Chapter 869 - Chapter 869 Chapter 869 Ive Taken a Fancy to You and I Don’t
Chapter 869: Chapter 869: I’ve Taken a Fancy to You, and I Don’t Want to Regret It Now Chapter 869: Chapter 869: I’ve Taken a Fancy to You, and I Don’t Want to Regret It Now Shen Mo stood beside them, listening with a slight smile. After calling out for the first time, he found that it was no longer stressful to say it again. He looked at Song Chuanqi and called out again, “Dad.”
“Son,” Song Chuanqi responded with joyous laughter.
At this moment, all the guests had arrived. The master of ceremonies stood on a temporarily constructed platform, presiding over the engagement ceremony and announcing the official start of the engagement banquet. He invited Song Chuanqi and Ye Baixiu to come forward and give a speech on behalf of their engagement.
Ye Xingguang stood next to Ye Junqing, looking outward.
“What are you looking at?”
“My brother seems to have not arrived yet.”
“Isn’t that him?” Ye Junqing pointed at Xia Ye Zhao, who was talking with Gui Baili.
Ye Xingguang saw him. Hey, that settled it. His own engagement banquet would indeed feel somewhat lacking without his dear brother there.
On the stage, Song Chuanqi said, “I’d like to thank all relatives and friends for attending my daughter’s and my son’s engagement banquet. On this joyful day, I first want to thank the parents of my son-in-law and daughter-in-law for raising such excellent children, who have become wonderful additions to our family. Next, I want to thank all the guests for witnessing this happy moment for both couples. Lastly, I wish that both couples will love each other forever, united in heart. Getting engaged is just the first step in your journey of happiness. The road ahead is long, and I hope you maintain the sincerity of this moment forever. Whenever you face bumps and storms in your marriage, remember how you feel right now, how resolute you are in wanting to be together. As men, you should be considerate towards your wives…”
Ye Xingguang felt her hand being tightly held by Ye Junqing, and when she looked down, their fingers were intertwined.
She playfully said, “Did you hear what my dad said? In the future, when we face any storm in our marriage, you need to be more considerate of me and not just break up with me on a whim.”
Ye Junqing looked down at her, his deep eyes locking onto hers, “I have a bad temper, you know. It’s not too late to back out now.”
Ye Xingguang looked up, ready to kick him. Dog of a man, what is he even saying? Now was supposed to be their wonderful engagement day. “Can’t you say some sweet nothings to comfort me? Even if it’s just to deceive me, aren’t all men good at sweet-talking?”
“I’m just telling the truth,” Ye Junqing replied, embracing her shoulders and continuing in a low voice at her ear, “If you don’t back out now, you won’t get another chance, because I’ll never let go of you. Never again.”
“Hmph, my blindness for falling for you, and now I don’t want to back out. How about that?” she retorted, rolling her eyes.
“Uh…” Just as she finished rolling her eyes, he leaned in, capturing her lips.
Not so bad, he thought, deserving a reward for her commitment!
A kiss as romantic as the French, it left her cheeks blushing, and she hardly paid attention to what her father and father-in-law were saying afterward.
Then, she, Ye Junqing, Tang Zhou, and Shen Mo were invited up on the stage. Both couples were matched by the state, and now both had formed a beautiful union.
