With careful arrangements made by both sets of parents, the Gu and He families finally found a suitable time to meet and discuss the future development of Gu Yunxi and He Siyan. The meeting was arranged in a private room of an elegant restaurant, surrounded by the faint fragrance of flowers and soft music, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

Gu Yanxiao and Xia Liang were dressed appropriately. Xia Liang wore an elegant light blue dress, which made her look both dignified and approachable. Gu Yanxiao wore a neat suit, showing his composure and authority as the head of the family.

He Siyan's father, He Zhiyi, was a tall, imposing, and dignified middle-aged man. He wore a dark suit, which made him appear exceptionally solemn. Huang Haitang, on the other hand, chose a deep red cheongsam, which accentuated her gentle temperament and mature feminine charm.

The two families sat around a carefully arranged dining table, which was set with exquisite tableware and fresh flowers. The warm yellow light shone on everyone's faces, adding to the intimacy and warmth.

Gu Yanxiao broke the silence first, his voice gentle and sincere: "Mr. He, Ms. Huang, it's a pleasure to meet you today. We've all come together for the happiness of our children."

He Zhiqiang nodded in response, his tone equally sincere: "Mr. Gu, Ms. Xia Liang, and we are too. We are pleased with Si Yan and Yun Xi's relationship, and we hope they can receive the best support and blessings."

Xia Liang smiled, her eyes revealing her love for the children: "We see Yunxi and Siyan together, and it warms our hearts. Their feelings are genuine, and as parents, we naturally hope they can be happy."

Huang Haitang gently added, "Yes, we hope so too. Seeing our children love each other so much makes us parents feel at ease."

During this meeting, the parents not only discussed their children's romantic relationships but also exchanged their family values ​​and expectations for the future. They unanimously agreed that young people should be given enough freedom and support to plan their future according to their own wishes.

In a pleasant and harmonious atmosphere, after in-depth discussions, the parents of the Gu and He families reached a consensus and decided to hold an engagement ceremony for the young couple, Gu Yunxi and He Siyan. They chose a time convenient for both families—Gu Yunxi's vacation.

Gu Yanxiao and Xia Liang were satisfied with the timing, as it took into account both Gu Yunxi's studies and made it convenient for He Siyan to take leave from the army. He Zhiqiang and Huang Haitang also agreed with the arrangement, believing that holidays were the best time for families to reunite and celebrate happy occasions.

Xia Liang smiled and said, "Holding the engagement ceremony during Yunxi's vacation will allow the children to enjoy this important moment without the pressure of work and studies."

Huang Haitang nodded in agreement: "Yes, the timing is excellent. It also gives us enough time to prepare and arrange everything."

Gu Yanxiao added earnestly, "We will begin preparing for the engagement ceremony as soon as possible to ensure everything goes smoothly."

He Zhiyi also said, "We will do our part to make this engagement ceremony a beautiful memory for our two children."

The parents' faces were filled with satisfied and expectant smiles. They knew that this was not only an important milestone in their children's lives, but also the beginning of a formal connection between the two families.

Xia Liang returned home in a joyful mood. She found her mother-in-law, Han Yulan, and prepared to share this important news with her. A satisfied smile graced Xia Liang's face, and her eyes sparkled with anticipation for the future.

"Mom, we've already discussed it with the He family and decided to hold their engagement ceremony when Yunxi is on vacation." Xia Liang's voice revealed a hint of excitement.

Upon hearing the news, Han Yulan immediately smiled with relief: "That's wonderful, Xia Liang. This is a joyous occasion for the children, we must make the preparations well."

Xia Liang nodded in agreement: "Yes, Mom. I'm already thinking about what I need to prepare, from the engagement ring to the banquet decorations, and the list of invited relatives and friends. There's quite a lot to do."

Han Yulan also actively participated in the discussion: "We need to carefully select the venue for the engagement banquet. We need to find a place that can reflect our blessings for the children and make the guests feel comfortable."

Xia Liang added, "I'm also thinking about preparing a suitable engagement dress for Yunxi, and a suit for He Siyan. They both need to look radiant on such an important day."

Afterward, Xia Liang and Han Yulan began preparing for their engagement. Xia Liang was responsible for contacting the banquet venue and choosing the engagement ring, while Han Yulan started compiling the guest list and considering various details of the engagement ceremony.

A festive atmosphere began to fill the Gu family home, with every family member excited about the upcoming engagement ceremony and looking forward to this important moment.

At the He family home, He Zhiyi and Huang Haitang were also actively discussing the details of the upcoming engagement ceremony. They wanted to ensure that every step reflected respect for Gu Yunxi and the importance they placed on this marriage.

He Zhiyi turned to look at his son, He Siyan, knowing that his son's opinion was equally important: "Siyan, what are your thoughts? Do you have any special hopes or requests for the engagement ceremony?"

He Siyan thought about it seriously for a while, and then replied, "Dad, I just hope that the engagement ceremony can be simple and warm, and not too complicated. The important thing is that Yunxi and I can feel the blessings of our family and friends."

After listening, Huang Haitang gently added, "Simple and warm, that's a great idea. We can put more effort into the details to make the engagement ceremony both meaningful and comfortable."

He Zhiyi nodded in agreement: "Then let's prepare in this direction. Si Yan, you and Yun Xi can choose engagement rings together. These are tokens of your love, so be sure to choose ones you both like."

He Siyan smiled and agreed: "Okay, Dad. I will discuss it with Yunxi and choose a pair of rings that we both like and that have sentimental value."

The atmosphere at the He family home was also filled with joy and anticipation. He Zhiyi and Huang Haitang began preparing for the engagement ceremony, meticulously handling every detail from selecting a suitable banquet venue to designing invitations and finalizing the guest list.
