Li Zhanting chuckled, "My godmother has already agreed, what else can I say?"
"Wow! That's great! Jiu Jiu has a godfather! And a super, super handsome one at that!" Mu Jiu Jiu's mood was like a rollercoaster ride. She cheered and jumped around Gu Mo Mo and Li Zhan Ting. Her lively and energetic appearance was completely different from her dejected state when she was squatting in the corner just now.
Li Zhanting and Gu Momo exchanged a smile, extremely pleased with their goddaughter.
Ye Hanjue, the jealous man, stood in the corner and saw his daughter's overjoyed expression after recognizing Li Zhanting as her godfather, and his face instantly fell.
These repeated calls of "godfather" felt like countless needles piercing Ye Hanjue's ears, yet he could only silently suffer in his heart.
Now look what's happened; comrades who were once in the same boat have instantly become enemies.
This underwater proposal was quickly reported by the media.
Of course, all of this stemmed from Li Zhanting's tacit approval.
For him, he had long been eager to announce to the entire capital and even the world that Gu Momo was his wife, Li Zhanting's wife, and that from today onwards, he was no longer alone.
Photos of Gu Momo taken by the media in the underwater tunnel quickly spread online. In the photos, she has a graceful figure, stands on the steps with her eyes slightly lowered, her fair and slender arms brushing against the stray hairs in front of her eyes, and her delicate features are on full display.
The photos went viral online as soon as they were released.
"This is like a fairy descending to earth! How can someone be so beautiful!"
Nuwa: Come out here, let's have a good talk. Were you drunk when you sculpted me?
"Her features, her face, her smooth shape, her figure—she's dozens of times better than many celebrities. It's such a shame she's not in the entertainment industry!"
"She's the young mistress of the Li family, how could she possibly enter the entertainment industry! Besides, with Miss Momo's status, isn't she a powerful figure behind the scenes in the entertainment industry? The entire entertainment industry is her people, why would she need to personally enter it?"
"Yeah, I just don't know if President Li will bring his wife and kids out to work more often in the future. Miss Momo is our goddess! If our goddess gets married, will we never see her again? Waaaaah..."
Before netizens could recover from Gu Momo's beautiful photos, a new set of marriage proposal videos began to be widely circulated online.
Although this is not the first time Li Zhanting has shown affection in public, this was once the grand proposal ceremony of the man that 300 million women in the capital dreamed of marrying!
When they clicked on the video and saw Li Zhanting kneeling on one knee and making a heartfelt confession to Gu Momo, all the feelings of heartbreak in their minds instantly turned into blessings, because they really couldn't think of anyone else in the world who could match Li Zhanting besides Gu Momo.
But when the camera cut to the engagement ring that Li Zhanting put on Gu Momo's finger, netizens instantly went wild—
"I thought someone of Mr. Li's status would use a pigeon egg diamond as an engagement ring!"
"Yeah, yeah, why is the ring in this video so plain? It doesn't suit the Li family's status at all! It looks no different from a silver ring worn by an ordinary person! Has President Ye suddenly wanted to go for a more frugal style after being used to luxury?"
When everyone saw how simple the engagement ring Li Zhanting gave Gu Momo was, many jealous people started stirring up trouble.
"Exactly! On the surface, it's all so grand and glamorous, a proposal ceremony in an underwater world, but the engagement ring they used is so cheap. If I were Gu Momo, I wouldn't have agreed either!"
Just when everyone was questioning whether the engagement ring Li Zhanting gave was worthless, an expert who specializes in collecting antiques posted a Weibo post that instantly became a trending topic.
"It's normal for ordinary people not to understand something so technical, but as an authoritative appraisal expert, I have to stand up and say something for Mr. Li. This plain ring, which you see as extremely ordinary, is actually an engagement ring given by Prince William I of Country C to his princess."
“About two thousand years ago, the ring was made from a mineral that was more expensive than diamonds. Even though there was only one in the world, Prince William still felt it wasn’t enough, so he spent three months finding Father James, the highest-ranking priest at the time, to pray for the ring and vow that the only love he would ever have was the Princess.”
"Just six months ago, this ring fetched a record-breaking price of 1.5 billion yuan at auction. Mr. Li chose this ring not only because it has greater collectible value than diamond rings measured by weight, but more importantly because of its meaning: the love of his life for one person. Don't you all understand how this expresses his feelings?"
After the expert analysis, netizens were enlightened and exclaimed that the romance of the wealthy is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"1.5 billion? My family probably couldn't have earned that much even if we started from ancient times."
"Look closely, those men and women who resent the rich. Their level is something you can never reach in your entire lives. Don't believe everything you hear."
"Master, now that you've said that, I wonder how many cunning men will lose their guard!"
The news of Li Zhanting's successful marriage proposal remained a trending topic online for three whole days. Old Master Li was all smiles, walking with a light step, so happy that he smiled at everything he saw.
To celebrate Li Zhanting's successful confession and to let people in the capital's elite circles know how much the Ye family values Momo, he decisively arranged a three-day banquet at the manor.
The banquet finally came to an end on the last day, and Gu Momo, who had been receiving guests for three consecutive days, was almost exhausted.
"The wedding isn't even here yet, and I already feel like I'm about to die from exhaustion." Mu Hanyan had helped out a lot these past few days, and when she finally had some free time, she collapsed on the sofa, looking like a walking corpse.
Gu Momo sat on the sofa, as if all her strength had been drained: "Heaven knows how painful it is to deal with so many people every day."
"Actually, if you think about it another way, Grandpa also wants everyone to know that the Li family approves of Momo," Mu Tingxue said weakly. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she sat up excitedly and suggested, "We haven't been able to have any fun by ourselves these past three days. How about we go out for dinner, karaoke, and a hot spring tonight?"
"The hot springs are so appealing!" Mu Hanyan raised her hand in agreement.
Gu Momo immediately agreed, "I think it's perfectly fine."
After both of them agreed to the suggestion, Mu Tingxue, who had made the suggestion, suddenly thought of a very thorny problem: "But what about those little ones?"
Half an hour later, Gu Jingxing was "assigned" to Mu Jiujiu. Under Gu Momo's coaxing and deception, he was forced to take Mu Jiujiu home.
