However, the thought of Liu Yanran's beauty stirred a restless desire within him.
After all, a beauty like Liu Yanran is a rare find.
With a thought, Ye Xuan released his soul power, which spread into the villa.
Ye Xuan quickly found Liu Yanran.
Seeing Liu Yanran chatting and exchanging pleasantries with the other women of the Liu family, Ye Xuan's heart suddenly started beating faster.
Although he already had many girlfriends, Liu Yanran, a stunning beauty, was still a great temptation for him.
Ye Xuan's heart stirred, and with a swift movement, he entered the villa and headed straight for Liu Yanran.
"ah!"
Who is it?
"Who's there?"
The sudden change startled Liu Yanran.
When Liu Yanran saw Ye Xuan standing in front of her, her pretty face immediately turned red with embarrassment.
"Brother Ye, what brings you here?" Liu Yanran covered her lips and scolded sweetly.
Ye Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and he chuckled, saying, "Tell me, why am I here? How could I possibly miss your engagement party?"
"Hate"
Liu Yanran rolled her eyes at Ye Xuan, ignoring him, and turned to the other women of the Liu family, greeting them with a smile, "Hello, aunties and grandmothers."
"Oh my, Yanran, you are so beautiful!" Liu Yunfeng's wife, Wang Yulan, praised Liu Yanran highly.
"Yanran, you are the most beautiful today," Liu Ling said with envy.
Liu Yanran was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Auntie. I'll go back to my work now."
"Okay, go ahead. When you're done with your work, remember to come over and have a couple of drinks with your aunt tonight," Wang Yulan said with a smile.
"Definitely, definitely," Liu Yanran nodded repeatedly.
Liu Yunfeng, however, seemed hesitant to speak, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know how to begin.
"Uncle, is there anything I can help you with?"
Liu Yunfeng gave an awkward smile, then took out an exquisite gift box from his pocket and handed it to Liu Yanran, saying, "This is an engagement ring that your uncle specially chose for you. I hope you like it, and I wish you both a happy and fulfilling life together."
Liu Yanran was taken aback, then took the box but didn't open it. Instead, she turned to Liu Yunfeng and said, "Uncle, you're too kind. This gift is far too precious; how can I accept it?"
"Silly girl, what's so precious about it? Your uncle has his eye on this ring. It represents a sentiment, and he hopes you'll like it. You are your uncle's only daughter and the future heir of the Liu family. Your uncle prepared this ring for you, which naturally represents a meaning," Liu Yunfeng chuckled.
Liu Yunfeng's words were very skillful. He expressed his affection for Liu Yanran while implying that the ring was the Liu family's heirloom. If Liu Yanran did not accept it, it would be equivalent to rejecting the Liu family as a backer, and she would no longer be the future heir of the Liu family.
Sure enough, Liu Yanran blushed and said sweetly, "Uncle, Yanran will really accept this gift."
As she spoke, Liu Yanran opened the gift box.
Then, everyone saw that Liu Yanran was wearing a dazzling pink diamond on her wrist, crystal clear and emitting a faint light.
The size of the diamond was a perfect match for Liu Yanran's delicate hand, and it was also set with a blue crystal, making it look even more dazzling.
Liu Yunfeng, Wang Yulan, and other women in the Liu family were all deeply attracted to this ring.
Wang Yulan, in particular, stared at the ring with a burning intensity in her eyes.
"Mom, do you like it?" Liu Yanran asked happily upon seeing everyone's expressions.
"Of course I like it," Wang Yulan nodded repeatedly.
Liu Yunfeng nodded and said, "Yanran, you can't refuse what your uncle gives you. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can always come to your uncle for help. Your uncle will definitely support you in the fullest. Don't be shy with your uncle, understand?"
"Thank you, Uncle, I definitely will," Liu Yanran said happily, then asked, "By the way, where's Dad? I haven't seen Father."
"Father, today is your big day. He went back to the company early this morning and will probably be busy for a long time before he comes back. Your mother and I won't disturb you any longer. Goodbye."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yanran nodded. After seeing off Mr. and Mrs. Wang Yulan, she chatted with Liu Yunfeng's family for a few minutes before leaving.
Watching Liu Yanran's departing figure, a trace of disappointment flashed across Liu Yunfeng and Wang Yulan's eyes, and they shook their heads.
It seems that this time, he can only rely on himself.
At this moment, Ye Xuan had already followed Liu Yan into the villa.
Inside the villa, the lights were on, clearly prepared specifically for Liu Yanran's birthday celebration.
Upon seeing Liu Yunfeng and Liu Yanran, Wang Yulan immediately walked over with a beaming smile, took Liu Yanran's small hand, and said with a look of satisfaction, "Yanran, you will be the future heir of our Liu family from now on. If you ever feel wronged or unhappy, please tell us, and we will stand up for you."
"I understand, thank you, Mom."
Liu Yanran obediently replied.
"Why are you being so polite with me, child? Your uncle and I have some things to attend to, so we'll head out first."
Wang Yulan patted Liu Yanran's shoulder and pulled Liu Yunfeng out of the room.
"Thank you for your hard work these past years."
After Liu Yunfeng left the room, he sighed and patted Wang Yulan's shoulder.
"What are you saying? If it weren't for your help to the Liu Group all these years, the Liu Group would probably have gone bankrupt long ago. This is what we should do," Wang Yulan said with gratitude.
"Sigh... Although Yanran has a very powerful family background, she is kind-hearted, unlike my daughter, who is narrow-minded and cannot tolerate the slightest flaw in others. If she marries another man in the future, she will definitely suffer." Liu Yunfeng shook his head and sighed.
