When the group returned to the hall, Old Master Tang first expressed his gratitude to the guests who had come to celebrate his birthday.

Then, he called Tang Yu and Su Muyue to his side and announced to everyone.

"Dear friends and family, I have another joyous announcement to share today.

Our Tang Family has decided to form an alliance with the Su Family. From today onwards, Su Muyue is half a granddaughter-in-law of our Tang Family."

As soon as Old Master Tang finished his announcement, the guests at the banquet immediately started applauding.

The members of the Su Family were grinning from ear to ear.

In a corner, Ye Chen, who was sipping red wine, suddenly had a dark expression on his face!

He strode towards Tang Yu with a murderous aura.

Su Muyue was the woman he had his eyes on.

Anyone who dared to touch her would die!

[Holy crap, he's coming, he's coming with a murderous aura. Damn it, why is it always like this? Am I destined to get beaten up today?]

At this moment, Tang Yu's inner complaints echoed again.

Su Muyue glanced over and indeed saw Ye Chen walking over with a murderous look.

This left Su Muyue somewhat shocked.

The Su Family had come to attend the banquet today, so naturally, they hadn't brought any bodyguards.

But Ye Chen was really here? Just like that guy said.

"I do not agree to this marriage."

Standing three meters away, Ye Chen shouted angrily with a cold face.

Everyone's eyes focused on him.

The guests attending today were all noble families from Suzhou and Hangzhou. Except for a few members of the Su Family, no one knew who Ye Chen was.

Su Chongshan remembered that this Ye Chen was a new bodyguard in their family.

Seeing him causing trouble, Su Chongshan's face darkened, and he stepped forward to shout.

"Who do you think you are? A mere bodyguard, do you think you have the right to meddle in the Su Family's affairs?"

A flash of killing intent appeared in Ye Chen's eyes.

If it weren't for the fact that the person speaking was Su Muyue's father, he would have already made a move.

He was the mighty Dragon King! Dominating the seas abroad!

Even European royalty and nobility wouldn't dare speak to him like this!

If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

He glared at the Su Family members, pointing at them one by one.

"The prestigious Su Family, sacrificing a girl's happiness for the sake of family prosperity, do you have any shame?"

[Hahaha, here it comes, the classic verbal attack. It's one thing to meddle in other people's affairs, but then you have to beat someone up, play the hero saving the beauty, and in the end, isn't it the Su Family that suffers?

But hey, it's a feel-good novel protagonist, after all. Success built on countless bones, everyone else is just a stepping stone for you.]

Tang Yu's inner complaints echoed again.

According to the original plot, Su Muyue was forced by her family to agree to the marriage.

In her most desperate moment, Dragon King Ye Chen stepped in and took her away!

After breaking the chains in her heart, Ye Chen became her only support!

She then fell in love with Ye Chen and became his first harem member!

But at this moment, Su Muyue frowned slightly, feeling neither moved nor surprised.

After hearing Tang Yu's inner thoughts for a while, her mindset had completely changed.

"Outrageous, a mere bodyguard dares to cause trouble, throw him out!"

Su Chongshan roared in anger.

Soon, a tall man in a suit came running over, the Tang Family's head bodyguard, He Jin.

He Jin was a retired special forces soldier. To be the head bodyguard of the Tang Family, his skills were naturally top-notch, and he was loyal to the Tang Family.

According to the original plot, he was the first to make a move and also the first to be killed.

After he was killed, it would soon be Tang Yu's turn to suffer.

"Don't be impulsive." Tang Yu hurriedly rushed up to stop He Jin and advised, "Let's talk it out, it's my grandfather's birthday today, it's not good to start a fight."

Seeing the young master speak up, He Jin stopped.

"See, Young Master Tang has class, he doesn't stoop to the level of such a barbarian."

"If it were me, I would have dragged him out and fed him to the dogs."

"I bet he wants to steal Young Master Tang's woman, but with his shabby appearance, does he even deserve it?"

"Young Master Tang, give him a couplet to shut him up."

