Chapter 798 - 769: Pre-Wedding Preparation_2
"Muli, have you prepared the engagement ring for you and Baby? And the engagement dress," Old Madam Situ asked, holding the list in her hand, to Xiao Muli sitting opposite her. Recently, aside from doting on and worrying about Situ Xin, the pregnant lady, the Situ Family, Loo Family, and Xiao Family were all busy with the preparations for the engagement banquet.
Since the Xiao Family currently has no mistress, all the details concerning the engagement banquet arrangements have been entrusted to Old Madam Situ and Old Madam Loo.
Actually, there is a mistress, Xiao Muli’s mother, Liu Qian. However, Old Master Xiao and Xiao Muli reached a consensus that it’s better not to involve Liu Qian in these matters. They do not want the extra trouble of Liu Qian causing chaos in such a busy time, and neither of them has the energy to clean up the mess.
In fact, what Old Master Xiao and Muli feared even more was that Liu Qian might mess things up so bad that Situ Xin, the granddaughter-in-law Old Master Xiao had been eagerly awaiting, might slip through their fingers. Muli feared that his hard-won fiancée might also be driven away by his mother’s antics. So to be safe, both grandfather and grandson thought it best just to inform her to attend the engagement banquet.
Thus, up to this point, Liu Qian still didn’t know that her son was about to get engaged, or even married. Nor did she know that she was about to be upgraded to a grandmother. It was uncertain what kind of expression Liu Qian would have when she finally received the news.
"Grandma Situ, I’ve already prepared the engagement ring for Baby and me. Oh, I’ve even prepared the wedding ring. They were designed by me and then crafted by a famous international jewelry company," Xiao Muli said. After the last incident when Situ Xin was hospitalized with a high fever and unconsciousness, upon their discharge, Muli decided to personally design their engagement and wedding rings. He had prepared the designs but had not yet commissioned them to be made. He had planned to propose to Situ Xin with the engagement ring on the day of her graduation. However, he hadn’t expected that he’d need both the engagement and wedding rings in such a short period.
"Oh? Really? You designed them yourself?" Muli’s words instantly piqued the interest of all the women present, including Situ Xin, who was also curious as she had never heard Muli mention this before.
"Yes, I had designed them beforehand. This time, I just handed them directly to the jewelry company to have them custom-made." What Muli didn’t mention was that he had not only completed the designs for the engagement and wedding rings a long time ago, but he also prepared the required diamonds in advance.
Otherwise, the jewelry company wouldn’t have been able to complete the order within his requested timeframe.
