Bai Jingyuan and Yao Wanyin exchanged a smile.
With a gesture from Yao Wanyin, the lights in the banquet hall suddenly dimmed.
Just as the guests were letting out surprised gasps, the spotlight suddenly shone on Huo Zhixing and Jiang Can.
The whole world's attention is on them, but in Huo Zhixing's eyes, the only focus is on Jiang Can.
The giant flower ball on the ceiling in the center of the venue slowly opened, rose petals fell, accompanied by soft lights and melodious music, along with colorful bubbles, creating a breathtakingly beautiful and dreamlike scene.
Jiang Can was stunned by what she saw and stood there speechless.
Huo Zhixing looked at her tenderly.
This was originally something he had carefully arranged for her, and he had already communicated with the Yao family.
I just didn't expect that the show would be moved up because of Cheng Xuerou.
Huo Zhixing smiled slightly, knelt on one knee in front of Jiang Can, and presented a diamond ring. The diamond, weighing a full ten carats, was perfectly cut and refracted an extraordinary brilliance under the light.
"Is Young Master Huo proposing on the spot?"
"I have to record this rare scene!"
"Exactly! If I retweet this, my Weibo traffic might hit a new record! Haha..."
People whispered among themselves, their faces showing a mixture of surprise and anticipation.
After all, the Huo Zhixing they knew was aloof and seemingly not of this world, much less someone with human emotions and desires.
And today, at this very moment, they met a completely different Huo Zhixing.
“Can Can,” he looked into her eyes, his gaze like stars, and solemnly uttered those three words in a magnetic voice: “Marry me.”
After a few seconds of silence, the scene immediately erupted in excitement.
Is this still the Huo Zhixing they know?
Is it that ruthless and decisive business tycoon, Huo Zhixing?
But the tenderness in his eyes was overflowing, and the curve of his lips was captivating.
He even knelt down and proposed to Jiang Can!
"Oh my God!" These were the two words that were shouted most loudly in the crowd.
It seems that nothing else can express their envy at this moment except for these two words.
Cheng Xuerou was stunned, frozen in place, as if struck by lightning, her mind completely blank.
"Xiaorou, this..." Nancy's face turned pale with fright. "How could this be? Didn't you say you were having a good chat with Huo Zhixing just now?!"
"Oh, sister, don't you know what kind of person your artist is?" The actress said in a mocking tone, "Ha, if she wants to latch onto a sugar daddy, why don't you pick someone she can actually latch onto?"
"Xue Rou just said that Third Master Huo doesn't like women getting close to him!" The other female celebrities chuckled and added insult to injury, "Only Xue Rou can get close to him!"
"Really? You must be joking!"
"Xue Rou, I think you should stop singing. You've offended Young Master Huo and Miss Jiang, so you probably won't be able to sing anymore! Hey? Why don't you switch to crosstalk? You're so funny, there's bound to be people who want to listen!"
"Hahaha……"
Cheng Xuerou clenched her fists, trembling with anger.
Just as she was about to lash out, Nancy, quick-witted and agile, grabbed her and frantically gave her meaningful glances.
At that moment, shouts arose from the crowd: "Say yes! Say yes!"
Cheng Xuerou was unwilling to give up and looked in the direction of the sound.
Jiang Can stood in the center, surrounded by admirers, her cheeks flushed, her small hands seemingly unsure of what to do, looking both nervous and shy.
But happiness was evident in every corner of her eyes and brows.
Huo Zhixing chuckled and took her small hand, placing the ring on her ring finger.
"Alright, get up now!" Jiang Can said with a smile, pulling him up. Huo Zhixing stood up and suddenly hugged her tightly.
Jiang Can blushed and leaned against his chest.
Bai Jingyuan was the most boisterous, waving his arms and legs and cheering, but after Yao Wanyin glanced at him, he immediately became quiet, scratching his head with a silly smile.
Yao Wanyin smiled too, and the two put their hands together, feeling the warmth of each other's palms.
At this moment, Lu Lishan walked through the crowd and applauded in congratulations.
"Brother Shan, you're here too!" Jiang Can nodded in greeting. "Where's Sister Yuqing?"
"Sigh, your sister Yuqing is a workaholic too, she's working overtime at the company right now!" Lu Lishan shook his head and smiled helplessly.
"Huo Zhixing, have the world changed? Women are all so capable now. Are we men really going to have to live off women?"
"It's delicious to be a kept man!" Huo Zhixing smirked, a sly glint in his eyes. He lifted Jiang Can's hand, the diamond ring sparkling brilliantly, a sight to behold.
"Look, I've already paid the deposit," Huo Zhixing said proudly. "From now on, my Cancan will be my long-term meal ticket!"
Lu Lishan scoffed, "That's quite a refined and elegant way of putting it!"
"Okay, let's talk about something more mundane."
Huo Zhixing's smile gradually froze, his eyes revealing a deep and complex depth that no one could fathom.
He became that cold and aloof man again, his aura even more intense than before, as if the entire venue was shrouded in a low-pressure atmosphere.
Nancy sensed something was wrong, but before she could pull Cheng Xuerou away, a deep voice called out to her.
"Miss Cheng, there are still some things we haven't made clear between us, aren't there?"
Cheng Xuerou froze, turned around blankly, and trembled involuntarily when she met his cold eyes.
Huo Zhixing looked at her coldly and said, word by word, "Just now, someone stopped my wife from entering and even dared to claim that she would be the future young mistress of the Huo family?"
"No!" Nancy exclaimed hurriedly, "Young Master, you've misunderstood, Xiao Rou, she..."
"I was asking her, not you!"
