Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
These past two days have been the busiest time for Gu Fan and Jiang Yumeng.
They were busy setting up the engagement ceremony.
The engagement ceremony was not publicized; it was simply held at their own home.
The festive atmosphere was filled with various gifts, stacks of bright red cash, and gleaming gold jewelry.
Gu Fan and Jiang Yumeng were both wearing traditional Chinese wedding attire. Gu Fan was already very handsome, and after putting on the dress, he looked even more dashing.
Jiang Yumeng wore a Chinese-style dress, somewhat similar to a cheongsam, which fit her perfectly, highlighting her curves. Under the cheongsam, her skin was as white and delicate as jade, and her features were exquisitely made up by a professional makeup artist, making her look like a fairy who had stepped out of a painting.
The family took a group photo.
Old Jiang's eyes welled up with tears as he looked at his beautiful daughter.
After raising her to this age, my daughter will eventually have to get married.
"Why are you being so sentimental on such a wonderful day?"
Sister Lin couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder.
Old Jiang looked aggrieved: "I just can't bear to part with my daughter."
Old Gu, also dressed in a formal suit, agreed, saying, "I understand Old Jiang's feelings. If my daughter were to get married, I would also feel reluctant."
The two elderly fathers looked at each other, as if they had found kindred spirits.
Neither Sister Lin nor Aunt Gu knew what to say, and just let the two of them feel wronged.
Gu Fan looked at the girl in front of him and a gentle smile appeared on his lips: "Mengmeng, I'm so happy to be your fiancé. I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"
Jiang Yumeng's eyes welled up with tears: "Yes, Mengmeng too. From today onwards, Mengmeng is your fiancée, brother. You can't let me down in the future."
Gu Fan said firmly, "Of course not, I will always be good to you. I will love you for as long as this life is! No, I will still be your partner in the next life!"
Jiang Yumeng couldn't resist these sweet words, and tears of emotion and happiness streamed down her face.
"Brother~"
Gu Fan gently pulled her into his arms and patted her back softly.
This scene brought a sense of satisfaction to Lao Jiang and the others.
"This kid's got a whole repertoire of sweet talk; did he inherit it from you?"
Mrs. Gu couldn't help but glance at Mr. Gu.
The latter's lips twitched: "Don't be like that, I'm not as successful as our son."
"Yeah, you always make me angry, and I never even try to appease you."
"..."
His few words made everyone in the room laugh.
The atmosphere became cheerful.
Sister Lin looked at Gu Fan and said, "Xiao Fan, you two can exchange rings now."
Gu Fan nodded, then picked up a white box from the table next to him.
He looked at the girl and smiled, "I chose this wedding ring myself, and I hope that on our wedding day, I can also put it on your finger myself."
The ring box has the DR logo on it.
I will only love one person in my life!
Jiang Yumeng's eyes seemed to overflow with tenderness, and she nodded her little head heavily: "Mmm!"
She extended her slender, jade-like fingers, and Gu Fan gently took her hand, slipping the ring onto her finger.
Finally, Jiang Yumeng also picked up the man's ring and personally put it on Gu Fan's finger.
Bang!
Fireworks lit up the sky, officially concluding the engagement ceremony.
That evening, the two families had a warm and cozy meal together.
The men drank together in a relaxed atmosphere.
Sister Lin couldn't help but say, "A little wine is good for the soul, but don't drink too much!"
Whether Old Jiang was doing it on purpose or was genuinely drunk, he glared at Sister Lin and said, "Why do you care so much? We're happy today! Of course, we're not leaving until we're drunk!"
Sister Lin's eyes widened.
Old Jiang, you've really made something of yourself! You actually dared to yell at me?!
Just as she was about to speak, Old Jiang frowned and said, "Woman, get out of here! We men are having a good time drinking, don't bother me!"
Even the slightly tipsy Old Gu widened his eyes and gave a thumbs up with admiration: "Brother Jiang, you're so tough, awesome!"
Old Jiang immediately revealed a smug smile: "Hehe, what's so special about that? Let me tell you the truth, at home, I'm the head of the household! The husband's authority has been restored!"
Sister Lin clenched her fists silently.
Old Gu was about to say a few more words of praise when his mother quickly said, "Old Gu, you've had too much to drink. Eat something!"
Old Gu glanced at his mother and said, "Wife, I'm not drunk yet. I have to drink a few tonight. I'm so happy that our son is engaged to Xiaomeng!"
Mrs. Gu's lips twitched: "That's enough, she's happy enough!"
"Shut up! Women shouldn't interrupt when men are drinking!"
Old Gu suddenly frowned and shouted.
Mrs. Gu was stunned for a moment. She never expected her usually honest and kind husband to be so tough.
Old Jiang sighed, "Brother Gu, you're quite something, reaching this level of status!"
He gave a thumbs-up as he spoke.
Old Gu was a little flattered by the praise, and waved his hand: "Not at all, I handled it all well, okay?"
Mother Gu's fist hardened.
She and Sister Lin exchanged a glance and nodded as if they were on the same wavelength.
Alright, alright, you've finally lived to see the end!
Jiang Yumeng watched this scene silently, not daring to interrupt.
The conflict between her parents had gone too far, and she didn't want to get caught in the crossfire.
"Gu Fan! Come on! Have a couple of drinks too!"
Gu Fan had no reason to refuse, so he nodded and drank with his father and father-in-law.
Jiang Yumeng gently tugged at his clothes and whispered, "Drink less!"
Gu Fan nodded: "Don't worry, I won't get drunk."