The surrounding onlookers praised Tang Yu's demeanor while taking the opportunity to belittle Ye Chen.

This was a common pattern in feel-good novels.

First, bystanders would fuel the protagonist's anger, then the antagonist would jump out and boast a bit, only to be beaten to death with one punch.

Tang Yu was panicking inside after hearing these comments.

Why are you shouting so loudly!

Can't you be a bit nicer?

You enjoy cursing, but I'm the one who'll end up in the crematorium!!!

Sure enough, after hearing the bystanders' words, Ye Chen's face turned livid, and he stared at Tang Yu with a deadly glare.

It was all this bastard's fault. If it weren't for him pestering Su Muyue, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

[Holy crap, why are you staring at me? It's not like I cursed you. I even stopped people from making a move, what more do you want? If you want to take her, just take her, don't come at me, you stupid idiot.]

Tang Yu felt a chill down his spine from Ye Chen's stare and was inwardly lamenting.

This guy is the Dragon King, even if all the Tang Family's bodyguards combined, they wouldn't be a match for him!

If he really gets angry, it won't be long before everyone can come to the Tang Family for my funeral.

Su Muyue, who had been listening for a while, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Seeing Su Muyue laugh, Ye Chen's expression softened a bit.

He thought Su Muyue was laughing because he stood up for her.

So he gave Su Muyue a charming smile, his mouth curving into an astonishing arc, and walked over.

"Muyue, no one can sacrifice your freedom for their benefit. With me here, you can go wherever you want, and anyone who stops you will die!"

Tang Yu quietly took two steps back, feeling a bit excited.

[Yes, go ahead, get together and leave quickly.]

In the original plot, Tang Yu would have already led the bodyguards to make a move by now.

But now, he had stopped the bodyguards!

As long as this guy takes Su Muyue away, what happens next has nothing to do with him.

Ye Chen reached out to grab Su Muyue's hand, intending to take her away from the Tang Family.

Before his hand could touch Su Muyue, she had already taken two steps back, looking at Ye Chen with a cold face.

"What are you doing? Are you crazy? When was my freedom ever sacrificed?"

After listening to Tang Yu's inner thoughts for a while, she had already understood the situation.

It seemed she was in a novel world.

According to the normal plot, she would have eloped with this guy by now.

The thought of becoming part of this guy's harem made her extremely repulsed.

Ye Chen's face showed shock, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

This woman dared to refuse him?

Didn't she understand that when the whole world betrayed her, he was the only one willing to betray the world for her?

Then he reacted, smiling at Su Muyue.

"Muyue, I know what you're afraid of. Don't worry, with me here, the Tang Family won't dare do anything to you."

After speaking, he coldly stared at Tang Yu.

Su Muyue didn't dare to leave with him, she must have been coerced by this guy!

A mere Young Master Tang? What a joke!

If this were abroad, he could have a hundred mercenaries wipe out the Tang Family in an instant with just one order.

[Are you fucking brain-dead? What does this have to do with me? I even stopped the bodyguards. And Su Muyue, you're really cruel, is it worth acting this much to protect him? I'll give you a million, just leave quickly, stop torturing me, man.]

Tang Yu felt like dying at this moment.

These two people, they're both out of their minds.

"You've overthought it. You're just a bodyguard for the Su Family. From today onwards, you're fired. Please leave immediately."

Su Muyue's beautiful face showed a trace of anger as she pointed to the door and shouted.

But this anger wasn't just directed at Ye Chen, it was also at Tang Yu.

This bastard, why does he still think I'm involved with Ye Chen?

The more Su Muyue spoke like this, the sweeter Ye Chen felt inside.

See, she's protecting me by deliberately playing the bad guy!

She has feelings for me!

No wonder she's the woman the Dragon King has his eyes on, so understanding and considerate.

So he looked at Su Muyue with more tenderness and affection.

His smile became more confident and charming as he spoke.

"Muyue, I won't leave you. With me by your side, you don't have to worry about anything. The Tang Family is nothing."
