Chapter 151: So Stupid!

Heart pounding wildly, Ren Xiaomin couldn’t fathom what Han Lixin was doing.

At this moment, wasn’t Han Lixin supposed to be on stage with his bride, exchanging vows?

Why was he calling her?

No matter how she thought about it, after hesitating for a moment, she pressed the answer button.

“Xiaomin!”

Hearing this firm voice, Ren Xiaomin confirmed that this call was indeed meant for her.

“Lixin, why are you calling me? Is there something wrong with the wedding arrangements?” Ren Xiaomin asked weakly.

“Xiaomin, I broke up with Li Li!” Han Lixin said.

“What?? What happened?” Ren Xiaomin was baffled.

Wasn’t today supposed to be their big day?

“Anyway, Li Li and I are done. Completely over!” Han Lixin stated firmly.

After struggling for a moment, he continued,

“Xiaomin, I once told you that if it weren’t for Li Li, I would have wholeheartedly pursued you! I know that might have sounded awful back then, but I meant it. I’ve been suppressing my feelings for so long. Now that it’s over with Li Li, I want to pursue you. Will you give me a chance to chase after you?”

“Xiaomin, I might not have great abilities, but I promise I’ll build a future for us with my own hands. Will you be with me and build a home together?”

Hearing Han Lixin’s words, Ren Xiaomin’s mind went blank.

This kind of dramatic turn of events—where a failed wedding turned into a call to another girl—she’d only seen in short videos or TV dramas.

She never imagined it would happen to her.

“Are… are you drunk?” Ren Xiaomin asked uncertainly, her voice trembling.

“No, I’m completely sober! Everything I’m saying is true! I understand this may seem unfair to you right now, but no matter your answer, I’ll accept it. If you agree, I’ll be ecstatic; if not, I’ll shamelessly pursue you until you say yes! Unless you tell me yourself that you don’t like me anymore or that you have a boyfriend.”

“Xiaomin, I’m still at the Kaide Li Hotel. The wedding you planned is ready, and all the guests and relatives are here. If you’re willing to marry me, I’ll come pick you up right now! If it feels too rushed, we can reschedule and host the wedding you’ve always dreamed of!”

At this moment, Han Lixin’s tone was unshakably firm.

Ren Xiaomin hadn’t even processed his words before tears filled her eyes.

She really liked Han Lixin.

But if this really happened, how could she explain it to her parents and relatives?

And how could she face such an abrupt change?

Her heart was filled with indecision and turmoil.

Hearing the conversation, Sister Hu stayed silent for a moment before gently patting Ren Xiaomin’s head.

Meanwhile—

At the Kaide Li Hotel entrance.

“You fool! You’re a grown man, yet you’re still so reckless! Proposing to a girl so suddenly—how is she supposed to face her family and relatives? You’re just putting her in a difficult position! You’re so stupid!”

“How about this: if you really like her, bring her here and make this an engagement party. Then, you can officially court her properly. That way, she has time to think, and it’s easier for her to explain it to her family!”

Shen Fei snapped irritably.

Han Lixin, hearing this, finally realized he’d been too impulsive and hadn’t thought it through.

After a pause, he said,

“Xiaomin, I wasn’t thinking straight earlier. Let’s turn this wedding into an engagement party instead. It’ll be less overwhelming. I know it’s a bit of a grievance for you—”

“Lixin, I’m willing!” Ren Xiaomin quickly interrupted.

Han Lixin felt his heart ache, and his eyes turned misty.

He had wasted so much time loving someone who never cared for him, while ignoring this precious girl.

“Lixin, I’m willing to get engaged to you. That way, I can also explain it to my family. Turning the wedding into an engagement is much easier to accept.”

Ren Xiaomin’s soft voice followed,

“Come pick me up!”

The call ended.

Sister Hu asked with concern,

“Xiaomin, are you sure about this? Marriage isn’t child’s play, and even an engagement is serious business!”

“Sister Hu, I’m willing to take a chance! I’ve liked him ever since I joined the company. But he had a girlfriend, so I buried my feelings. Now that he’s broken up, I have a chance! I want to try being with him. Even if it doesn’t work out in the end, I won’t have any regrets!”

Ren Xiaomin smiled, her eyes shining with determination. The earlier exhaustion had completely disappeared.

“Ah, love truly makes people blind! Since you’ve chosen this path, stick to it! If Han Lixin ever dares let you down, I’ll be the first to deal with him! Honestly, men are such troublemakers!”

Sister Hu gave her opinion before laughing and patting Ren Xiaomin’s shoulder.

“Come on, let’s go. Today, I’ll work my magic and turn you into a stunning beauty—a femme fatale like Daji—to mesmerize that man!”

“Okay!”

—

At the Kaide Li Hotel:

“Lixin, are you really turning this wedding into an engagement party? What about the gifts and red envelopes? You’ll have to return them! That’s a lot of money!”

Hearing Han Lixin’s decision, Zhang Xiulian began to cry.

“Mom, enough! All you care about is money! If it weren’t for you and Dad insisting on Li Li, would our family be in this mess? Forget it—I’m not arguing anymore! Don’t even think about pushing me to reconcile with Li Li. Do you want me to live an unhappy life forever? Today it’s 68,000; tomorrow it’ll be 680,000. Are we supposed to keep giving in?”

“That’s a bottomless pit! I was a fool before, always begging Li Li and making you two bow your heads as well—that was my fault. But I’ve woken up now. I don’t need Li Li to be happy! Xiaomin agreeing to this engagement is already my greatest fortune. If you don’t like it, I’ll move out and live with Xiaomin. You can do whatever you want with this banquet!”

This time, Han Lixin was truly resolute. His gaze had never been so firm.

Zhang Xiulian and Han Jian were left speechless.

“Lixin, what do we do now?” the groomsmen asked hesitantly.

“Of course, we’re heading out to pick up your sister-in-law!” Han Lixin declared loudly.

“Got it!” the groomsmen responded in unison, not feeling the least bit discouraged.

Just then, Li Li appeared.

Her previous arrogance was gone as she looked at Han Lixin.

“You’re really doing this to spite me? Marrying another woman just to make me angry?”

“Li Li, you’re mistaken. I’m not trying to spite you, nor do I want to anger you. I’m telling you officially—we’re done! From now on, we’ll go our separate ways. Let’s not bother each other again.”

With that, Han Lixin turned and said,

“Get in the cars. Let’s go!”

“What cars? This fleet was borrowed through my connections!” Li Li screeched.

At this, Han Lixin looked a bit embarrassed.

“Lixin, forget this car fleet—it’s not fancy enough. I’ll arrange something better. Today, I’ll make sure you leave in style!”

“Not fancy enough…?”

The person saying this was none other than Shen Fei—the so-called family disgrace.

The relatives who knew Shen Fei were stunned!

But Shen Fei ignored them and pulled out his phone.
