Luo Xiu looked at the bracelet on Lu Zhiwei's wrist, took her hand and held it in his palm, pulling her to his side: "You amazed me today."
Lu Zhiwei looked at him with disdain: "Aren't you curious why I would come to fulfill my exchange with you when Wuyan is out of danger?"
Luo Xiu's bright blue eyes were filled with an irrepressible smile: "Because you have always kept your promises."
"Then you're very wrong. People change. The Lu Zhiwei of the past might have kept her word for you, but that's not necessarily true now." Lu Zhiwei smiled gently, her long, cicada-wing-like eyelashes fluttering.
Luo Xiu couldn't figure out what she was thinking.
He held her hand tightly, unwilling to let go for even a moment.
"As long as you're here, that's enough."
No matter what tricks she tries, as long as he holds her hand, they are engaged, and they are receiving everyone's blessings.
He was content.
After the host finished the ceremony, the final step was exchanging engagement rings.
The emcee approached them carrying a ring box.
Lu Zhiwei glanced at the guest seats.
The old man of the Luo family was chatting with the governor with a smile on his face.
Clearly, the old man was very satisfied with this marriage and earnestly hoped that the engagement would go smoothly.
The governor, for the sake of his daughter, went along with the pretense.
Two burly bodyguards stood next to Lu Anyu, who was sitting at the table with the children.
These two bodyguards were specially selected by Lu Zhiwei to protect Lu Anyu's safety.
She has important business to attend to today and needs her son's cooperation; his safety must be guaranteed first.
Standing next to Ruixi, who was seated at the same table as Lu Anyu, was her personal maid, Angel.
Ever since she caused Lu Anyu's kidnapping, Ruixi hasn't dared to speak to Lu Anyu for a long time.
He looked at the toy water gun in Lu Anyu's hand and asked curiously, "Brother An'an, why did you bring a water gun in?"
"This is a new toy my mom bought for me, it's so much fun!" Lu Anyu carefully held the water gun in his hands, never letting go of it for a moment.
"Can I borrow it to play with?" Mizuki asked.
“No.” Lu Anyu shook his head.
“Oh. Okay then.” Mizuki lowered her head.
In the past, An'an's older brother was always very generous to him. Whenever he asked for something, he would find a way to give it to him.
Now... things seem different.
"Where did Aunt Lu go? Didn't she come with you?" Ruixi looked around but couldn't find Lu Zhiwei. She turned her head and searched around.
Logically speaking, Aunt Lu wouldn't let Lu Anyu come alone on such an important occasion.
"You'll see her soon. I'll perform a magic trick to bring her to life," Lu Anyu said with a grin. His soft, fair face was adorned with two particularly beautiful dimples when he smiled.
Luo Xiu took the engagement ring out of the ring box, took Lu Zhiwei's slender, fair hand, and prepared to put the ring on the middle finger of her left hand.
“This ring was custom-made to your size. Once you put it on, it’s yours,” Luo Xiu said softly to Lu Zhiwei.
Lu Zhiwei remained absent-minded, her gaze fixed intently on the audience below.
The moment the ring slipped onto her finger.
As if a key skill had been triggered, Lu Anyu carried the water gun through the banquet tables, ran all the way to the ceremonial platform, and leaped up the stairs.
The little guy was too fast; the Luo family's bodyguards didn't even have time to react.
Standing on the stage, Lu Anyu looked just like a little superhero.
"An'an? Are you here to wish us well?" Luo Xiu smiled as he held the ring in his hand.
He guessed that Lu Zhiwei would not tell Lu Anyu her current identity.
Lu Anyu disliked him and would never allow his mother to get engaged to him.
"Um, Uncle Shen, I want to give you an engagement gift. Would you and Aunt Yuli please close your eyes?"
The audience was filled with distinguished guests, and the engagement ceremony was broadcast live on the media.
He couldn't possibly have his bodyguards throw Lu Anyu off the stage in front of everyone.
"Okay." Luo Xiu obediently closed his eyes.
Lu Zhiwei looked at her son, their eyes meeting in the air for a few seconds.
Like Luo Xiu, Lu Zhiwei closed her eyes.
Lu Anyu, carrying a water gun, sprayed water at Lu Zhiwei's face.
"Where did this brat come from? He's really audacious."
Among the guests in the audience, the governor was the first to stand up.
Because the person who was sprayed with water was his beloved daughter.
How can we tolerate a child causing trouble on such a solemn occasion?
Luo Xiu, who had been splashed with water, slowly opened his eyes.
Lu Anyu seized the opportunity and desperately shot water at Luo Xiu.
"You bad uncle, I'll spray you to death, spray you to death!"
The bodyguards rushed onto the stage to grab Lu Anyu.
Lu Anyu sprayed water as he fled.
The ceremony stage was thrown into chaos, with elaborate decorations being kicked and knocked over.
Luo Xiu wiped the water off his face, his gloomy expression burning with anger.
"Everyone, look at President Luo's fiancée's face."
"Is your makeup smudged?"
"What fell off your face? Was it a prosthesis?"
While everyone's attention was still focused on Lu Anyu, who had turned the engagement party into a chaotic mess.
Someone noticed that "Yuri" next to Luo Xiu was visibly losing her makeup.
She deliberately used non-waterproof materials today so that her makeup would melt if it got wet.
Clearly, Lu Zhiwei was not satisfied with the current rate at which her makeup was fading.
She vigorously rubbed the makeup off her face with her hands.
Large chunks of implants and makeup fell off and spread, gradually revealing the original face.
