Three days later.

Li Yanli and Shangguan Yunxin's engagement banquet was held as scheduled at the Shengjue Hotel.

It was just an engagement ceremony, yet it was constantly under the scrutiny of various media outlets.

In Chengdu, the Rong family's position is stable and unshakeable, ranking first.

Next are the Ye family, the Shangguan family, and the Luo family.

The four major families directly monopolized the economy of Chengdu and even influenced neighboring cities.

At today's engagement banquet, the host only allowed one or two leading media magazines to remain in the hotel banquet hall for interviews and record-keeping.

Other less influential magazines could only wait outside the hotel.

At this moment, the atmosphere and decorations at the Saint-Germain Hotel became so festive because of the couple's happy occasion.

Layers of pink balloons were stacked on top of each other, and an engagement photo of the newlyweds was displayed at the entrance.

A waiter was filling a whole row of stacked glasses with champagne.

Rigorous and meticulous.

Next to it is a nine-tiered engagement cake, symbolizing a long and lasting relationship.

The engagement table was filled with all kinds of desserts and drinks.

In addition, the most prominent item on the central display stand is the engagement letter between Li Yanli and Shangguan Yunxin.

There are persimmon candy boxes, "lucky fruit" (a type of fruit symbolizing good fortune), "hundred happiness" pictures, dried fruit baskets, and many small "happiness" characters as decorations.

It is not only full of ritual, but also beautiful and festive.

And of course, there are also 999 red roses.

The same wish is for the newlyweds to be together forever and ever.

As the newlyweds, Li Yanli and Shangguan Yunxin were arranged by their parents to greet relatives and friends at the door.

Looking at the drowsy, listless man beside her, Shangguan Yunxin reached out and pinched his waist hard.

"Today is our engagement party. Can you cheer up and smile? Otherwise people will think I'm pressuring you to get married."

"Hehe." Li Yanli gave Shangguan Yunxin a fake smile, as fake as could be.

"Young Miss, is this alright?"

Seeing his eight white teeth flash across his face, his expression stiff, Shangguan Yunxin glared at him helplessly, "I'm going to tell on you later."

"Whatever you want." After saying that, Li Yanli yawned lazily.

The backward leaning motion and the wide-open mouth made Shangguan Yunxin unable to bear looking at him.

How could she have fallen for this guy?

I've liked it since I was little.

Although she was somewhat disgusted, Shangguan Yunxin was secretly delighted.

"Jing-ge, sister-in-law, you're here."

Shangguan Yunxin saw Rong Jing and Su Yinwan walking in from outside and quickly greeted them.

"Yunxin, congratulations on your engagement! May you be forever united and grow old together!"

Su Yinwan linked arms with Rong Jing, happily offering her blessings to the newlyweds.

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

"Assistant Xu, please give me the gift, thank you."

Su Yinwan turned to Assistant Xu and said.

Assistant Xu handed a slightly larger, exquisite gift box to Su Yinwan.

She then handed it to Shangguan Yunxin, saying, "This is an engagement gift for you two, symbolizing happiness and bliss."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Li Yanli and Shangguan Yunxin thanked Su Yinwan in unison.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yanli stepped forward to accept the gift, nodded and smiled, and carefully placed it on the gift-giving table next to him.

"Jing-ge, you take your wife inside first. We still need to greet our guests. We'll come find you later."

Li Yanli raised his hand and pointed to the banquet hall inside.

"Um."

Many guests have already arrived at the banquet hall.

When the bosses saw Rong Jing, they warmly stepped forward to greet him.

On the other side, Ye Chen's car slowly came to a stop downstairs at Yun He's house.

The man in the car looked at the message on his phone, neither angry nor happy.

An hour ago, Li Yanli tagged him directly in the brothers' group chat.

[Ah Chen, Yun Xin has invited Yun He to her engagement party. Please give her a ride with you on your way.]

Ye Chen saw this message before getting on the bus.

Yunhe's residential area and his place are in opposite directions and are not on the same route at all.

However, without much hesitation, he turned the steering wheel and drove directly towards Yunhe's residence.

Yunhe hurriedly finished getting ready and rushed downstairs.

She needed to hurry and take a taxi to the hotel; Wanwan had already arrived there, and she couldn't be late.

Her car was borrowed by a colleague yesterday, so she can only arrange a car to go to the hotel today.

Holding the gifts in her hands, she nervously opened the ride-hailing app.

"Why do we have to wait another half hour? It's not even rush hour."

Looking at the waiting time displayed on the software, Yunhe knew it would take at least thirty minutes.

Why don't we go out and hail a taxi?

Yunhe thought to herself, "I hope I can find an empty taxi later."

At that moment, she looked up and noticed a car parked not far away.

It feels so familiar.

Yunhe went up and saw that the car window was open.

She saw Ye Chen sitting in the driver's seat.

The man was on the phone.

He glanced at Yun He, who had suddenly appeared, and then quickly hung up the phone.

"Get in the car," he said to Yunhe calmly.

"Why did you come? Why didn't you tell me?"

Yunhe was overjoyed; she couldn't believe it was real.

"Yunxin was worried you wouldn't be able to find the hotel, so she asked me to come and pick you up."

"Oh, I see."

Yunhe's tone was tinged with disappointment.

She thought Ye Chen had come to pick her up, but it turned out she was acting on someone else's behalf.

"Fasten your seatbelt," Ye Chen said calmly, noticing Yun He's distraction.

"oh."

Yunhe then reached out and fastened her seatbelt.
