Chapter 174 Fei'er's Engagement Party
The weekend engagement party was held at a lakeside manor hotel on the outskirts of the city. The May breeze blew across the lake, and Su Nian walked into the banquet hall holding Si Yan's arm.
The crystal chandelier reflected fragmented light, and a photo of Fei'er and Liu Zhihao was hung on the archway wrapped with vines. In the photo, the girl had smiling eyes and the boy was bending down to adjust her veil, exactly the same as the two people in the center of the banquet hall at this moment.
"Niannian! Professor Si!" Fei'er was wearing an ivory-white wedding dress with tiny pearls embroidered on the hem. It was the one designed by Liu Zhihao himself.
She broke free from Liu Zhihao's hand, and hurried towards the two of them, her skirt in hand. The blush on her face was brighter than the rouge in her makeup, and she almost tripped over her wedding dress. Fortunately, Liu Zhihao was quick to catch her waist and said helplessly, "Grandfather, are you planning to perform the 'bride falling flat on her face' show at the engagement party? My dress can't withstand any re-creation."
Fei'er slapped his hand away: "What do you care! I'm just excited!" She turned around and shook Su Nian's hand, "Look at this wedding dress! Zhihao stayed up all night embroidering it!"
Su Nian reached out and gently touched the cuff of her wedding dress, her eyes full of admiration: "With Mr. Zhihao's craftsmanship, it would be a loss to the fashion industry if he didn't open a high-end studio!"
Liu Zhihao came over with two glasses of champagne. He smiled and handed the glasses to Si Yan: "Just to make her happy."
He looked at Fei'er with eyes so soft they could drip with tears. "At first she said she wanted to wear something special for the engagement party—but seeing her silly smile when she tried it on, it was worth it!"
Si Yan took the champagne and gently touched Liu Zhihao's glass: "Congratulations, Zhihao!"
Su Nian caught a glimpse of Fei'er's parents waving at her from a distance, and quickly pulled Si Yan over: "Hello, uncle and aunt! This is my husband, Si Yan."
Si Yan politely greeted him. Fei'er's mother looked him up and down, wondering, "How does this look like the 'old professor' my daughter described? He's clearly 'a man of both good looks and talent, with a temperament as radiant as autumn water'!"
She smiled and said, "Professor Si is young and handsome, and he and Nian Nian are a perfect match. We've seen the baby's photos, and they're very cute. Congratulations!"
Si Yan raised the corner of his mouth, finally clearing the "old professor" of his grievances: "Auntie, thank you for the compliment!"
Fei'er's father also stepped forward to shake her hand. "Professor Si, I always hear Fei'er talk about you. You've been a great help to her academically. Thank you so much!"
"Fei'er is a good student who works hard and makes progress!" Si Yan unconsciously put on a professorial air.
At this time, Fei'er's parents introduced Liu Zhihao's parents to the two of them.
Since Zhang Minghua had taken the pulse of the two elders, he couldn't help but go through some polite formalities.
At this time, the host began to invite guests to come on stage to share their blessings. Su Nian nudged Si Yan and said, "You are Fei'er's professor. Why don't you go up and say a few words?"
Si Yan shook his head and led her forward: "You should go. You have a good relationship with Fei'er, so what you say will definitely be more considerate."
When Su Nian went on stage and took the microphone, she caught a glimpse of Si Yan holding his cell phone and looking at her from the audience. The smile on the corner of his mouth was so gentle that it could squeeze water out of it.
She gathered herself, looked at the perfect couple on the stage, her voice filled with sincerity, "Fei'er used to always complain to me that she couldn't find anyone who could understand her, and that she might end up alone with her stuffed animals. At the time, I even advised her not to worry, because maybe your Mr. Right is somewhere, sewing in one hand and drawing a blueprint in the other, rushing to make you a wedding dress!"
The audience burst into laughter, Fei'er's face turned red, and she reached out as if to hit her.
Su Nian quickly waved her hands: "Don't hit me! I haven't finished yet! It wasn't until Teacher Zhihao showed up that I realized there are people who actually consider your preferences the most important thing!"
She paused, then turned to look at Si Yan in the audience, her eyes shining like stars: "Just like the person next to me, although he can't design a dress, he will remember the warm milk I drink every day, and will quietly cut the fruit and put it on the table when I stay up late to work.
There's no standard answer to love. Some express affection through haute couture, while others portray romance through fruit cutting. With the right person, even counting stars together can bring out sweetness. Finally, congratulations to my bestie, she's finally found the love of her life!
As soon as she finished speaking, the audience burst into applause, and Fei'er rushed over with red eyes to hug her.
Zhong Jie and Fang Xia walked up to Si Yan and said with a smile, "Professor Si, it would be a shame if your daughter didn't do a stand-up comedy show with her eloquence."
Si Yan looked at the two people hugging each other on the stage and smiled as if he owned the whole world.
Wu Yichen nudged Li Yue with his arm. "Sister Yue, aren't you tempted by this scene full of sugar? In my opinion, just give in to me?!"
"Think about it!" Li Yue said stubbornly, but she was a little vulnerable in her heart - the person she had a crush on was already engaged, so did she get the wrong script of happiness?
Maybe it's really as Su Nian said, the person who regards your hobbies as a lifelong subject may have been squatting next to you for a long time!
Qin Chuan looked at his good friend Wu Yichen who was determined to hang himself on Li Yue's tree, shook his head, and quietly drifted away from the pair of enemies, determined to withdraw from the "front line of breaking up CP" from now on.
He can only help up to this point. If this buddy fails, it’s not his fault!
After attending this romantic engagement party, Su Nian devoted herself to work again.
As June arrived, the temperature in Jiangcheng soared as if the fast-forward button had been pressed. The midday sun baked the asphalt road so hot that you could fry eggs on it. Even the wind brought a heat wave that made people feel sticky all over.
Su Hong watched her daughter Su Nian rush home from work to feed the baby under the scorching sun every noon, and then rush back in a hurry. She was so distressed that she kept muttering, "This is not parenting, it's pure torture!"
After discussing with Sister Wang, we decided to take Baoer to the company during the day to save both the adults and the children from suffering.
It's his own company, so the boss should have no objection - more than that, Chen Ran was very happy about this!
He immediately made the decision to clean up the unused small room on the top floor of the company and transform it into an exclusive nursery, stocking it with more cribs, rocking chairs, and diapers than he had at home.
It is so convenient to look after my grandson this way. After work, I can hold my baby and babble to him. I feel so proud, as if I had won the first prize in the lottery.
After feeding the baby at noon, Su Nian would sometimes simply carry Baoer downstairs to the design department for a walk.
As soon as the colleagues saw this little meat ball, they instantly lost their composure - the three-month-old Baoer was as white as a freshly peeled egg, with round eyes and a chubby little face. Everyone who saw him wanted to pinch him.
"Oh, this little baby is growing up so fast!"
"Su Nian, you are so good at giving birth. This baby has inherited the best qualities of both of you!"
A group of people surrounded Bao'er and chattered in a flurry, trying to hold him in their arms but afraid of hurting him with too much force. They were so cautious, as if they were holding a rare treasure.
It was finally Lan Ting's turn to hold Baoer. The little guy leaned softly in her arms, moved his little hands, and grinned at her. Lan Ting's heart melted instantly, and she held him tightly and was reluctant to let go.
After returning Bao'er to Su Nian and returning to the director's office, she thought seriously: I'm not even forty yet, I wonder if it's too late for me to work hard now?
By the way, Director Lan, you should at least find a boyfriend first!
