Chapter 217 The Engagement Scene

It's impossible for Shi Shi not to be moved by such an unprecedented proposal. This also explains Fu Yingzhou's recent elusive behavior. Inviting these people to sing for her on stage couldn't have been just a matter of money.

The two spent a passionate night together, and Fu Yingzhou was overjoyed. Moved by her love, Shishi melted into a puddle of water, wrapping him tightly in her affection.

The engagement banquet was held the following day.

Shi Shi wore a beautiful dress, looking like an elf descended to earth, while Fu Yingzhou wore a handsome suit and stood side by side with her. The handsome man and beautiful woman attracted envious glances from everyone.

Fu Yingzhou quietly leaned close to Shishi's ear and whispered to her, "Are you ready?"

Shishi was already nervous, and when she heard his question, she replied irritably, "If I said I wasn't ready, could I go back on my word?"

Fu Yingzhou shook his head: "There's no chance to back out now. You can't escape!"

As it turns out, you can't believe the elders' talk of a low-key affair; it was a dreamlike engagement celebration. Aunt Fu Yingzhou is a person with a strong dreamlike streak.

Stepping into the venue of this engagement banquet was like entering a dreamlike kingdom blessed by Cupid. The banquet hall was beautifully decorated, with crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, casting soft light like stars fallen to earth. The walls were adorned with large expanses of pale pink flowers, roses, lilies, and baby's breath intertwined, exuding an intoxicating fragrance, as if weaving a sweet love song in the air.

In the center of the banquet hall, a long red carpet led to the stage, flanked by exquisite silver candlesticks. The flickering candlelight illuminated everything around, adding a romantic and warm atmosphere to the space. The stage backdrop was a huge white gauze curtain, embroidered with the couple's names and symbols of love in gold thread, shimmering under the lights.

This is just an engagement!

Liu Minghao, who was attending, couldn't help but whisper to Fu Jizhou.

"Your second brother and sister-in-law's engagement banquet was such a grand affair, who knows what their wedding will be like."

"Anyway, you'll be attending their wedding, so we'll see then."

Today's protagonist, Shi Shi, is like a princess straight out of a fairy tale. Instead of the previous red dress, she wore a fitted champagne-colored fishtail gown. The delicate lace fabric clung to her curves, outlining her elegant figure. The dress featured a uniquely designed heart-shaped neckline, perfectly showcasing her beautiful collarbones and delicate shoulder lines. The skirt cascaded in layers, spreading out like waves, each layer adorned with tiny pearls and rhinestones, shimmering brilliantly with her movements, as if a galaxy flowed beneath her feet.

Shi Shi's hair was styled in an elegant updo, with a few curls framing her face and framing her fair and delicate features. A small diamond crown adorned her head, its diamonds reflecting a dazzling light, perfectly complementing the pink diamond necklace around her neck. Her makeup was fresh and understated, with a light and luminous base, as if she were naturally beautiful. Her eyeshadow, a soft pink hue, was blended just right, making her eyes appear even brighter and more captivating. A touch of pink blush graced her cheeks, like peach blossoms blooming in spring, shy and alluring. Her lipstick was a moist, dusty rose color, adding a touch of gentleness and elegance to her overall look.

Shen He pulled Xiang Xinran along, letting out a soft, squealing sound! As she screamed, she kept repeating, "My sister is so beautiful! She's like a fairy descended from heaven! My brother-in-law is so lucky!"

Xiang Xinran agreed wholeheartedly, saying that the cabbage was once again being rooted up by the pig; was this the cabbage's fate? Fortunately, this pig was rather handsome.

Today, Fu Yingzhou wore a well-tailored dark blue suit, its sharp lines highlighting his tall figure and capable demeanor. The suit fabric was of superior quality, subtly gleaming under the lights. He wore a crisp white shirt underneath, with a light blue tie at the collar, complementing his deep-set eyes and adding a touch of refined elegance. The cufflinks were a pair of exquisite sapphires, exuding a mysterious and noble aura, showcasing his impeccable taste in every detail.

Yes, this is undoubtedly a disguised way of showing affection, because those who know them well know that Shi Shi gave them these cufflinks as a gift!

Fu Yingzhou's hair was neatly styled, and his deep eyes were filled with happiness and affection as he stared intently at his bride. His features were well-defined, with a high nose bridge and lips slightly upturned, revealing an irrepressible smile that conveyed his joy and excitement.

Although it was supposed to be a low-key event, Shi Shi's side had six or seven tables filled with friends, relatives, and classmates. And that was without notifying colleagues. Fu Yingzhou's side had even more; his Pekingese group and their families alone made up three tables. The Fu family hadn't split up, so distant relatives usually didn't have much opportunity to curry favor, but now they all showed up. Even the old man's former subordinates came uninvited.

You can't hit a smiling face, especially someone who comes to offer blessings. Luckily, my aunt is a thoughtful person; she anticipated all these possible scenarios. The originally planned 15 tables weren't enough at all; more people came from both sides, resulting in a total of 10 extra tables.

Today's emcees are two hosts from Kyoto Television.

Faces you usually only see on TV shows are nothing special here. Leaving aside the woman's side—Kong Pan, Chairman Kan Hong, and Shen Jingyuan—the man's side consists entirely of big names in the business and political worlds.

The two hosts, who had initially been somewhat arrogant, trembled like quails upon seeing this.

Amidst the attention of the crowd, the two protagonists walked hand in hand down the red carpet, greeted by enthusiastic applause and blessings. Friends and family cast envious glances, witnessing this happy moment for the perfect couple.

They slowly walked onto the stage, stood face to face, their eyes only for each other. Amidst the host's warm words, they exchanged engagement rings and embraced tightly.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still, and the entire banquet hall was immersed in this sweet and romantic atmosphere, with happiness permeating every corner.

Watching the scene on stage, Wang Ruizhe couldn't help but chime in. "Leilei, isn't marriage wonderful? Why don't we hurry up and get married too?" Wang Ruizhe looked at Bi Lei expectantly.

Bi Lei rolled her eyes at him, "What's the rush? I haven't had enough of the sweet moments of being in love yet."

The large screen displayed images and photos of Shi Shi and Fu Yingzhou. The two then stepped down from the stage to thank the guests.
