Ye Ling'er smiled sheepishly and said, "It really won't work."

She was lost in her own thoughts and didn't react for a moment.

Jian Yixue didn't continue the topic, but instead asked, "Do you like it?"

Ye Ling'er nodded excitedly, "I like it."

"It's not needed for the engagement now, but it can be used for the wedding."

Ye Ling'er accepted the gift and thanked her, "Yes, thank you, sister-in-law."

Jane Yixue said, "We're family, no need for thanks."

Soon, Nangong Ci arrived at the Ye family's old residence with his parents.

Meanwhile, everyone at the Ye family's side was already waiting in the hall.

As soon as Nangong Ci entered, he saw Ye Ling'er, who was breathtakingly beautiful, standing next to Old Master Ye.

He knew that Ye Ling'er was very beautiful. Her usual natural makeup already made him gasp in amazement, but today, with her all dressed up, she was even more stunning.

With makeup, her pure and lovely face gained a touch of femininity, which made him even more fascinated.

Nangong Ci held a bouquet of red roses wrapped in black and walked towards Ye Ling'er. He handed the roses to Ye Ling'er and said affectionately, "Ling'er, I can finally marry you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ling'er shyly accepted the bouquet, her blush lingering for a long time.

Everyone present was delighted to see this.

The Nangong family showed great sincerity; the betrothal gifts they brought could easily be described as a grand wedding procession.

Watching the servants of the Nangong family carry things in one by one from outside until the living room and courtyard, which were several hundred square meters in size, they finally stopped.

At this moment, Nangong Zhengde spoke up, "Old Master Ye, my son Nangong Ci is here to propose to your family's granddaughter, Ye Ling'er. The betrothal gifts are 60 billion in cash and 9,999 pieces of gold jewelry, symbolizing that the two of you will have a long and lasting relationship..."

The betrothal gifts included countless collectible treasures, as well as numerous bags and watches from luxury brands across the country.

You should know that any one of these items could be worth a house in Beijing.

The monetary gift was presented as a check framed in the form of a photograph; otherwise, there would be no way the courtyard could hold so much money.

After Nangong Zhengde finished speaking, Nangong Ci personally put a rather large and valuable diamond ring, which he had prepared beforehand, on Ye Ling'er's finger.

After all the procedures were completed, the group set off for the hotel they had booked in advance.

Although it's called an engagement, a wealthy family's engagement is never a small affair.

The Imperial Capital Hotel is the most luxurious and upscale hotel in the capital, even surpassing the five-star hotels under the Ye family's umbrella.

For this engagement, the Nangong family naturally wouldn't hold it at a hotel under the Ye family's umbrella, otherwise they might be accused of being stingy.

The Nangong family even booked the entire hotel and hosted a banquet for the two aristocratic families who were on good terms with them.

As soon as Nangong Ci and Ye Ling'er arrived, they were surrounded by everyone who offered them tea and wine as a blessing, keeping them extremely busy.

Meanwhile, Old Master Ye went to greet his peers.

Ye Mohan was no exception. As a business tycoon in the capital, there were many people who wanted to curry favor with him.

Jian Yixue had the foresight to find a corner to hide in, leaving Ye Mohan to deal with the pack of wolves and tigers all by himself.

Ye Mohan never liked these kinds of occasions. If it weren't for the fact that it was Ye Ling'er's special day, he would have quit long ago.

It was only after Ye Mohan had seen everyone off that he finally had time to go to the private room on the second floor.

Jian Yixue was leaning against the railing, gazing into the distance. Hearing footsteps beside her, she turned around, looked at them, and smiled, "Finished with work?"

Ye Mohan asked irritably, "Hmm. You just left your husband here to deal with things alone while you hid here watching the show?"

Jian Yixue said, "Don't say that. I'm just not good at handling social situations and I'm afraid I'll be a burden to you. Besides, you're such an outstanding guy. If I snatch you away, I'm afraid those girls in the capital will want to kill me."

Ye Mohan said dismissively, "You won't be a burden to me, and even if you are, I'll be willing to be a burden to you."

As for the other women in the capital, you don't need to care what they think. I'm your man, and no matter how jealous or envious they are, it won't change anything. My heart belongs only to you.

Jian Yixue smiled and said, "I wonder what they would think if they saw that the once cold and aloof head of the Ye family is like this in private."

Socialites in Beijing: We suspect you're in Versailles.

Ye Mohan said dismissively, "It doesn't matter, they can't see it."

Only his women can see his true colors.

Looking down at the protagonists, Nangong Ci and Ye Ling'er, Jian Yixue felt a pang of envy.

As everyone knows, not many people know about her wedding with Ye Mohan.

Seeing such a happy couple, she couldn't help but compare herself to them.

As if he had some kind of telepathic connection with Jian Yixue, Ye Mohan suddenly spoke, "I'm sorry, Xue'er. I couldn't give you a grand wedding. Once I find Lemon, I will definitely hold the grandest wedding in the world for you and make you the happiest woman in the world."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Mohan regretted what he had said.

Unfortunately, lemons were brought up at this time, and Xue'er had just managed to pull herself out of her sadness.

Upon hearing this, a hint of sadness flashed in Jian Yixue's eyes, and she immediately said, "Yes, I'll wait."

As the banquet drew to a close, Ye Mohan was chatting with Nangong Ci, while Jian Yixue and Ye Ling'er, not far away, were eating heartily without any restraint.

The two men looked at each other's women with eyes full of doting love.

Suddenly, a slightly cheerful male voice rang out beside Ye Mohan.

"Congratulations, Third Brother, on winning the heart of your beauty."
