Chapter 1340: Chapter 1340

"What do you mean by this?"

Tang Ming asked in confusion.

"Since this marriage involves your parents and Meng Ting’s mother, won’t they have to attend the wedding when you get married in the future?"

Liu Gaoze smiled and asked back.

Tang Ming’s face changed slightly. If everything Liu Gaoze said was true, then when he married Liu Mengting, these hidden existences might really appear.

"Besides emotions, just the union of the Pure Yin daughter and Pure Yang son is a unique event in the Martial Arts world. I estimate not only your parents and Meng Ting’s mother will show up, but also many Martial Arts Masters."

Liu Gaoze speculated oddly.

"In this situation, I really can’t break off the engagement with Liu Mengting, and the identity of the witness is so mysterious that even if I want to terminate it, I can’t."

Tang Ming sighed helplessly.

"Hehe, since there’s no way to break off the engagement, let’s talk about your and Meng Ting’s betrothal ceremony."

Liu Gaoze immediately laughed: "This is what I want to talk to you about."

"What betrothal ceremony?"

Tang Ming looked at Liu Gaoze blankly.

"It’s the rule written in the marital contract. You and Meng Ting are supposed to hold the betrothal ceremony on April 26 when you’re both eighteen."

Liu Gaoze pointed to a line of small text below the contract, speaking earnestly: "This was agreed upon a long time ago and must be carried out as per the agreement."

"That’s not right! When I first took the marital contract, there didn’t seem to be this line of small text, nor was there any mention that I and Liu Mengting needed to hold a betrothal ceremony."

Tang Ming carefully inspected again, murmuring in suspicion.

"You must not have noticed. It’s clearly written in black and red, how could it be fake?"

Liu Gaoze lowered his face, speaking seriously: "On April 26 eighteen years ago, I signed the marriage contract with your master Tang Cha, and it was agreed upon at the time."

"Impossible, I... I remember no such rule."

Tang Ming frowned, repeatedly checking the marital contract but couldn’t recall what was actually written.

At that time, he was focused solely on breaking off the engagement, without paying attention to what the document said, especially with no memory of that small line.

"Are you saying I wrote it afterwards?"

Liu Gaoze looked at Tang Ming displeased.

Tang Ming opened his mouth, actually suspecting this very much.

After coming to Songlan, he handed the marital contract to Liu Gaoze. Both marriage documents were in Liu Gaoze’s hands, so it’s highly possible Liu Gaoze himself added that agreement.

"I don’t mean that, I’m just surprised."

Tang Ming chuckled awkwardly, even though he suspected it, he couldn’t say it directly to Liu Gaoze’s face.

"You never seem to care about your own matters."

Liu Gaoze chuckled and scolded him, asserting: "Since that’s the case, let’s settle it. There are only a few days left until April 26, I’ll take time to prepare for your and Meng Ting’s betrothal ceremony, keeping everything simple and inviting just a few friends and relatives."

"After your engagement, I’ll receive your treatment, and it’ll be convenient not to take leave twice."

Liu Gaoze decided autonomously, feeling delighted within.

Tang Ming’s suspicion was correct; the provision about the betrothal ceremony was indeed secretly added by Liu Gaoze.

Previously, because Tang Ming kept thinking about breaking the engagement, which troubled Liu Gaoze, hence he thought of this idea.

To solidify the matter through the ceremony, so even if Tang Ming found relevant personnel of ’Falling Stars and Moon’ in the future, he wouldn’t be able to easily retract.

Facing such a capable and promising prospective son-in-law, Liu Gaoze wouldn’t let go easily and needs to lock him down in a difficult position.

"Uncle Liu, isn’t this too abrupt?"

Tang Ming looked at Liu Gaoze with a face full of conflict: "It might be hard to say on Liu Mengting’s side."

"Don’t worry, I’ll handle Meng Ting’s side, ensuring there won’t be any issues."

Liu Gaoze laughed confidently: "Today is truly a good day, full of joyous happenings!"

Tang Ming showed a smile uglier than a cry, initially hoping to quickly break the engagement; unexpectedly, now he’d been trapped into a betrothal ceremony by Liu Gaoze, how frustrating!

After discussing with Liu Gaoze, the two returned to the Liu family’s villa together.

Liu Gaoze was in high spirits and gave himself a day off, mainly to prepare for doing Liu Mengting’s work.

Tang Ming, however, kept a worried look, logically speaking, since he and Liu Mengting had known each other for quite some time, the emotional foundation was there, and they understood each other to some extent. But coming to Songlan City for breaking the engagement has been his consistent goal, now the goal wasn’t realized, making him feel odd inside.

Also, Xia Wei’er was missing because of him, and now he was to get engaged with Liu Mengting; how should he explain to Wei’er in the future?

Slept with his girlfriend’s best friend—just thinking about it is... heartless!

"Dad, why did you come back?"

Just as Tang Ming was deep in thought, Liu Mengting, who was reviewing her homework, screamed out in surprise.

"Sweetheart, I’ve missed you so much!"

Liu Gaoze tossed aside his coat, immediately reaching out to hug Liu Mengting.

Only then did Tang Ming react, realizing unwittingly that he was already home.

"Brother Tang Ming, when did you come back?"

While the Liu father and daughter were exchanging greetings, Li Xiaoli hopped in front of Tang Ming at the first chance, "Returning without giving us a heads up, were you planning on catching someone in the act?"

"Catching your sister."

Tang Ming glared at Li Xiaoli, looking at her irritably: "After a few days, your chest got bigger again; have you been eating fertilizer?"

"You’re terrible! First thing you say after meeting is about my chest; do you want to touch?"

Li Xiaoli puffed her chest and gave Tang Ming a seductive glance.

Tang Ming gasped for air, taking a step back in vigilance: "This response is abnormal. If you had heard this before, you would have jumped with rage, why are you acting flirtatious today?"

"Brother Tang Ming, you’re too much! I’m accommodating you, how can you call me flirtatious?"

Li Xiaoli immediately turned gloomy, having reached an agreement with Liu Mengting to keep an eye on Tang Ming for Xia Wei’er.

The best way to keep someone is to hold their heart, so they have no thought of flirting outside, thus Li Xiaoli began her straightforward and boisterous seduction.

"Sudden kindness must mean conspiracy or theft, I... Did Wei’er come back?"

Tang Ming intended to mock but suddenly caught a trace of a faint scent, the unique fragrance belonging to Xia Wei’er.

Liu Mengting denied in surprise while conversing with Liu Gaoze.

"Oh gosh, Brother Tang Ming, how could you ask such a question, are you missing Wei’er so much that you’ve gone crazy?"

Li Xiaoli exaggeratedly reached out to touch Tang Ming’s forehead: "No fever at least."
