Chapter 169: Handsome and Charming

When Xu Wenjie rushed out of the law firm upon hearing the news, Lu Yao had already been escorted into the elevator.

He frantically hammered the down button, but to no avail.

Zhang Xiaoxin asked with a flustered expression, "Lawyer Xu, did Lawyer Lu offend some high-ranking figure?"

Xu Wenjie shook his head with a heavy expression. "I'm not sure either. The things Yaomei has been doing lately are simply too unexpected. She might have offended some big shot in the capital. Keep a close eye on her when you have time, and make sure she doesn't make any major mistakes. Otherwise, our entire law firm could end up paying the price."

Zhang Xiaoxin lowered her gaze, hesitating for a moment before speaking, "I heard that the Ye Group is planning to terminate their contract with Lawyer Lu."

"Who did you hear that from?"

"Xiang Qin, Lawyer Lu's assistant at the Ye Group."

"This is bad. We need to get to the Ye Group and find Yaomei right away."

"Why?"

"I'm afraid something might happen to her."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Xu Wenjie and Zhang Xiaoxin rushed toward the Ye Group in a hurry.

When Xu Wenjie and Zhang Xiaoxin arrived at the Ye Group, they were stunned by the marriage proposal setup right at the main entrance.

Zhang Xiaoxin asked with an envious look, "Wow, such a dreamy proposal setup! Who on earth could have prepared this?"

"Why worry about that?" Xu Wenjie had only Lu Yao's safety on his mind and had no time to appreciate the view. He grabbed Zhang Xiaoxin and urged, "Let's hurry upstairs and find Yaomei first."

Zhang Xiaoxin kept turning her head back every three steps to gaze at the proposal site, her face filled with reluctance.

Thinking to herself, it's just so breathtakingly beautiful—if only she were the female lead.

Suddenly, the entrance doors of the Ye Group were tightly closed by the security guards.

All the surrounding lights dimmed completely.

Then, the lights at the proposal site illuminated, and the words "Marry Me" shone with particular brilliance in the dark.

Nearby, the city's most renowned pianist sat before a white piano, fingers poised over the black and white keys. As a rain of pink rose petals drifted down from the sky, accompanied by the piano's enchanting melody, the atmosphere was simply...

Exquisitely romantic to the extreme.

Zhang Xiaoxin was moved almost to tears by the scene. With reddened eyes, she softly murmured, "I wonder who is blessed enough to possess such happiness."

Just as her words trailed off, a luxury car pulled up to the entrance.

Everyone's gaze converged on the luxury vehicle.

The car door opened, and a pair of diamond-encrusted high heels came into view.

The crowd held their breath in anticipation until Lu Yao stepped out of the car wearing a nude-colored haute couture evening gown, prompting looks of sheer amazement from everyone present.

Zhang Xiaoxin widened her eyes in astonishment and gasped, "Oh my god, it's Lawyer Lu!"

Xu Wenjie was equally dazzled by Lu Yao's attire, and an incredulous smile spread across his face. "Wow, Yaomei looks breathtakingly gorgeous tonight."

As soon as they finished exclaiming, they both realized something, and the looks they exchanged turned bewildered once again.

Lu Yao looked blankly at the gorgeous proposal setup, her feet feeling as heavy as lead, making each step an arduous struggle.

Before her eyes lay a lavishly extravagant pink marriage proposal setting with an elite lineup.

The words "Marry Me" were particularly dazzling and eye-catching.

Pink rose petals drifted down like a fairyland, leaving her somewhat flustered.

She couldn't quite tell whether this moment was a dream or reality.

The melodious sound of the piano ringing in her ears snapped her out of her daze.

A beam of light flickered on, and a familiar figure came into her field of vision.

Just as Lu Yao regained her senses, she saw Ye Zehong dressed in a white suit, holding a bouquet of pink roses, walking slowly toward her.

She had to admit that Ye Zehong, clad in a white suit and holding flowers, looked truly handsome and charming.

Realizing what was happening at this very moment, the corners of Lu Yao's mouth twitched slightly.

Why did she feel...

That such a high-profile proposal didn't seem like something Ye Zehong would ever do?
