Chapter 127: The Engagement

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Wen Chi’s father shook his head, sighing, “Ah, children have their own choices.” Mrs. Wen was usually more accommodating on other matters, but when it came to her son Wen Chi’s lifelong decisions, she was not easily swayed.

After hanging up the phone, Mrs. Wen felt a smoldering frustration inside her.

In theory, she hadn’t met the girl yet and shouldn’t be preconceived, but Wen Chi’s attitude had annoyed her.

According to his words, the girl he was interested in was probably quite ordinary, but she was someone he highly valued, as evidenced by his defense of her.

“Adult son is hard to discipline!” It seemed like she would have to find a way to see what kind of girl the girlfriend was.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a month had gone by. The day of Gu Shaoting and Tong Fei’s engagement was fast approaching.

Song Can had been busy with the preparations for their engagement, notifying relatives and friends and booking the hotel.

Gu Shaoting, as usual, was not concerned at all about the engagement preparations.

Song Can was anxious. She was worried that Tong Fei might not feel comfortable. So, she took it upon herself to handle many things.

With only a few days left, Gu Shaoting’s suit had not been chosen. Originally, they had planned for a simple engagement ceremony with a grand wedding later. However, Song Can didn’t want to make Tong Fei feel uncomfortable and wanted a more significant ceremony.

In her heart, this was her first daughter-in-law truly marrying into the family. When Gu Shaoting married Shu Pan, it was low-key, and many people didn’t even know about it.

She wanted the engagement to be well-known and respectable.

She couldn’t handle the task of selecting the suit, and this had made her increasingly frustrated.

“Shaoting, do you even realize that your engagement is this weekend?” As soon as the call was connected, Song Can said anxiously.

“Mom, I know. Haven’t you already made all the arrangements?” Gu Shaoting had been at the office recently.

“Have you not chosen your suit yet? Pay more attention and take it seriously.” Song Can was a bit puzzled, wondering why it seemed like she was pushing him into marriage.

“I know, Mom, I have something to attend to.” Gu Shaoting hurriedly hung up the phone.

Standing in his office, Gu Shaoting gazed out of the window with his deep-set eyes. He felt a bit restless, questioning whether getting engaged was the right decision. Recently, he often found himself reminiscing about the moments he had shared with Shu Pan.

However, he also couldn’t let Tong Fei down, considering their years-long relationship.

If he were to say he didn’t want to get engaged now, where would that leave Tong Fei?

It seemed like there was no turning back now. He picked up his phone and contacted He Ming, instructing him to handle the suit selection.

The day of the engagement arrived as scheduled, and the news spread quickly. Media outlets had gathered outside, and by noon, the hotel was completely crowded

Before long, the guests started arriving, and the atmosphere was lively.

Song Can wore a smiling face as she welcomed relatives and friends, while He Ming helped entertain business associates.

The time for the evening banquet arrived. Suddenly, the massive crystal chandelier in the center of the hall dimmed. Before the guests could understand what was happening, a spotlight shone brightly on the entrance. A delicate foot stepped into the hall, and under the contrast of golden high heels, it emitted a radiant glow, leaving everyone breathless.

Tong Fei, with a charming smile, held Gu Shaoting’s arm as they entered the venue. Her bare shoulders were half exposed, and long gemstone earrings swayed with her graceful steps. Her pale yellow dress highlighted her perfect curves, and the fine pleats at the hem of her gown fluttered delicately, captivating everyone’s hearts.

In contrast, the future groom, dressed in a tasteful suit, looked dashing and charismatic. However, his expression was serious, and the joy of a typical groom was absent..
