Chapter 618: Chapter 618: Refusing a Marriage Proposal_1 Chapter 618: Chapter 618: Refusing a Marriage Proposal_1 “Hahaha!

How could that be?

What kind of international joke are you playing?”

Qin Qinglong was furious, and before he could think of a response, his follower preempted him by shouting with a face red with anger, “Xu Fan, huh, just a cast-off from a family.

It’s already quite an achievement that he hasn’t starved to death over the years, how could he possibly become a company boss, let alone the boss of Yifan Beauty that produces miraculous products!”

“What else can I say but that you are ignorant?”

Wang Xiaolong sneered, “Then today, big brother here will school you on some common sense.

The ‘Yi Fan’ in Yifan Beauty is a pun on the ‘fan’ character from Xu Fan’s name and the ‘Yi’ sound in Xu Yixue sister-in-law’s name.

Who would have thought, the grand Qin Family can be so impetuous, failing to even properly purchase a gift.

Next time, could you please do a little investigation before sending a gift?”

Upon hearing the explanation, the follower was stunned, opened his mouth, very unwilling, yet didn’t know how to retort.

How should one put it, their Young Master’s gift would be considered precious by anyone, a Youth Preserving Elixir that costs 4,880,000 and isn’t something you can purchase simply because you want to.

After all, once it was released, it was immediately sold out, and it could only be purchased through others, naturally at a cost far greater than its original price, even necessitating a small favor.

However, offering a gift with a borrowed glory, a flower plucked by another, how awkward it is upon reflection.

Qin Qinglong’s sharp gaze swept over his follower, anger splattering from his eyes!

The follower felt a shudder all over his body, a cold sweat ‘suddenly’ broke out on his front and back.

His heart panicked, he dared not utter another word, and hung his head low.

The purchase of the gift was indeed handled by the follower.

Qin Qinglong himself had no time to deal with such mundane matters and rarely paid attention to the news of the Secular World; naturally, he had never heard of the newly registered Yifan Beauty Company.

When the follower recommended to him how wonderful the Beauty Preservation Elixir was, he also found it quite suitable, and decided to use it as the gift, even rewarding the follower handsomely.

Unfortunately, he did not get to enjoy his pleasure for long before he was met with others’ merciless mockery in front of several VIPs.

In his heart, he had already decided that such negligence in the follower’s work must be severely punished afterward.

However, he was, after all, Qin Qinglong, and even if his mood was affected, he quickly returned to normal, and smiled, saying:

“Auntie, this is my bad.

When I saw this gift, I just found it very fitting for you and bought it right away.

And everyone around me was praising it too.

Out of trust, I didn’t bother to investigate.

Ah, I also didn’t expect Mr.

Xu to be so young and able to run such a lucrative company akin to a cornucopia, still thinking he was the former outcast of the family.

Indeed, this gift may seem insignificant in the eyes of the wealthy Mr.

Xu.

However, I still hope auntie, you can accept this gift, as it is a token of my respect.”

“Heh, truly a dragon among men, even your words are loaded, your ability to speak with such skill must be unmatched in Yanjing,” Wang Xiaolong murmured under his breath.

As a love rival, he couldn’t stand the other’s haughty attitude, acting like he was superior to everyone.

ṅοѵǤօ.сο

Qin Qinglong glanced sideways at Wang Xiaolong, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

He had long been annoyed by this young man who always mocked him; however, showing any reaction in such a setting would only cause him further loss of face.

His expression changed swiftly as he turned his attention to Xu Yue; his eyes brightened upon seeing her, feeling she was even prettier than her photos, and couldn’t help but smile warmly and brightly.

He stepped forward in greeting, extending his hand, with a low and magnetic voice, “I presume this beautiful young lady is Miss Xu Yue, it truly is a case of seeing is believing.

I’m Qin Qinglong, very fortunate to meet you.”

Originally, he also had a meeting gift specially prepared for Xu Yue.

However, given what had just occurred with the Beauty Preservation Elixir, it would not be wise to make the same mistake and bring further embarrassment upon himself.

“Thank you.”

Xu Yue, maintaining the politeness of the upper class, courteously responded with a phrase, but the tone of her voice was distinctly aloof, making it clear she did not want too much contact with him.

Thus, she even avoided the courtesy of a handshake, pretending not to see.

Qin Qinglong couldn’t help but frown slightly, but put on a natural act as he withdrew his hand, all the while brewing with anger inside.

Ever since entering the private box, not a single thing had gone his way, repeatedly facing setbacks and embarrassments.

Now, even a handshake was rejected.

Were it anyone else, they would’ve probably thrown a fit on the spot and torn off the mask of civility.

But he was trying extremely hard to restrain himself.

No wonder this man had achieved so much in the ancient martial arts realm, for he possessed extraordinary endurance and self-control.

“Mr.

Qin, your intentions are good, and we appreciate them, but the gift is too much.

Please take it back.”

Xu Fan spoke up, chuckling lightly, “If there’s nothing else, then please excuse us from seeing you out.”

“Hehe, actually, there is something else, specially taking advantage of the precious occasion of my aunt’s birthday celebration.”

Qin Qinglong laughed out loud, straightening his stance, “Miss Xu Yue and I are betrothed, so I would like to discuss with my aunt about when Miss Xu Yue and I can get engaged.

Once it’s settled, it will be easier for me to prepare on my end.”

Indeed, he had brought up the issue, and Xu Yue couldn’t help but feel a wave of nervousness and panic, instinctively clutching onto Zhang Qingning’s arm.

The latter gave her a reassuring look and immediately said to Qin Qinglong, “Young Master Qin, my daughter Yue is still young and doesn’t wish to consider marriage so soon.”

Qin Qinglong’s gaze turned chilly.

Seeing that the conversation had reached this point, Xu Fan stood up, and looking coldly at Qin Qinglong, he said with a heavy voice, “Qin Qinglong, you should give up this idea as soon as possible.

Better yet, don’t even think about it because my sister is definitely not going to marry you.”

“Mr.

Xu, I don’t like hearing those words from you.”

Qin Qinglong chuckled quietly, saying in a calm tone, “If Miss Xu Yue and I were to get married, then you, along with my aunt, would become family.

This way, the Xu Family would no longer oppose you.

Moreover, I have acquired several properties around the second ring road; Mr.

Xu, feel free to choose one, and I will gift it to you.

Additionally, you can select one of the many profitable businesses of the Qin Family; the profits will be yours, and the losses will be ours.

Isn’t that a good deal?”

Having said that, Qin Qinglong looked confident that Xu Fan would be driven by profit, a smile spread across his face.

Chen Baishi and his entourage were stunned by the substantial offer he had made.

Such a generous “bridal price” was unprecedented; if outsiders were to hear this, they would likely be filled with envy and hatred.

If Xu Fan were to agree, he would gain both fame and wealth, and from then on, he could firmly establish himself in Yanjing.

Perhaps one day, he might even replace the current Xu Family and ascend to the ranks of Yanjing’s four major families.

Unfortunately, Xu Fan was uninterested in any of it.

Even if the offer were ten times more substantial, it wouldn’t sway him.

Because if he wanted those things, Xu Fan could easily achieve them on his own.

Xu Yunji, Wang Xiaolong, and Cui Dong, the trio, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but cover their bellies and laugh like pigs, their smiles weird and full of mockery.

Qin Qinglong’s face started to show an ugly expression.

“Mr.

Qin, you should leave.

I will not agree to this marriage,” Xu Fan stated his refusal directly.

“Xu Fan, are you sure about your decision?” The color drained from Qin Qinglong’s face, his voice turned cold as iron.

“Mr.
