They got engaged on the Lantern Festival, which was also the day before school started.

The engagement banquet was a grand affair, inviting all the collateral branches of the Liu and Gu families, long-term business partners, Liu Nian's entire class, Gu Minhang's entire class, and even the school's teachers.

Whether they will come or not is unknown. In fact, Liu Nian did not want to invite his classmates, since they were not familiar with each other. However, due to what Liu Yansheng said, since they were classmates, he invited everyone to have wedding candy to celebrate. So Gu Minhang naturally invited his classmates as well.

Of course, this news caused quite a stir when it was released.

They never expected that Liu Nian and Chairman Gu would get engaged.

However, they also offered their blessings, after all, they were a handsome man and a beautiful woman, both talented and a perfect match.

They were also wealthy scions of high society, and although the invitation seemed somewhat like an attempt to curry favor with the Gu family, they still went. Making connections with certain people would benefit both themselves and their family business.

Liu Nian wore a fitted red cheongsam dress, which Liu Xing specially designed for her. Liu Xing even booked her wedding dress.

Her hair was styled in an updo, with a few wisps of hair framing her face, giving her a gentle and charming appearance.

Gu Minhang wore a suit in the same style as hers, which made him even more charming and handsome.

The two stood together on the stage, facing the gaze of the entire audience, and exchanged engagement rings after the emcee's declaration.

When Gu Minhang put the ring on Liu Nian's finger, his hand trembled slightly, and it took him a while to align it with Liu Nian's right middle finger.

Liu Nian wasn't much better off; things seemed even more tense than for Gu Minhang.

She couldn't get the ring right even after several attempts, so Gu Minhang couldn't wait any longer. He grabbed her hand, aligned it with his left middle finger, and slowly slipped the ring on. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Amidst thunderous applause from the audience, he embraced Liu Nian and, before the crowd could even begin to cheer, kissed her passionately.

At this moment, the young people in the audience erupted in even louder cheers.

The flashes never stopped.

Their engagement party was broadcast live to the public. By "taking care of civil aviation," he meant that he wanted the whole world to know that his fiancée, Liu Nian, was with him, and that no one else could covet her.

Mr. Gu and Liu Yansheng in the audience were very happy for them. Even Liu Xing, who mainly designs clothing, had a camera set up in front of her. If you didn't know better, you would think she was a professional photographer.

She wanted to capture her sister's happy moments.

After the ceremony, the next segment was the dance. Liu Nian and Gu Minhang danced the opening dance in front of a crowd.

Fortunately, Liu Nian is good at singing and dancing; otherwise, she would probably have embarrassed herself in front of so many people.

The two of them danced joyfully, like a prince and princess, in the center of the stage.

When the song ended, the people behind found their dance partners and danced together.

Liu Nian felt a little tired, so Gu Minhang told her to sit down and rest while he went to deal with the guests.

Ding Tiantian seized the opportunity and rushed in front of her.

"Liu Nian, you look so beautiful today!" She hugged Liu Nian excitedly. "You smell so good. I could smell it whenever I got close to you. What brand of perfume is it? It smells so nice."

Liu Nian pushed her away: "It's not perfume, it's just your natural body scent." After saying that, she casually grabbed a handful of candy from the table next to her and stuffed it into Ding Tiantian's hands. "These are my wedding candies, you should eat more, hehe."

Ding Tiantian nodded emphatically: "Definitely, I will definitely taste how sweet your love with Chairman Gu is. I think... it must be even sweeter than this candy, hahaha."

Even the passing years seemed to smile along with her.

Gu Minhang arrived shortly after. Seeing that they were chatting happily, he did not go up to disturb them, but waited a short distance away.

Ding Tiantian approached Liu Nian slyly: "Liu Nian, Chairman Gu usually looks fierce, but I didn't expect him to be such a different person after falling in love. He's like a man who can't live without his wife. It's really shocking."

Liu Nian nodded in agreement: "I think so too."

They started laughing again over the next two days.

Ding Tiantian noticed that Gu Minhang kept looking this way, and knew that he was looking for Liu Nian. She didn't dare to hold onto Liu Nian for too long, so she quickly said that she would see him at school tomorrow and then disappeared into the crowd.

After seeing her leave, Gu Minhang quickly sat down next to Liu Nian.

"Year after year," her voice filled with longing, "Are you tired? I booked a room upstairs at the hotel, would you like to go up and rest?"

Liu Nian shook her head: "No need. Don't you have to deal with those business partners?"

"They told me to ignore them and come keep you company." Of course, this was only when he occasionally glanced in the direction of the flowing years, so they couldn't keep him for too long and asked him to come over.

Liu Nian nodded, resting her head on his shoulder. "It's quite tiring."

"Let's go upstairs and rest." He said, pulling the person up to stand up.

Because Liu Nian was wearing a cheongsam, which accentuated her figure beautifully, Gu Minhang took off his suit jacket and draped it over her shoulders.

"The heating is on now, but it will be cold when we go outside later, so I'll put this on for now."

Liu Nian was afraid of the cold, so she didn't say anything, but held tightly to his clothes as the two left the banquet hall.

Gu Minhang had booked the top-floor presidential suite, and it was only afternoon, but it was broad daylight outside.

As soon as Liu Nian entered, she felt the warmth of the heating, so she put her coat on the sofa and walked to the French windows to look downstairs.

This is the top floor of the hotel, a high-rise building with over 90 floors. Looking down from here, you can hardly see the vehicles passing by below.

Gu Minhang hugged her from behind, and the two quietly enjoyed the expansive view outside the window together.

It's drizzling a bit today, and when I look out the window, the air feels very clear.

"No wonder so many people want to stand on high ground and look down," Liu Nian remarked.
