The Maid's Rise to Be a President's Wife-Chapter 256: I Want to Be Your Bride

Ji Minze's appearance at the Tang family caused a little stir. Many people knew that the president of Longteng International rarely attended banquets, unless the host had a special status.

"Brother Minze!" Tang Lei called out sweetly, then walked to Ji Minze's side, hooked her arm around his, and said coquettishly, "Today is my birthday. How could you come so late?"

"Happy birthday!" Ji Minze touched Tang Lei's head and said, "Sorry, I'm late." Suddenly, he realized that he was used to coaxing Tang Lei in the way he would coax a child. It had always been like this. He had always been used to spoiling her, indulging her in everything. He found that such a habit sometimes became natural.

"Minze, you're here!" Tang Jun came over and greeted Ji Minze.

"Uncle Tang, I'm sorry I'm late," Ji Minze looked up and said to Tang Jun, one of his father's best friends.

"Tang Lei has been waiting for you to come before cutting the cake!" Tang Jun glanced at his precious daughter.

Ji Minze looked at Tang Lei, his eyes a bit complicated.

At this time, the birthday song started to play. A three-layer cake was slowly pushed to the center, and everyone gradually gathered around and sang the birthday song for Tang Lei and Tang Rui together.

"Tang Rui, Tang Lei, make a wish and blow out the candles!" Cheng Ling'er said with a smile to her two daughters.

Tang Rui closed her eyes and made a wish in a proper way, then opened her eyes. But Tang Lei looked at Ji Minze and slowly stated her wish, not caring at all that there were so many other people at the banquet.

"I want to be Ji Minze's bride!"

As soon as the words were spoken, there were low exclamations in the crowd. Because everyone knew that the president of Longteng International had just gotten married not long ago, and his bride was not the second Miss Tang, Tang Lei.

"Tang Lei, stop making a fuss. Make a proper wish. Everyone is waiting for you two to blow out the candles!" Ji Minze frowned. Now everyone's eyes were on him, which made him very embarrassed. He knew that Tang Lei always said whatever she wanted without any scruples, but today she actually confessed her love to him in front of everyone, completely disregarding his status.

"This is just my daughter joking with everyone. Please don't mind!" Tang Jun tried to smooth things over.

"Everyone can have the cake now!" Tang Rui blew out the candles in one breath and said with a smile to everyone. She was trying to ease the atmosphere.

Ji Minze walked out of the living room and went to the back garden. The atmosphere just now was so awkward that it made him feel suffocated, so he had to come out to get some air.

For the first time, he felt that Tang Lei's willfulness had become a burden to him!

"Minze!"

Ji Minze turned his head and saw Tang Rui. She had lost weight but was still as charming as ever.

"Sorry, I haven't had a chance to say happy birthday to you yet today," Ji Minze said to Tang Rui.

"It doesn't matter. I hope you don't mind what Tang Lei said just now. She just likes to have fun," Tang Lei said to Ji Minze. She had noticed his embarrassment just now. In that situation, anyone would feel embarrassed, especially since his current status was that of a married man.

"I know," Ji Minze said faintly, turning his gaze elsewhere, looking a bit forlorn.

"Has Yiren still not been found?" Tang Rui looked at Ji Minze and asked.

"Not yet. Tang Rui, can you tell me what I should do?" Ji Minze turned to look at Tang Rui, holding her shoulders with his hands and asking.

Tang Rui looked at Ji Minze. She also loved the man in front of her. So at this moment, seeing him like this, she felt sad. But she couldn't help him share anything. Maybe this was his destiny, and only he could overcome it!

"Now you should know better than anyone whether Yiren or Tang Lei is more important to you. It's just that you always worry too much and lose your original decisiveness and courage," Tang Rui said to Ji Minze. When it comes to love, the person involved knows better than anyone. If there is confusion, it's only temporary!

"What you said is like a Zen saying. I need some skills to understand it!" Ji Minze let go of Tang Rui and said, showing a bitter smile. Maybe, as Tang Rui said, one day he would regain his courage.

"Brother Minze!"

Tang Lei also came out. Seeing Ji Minze and Tang Rui standing together, she suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

"You two talk. I'll go in first," Tang Rui said and walked into the house.

Under the star-lit night sky, Ji Minze and Tang Lei stood in the pavilion in the back garden.

"Brother Minze, are you angry?" Tang Lei looked at Ji Minze and asked. Before, no matter what she did, Ji Minze would indulge her. But today, she saw embarrassment in his eyes.

"No," Ji Minze said. He still indulged her as always, even though he had been so embarrassed just now. He was already used to spoiling her.

"What I said just now is the wish I hope can come true," Tang Lei said to Ji Minze. She wanted everyone to know that she loved Ji Minze and only loved him. She wouldn't marry anyone else except him.

"I know," Ji Minze said faintly. This girl was the one who had always loved him bravely. He had once thought that at the age of 18, she didn't understand love. But now, so many years have passed, and she has grown up. Yet her feelings for him were still so persistent!

"Then will you marry me?" Tang Lei asked directly. She never beat around the bush in front of Ji Minze.

"I can't," It wasn't that he wouldn't marry her, but that he couldn't. His heart was no longer in his own custody. He had someone he loved, and this person had become his wife!

"Why?" Tang Lei looked up and stared into Ji Minze's eyes and asked.

Ji Minze didn't answer.

"Is it because of Yiren? She knows we love each other and is willing to fulfill us. Why can't you let go?" Tang Lei said softly. As long as he nodded, they could be together right away. But he was still insisting on Yiren's status!
