In a corner of the banquet, Lin Wan held a wine glass, half her face hidden behind an exquisite feather mask, but her eyes shone with an astonishing brightness. She nudged Su Man beside her with her elbow and exclaimed excitedly:

"Manman, look, look! Qingqing, our darling, agreed!"

Su Man withdrew her gaze from the couple in the center, and helplessly glanced at her best friend. Anyone who didn't know better would think that was her daughter.

"But your son has good taste; this bracelet really suits Qingqing very well."

Lin Wan clicked her tongue in disdain, making no attempt to hide her complaints:

“There’s an emerald ring that’s even better. I asked him to take that one, but he refused, saying that he would give other rings to Nanqing, and he only wanted this jade bracelet.”

Upon hearing this, Su Man's gaze fell on the sapphire ring on Nan Qing's other hand. She was secretly pleased. It was clear that the child had put some thought into it, as Nan Qing had always liked blue and green.

However, if it weren't for the fact that the other party was Lin Wan's son, she would have kicked them out when Lin Wan and Gu Jin came to her door yesterday. It was truly the first time she had ever seen someone in such a hurry.

That is, she and Lin Wan have been friends for decades, and she also learned from her daughter that Lin Wan was satisfied with the Gu family's son, otherwise why would she have agreed to hold an engagement banquet so quickly?

The two men beside them exchanged a glance, and neither of them spoke.

One was forced to bite the bullet and propose marriage, while the other reluctantly agreed to marry his daughter to the Gu family.

They've only been back for less than two months, and his precious daughter has only been on that TV show for a few days. How did they suddenly get involved in getting married...?

However, when Gu Beiyan put the jade bracelet on Nan Qing's wrist, both sets of parents were quite reliable. They took off their masks, linked arms, and slowly walked out.

As she approached, Su Man looked at Gu Beiyan and nodded in satisfaction. He had grown even more handsome than when he was a child.

Moreover, he is said to be very intelligent, manages the company very well, and at first glance, he is very considerate and attentive to Nan Qing.

She took Nanqing's hand and brought her to her side. It was only then that Nanqing realized that her parents and brother were also there.

"Mom, what are you doing here?"

Su Man patted the back of her hand and smiled gently: "What, you don't want us here? If we're not here at the engagement party, what kind of engagement party is it?"

"ah?"

To be honest, Nan Qing was indeed startled for a moment by those three words. Just when she thought it was an ordinary dance party, Gu Beiyan proposed.

Just when she thought it was a carefully planned proposal dance, her parents showed up.

Then I told her it was an engagement party...

But she didn't say anything, she just turned her body slightly and glared at Gu Beiyan on the other side.

And so on, how many lifetimes is he going to play this game of acting first and informing later!

At that moment, the melodious violin music stopped, and all the lights in the banquet hall were turned on, illuminating the champagne tower on one side.

Mr. Gu, hand in hand with Lin Wan, and Mr. Mu, hand in hand with Su Man, stepped onto the low steps and ascended the stage. Mr. Gu raised his hand and gently tapped the champagne glass in his hand. The crisp sound quieted the guests down. He smiled and looked around at everyone with a gentle gaze.

"Thank you all for gracing us with your presence today." Father Gu's voice was steady and powerful, echoing throughout the banquet hall. "Today I have some good news to announce."

Perhaps disliking his lukewarm attitude, Lin Wan, standing beside her, promptly took over the conversation:

"Our Gu family's eldest son, Bei Yan, and the Mu family's daughter, Mu Nanqing, are officially engaged today!"

Her voice was clear and bright, with a rising tone at the end, and she couldn't hide her pride, as if she were the one who had won the heart of a beauty, not her son's engagement.

After she finished speaking, she was about to turn her head to let Gu Beiyan say a few words to please his father-in-law who didn't like him, but she caught a glimpse out of the corner of her eye that Gu Beiyan, who should have been standing beside her, was now standing next to Nan Qing, and the clinginess between them was really unbearable to watch.

Mr. Mu saw it too, but what could he do? It was his daughter's choice.

He smiled helplessly, raised his glass, and added, "The two children are in love, and we as parents are naturally happy to see them get together. I hope everyone will raise a glass to wish the newlyweds well."

Most of the people present were business associates of the Gu and Mu families. The close relationship between the Gu and Mu families was no secret, so there was little surprise, and everyone smiled and raised their glasses.

Only the other guests on "Heart Signal" and the viewers in the live stream were shocked.

What's going on? The male and female guests got engaged on the third day of the show?!

Is the world upside down, or am I upside down?

Holy crap, my favorite couple has become a real-life couple?!

Wait, could they have known each other before they appeared on the show?

[An insider revealed a secret: the Gu family and the Mu family have always had a very good relationship, it seems to have been for several generations, and their parents were also friends.]

So it's a business marriage between wealthy families?

Is this show on double speed? While others are still flirting and testing the waters, these two are already engaged...

[Nonsense, look at the CEO's eyes, this isn't an arranged marriage, it's clearly a childhood sweetheart relationship coming to life]

[Wow~~ So my wife is a hidden heiress??]

[Gu Beiyan: You still dare to call me "wife"? You're asking for it!]

Looking at the way they look at each other, it's definitely true love.

[Help! I actually saw a couple in pure love!]

[...]

The other six guests on the show stood together, looking at each other in bewilderment. Bai Youyuan almost dropped the champagne in her hand, and lowered her voice to say:

"So...we were dragged along to accompany the young master and young lady on their paid date?"

Lian An coughed lightly, a half-smile on his face: "It shouldn't be. You could tell from the way Gu Beiyan looked at Nan Qing on the first day that it must have been their first meeting."

Then she added, "Maybe I saw him when I was a child, but this should be the first time we've met in the last ten years or so. His eyes couldn't hide it."

Upon hearing this, Bai Youyuan became even more excited: "I didn't expect these two to be so playful, they're serious!"

At that moment, Xie Chi suddenly leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I'm serious too."

Bai Youyuan turned to look at Xie Chi, who was dressed in a suit and tie, with a bright smile, but she didn't respond to his words and continued to look in the direction of Nan Qing and Gu Beiyan.

Seeing Bai Youyuan remain silent, Xie Chi also paused for a moment, but soon a resolute look flashed in his eyes.

Meanwhile, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room was soaring at an astonishing rate.

Meanwhile, the program title "Heartbeat Signal" and hashtags such as #YanQingEngaged# and #RichCoupleRealized# quickly became trending topics on major entertainment apps, sparking discussions across the internet.

On Weibo, the official account of Gu's Group also posted a Weibo post that quickly garnered hundreds of thousands of comments.

The various subsidiaries and brands under the Gu Group also shared the news, making it known to everyone in Beijing's business circles.

Fortunately, she found a precious daughter in the Mu family, and they finally became a perfect match.

We are pleased to announce that Mr. Gu Beiyan, CEO of the Gu Group, and Ms. Mu Nanqing, heiress of the Mu Group, are officially engaged today.
