Chapter 3: Chapter 3: The Dragon King Appears
When the group of people returned to the hall, Grandpa Tang first expressed his gratitude to the guests who attended his birthday.
He then called Tang Yu and Su Muyue to present themselves and announced to everyone: "Dear family and friends, today I have another good piece of news to share with you."
"Our Tang family has decided to marry a member of the Su family. From today on, Su Muyue will be the political granddaughter of our Tang family."
After Mr. Tang made the announcement, the banquet guests immediately began to applaud.
The Su family, in particular, was delighted.
Ye Chen, who was in a corner savoring red wine, tensed upon hearing the news, and his face darkened.
With a murderous expression on his face, he walked toward Tang Yu.
Su Muyue is the woman he likes.
Anyone who tried to get involved with her would die!
[Shit, here he comes, coming with murderous intent.]
[Why are you acting like this? Am I destined to get hit today?]
At that moment, Tang Yu's complaints sounded again.
Su Muyue glanced sideways after hearing this and saw Ye Chen approaching with a murderous look on his face.
This surprised Su Muyue a bit.
All the members of the Su family were present at the banquet, so the presence of a bodyguard was unexpected.
However, Ye Chen was there, just as this guy had predicted.
"I disagree with this marriage," Ye Chen coldly shouted, stopping three meters away.
All eyes turned to him.
The guests were mostly nobles and famous figures from Su Hang. Except for a few members of the Su family, no one knew who Ye Chen was.
Su Chongshan recalled that this man named Ye Chen was the new bodyguard of the Su family.
Seeing him come out to cause trouble, Su Chongshan's face darkened, and he stood up, shouting.
"Who are you? Just a mere bodyguard dictating the affairs of my Su family?"
A trace of murderous intent flashed in Ye Chen's eyes.
If the person who said this hadn't been Su Muyue's father, he would have acted by now.
I am a powerful Dragon King! I travel the world and across foreign countries!
The princes and nobles of Europe fear me! They wouldn't dare to speak to me like that!
He looked at all the members of the Su family and pointed at them one by one.
"A distinguished family like the Sus has to sacrifice the happiness of a young woman for the prosperity of the family. Do you still feel any sense of shame?"
[Hahaha, here it comes, the classic scene of the novel has begun.]
[Forget about meddling in other people's affairs, then you'll give them a punch and act like a hero saving the beauty; wouldn't the Su family end up being the one to have bad luck?]
[But as the protagonist of a great novel, don't let people like this get to you. After all, they're all your springboard, so splash water on them.]
Tang Yu's complaints were heard again.
According to the original plot, Su Muyue was forced by her family to accept the marriage.
When she was most desperate, the Dragon King rescued her!
After Ye Chen broke the chains that bound her, he became her only support, and she fell deeply in love with him, becoming the first member of Ye Chen's harem!
But at that moment, Su Muyue frowned slightly, not moving or showing surprise.
After listening to Tang Yu's thoughts for a while, her perspective completely changed.
"You've gone too far. How dare a mere bodyguard cause trouble? Get him out of the hall!" Su Chongshan shouted angrily.
At that moment, a tall man dressed in a suit approached. It was He Jin, the captain of the Tang family's bodyguards.
He Jin was a retired soldier from the special forces, so being the captain of the Tang family's bodyguards, he was naturally very skilled and loyal to the Tang family.
According to the original plot, he was the first to act and the first to be killed.
After being beaten to death, it would soon be Tang Yu's turn to have bad luck.
"Don't be impulsive."
Tang Yu hurriedly stopped He Jin and persuaded him: "If you have something to say, say it calmly. Today is my grandfather's birthday, and it's not appropriate to ruin the atmosphere."
He Jin stopped when he saw his young master speaking.
"You see, young Tang is still of great quality and doesn't care about these barbarians," He Jin said.
"If it were me, I would have thrown him out, beaten him to death, and fed him to the dogs."
"I think he probably wants to steal the woman from young Tang. But is he worthy of that, with such a poor appearance?"
"Young Tang, give him a beating."
