his father, I have nothing to say. I'm afraid that if I don't agree, he'll fall out with me. "
"Brother Xuanyuan's words are too serious." Su Hong Cheng was in a good mood. He patted Su 'Er's shoulder as he said in a low voice, "Su' Er, did you hear what Xue Yi and uncle Xuanyuan said? Is there anything you want to say to Xue Yi and uncle Xuanyuan? "
Hearing Su Hong Cheng's words, Su 'Er lowered her head and bit her lips. After a while, she weakly said, "I … I …"
"Alright, alright, if you don't want to say it, then don't say it." Su Hong Cheng patted her shoulder and shook his head as he said in a loud voice, "This daughter of mine is great, but she's too shy. Normally, she doesn't even dare to say anything to strangers, let alone in a situation like this. "
Xuanyuan Xue Yi smiled as he said, "But that's why little sister Su 'Er is so cute."
"Haha, alright!" Su Hong Cheng nodded as he continued, "Then I'll speak for my daughter. My daughter is 100% in agreement, and since Xue Yi is 100% in agreement, there's nothing else to say. After exchanging the keepsakes, after drinking and eating, my daughter will become a part of your Xuanyuan family … ai, our Su family only has one daughter in this generation, and she's our family's treasure. Xue Yi, please don't let her suffer any grievances. "
Su Hong Cheng's description of Xuanyuan Xue Yi and Su 'Er being' incredibly close 'was all nonsense. Su' Er was afraid of life, and had only seen Xuanyuan Xue Yi a few times, let alone interacted with him. However, to Su Hong Cheng and the entire Su family, it was true that Su 'Er didn't object.
This was because Su 'Er's personality was too meek and introverted, especially towards her family. She didn't know what rebellion or rejection was. Back then, when Su Hong Cheng brought this up to Su 'Er, Su' Er fell silent for a long time before obediently nodding … that was out of habit. At that time, she had no impression of Xuanyuan Xue Yi at all.
By the time she had matured and understood what that meant, her father, stepmother, uncle … they had all completely accepted this. The 3 family members that she was closest to and relied on the most had all accepted this, so the soft-hearted Su 'Er didn't have any thoughts, nor did she have the strength to resist … after all, she wasn't the independent Yun Meng Xin.
"Don't worry, lil bro Su. If Xue Yi dares to bully Su 'Er, as his father, I won't let him off." Xuanyuan Sheng said as he nodded.
Xuanyuan Xue Yi's gaze was sincere as he said in a serious tone, "I promise to Uncle Su and all of the Su family's elders that no matter what happens, I won't let Su 'Er suffer any grievances. I will do my best to make Su' Er the happiest person in the world."
"Very well!" Su Hong Cheng vigorously nodded, "With these words, I feel completely at ease."
Su Hong Cheng turned and looked at the people in the hall as he said in a clear voice, "Friends, my family's daughter and the Xuanyuan family's Xue Yi are quite fond of each other. Brother Xuanyuan and I have been discussing this matter for many years. Today is my daughter's 16th birthday, and with all of you here to witness it, we will use this opportunity to officially settle this matter. Does anyone … have any objections to this matter? "
Su Hong Cheng's last sentence was evidently just a formality, and was used to get the guests to agree with him. Indeed, as soon as he said this, the crowd erupted into cheers.
"The Su family's princess and the Xuanyuan family's young master are a match made in heaven. This is a wonderful thing."
"A perfect match, I'm so envious."
"Congratulations, brother Su, for finding a good husband for your daughter. It would be great if my daughter could find such a good husband in the future."
"Lil bro Su, we're just waiting to drink the wedding wine. Don't make us wait too long, hahahaha …"
… …
… …
Waves of cheers, congratulations, and blessings sounded out. Su Hong Cheng and the Xuanyuan father and son all had faint smiles on their faces. To them, this matter was already set in stone. Now that it had been decided, the wedding would take place in 2 years at the latest.
The only person on the stage who had an abnormal expression on her face was Su 'Er. She didn't say a single word, nor was she able to. In fact, she didn't even raise her head to look at anyone.
"I have an objection!"
Amidst the cheers, this sudden shout was incredibly ear-piercing. Everyone stared in shock, and the lively hall instantly fell silent as everyone looked towards the source of the voice.
In the middle of the back of the hall, a young man dressed in a white formal suit stood up. On his head, he was wearing an ill-fitting cap. The brim of the cap was pulled very low, so only half of his face could be seen.
His existence was very abrupt in many people's eyes. This was because the people closest to him had only just discovered him, and none of them knew when he had appeared. Even Su Hong Cheng and the others, who had been standing on the stage the entire time, realised that there was a person sitting there. White was a very eye-catching colour, but they couldn't remember seeing such a person before. Su Hong Cheng had been welcoming all of the guests at the entrance, but he couldn't remember receiving a person wearing a white suit.
