On the day of the engagement banquet, all the prominent figures in the entire Southern Province came. Lin Ruanruan sat in an inconspicuous corner, watching the photo of the two of them on the big screen.
The photos above were taken by Lin Ruanruan in their daily lives. Huo Xian and Xuan Yuanhaocheng are undeniably good-looking and have great figures. Standing in front of the camera, they look like supermodels, exuding style and pleasing to the eye.
"As expected of me, your photography skills are really good." Lin Ruanruan smiled as she looked at the scene, resting her chin on her hand.
Wang Shao nudged Lin Ruanruan's arm. "Sister Ruan, stop looking and help us rank up!"
Ever since being introduced to Lin Ruanruan, Wang Shao has become addicted, and influenced by Fang Lan, he has also started calling Lin Ruanruan "Sister Ruanruan".
Lin Ruanruan glanced at Wang Shao helplessly, "Why don't you ask Zihao to play with you? He's really good."
Wang Shao looked pitifully at Li Zihao sitting next to Lin Ruanruan, "But he won't play with me. He said he won't play if you don't play. Sister Ruan, please have mercy on me."
Lin Ruanruan took out her camera and refused righteously, "No, I really can't play today. Today is an important day for Xianxian and my older brother. I have to go and reserve a spot to take pictures."
Wang Shao was puzzled. "Didn't we hire so many photographers? Isn't that enough? So many entertainment reporters from the Xuanyuan family came, and that wasn't enough?"
“That’s different. In their eyes, this is work, this is gossip. But for me, this is my spiritual nourishment.” Lin Ruanruan waved her hand, her eyes shining.
Li Zihao stood up. "Master Ruan Ruan, let's hurry up and go. It should be starting soon."
He also took out a camera. Ever since the last school sports meet, Li Zihao had also become interested in photography, and his mother was overjoyed when she found out.
They said he wasn't just a bookworm anymore, so they immediately bought him a full set of equipment.
The next day, he asked Lin Ruanruan to be his apprentice. In Li Zihao's heart, Ruanruan was his mentor, and a very talented one at that.
Lin Ruanruan led Li Zihao to a good spot to take pictures of Huo Xian and Xuan Yuanhaocheng. Huo Xian looked helplessly at the two of them mixed in with a group of entertainment reporters. These two were really something, dressed exceptionally low-key today.
Ruan Ruan wore a simple dress today, with a very understated jacket over it, and a beret on her head. She blended into the crowd like a sophisticated little reporter.
Li Zihao, who was following her, was no less impressive. He wore the glasses that Lin Ruanruan had modified for him, a simple white shirt and black pants, and matte leather shoes.
The two's low-key pairing really went unnoticed, probably because they are both socially awkward and know how to hide themselves.
Wang Shao stood outside the crowd, watching the two expressionlessly, secretly thinking that Lin Ruanruan was his lifelong rival.
After Lin Ruanruan and Li Zihao finished taking photos, it was time to eat. The two exchanged a glance and went straight to the VIP seats that Huo Xian had reserved for them. When they arrived, Fang Lan was chatting with Li Qin.
Upon seeing Lin Ruanruan arrive, he happily waved to her, "Ruanruan, come quickly! I've been waiting for you for so long!"
As soon as Lin Ruanruan sat down, she shared the photos she had taken with Fang Lan, "Fang Lan, Fang Lan, what do you think of my photos?"
Fang Lan looked at each one carefully and said, "Oh my, Director Lin, you did a great job."
Lin Ruanruan was amused by Fang Lan's address of "Director Lin," and said, "When I really become a director, I'll make you the male lead."
Fang Lan quickly shook her head, "No, I don't like being on camera. I'd rather be a game streamer, or even a screenwriter if that doesn't work."
“Okay, you write the script and I’ll direct,” Lin Ruanruan said seriously.
Li Zihao, who was standing nearby, quickly said, "Then give me a job as an assistant director."
Lin Ruanruan patted Li Zihao's shoulder generously, "Of course, following Sister Ruan means you'll live a life of luxury."
Li Qin looked at the group of children chatting and laughing and sighed helplessly. He was being ostracized.
When Fang Lan saw that Ruan Ruan was ignoring her, Li Qin's expression hardened, and he looked at the two of them with some hesitation. Could Fang Lan have feelings for Ruan Ruan?
What should he do then?
Just as Li Qin was catching the horse, he heard a commotion not far away, and he looked over.
The group of people who were chatting also looked up and looked towards the source of the commotion. They saw Huo Qi leading a charming woman to a seat, and the two seemed to be having a pleasant conversation.
Li Qin exclaimed, "Isn't that the boss's fiancée?"
Lin Ruanruan's mind went blank for a moment, and she looked at Li Qin, "How come I didn't know Brother Huo had a fiancée?"
Realizing his slip of the tongue, Li Qin quickly explained, "My ex-fiancée, my ex-fiancée, that girl is Guan Ya, the daughter of the richest man in the neighboring province. It seems they were also engaged when they were children, but the engagement was canceled when I was in junior high school."
"Oh~" Lin Ruanruan glanced cautiously in Huo Qi and Guan Ya's direction, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Just as she was about to turn her gaze back, she heard someone at the next table say, "Young Master Huo and Miss Guan are truly a perfect match. I heard they were even engaged before."
"That's great! They're both capable, and they look really good together. But I heard the engagement was called off?"
"Can't you just renew it if you cancel it? Look how attentive Young Master Huo was to Miss Guan today."
"Doesn't that mean good things are coming soon for the Huo and Guan families?"
Lin Ruanruan clutched her chest, feeling a tightness in her chest. She turned back and took a sip of her drink, "Sigh..."
Li Zihao looked puzzled. "Ruanruan, why are you sighing?"
Lin Ruanruan looked at Li Zihao and whispered, "My heart is so sour, it's even more sour than aged vinegar."
When Fang Si arrived with Li Xue'er, he saw Lin Ruanruan looking depressed. Fang Si touched his nose, wondering why he felt a little guilty whenever he saw his sister.
And they haven't spoken to me in ages. "What's wrong with my sister?"
Lin Ruanruan looked up and saw Fang Si and Li Xueer. "Hello, Brother Fang Si and Sister Xueer. I'm fine. I just accidentally spilled some vinegar on my way here."
Fang Si breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lin Ruanruan was finally willing to talk to him; he almost lost his little sister.
While feeling relieved, he didn't pay attention to what Lin Ruanruan was saying. He handed the box to Lin Ruanruan directly, saying, "These are pearls I bought on a business trip to an archipelago recently. You can take them and play with them, little sister."
Fang Lan took the bracelet directly from Fang Si's hand and opened it. "Oh my, it's a pink pearl bracelet, I'll put it on you."
Lin Ruanruan stretched out her hand, revealing a purple jade bracelet on her fair and plump wrist. Fang Lan helped her put it on. Lin Ruanruan stared blankly at the violet bracelet on her hand. It was a gift from Brother Huo, and because it was valuable, she usually kept it in the safe in her bedroom.
Because Xianxian is getting engaged today, she wore this bracelet and asked me to wear it too, so I took the bracelet out of the safe early this morning.
