The following days were peaceful, and in the blink of an eye it was Ji Mingyuan's engagement day.
There was no such plot as in the melodramatic drama where Ji Mingyuan gave up everything to follow Liao Wen after she went abroad. Ji Mingyuan's engagement party went exceptionally smoothly.
As Ji Mingyuan's brother, Lu Jinghuai naturally had to attend, and Lin Yan also followed him that day.
At the engagement party, Lin Yan also saw another person on the invitation, Miss Zhou.
Miss Zhou is a very pretty girl, who looks generous and gentle. When she saw Lin Yan, she greeted her with a smile.
"Hello, Mrs. Lu. Mingyuan and Mr. Lu have a good relationship so we can practice more in the future."
Because of Liao Wen, Lin Yan felt a little embarrassed for a moment and didn't know how to face Miss Zhou, but she could only nod randomly in response to the goodwill shown by Miss Zhou.
Fortunately, there are many guests today. Ji Mingyuan and Miss Zhou have to entertain other guests and cannot accompany your Lu Jinghuai and Lin Yan all the time.
Only after Ji Mingyuan took Miss Zhou away did Lin Yan breathe a sigh of relief.
Even though she had a good relationship with Liao Wen, she could not go against her conscience and belittle Miss Zhou. Miss Zhou was indeed a very good girl, but she was destined not to have a close relationship with Miss Zhou. She always felt that it was a bit of a betrayal to Liao Wen.
However, Lin Yan couldn't help but tug at Lu Jinghuai's clothes beside her and asked in a low voice.
"Why would Miss Zhou fall for Ji Mingyuan... well, in this situation."
Lin Yan was indeed a little curious.
Since Miss Zhou is engaged to Ji Mingyuan, her family conditions must be good. Why would she choose Ji Mingyuan, who has someone else in his heart?
Lu Jinghuai did not hide it and whispered the reason.
"Miss Zhou's parents favor boys over girls. Miss Zhou needs the Ji family's help to join the Zhou Group. The relationship between the two can be considered a kind of cooperation."
"Then Ji Mingyuan and Miss Zhou cooperated with each other to fake marriage?" Lin Yan couldn't help but think of the bloody plots in some TV dramas, where couples who have been married for many years do not sleep in the same room.
Lu Jinghuai was silent for a moment and glanced at Lin Yan: "How is that possible? The Ji family and the Zhou family are not fools. Not only do they need to get married, but they also need to have a child as soon as possible. Only then will their cooperation be stable."
Lin Yan didn't know whether she should feel disappointed after receiving this answer. After a long silence, she sighed.
"I used to think that only poor families favored sons over daughters, but now rich families also favor sons over daughters, and it's quite serious."
Lu Jinghuai paused and said, "We don't discriminate against boys in our family. Qianqian has shares in the company. I will give one share to each of our children, regardless of gender. However, the company will still be handed over to someone who is capable, and the other person can take the shares. It doesn't matter whether the child is a boy or a girl, so our daughter won't suffer any loss."
Lin Yan glanced at Lu Jinghuai and wanted to remind him that our daughter is not here yet, so there is still a copy for everyone, and our daughter will not suffer any loss.
However, Lu Jinghuai's idea still made Lin Yan feel good. Having suffered from the injustice of her parents, she hoped that her daughter could enjoy the same love as her brothers.
After the engagement party, the couple's wedding date was set for April next year, shortly after the New Year.
A wealthy family’s wedding is not just about setting up a few tables of wine; there are many things that need to be prepared.
Before leaving, Lin Yan couldn't help but look in the direction of Ji Mingyuan and Miss Zhou again. The two were standing side by side to see off the guests. The handsome man and beautiful woman looked very well matched.
Ji Mingyuan also had a polite smile on his face, but Lin Yan couldn't help but think of the bitterness when Liao Wen mentioned that there was no future between them, and the tears in Ji Mingyuan's eyes when he was drunk in the bar that night.
Lin Yan withdrew her gaze, but couldn't help but glance at the man beside her and asked, "If you were Ji Mingyuan, what would you do?"
Lu Jinghuai paused and looked at Lin Yan, then answered honestly, "I don't know."
"There are many marriages between wealthy families, but not so many romantic ones."
Lin Yan made a "tsk" sound and didn't ask any more questions, but she already had the answer in her mind.
If Lu Jinghuai were Ji Mingyuan, he would probably make a similar choice, right? After all, Lu Jinghuai agreed to the marriage proposal right after meeting Lin Yan once.
Lu Jinghuai's eyes flashed, but he held Lin Yan's hand tightly. Indeed, when he married Lin Yan, he didn't attach much importance to this marriage. In his opinion, it didn't matter who he married.
However, he is now very fortunate that his other half is Lin Yan. It is Lin Yan who makes his marriage, which was originally formed for the sake of profit, meaningful.
In an instant, Lu Jinghuai's eyes softened, and only relief remained in his heart.
Lin Yan did not tell Liao Wen that today was Ji Mingyuan's engagement day, but that night she still tentatively sent a message to ask Liao Wen how she was doing recently.
Liao Wen did not reply immediately, but sent her a picture of a blue sky the next afternoon.
Liao Wen told Lin Yan that she had arrived in a very warm small country and planned to stay there temporarily. She was afraid of the cold, so she planned to spend a warm winter in this country.
Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
The date for Lu Jinghuai and Lin Yan's wedding has also been set, at the end of the year, during the annual holiday.
There is no other reason, it is mainly to coincide with the annual leave. Lin Yan does not want to take leave to get married.
When a friend at work asks for leave, should I ask for leave to get married?
Lin Yan felt inexplicably embarrassed. It sounded strange that he was asking for leave to get married after being married for a year.
Lu Jinghuai did not refuse Lin Yan's proposal. It would be a good idea to get married during the Chinese New Year holiday. The Lu family didn't have many relatives and friends, and there wasn't much socializing during the Chinese New Year, so it was just the right time to get married.
The date has been set, and the wedding venue has also been decided. It's in the romantic capital of country F, where the Lu family happens to have an ancient castle, and the wedding will be held in the castle.
Lu Jinghuai has already started to cultivate flowers in the greenhouse. When the time comes to transplant them there, even in winter, their wedding will be filled with blooming flowers.
But those are all things that happened later. Currently, the two of them are still living a normal life. They go to get off work and come home together every day. After returning home and having dinner, they will go to the study to read for a while, and occasionally go out for a date.
The days passed slowly, and with each autumn rain came a chill, and the North City also became cold.
At the beginning of winter, Lin Yan fell ill with a fever of 39 degrees Celsius. She was in a daze. Lu Jinghuai was so anxious that he sweated all over in the middle of the night and sent her directly to the nearest hospital.
After various examinations, medications and injections, Lin Jiao didn't even know she had a fever. She was particularly pretentious when she was sick, and she lay on Lu Jinghuai's shoulder and whimpered.
When Lin Yan came out of the examination department and was about to go back upstairs for the injection, she suddenly saw a familiar figure.
