In fact, the engagement banquet is relatively simple, with only three or four tables of family elders and guests from the bride's side, and the process is not that complicated. They invite the village chief to speak, then give you the betrothal gifts and other things, and finally the two of you toast, and then everything else is fine.
When Lu Wanwan heard about the toast, she felt a little overwhelmed. She was not a big drinker and it would not be good for the protagonist to get drunk on a day like this. "Gu Feng, I can't drink that much?" Lu Wanwan said quietly while pulling Gu Feng.
"It's okay. You drink water and I'll drink wine. Gu Lang will follow us when the time comes. If it really doesn't work, Gu Lang will block the wine for me. But there are not many people engaged, so it shouldn't be necessary."
"Don't worry, you won't get drunk on our wedding day. Just follow me. Mom will replace your wine with water in advance." Gu Feng comforted.
"So this is how it works." Lu Wanwan suddenly realized.
The next morning, Gu Feng put on a suit and took Gu Lang to pick up Lu Wanwan and Tang Xiaoxiao. They did not invite any friends to the engagement ceremony.
Lu Wanwan put on some simple makeup and put on a red fishtail skirt. The fishtail skirt showed off her figure very well, and her graceful figure made people want to take a few more glances.
"Wow, you look so beautiful that even I am fascinated by you, let alone Gu Feng, he will definitely be stunned." Tang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but praise her, she is so beautiful.
"That's not so exaggerated. Gu Feng is probably coming. Let's go."
As expected, as soon as the door opened, Gu Feng's eyes widened. He stared at Lu Wanwan without moving his eyes. He suddenly regretted holding this engagement party. How many people would see it? He was glad that he did not invite his friends, otherwise he would regret it to death. He would not let them see such a beautiful wife.
"I told you that Gu Feng would be stunned, but you didn't believe me. Do you believe it now?" Tang Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
Lu Wanwan looked at the dazed Gu Feng and ignored him. Was he here to pick her up? Seeing that she didn't move, she stood there in a daze, and she left without a second.
"Hey, cousin, come back to your senses. Your wife left on her own." Looking at him, Gu Lang was speechless. He shouldn't have followed him. It was embarrassing. His wife came but didn't say anything. She just stood there in a daze. No wonder she was angry.
"If you don't chase her, your wife will run away." Seeing Gu Feng's confused look, he was really angry. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't blame others if your wife ran away. It's your problem."
Gu Feng quickly ran over to chase his wife. His wife was angry and left. It was all his fault that he was so stunned by his wife. "Wanwan, don't be angry. You are so beautiful today. I was stunned. I was thinking about how to hide you from them and didn't react."
Seeing Gu Feng following, Tang Xiaoxiao quietly stepped back, creating some distance and leaving space for the two of them. This step brought her closer to Gu Lang, feeling both nervous and excited.
"Why, wasn't I beautiful before? Am I beautiful only today?" Lu Wanwan asked a fatal question.
"You are beautiful every day, and you are even more beautiful today." Gu Feng's desire to survive is obvious.
"Hmph." Lu Wanwan wasn't angry at first, she just wanted to tease him, chatting and laughing as they walked side by side. When the two of them got home, all the relatives came.
Witnessed by the village chief and elders, Gu's mother gave Lu Wanwan a betrothal gift of 666 yuan and a 500 yuan discount for three turns and one ring. Lu Wanwan handed the money to Gu Feng.
"Take it if it's given to you, why would you give it to me?" Lu Wanwan accepted it with a smile. This guy is so cunning.
After the village chief finished speaking, they started toasting. There were four tables in total, and the wine was finished in a short while. Gu's mother left some food for the two of them. Gu Feng was already drunk, and Lu Wanwan drank a bellyful of water and sat down to eat some food.
Gu Feng was already drunk, and after sending the relatives away, Lu Wanwan could only help him back to the house to rest.
"Cousin Gu Lang, can you help me send Xiaoxiao off? Gu Feng is drunk, and I have to stay and take care of him?" Lu Wanwan said embarrassedly.
"Wanwan, you don't have to send me off. I know him well. Do you think I'm a child?" Tang Xiaoxiao replied.
"Cousin, don't worry, I will carry you home safely." After Gu Lang left.
Gu's mother asked, "Wanwan, is there something wrong that made you send Gu Lang away?" Wanwan must have something to say to them and didn't want Gu Lang to hear it.
"Aunt, the thing is, I'm going to marry Gu Feng in a few days, and I'll move out then. I'm worried about leaving Xiaoxiao living alone. I'm afraid she'll be targeted by bad guys." Lu Wanwan told the truth.
"It's indeed unsafe for a little girl to live alone. If she is targeted by the village hooligans, she will definitely not be able to escape. How do you want me to help?" asked the village chief. He couldn't just hang around there all the time if he had nothing to do. It would have a bad influence.
"Should you ask your aunt to visit more often? But she still can't take good care of them." The village chief sighed.
"You can ask cousin Gu Lang to go and see them more often. That way, the villagers won't think they are in love. With you there, no one will bully her." Lu Wanwan said.
"But this may affect cousin Gu Lang's marriage proposal, and some things about them will also be spread. I want to discuss it with you first to see if you mind." Lu Wanwan explained the general idea.
The village head and his wife also understood, "We have no objection, but does Tang Zhiqing agree?" Gu Lang was also interested in her, and it would be good to have more contact with her and cultivate feelings.
"Since Wanwan asked us, Tang Zhiqing must have already told us that he agrees." The village chief is really smart, no wonder he is the village chief.
"If there is no problem, I will ask Gu Feng to ask cousin Gu Lang's opinion another day. We can't force my cousin to go. After all, this matter still has some consequences." Lu Wanwan is very sensible and must agree to it.
"We have no objection. Just find a time to visit Gu Lang and we won't interfere in his affairs." Maybe in a few days, he will be able to bring his daughter-in-law back to take care of her, which will solve his biggest worry.
But whether to go or not is up to Gu Lang to decide. Who knows what that stupid guy is thinking? He obviously likes her, but when they met today, he kept hiding and watching her from afar, and didn't even dare to talk to her.
I don't know what he thinks about asking him to take care of the child. Lu Wanwan is right. It depends on his own wishes. He may want to go but not dare to go, or he may just go because the situation warrants it. Don't worry about him. Let him take care of the child himself when he grows up. Why worry about him?
Gu Lang has never taken his eyes off Tang Xiaoxiao since he saw her. He was afraid of being discovered, so he kept hiding and watching from afar. When he heard Lu Wanwan asking him to send Tang Xiaoxiao off, he quickly agreed. Now he had a reason to get close to Tang Zhiqing. He usually watched her from afar.
Gu Lang thought that he had kept it a secret and no one knew about it, but he didn't expect that everyone knew about it and was secretly trying to bring them together. Even the people involved knew about it and were still cooperating with everyone to bring them together.
"Wanwan, go see Gu Feng. If you're tired, take a rest. When Gu Feng wakes up, ask him to take you home after dinner." said Gu's mother.
"Okay, I'll go in and see him." Looking at the sleeping Gu Feng, he frowned and smoothed his frown. Lu Wanwan also fell asleep beside him. When Gu Feng woke up, he saw Lu Wanwan sleeping beside him, looking like life was peaceful.
