Kapitel 14: Dear Brother

Half an hour later, everyone was seated in their places. The guests were on one side, while You Weimin, Cole, and the in-laws were on the other. At this time, the stage was set as a host entered and stood at the center.

Even though everything was arranged by Yu Weimin, the in-laws also brought their own people to entertain. The host was one of them.

He had short black hair and brown eyes that he looked at everyone with. "Welcome to the event! Do you know what day it is today?"

The crowd instantly cheered in unison: "Brat's and Raven's coming-of-age day!"

The in-laws frowned.

Brat? What a unique name for a guy!

Yu Weimin just stared blankly at the stage. He didn't care whether the villain liked that name or not. In any case, the man wasn't even a child.

He was a true example of a wolf in a sheepskin.

"And…" said the host as he dragged the word. "The engagement ceremony of the Thomsons!"

Yu Weimin lightly clapped to show respect. He glanced at the people who were supposed to be in-laws.

There was an Omega who grinned from ear to ear, and beside him, a man in his middle age sat with his hands on his lap. His expression was serious, as if he had just seen something extremely disgusting.

Yu Weimin narrowed his eyes.

Could it be they were also included in Cole's plans? No wonder he found the in-laws so soon.

Although Yu Weimin more or less figured out the villain's thought process, he didn't do a single thing against it. In fact, he wanted to welcome the trouble with open arms.

He glanced at Cole, who sat there with his hands folded on his chest, looking aloof and cold. When the man saw his 'brother' glancing back, he gave a smile.

"Where's Raven? I haven't seen her in a while." Cole leaned back and sighed, shaking his head like an old man. "You should be careful with her. Without someone tying her down in marriage, girls tend to get easily distracted."

"Ain't I giving her out for the same reason?" Yu Weimin tilted his head.

"You are, but you see," Cole paused and leaned toward him as he smiled wider, "who knows what might be going on in that head of hers?" People in love tend to do absurd things that even their parents can't figure out. She's just an eighteen-year-old child, after all. Maybe she had fallen in love with someone, but she refuses to tell you."

"So she'll tell you instead?"

"No, what I'm saying is she can do this. Not that she has done it. You know? Can't you see I'm trying to start a conversation here?"

Yu Weimin felt veins popping up on his forehead. "What the f*ck do you know about falling in love? You're talking nonsense!"

Suddenly, Cole's smile vanished without a trace. He stared at Yu Weimin with such an intense expression for a second that the latter felt a chill go down his spine. After that, the man's expression returned to normal as he smiled.

"What if I know?"

Yu Weimin slightly squinted his eyes at that. The two of them stared at one another for a moment. At this time, the atmosphere had a subtlety that even Yu Weimin couldn't realize. For some reason, he felt his heart thudding slightly after being stared at by Cole with such a gaze.

How did he not notice this person was such a smooth talker? He thought the man only knew how to speak nonsense all day!

He was just about to open his mouth and say something to dispel the awkwardness when he heard the man say:

"Of course, I have watched many TV shows already with my friends. You can't deny an Alpha's instinct that craves a loved one. So it doesn't matter if I have anyone in my heart or not. What matters is that I know what it means. "Oh, one more thing," he said, pausing to look at the host, who was still introducing the in-laws. "I think even Raven knows about it, but she's just shy. You know how little girls are, don't you? That's why I told you to put a leash on her! Hah! Do you want me to do that too? You're so lazy. Just you wai-"

"Can you just shut your mouth?" Yu Weimin didn't want to hear more nonsense.

After that, he completely ignored the villain and turned to the host.

"Now that we're done with the introductions, let's start today's program! First, we'll show you the dance of a lovely Omega from the East! Give him applause!"

Everyone clapped with bored expressions on their faces. Even though the program looked good, the host took too much time with introductions. They nearly fell asleep just listening to it!

The host's mouth twitched as he forced a smile. "You guys don't have to act like this. I can assure you that the Omega's dance is out of this world! Here comes Maurice!"

As soon as the host stepped down the stage, the curtains fell from the ceiling onto the round stage. When the curtain was lifted, a man dressed in red stood there in a dancing stance. His hair was tied up above his head with a golden crown. Even further, his hair was adorned with different types and colors of flowers.

After that, the Omega started moving his limbs gracefully. There was a fan on one of his hands that added to his beauty.

Just then, Yu Weimin heard the scoffing from the side. "Such bullsh*t! I don't find anything lovely about this Omega."

Just when they were sitting leisurely, a servant came running from the back room and bent over to Yu Weimin. His face was pale as he offered a letter to the man.

Yu Weimin opened the letter and saw familiar handwriting.

"Dear brother, I know you care about me, but I don't want to get married to someone I know nothing about. So I'm running away with my boyfriend. I'll get married to him, and once you calm down, I'll return to you. Until then, farewell. I'll be back. Yours only, Raven."

Yu Weimin stared at the letter for a moment before folding it nicely and steadily without any expression on his face.

This must be Cole's work. The villain might have lured the lady into running away with someone else by indicating that her brother would be angry. But he only knew that he was nothing but happy. Didn't it mean that the female lead was finally out of the picture?!

Cole finally did something to destroy the plot by himself!

The dance finally ended as the host took the stage again. He smiled evilly and stared in Yu Weimin's direction.

"Mr. Oliver, we have a pleasant surprise for you. Can you come on stage?"

Yu Weimin raised his brows. Here it starts! This wasn't a simple engagement ceremony anymore.
