Chapter 207 Planning

"I'm getting engaged to Shishi. I'm letting you know to attend the engagement ceremony."

Liu Xinlang glanced at him jokingly: "Engaged? Making such a big fuss, I thought you were getting married."

A hint of smugness appeared on Fu Yingzhou's face. "This engagement is a big deal, of course it should be handled properly."

Liu Xinlang shrugged. "Alright, congratulations on winning the heart of your beauty. Shi Shi is indeed a very nice girl."

At this moment, Wang Ruizhe, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "You're only engaged? Bi Lei and I are getting married soon."

Fu Yingzhou's expression changed slightly. "How come so fast? You two have only known each other for a few months, haven't you?"

A hint of smugness appeared on Wang Ruizhe's unassuming face: "It was just a whirlwind marriage."

Li Shengjun whistled, "Not bad, Ruizhe, that's efficient enough. But you should think carefully about a whirlwind marriage, lest you regret it later."

Wang Ruizhe waved his hand dismissively, "Bi Lei and I have a great relationship. Besides, when you meet the right person, you don't care about the length of time."

Shi Jing: "Oh my, Brother Ze, I thought you were destined to be single forever."

Fu Yingzhou felt a little uneasy. He had originally wanted to show off in front of his friends, but Wang Ruizhe had unexpectedly overtaken him.

He forced a calm smile and said, "Congratulations! I'll definitely give you a big red envelope at your wedding."

Wang Ruizhe nodded with a smile, "Thanks, please come!"

At this moment, the waiter served the food, interrupting their conversation.

The group moved to the dining table, but Fu Yingzhou had little appetite. He kept thinking about Wang Ruizhe's whirlwind marriage and was secretly determined to make his engagement ceremony as grand as possible, not wanting to lose to Wang Ruizhe.

"Second Brother, you didn't just come to tell us about the engagement today, did you?" Hang Yi asked.

Fu Yingzhou nodded: "I'd like to arrange a marriage proposal ceremony for Shi Shi. I'd like to ask you for your suggestions."

The group exchanged bewildered glances, surprised that their second brother was so engrossed! After all, when it came to coming up with ideas, it was enough to ask the experienced Li Shengjun and the playboy Hang Yi. Calling everyone over seemed a bit too serious!

These brothers have been friends for years, how could they not know what they were thinking? Fu Yingzhou put down his chopsticks and solemnly said to everyone, "Give your brother a hand, I don't want Shishi to be old and all she remembers about this proposal is Fu Zhixu."

The group instantly understood that Fu Yingzhou was a possessive person. He just didn't show it when dealing with Shishi. Moreover, Shishi was very discreet in her interactions with men and women, giving him no opportunity to be jealous.

"If you want to crush your ex, you need to know yourself and your enemy to win every battle," Hang Yi said confidently.

Every single person present, even if you tied them all together, wouldn't have had as much contact with women as he had alone. He was the most qualified to speak on this matter.

Fu Yingzhou became interested: "Xiao Yi, tell me about it."

Hang Yi said somewhat awkwardly, "My sister-in-law's previous marriage was quite dramatic; there's a lot of information about it online." After saying that, he waved his hands repeatedly and explained to Fu Yingzhou, "It's not that I'm being nosy, but when I first learned about my sister-in-law's identity, I did a simple search."

Okay, he's just a gossip.

He knew Hang Yi's personality. The man meant no harm; he was just satisfying his curiosity. Fu Yingzhou wouldn't hold a grudge against him for that.

"It's alright, it's nothing shameful. There will always be people who mistake pearls for fish eyes, and I'll benefit from it."

Hang Yi quickly nodded: "Yes, yes, second brother, you're right. How can we prove you two are truly in love if they don't divorce?"

He brought the topic back.

"If you want to give your ex a proper proposal and completely outshine him, you'll have to be original and cater to your sister-in-law's current tastes. You know, people change. Back then, she was still a student! Her ideas were relatively naive. Now it's different; she's a powerful and assertive businesswoman. And your relationship is great—you've achieved success in both your careers and love lives. A typical proposal probably won't suit her."

Seeing that he had gone on and on without even getting to the point, Shi Jing, the most impatient of them all, couldn't help but speak up: "Stop showing off! You know so much, how could Second Brother not know? Tell me a solution!"

Hang Yi rolled her eyes at Shi Jing. "What's the rush? We're here now."

He was about to speak when he turned to look at Fu Yingzhou.

Fu Yingzhou immediately understood: "Leave your marriage pressure to me. I'll figure something out."

Of the brothers, Hang Yi's father liked Fu Yingzhou the most, wishing he could take him home as his own son. Only his persuasion worked.

Hang Yi nodded in satisfaction and cleared his throat. "What does your sister-in-law like best?"

Of the brothers, Zhang Feng probably had the most contact with Shi Shi. Moreover, he was a criminal investigator with keen observation skills. Personal hobbies were too private matters for him to notice.

Zhang Feng: "How come we don't know anything, but you seem to know a lot?"

Hang Yi looked smug and slapped the table with his left hand: "That's right! I know! My sister-in-law likes to write songs!"

He shook his head dramatically and looked at Fu Yingzhou: "What do you think about holding a concert? All the singers whose songs my sister-in-law has written songs for can come on stage and perform. Don't those writers always say that their works are like their children? When my sister-in-law sees all her children gathered together, this old mother will definitely be very happy!"

Seeing Fu Yingzhou nod in approval, Hang Yi became even more smug. He continued, "After the concert, take her somewhere and decorate it like a dreamy, luxurious scene. Play your love stories on the big screen. Suddenly appear, holding a custom-made, huge diamond ring, and kneel down on one knee. Then have all your relatives and friends cheer for you. This kind of public, incredibly romantic gesture will definitely leave a deep impression on her and completely crush her ex."

Fu Yingzhou's eyes lit up; he thought the idea was excellent. Li Shengjun nodded in agreement, "This idea is novel and incorporates elements of Shi Shi's work, making it very suitable for her current identity."

The others also expressed their approval. Fu Yingzhou slammed his hand on the table, "Xiao Yi is reliable this time, it's settled then. Brothers, now it's up to you guys to help me prepare for this proposal ceremony. I must make Shishi the happiest woman."

Everyone smiled and agreed, and a meticulously planned marriage proposal was about to begin.

Seeing that everyone had agreed, Fu Yingzhou raised his glass to toast them. His smile was hidden in his eyes.

Now that Shi Shi was already engaged, he couldn't let her run away. He'd give her another push! If it worked, marriage wouldn't be far off. Just thinking about building a family with Shi Shi made his heart pound.
