Wang Man reacted and quickly dragged the two of them away. They got into the car and sped away.

After finally shaking off the reporters that were following them, Wang Man parked the car in front of her villa.

Qin Wei’s injuries had been treated well. However, he was even more worried about Mu Ran’s current situation.

Mu Ran did not want Qin Wei to worry, so she told Qin Wei everything about her plan. There was less than a week before Miao Man’s birthday party. She would also give Miao Man a big gift during the birthday party.

After hearing Mu Ran’s words, Qin Wei felt relieved.

Wang Man was worrying for letting Mu Ran went back to her old house alone, so she let her stay in her villa until the matter was settled.

“Where’s Qin Wei?” Mu Ran didn’t see him when she woke up, so she was curious.

“He took the first flight back before dawn. He has two big surgeries later. I’ve never seen anyone take you so seriously. He rushed back after the surgery and flew back in the dark. You have no idea how heavy his dark circles were when he left.”

Mu Ran bit her lip and didn’t know what to say.

“If it were me, I would be so touched that I would give myself to him.” Wang Man hated Mu Ran for not being enlightened. In the past, she was blind enough to like Fu Ting and wasted the most precious ten years of a young girl’s life on him. Now, Mu Ran did not accept Qin Wei’s love. Wang Man was really frustrated with Mu Ran’s indecisiveness!

“Mandy, I know what to do.” Mu Ran sighed. She could only put this problem aside for the time being. There were more important matters at hand.

…

Miao Man’s birthday banquet arrived very quickly.

Although it was only a birthday banquet, Haigang City knew that Fu Ting would propose to Miao Man at the birthday banquet. It was also an engagement banquet for the two of them. Because of this, every influential person in Haigang City attended.

Miao Man was wearing a beautiful white long dress. She sat down with Miao Qiang. Her face was covered with exquisite makeup. It was said that the custom long dress was from a high-end brand. Nobody else in the country had put on this dress yet. Even A-list celebrities did not receive such treatment. Miao Man was not a princess. She was treated better than a princess.

Miao Qiang went up to the stage to give a speech. After thanking his relatives and friends for attending Miao Man’s birthday banquet, he invited Miao Man up and cleared his throat, “Today, the Miao family is celebrating the double happiness. Firstly, we are celebrating that Miao Man has grown up by another year. She will grow up healthily and happily in the future. Secondly…”

As he spoke, Fu Ting walked steadily to Miao Man’s side and stopped about two meters away from her.

He looked at Miao Man, his deep eyes causing her heart to race and her face to flush.

Although she knew what would happen next, she was so happy that she almost fainted.

Fu Ting took out an exquisite box and opened it in front of everyone. He fixed his eyes on Miao Man and asked, “Manman, will you engage with me?”

What was in the box was a necklace, an extremely valuable and meaningful bond.

Rubies and diamonds on the necklace shone brilliantly, especially under the lights of the venue. It was dazzlingly pretty.

Miao Man’s eyes were moist, and her voice trembled slightly.

“Sure, Ah Ting, can you help me put it on?”

She had specially chosen this gorgeous dress that revealed her shoulders today. It would be a good match with the dazzling necklace.

Fu Ting paused for a moment, and there was hesitation on his face.

He remembered that the letter had once said that her neck was the most sensitive part of her body. Even if a family member or friend helped her to wear the necklace, it would swell up. So, she could only wear it carefully herself.

He had thought that Miao Man would keep the necklace, or she could wear it carefully herself, but he had not thought that she would ask him to do it.

The hesitation only lasted for a moment, and then he put the necklace on Miao Man’s neck.

Her well-defined collarbone matched with the beautiful and resplendent gemstones was especially fitting.

“Miao Man, there’s something I want to ask you for an explanation.” Mu Ran, who had been hiding among the guests, walked out while Wang Man followed behind her unhurriedly.

“Why is she here? I heard that she was the one who pushed Miao Man down the stairs back then. She really has a wicked heart.”

“Right? I saw the video. It was too vicious. If it were me, I would have found a hole to hide in. How could I have the face to come here?”

“Mu Ran, what are you doing here?” Miao Man gritted her teeth and looked at Mu Ran. She was anxious and angry.

“Mu Ran, stop messing around.” Fu Ting also frowned and warned Mu Ran.

“I’m not messing around.” Mu Ran smiled, “I’m here to bless the engagement between Mr. Fu and Miss Miao, and to wish the two of you a long and happy marriage. By the way, about the trending search on Weibo, I have some other opinions about Miss Miao falling from the stairs six years ago.”

Mu Ran said every word out loud, and her eyes fixed on Miao Man..
