After being forced to stay in a beauty salon for half a month by Xiao Qi's father and Li's mother, which led to the unscrupulous media making a fuss about "two CEOs having plastic surgery for love", Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng finally made it to the engagement ceremony.
The engagement ceremony was also a chaotic day. Li Xiaoheng was better off, but Tao Mu was woken up by Mr. Song at four o'clock in the morning. According to the ancestral precepts of the Song family, the male members of the family must personally cook a happy marriage soup for their wives on the wedding day. It means that the couple will live happily together until old age.
According to Mr. Song, the engagement ceremony is not a wedding, so Tao Mu doesn't need to cook the soup himself. But Tao Mu was familiar with the Song family precepts and regarded this engagement ceremony as very important. So I insisted on getting up early and making soup. Mr. Song couldn't persuade his grandson, so of course he wanted to see the Song family motto be carried forward in Tao Mu's hands. So Tao Mu was woken up early that morning. @
The so-called "Happiness for a Hundred Years" soup is actually lily, wolfberry and black chicken soup. Use a casserole to simmer the chicken slowly until it is tender. The chicken soup is shiny and has the fragrance of lotus seeds and lilies. It can clear the mind and remove dryness, replenish the middle and benefit the Qi, moisturize the skin and prevent aging, and also nourish the brain. It can be said to be a must-have tonic for the women in the Song family's backyard. Of course, it is also very suitable for old men like Li Xiaoheng who are getting older and often have to work overtime in front of computer screens.
Because time is precious, Tao Mu had to stare at the stew while asking the makeup artist to help him with his makeup and styling. As the owner of the most promising film and television company in the Chinese entertainment industry, Tao Mu's makeup artist team is of course the best in the country. He had previously tailored several classic looks for the male and female protagonists of "Fashion Storm", and was later signed to a film and television company by Tao Mu. I have also seen big scenes.
However, even the most experienced makeup artist has never seen someone doing makeup while making soup on the day of an engagement ceremony. The camera team of Feixun.com followed the entire process and also felt that the Song family’s motto was particularly worth mentioning.
"Who wouldn't want to marry a man who is handsome, rich, and good at both housework and housework?" The employees of Feixun.com sighed for the Nth time, thinking that Mr. Li from Xiaoheng Capital was so lucky to be able to pursue their boss.
Mr. Li, who was particularly lucky, was so excited that he did not sleep all night. He tossed and turned until the next morning. His skin, which he had worked so hard to maintain to be whiter, was now paired with two big dark circles under his eyes, making him look like a transformed panda.
"What does it mean that a panda has become a spirit? In my brother Mu's heart, our eldest brother is definitely more precious than the national treasure." The younger sister of the Li family looked at her eldest brother who was being pressed by Li's mother in front of the dressing table and putting on makeup obediently, and joked with a smile.
As soon as these words were spoken, all members of the Li family laughed out loud. It's quite a relief to think that "the eldest son and grandson who have been holding the goods for a long time have finally cleared out the inventory."
The second brother Li was particularly impatient and tugged at the sleeve of Li Xiaoheng's dress, and said with a smile: "I think the eldest brother looks very handsome in the bright red wedding dress."
Because of Mr. Song’s suggestion, the two children’s engagement ceremony was finally decided to be a Chinese style one. So on the day of the engagement ceremony, Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng would both enter the scene wearing bright red wedding attire. Since graduating from high school, we haven't seen our eldest brother wearing anything other than a suit. Now, when we suddenly see him wearing a traditional groom's suit, everyone finds it very novel.
Li Xiaoheng, who has always been taciturn, was even more speechless when surrounded by his whole family. Fortunately, this kind of onlookers didn’t last long. Following the time, the two families rushed to the engagement ceremony together.
The engagement ceremony was held at a five-star hotel under the Fengxing Group. In fact, according to the Li family's idea, since they knew Mr. Song's knot, they had proposed to hold the engagement ceremony at Song's.
However, Mr. Song declined. He could understand the good intentions of the Li family, but for practical reasons, the two families had too many guests to invite, and there were also security issues to consider. The Song family's courtyard was not actually suitable for a wedding venue. Besides, the Li family has agreed that all procedures of the engagement ceremony should be conducted according to the Song family's rules. Mr. Song wanted to return the favor and bring honor to the Li family. So since the format of the engagement ceremony is in accordance with the Tao family's idea, it is fair to choose the Li family's hotel as the venue.
At 11:58 am, the engagement ceremony officially began.
