Chapter 723: Chapter 723 Engagement (1)

"Shut up!" Qin Han’s sinister growl was like that of a cornered beast, "So what if it’s a dead end? As long as I control the entirety of Xuandu City and Xuanjin, An Yiqing, and Gu Yelin, including both the An Family and the Gu Family, will no longer be my opponents! This world is all about power! Once I reach the pinnacle, nothing else will be a problem anymore! Including Tutian Xiaoquan! Including the Tutian Family! Including Country Bai! I will trample them all under my feet!"

"No, you can’t do this! You can’t do this!"

Qin Han’s expression flickered between ferocity and panic, and suddenly, he stood up sharply, grabbed the desk lamp in front of him, and hurled it fiercely.

"Shut up and get the hell back!"

In an instant, the study, which had been slightly illuminated, became completely dark, and in the cold, quiet room, only Qin Han stood stiffly in the darkness, breathing heavily.

After a long while, he gradually regained his composure. He reached for his phone beside him and dialed a number.

"Mr. Tutian, I have a way to catch An Yiqing and Gu Yelin, including both the An Family and the Gu Family, all in one swoop!"

...

The preparation days before the engagement ceremony passed quickly amid the hustle and bustle and festive atmosphere at both the An Family and Gu Family households.

Tomorrow, the second of May, the engagement ceremony of Gu Yelin and An Yiqing is to be grandly held at Xuanjin Grand Hotel!

All day today, the An Family was immersed in joyful bustle. During the day, under the guidance of Kong Shi and Old Lady An, An Yiqing tried on wedding dresses and selected jewelry. An Zisheng, An Zhiyan, and An Zhihang, the father and two sons, would occasionally ask An Yiqing for her final opinions on the ceremony to ensure that every detail of tomorrow would meet the wishes of their treasured daughter.

All day long, An Yiqing experienced an intense joy she had never felt before in her nineteen years, her delicate face constantly adorned with a happy smile.

In the evening, after everything had been arranged, An Yiqing had just changed her clothes when she heard a gentle knock on the door of her room.

Turning her head, she saw Kong Shi.

"Mom? What brings you here?" An Yiqing asked with a smile, looking at Kong Shi with a loving expression.

"Tomorrow, you and Ye Lin are getting engaged, let’s have a good talk tonight. I kicked your father out to the guest room; you’ll sleep with me tonight, Niuniu."

Delighted at the prospect of spending the night with her mother, An Yiqing grabbed Kong Shi’s still delicate and smooth hand and nodded with a smile, "Okay, let’s kick Dad out to the guest room tonight!"

Kong Shi sat down with An Yiqing on the large bed, reached out gently, and stroked her long, silky black hair. She looked her daughter over carefully from head to toe, her eyes showing warm affection and satisfaction, "In a blink of an eye, twenty years have passed, and our Niuniu is getting engaged! Ah, time flies so fast!"

Suddenly, Kong Shi bowed her head, softly touching the corner of her eye, a glimmer of tears seemed to flicker in her watery eyes, "For the first nineteen years, you were away from home, and I didn’t fulfill my responsibilities as a mother. Sometimes I think about it and really regret it. If I had been more vigilant back then and kept you with me every step of the way, you might not have been lost. If it wasn’t for Elder Ye who found and took you away, I might never have seen you again in this lifetime! Such a small baby, it really is..."

Seeing the sorrow in her mother’s eyes, An Yiqing hurriedly consoled her, "Mom, what are you talking about? Look at me, aren’t I fine now? And over the years, I’ve learned a lot of skills from my master and grown up healthy and lively. Don’t feel sorry, Mom. It wasn’t your fault, Dad’s, or the fault of anyone in our family. If anyone is to blame, it’s those behind the scenes who dealt such a blow to our An Family. Even if you had kept a close watch on me nineteen years ago, they might still have found a loophole."
