Chapter 434
The central plaza had undergone a complete transformation.
Previously, the decorative materials had just been stacked up in storage, but now, they had been arranged into breathtaking displays.
- A dreamy kingdom of balloons.
- A floral paradise, like something out of a fairy tale.
- Mythical columns straight out of legend.
- Soft candlelight, ambient glow, and projection screens displaying words of love.
This wasn’t a birthday banquet.
It was a full-scale proposal scene.
While Yu Lu stood frozen in shock, the rest of the family members rushed forward, eyes shining with excitement.
"What’s going on?! What’s going on?!" Qin Tiantian shrieked, practically bouncing in place.
"We just came out and saw this too," Qin Yi said, grinning. "But it’s pretty obvious—someone is planning a very official proposal."
Huge posters had been set up—some featuring solo shots of Ji Fei, others capturing candid moments between her and Qin Xian.
"That one’s mine!" Qin Tiantian squealed with delight, pointing at one of the photos.
"Wait, so Second Brother never actually proposed before?" Qin Jiaxi asked in surprise.
Qin Wenqiang chuckled.
"They were talking about holding a wedding, but I didn’t expect him to go straight for the proposal first. He really does follow through on his words."
"The level of detail in this… this wasn’t done on a whim," Qin Jing noted analytically. "This must have been planned for a long time."
"Of course!" Qin Xiaoyu chimed in. "See those flowers? I distinctly remember Er Sao mentioning once that she liked blue hydrangeas—and Er Ge literally bought up every single one in the city!"
"Alright, let’s go help!" Qin Chao called out as he approached. "Cousin, you handle the orchestra."
"Why didn’t you guys tell me earlier?!" Qin Yi nearly exploded.
"Because it was supposed to be a surprise!" Qin Chao retorted. "But don’t worry—I brought in your favorite orchestra. The song was handpicked by our dear brother, everything’s already set up, you just have to make sure it’s played right!"
Before Qin Chao could finish his explanation, Qin Yi had already bolted toward the musicians, full steam ahead.
When Qin Chao turned back around, he saw the rest of the siblings standing at attention—all staring at him expectantly.
Each one desperate for their own mission.
Once everyone received their assignments, they rushed off to do their part.
But when they arrived at their respective areas, they found that each station was already being overseen by professionals.
These were people who knew Qin Xian’s plan inside-out, but weren’t familiar with the Qin estate—so they needed the family’s help.
Naturally, the two groups quickly introduced themselves before jumping into work.
At the photo station, Qin Wenqiang noticed a woman efficiently coordinating through a walkie-talkie and approached her out of curiosity.
When she turned around, she gave a polished, professional smile.
"You must be one of the Qin family’s young ladies. Hello, I’m Pei Mingxuan—Ji Fei’s business partner and manager from her entertainment career. Qin Xian personally invited me to assist with today’s preparations."
"Oh! Nice to meet you! I’m the eldest cousin."
Meanwhile, over at the orchestra, Qin Yi met with Jing Yan, the conductor.
"When did you guys get here?" Qin Yi asked.
Jing Yan rubbed his temples.
"Middle of the night."
"Damn. That’s rough."
"Eh, it’s for a once-in-a-lifetime proposal for a brother, so of course we’re here. Originally, this was supposed to happen in our city, but the moment the proposal ring was finished… well, I guess he couldn’t wait anymore. Hahaha."
Every section of the event crew and family members quickly bonded, enthusiastically discussing the upcoming surprise proposal.
Meanwhile…
Yu Lu finally grasped what was happening.
She knew that Ji Fei and Qin Xian were already legally married.
But seeing the grand scale of Qin Xian’s proposal plans?
It felt like a massive slap in the face.
Not just because of how extravagant and romantic it was—but because of the timing.
Grandpa Qin’s birthday banquet was a major event in the business world. Many influential figures would be attending.
By choosing to propose the day before the banquet, Qin Xian was making a statement.
The proposal would be the hot topic of conversation.
Everyone’s attention would be on Ji Fei.
No one would whisper about their lack of a wedding anymore.
No one would question whether their marriage was real.
Instead, everyone would see just how deeply Qin Xian loved Ji Fei.
Everyone would see how much Grandpa Qin valued his granddaughter-in-law.
At that point, trying to break them up would make Yu Lu look like an absolute clown.
Or worse—anyone who tried to interfere would be publicly hated.
Yu Lu had already failed to seduce Qin Xian.
And now… she had to witness this.
She snapped.
Without thinking, she spun on her heel and stormed back toward the main estate.
Her mind was in shambles.
She had to destroy this.
She had to ruin it.
But just as she reached the entrance of the new building—
Two black-suited bodyguards suddenly appeared, blocking her path.
Luo Fei stepped forward, smiling faintly.
"Miss, I don’t care who you are. Qin Xian gave strict orders—you are not allowed to disturb his wife.
"You can wait outside and watch the ceremony like everyone else."
Yu Lu gritted her teeth.
"I left something inside."
She had to break this apart.
She had to wreck everything.
Just then, another woman exited the building.
She had the same sharp, seductive presence as Yu Lu—but taller and more commanding.
She glanced Yu Lu up and down, then casually remarked—
"No problem, Luo Fei. Let’s follow her. If she tries anything, just knock her out."
Yu Lu’s face twisted.
"What—what the hell are you doing?! I’m a member of the Qin family! I’m—"
The woman cut her off with an icy smirk.
"If you weren’t assigned a role here, that means you’re not considered family.
"So either you leave on your own—or we help you.
"And trust me… you won’t like the second option."
Yu Lu instantly realized that this woman wasn’t someone she could easily handle.
With her plans crumbling around her, she had no choice but to stomp away angrily, heading back toward the main residence to complain to the elders.
Elsewhere…
Luo Fei turned back.
"Did the dress get delivered?"
"Of course! Designed by yours truly," the woman replied proudly.
Luo Fei raised an eyebrow.
"You sure Qin Xian will actually let Ji Fei wear something designed by you?"
"Hey, I have conservative options too, okay? I know how possessive Qin Xian is—if it weren’t modest, he wouldn’t even let her out of the bedroom. But trust me, it’s still stunning."
As they spoke, another staff member walked up.
"Sister, Fei-jie has changed into the dress. Based on the schedule, the event should start in about an hour."
The woman nodded and relayed the message through the walkie-talkie.
Instantly, the venue buzzed with even more activity.
Another assistant chuckled.
"I just saw Yu Rouyin and Sun Man earlier. They rushed over straight from their film sets!"
Meanwhile, back at the main residence…
The elders had already received word about the upcoming proposal.
Qin Xian’s parents even changed into new outfits, eagerly waiting for the announcement.
And then—
Yu Lu stormed in, red-eyed with frustration.
Qin Xian’s parents exchanged glances.
Then, with a single look—
They silently signaled Fifth Aunt Qin.
Without hesitation, Fifth Aunt intercepted Yu Lu and dragged her straight toward Lü Meihe, ensuring she wouldn’t cause any trouble.
What do you think?