A bright red carpet was laid from the hotel entrance all the way to the engagement ceremony site. The originally luxurious European-style banquet hall has been redecorated in an antique style. The guests of the two families sat on the left and right sides respectively - the ones on the left were mostly Tao Mu's relatives and friends, friends in the entertainment industry, and some partners who were connected with Feixun.com. It's a star-studded event with many big names gathered. It is comparable to the Golden Crow Awards ceremony. On the right are mostly old friends and business allies of the Li family, and almost every one of them has been featured in financial magazines.
The big stars sitting in the friends and relatives seat of Tao Mu whispered: "...Why do I suddenly have the illusion of attending a film crew investment conference? It feels like the people sitting opposite are investors, advertisers and organizers."
Old friends sitting in the Li family's relatives and friends' seats also sighed: "...It's like attending a film festival awards ceremony. Zhou Yanqing and Fang Ruoti's group of Hong Kong stars are here too. My daughter likes Zhou Yanqing very much. What do you think about me going over to get an autograph later?"
The Li family members and Tao family elders sitting in the relatives' seats were grinning from ear to ear. Grandpa Li proudly bowed to Grandpa Song and said, "Congratulations, in-laws."
Mr. Song also smiled and returned the greeting: "Congratulations."
Mother Li held the hand of Xiao Qi's father and sighed, "My son is useless. He was so excited that he couldn't sleep last night. When he woke up this morning, he had big dark circles under his eyes. Our efforts for more than half a month have been wasted."
Meng Qi smiled and said, "It's okay. Xiao Mu got up very early today. He made soup for Xiao Heng. It's a hundred-year-old happy marriage soup, good for beauty and skin care."
He then said, "Mother-in-law, you can rest assured and leave your son to Xiao Mu. Although our Xiao Mu is young, he is very caring and will definitely treat Xiao Heng well."
Mother Li always smiles: "I am confident in Xiao Mu's character. You can rest assured, my dear, that Xiao Heng will treat Xiao Mu well."
The casual conversation between the two elders was heard by the guests sitting at the nearby tables, who were listening attentively. The group of people stared with their eyes wide open in disbelief. I never expected that Li Xiaoheng, who looked old-fashioned and serious, was actually the one below.
No wonder the seats for Li family’s relatives and friends at the engagement ceremony were arranged on the right! Fortunately, the old man of the Li family had boasted that Li Xiaoheng was capable this time and could actually marry such a good granddaughter-in-law like Tao Mu home. Now it seems that the eldest grandson of the Li family is indeed capable. But it’s not the ability to marry a wife, but the ability to find a husband!
Tao Mu's celebrity relatives and friends also followed suit and winked. Li Xiaoheng often came to visit Tao Mu when he was filming before, and they had all seen the interaction between Li Xiaoheng and Tao Mu. At that time, everyone thought that Li Xiaoheng was the one on top. I really didn’t expect it...it seems that Mr. Tao is worthy of being Mr. Tao!
I didn't know that the casual chat between the two parents would lead to such a big misunderstanding. Tao Mu stood in the waiting room with a serious expression. My palms were sweating from nervousness. Li Xiaoheng, who was standing next to him and was also very nervous, was keenly aware of her young fiance's emotions. He reached out and quietly wrapped his hand around Tao Mu's palm, and asked in a gentle voice, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay!" Tao Mu shook his head slightly. Under the wide hem of his clothes, his fingers were clasped with Li Xiaoheng's, palms against palms, and he whispered, "I'm a little scared."
I don't know what happened. Tao Mu was very calm when she was making soup and putting on makeup. She was also very calm when she walked all the way here. As soon as she entered the hotel, her heart was pounding very hard. Now standing in the waiting room, she was so nervous that her legs were weak and she didn't dare to take a step.
"Me too." Li Xiaoheng squeezed Tao Mu's hand tightly and responded, "But I'm not afraid when I see you. Because I know that no matter what the future holds, you will be by my side."
As long as you are with me, I am not afraid even if the future is unknown.
Tao Mu turned his head to look at Li Xiaoheng, feeling the warmth in Li Xiaoheng's palm and his firm gaze, and suddenly smiled.
"You're right." Tao Mu nodded and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid anymore."
Inside the banquet hall, the MC shouted, "...Next, let us invite the two grooms to come on stage."
Under the wide robe, Li Xiaoheng scratched Tao Mu's palm with his little finger. They both took a deep breath at the same time, and under the concerned and blessing eyes of all their relatives and friends, they walked out of the slightly dim waiting room and stepped into the banquet hall step by step.
Behind the two people, the black shadow was stretched a little bit, and then merged into one. With the light shining down from overhead, it moves slowly following its owner. At that moment, it seemed as if the shadow that had been imprisoned for so long finally broke free from fate and moved towards a new life.
