Chapter 1343: The Mermaid Princess (42)

Amid the romantic proposal, tears welled up in Fuya's eyes as she accepted Qiao Chen's proposal.

Compared to several years ago, Qiao Chen had become even more handsome.

The moment he knelt on one knee and slipped the ring onto Fuya's finger, the girls attending her birthday party burst into excited screams.

Many of them sighed that if only they were Fuya, how wonderful that would be.

Qiao Chen, the man who now steered the entire Qiao Corporation, had truly spoiled Fuya like a princess.

Listening to those envious voices, Tang Guo merely held onto Yin Yao's arm and rested her head against him. There wasn't the slightest trace of envy in her heart.

If they knew the lies hidden beneath such romance and beauty, would they still be so envious?

“A'Guoguo, do you like things like this too?”

Seeing Tang Guo staring at Qiao Chen and Fuya, Yin Yao's heart stirred, and he asked, “If you like it, when we return to the sea in the future, I'll have the sea folk come to the surface and dance for you.”

“Most members of the sea clans can sing and dance. Their songs carry blessings and are pleasant to hear. There are also countless treasures inside the Dragon Palace. If you come back with me, they will all be yours.”

System: Hahahahaha… this kid really is straightforward.

Tang Guo raised her brows. “Then if I don't go back with you, they won't be mine?”

“No. Whether you come back or not, they're all yours.” Yin Yao's expression remained cool, but his voice was gentle and pleasant. “If you don't like the Dragon Palace, I can go back with you to the merfolk clan instead.”

System: Now that's quite an improvement.

“But you're the Sea Emperor's most outstanding son. If I abduct you, he'll definitely dislike me and get angry with you.”

“He won't. At worst, I just won't become the Sea Emperor. I have several older brothers and several younger brothers. They're all very capable. As the saying goes, three cobblers together are worth Zhuge Liang. If they manage the seas together, it won't make much difference.”

The sea itself seemed to cry out: With a wife, he forgets the ocean.

Just then, Fuya led Qiao Chen over to Tang Guo.

“A'Guoguo, we're getting married. Will you be my bridesmaid?”

“A'Guoguo, I no longer have the right to return to the sea. You're the only family I have left to witness my wedding.” Fuya's expression turned lonely. “Will you be my bridesmaid this time?”

“So long as you don't mind me stealing all the attention, of course.”

Qiao Chen then turned to Yin Yao. “Yin Yao, then I'd like you to be my best man.”

Yin Yao glanced at him before looking toward Tang Guo, who seemed unconcerned and showed no intention of stopping it. In the end, he nodded.

“All right.”

He wanted very much to know what kind of scheme Qiao Chen was plotting.

And his little mermaid seemed to be waiting for all this to happen. Even if she knew how things would end, she had no intention of interfering.

No matter what, with him around, nothing would happen to her.

Qiao Chen apparently had no intention of saying much more to the two of them. Having settled the matter of the bridesmaid and best man, he led Fuya away to greet the other guests they knew.

“A'Guoguo.”

“Brother Yao.”

Yin Yao had already led Tang Guo away from the party and into a secluded corner.

“What are you waiting for?”

“Of course, I'm waiting for someone to court death.” Tang Guo's voice carried a trace of amusement. “Brother Yao, if there's something you want to ask, then ask.”

“The life-and-death grudge between you and him… what kind of life-and-death grudge is it exactly?”

Yin Yao wanted to know badly. He always felt things were not that simple.

His little fish was filled with secrets, and she was nothing like the adorable, pure-hearted, somewhat impulsive little mermaid described in the legends.

The little mermaid before him was calm and composed, intelligent as snow, sly as a fox, exceptionally good at praising others, and when she smiled, she was utterly captivating.