The spectators praised Tang Yu and even kicked Ye Chen, following the usual routine of urban novels.
First, use bystanders to increase the protagonist's anger, then the villain will jump in and say a few words, and then he will be beaten down.
Tang Yu panicked upon hearing these comments.
Why are they screaming so much?
Can't they have a better attitude?
It's great that they curse at people, but in the end, the one who will be beaten to death will be me!
In fact, after hearing the words of these spectators, Ye Chen's face turned pale, and he looked at Tang Yu resentfully.
This guy is to blame. If he hadn't been bothering Su Muyue, how would it have come to this?
[Fuck, why are you looking at me? I'm not the one scolding you.]
[I haven't even asked anyone for help; what else do you want? If you want to hit someone, do it quickly. Don't come for me, stinky idiot.]
Tang Yu's rear tensed as he looked at him and sighed inwardly.
This guy is the Dragon King, and not even all the bodyguards of the entire Tang family together would be enough to fight him alone!
If you really make him angry, soon everyone in the Tang house could face disastrous consequences.
Su Muyue, hearing all this, couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Seeing Su Muyue smile, Ye Chen's expression softened a bit.
He thought she was laughing because she stood up for her.
Then he smiled mischievously, forming an impressive arc with the corner of his mouth, and approached her saying, "Muyue, no one has the right to sacrifice your freedom for benefits. With me here, you can go wherever you want. Whoever stops you will die!"
Tang Yu beside him took two steps back silently to distance himself, feeling somewhat relieved.
[Yes, hurry up. If you manage to take Su Muyue away, leave immediately.]
In the original plot, Tang Yu had already sent his bodyguard to act.
Now, by stopping his bodyguard, if he allows this guy to take Su Muyue away, whatever happens next will have nothing to do with him.
Ye Chen approached to take Su Muyue's hand, ready to pull her away from the Tang family.
However, before he could touch Su Muyue, she stepped back two paces and looked at Ye Chen with a cold expression.
"What are you doing? Are you crazy? When has my freedom been sacrificed?"
After hearing Tang Yu's thoughts for a while, Su Muyue understood the situation.
The world she lived in seemed to be a fictional world from some cheap novel.
According to the usual plot, this guy should take her away now.
The idea of becoming this guy's harem disgusted her greatly.
Ye Chen's face was surprised, and a trace of anger shone in his eyes.
How dare this woman reject him?
Doesn't she understand that when the whole world betrays her, he is willing to betray the entire world for her?
He then reacted again, looked at Su Muyue, and smiled.
"Muyue, I know what you're afraid of. Don't worry, as long as I'm here, the Tang family won't dare to do anything to you."
After saying this, he looked at Tang Yu coldly.
Su Muyue didn't dare to follow him. Surely that guy was pressuring her!
Just the eldest son of the Tang family? What a joke!
This means that in this country, one can't just kill people.
If she were abroad, with an order, she could send a hundred mercenaries and the Tang family could be annihilated in an instant.
[Are you brain dead or what? Do you care about my trivial matters? I told the bodyguard not to attack you.]
[And Su Muyue, you are a very cruel woman. Are you acting like this to protect him?]
[I'll give you a million, but leave quickly, don't torture me anymore.]
Tang Yu was desperate.
Something was wrong in the minds of these two people.
"You're thinking too much. You're just a bodyguard of the Su family. You're fired starting today. Please leave right now."
A trace of anger appeared on Su Muyue's beautiful face; she pointed to the door and shouted.
This anger was directed not only at Ye Chen but also at Tang Yu.
Why does this bastard keep thinking that she and Ye Chen get along well?
The more Su Muyue said this, the more Ye Chen liked her.
You see, she was trying to protect me, so she deliberately played a bad role!
She has me in her heart!
In fact, she is the kind of woman I like: understanding, sensible, and considerate.
Then he looked at Su Muyue with a slightly gentle and affectionate gaze.
The smile on his lips grew more wicked and confident as he spoke.
"Muyue, I will never let you go. With me by your side, you don't have to worry about anything. The Tang family is nothing to me."
