"I'm not sure. My thoughts now are completely different from what they were three years ago, or even what they were a year ago!"
Gu Yue suddenly lay down on the table and said to Du Chen in a very disappointed tone.
She wasn't discouraged by the change of her mind or the influence of Du Chen, but rather by the fact that Du Chen was only a few days younger than her, so how could he be so mature? Every time Du Chen said a few words, her mind would change, and Du Chen made her doubt whether she was a fickle person.
"So don't be too full of yourself. Of course, drunken talk is different. After all, the wine has to be full!"
Du Chen said to Gu Yue with a smile.
"Tsk, Chenchen, do you know what I hate most about you?"
Gu Yue asked Du Chen in a slightly irritated manner.
"You still hate me?"
Du Chen pretended to be shocked and asked Gu Yue back.
"What I hate most is that you always look so serious and mature!"
Gu Yue complained about Du Chen.
"No way, I remember when we were little you always said I was so cute when I looked so serious!"
Du Chen refuted Gu Yue, causing Wang Luqi beside him to cover her mouth and laugh.
"Back then, that was back then! You were so cute then! But now, you're so annoying!"
Gu Yue's face flushed, obviously she still remembered what she said that year, but she said it without any mercy.
"Women are indeed fickle!"
Du Chen grumbled quietly, but Gu Yue and Wang Luqi, who were standing next to him on either side, naturally heard his grumbling clearly. They exchanged glances and, without prior agreement, simultaneously placed their hands on Du Chen's waist. Then, simultaneously, they exerted force: pinch, twist, pull, and release...
"hiss……"
Du Chen couldn't help but gasp. The two crazy women were moving in unison, but also a little too ruthless...
"Dear guests, dear friends and family, at today's engagement ceremony, I saw an extraordinary gift brought by the groom. Honestly, in all my years in this industry, this is the first time I've seen such a unique and meaningful gift. It conveys more than just material value; it conveys the unique romantic sentiment of our Chinese people. Now, please enjoy this unique gift together!"
Before he finished speaking, the host's voice suddenly rose, his emotions growing more intense. The mysterious gift he mentioned piqued the curiosity of the entire audience. Everyone's eyes turned to the center stage, eager to see what kind of treasure it was that could elicit such praise from the experienced host. At this moment, the Chinese people's natural love of joining in the fun was fully aroused, and it was difficult to suppress it.
Under everyone's gaze, the host carefully held an exquisite photo frame on the stage. A dazzling golden light shone within the frame, but from a distance, it was difficult to discern the secrets hidden within. Fortunately, the host was understanding and immediately began to read aloud.
"From now on, we are bound together in marriage, becoming a loving couple. The red string is tied early, and we will grow old together. Under the full moon and beautiful flowers, we will happily swim in the sea until the rocks crumble. We are a pair of mandarin ducks and make our first vow. We solemnly make this agreement.
Engaged
Du Bin Ding Miaomiao
The twenty-ninth day of the winter month of the Bingxu year.
As the host read the letter with passion and force, the atmosphere at the scene gradually became extremely warm, and people standing in the front could clearly see the engagement letter in the frame.
This engagement book is surprisingly cast entirely from pure gold! Its dazzling golden sheen is breathtaking. In the very center of the book, a large, almost invisible character for "囍" (囍) appears. This character is flanked by exquisite auspicious cloud patterns and dragon and phoenix motifs, which complement each other to form a perfect circle, tightly enveloping the character. These patterns are meticulously crafted using a subtle dark-grain technique. Only when the viewing angle is adjusted can these exquisite designs be clearly seen, exuding an air of dignity that is impossible to ignore.
The calligraphy on the marriage certificate is beautiful and neat, with every stroke neat and orderly. The most unique thing is that all the characters are similar to the relief carving technique, with each word raised, which makes the entire marriage certificate look more colorful and beautiful.
"Wow!"
The people in the front who were feasting their eyes couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and the people in the back who couldn't see clearly became even more curious.
Today's host, Comrade Lao Du, and Ren Surong looked at each other in confusion. Lao Ding and Jia Xiaomin were also confused. The four of them looked at each other again and instantly understood the meaning in each other's eyes.
"That brat Du Bin is really willing to give up!"
Old Ding couldn't help but say this with a sour tone, but his tone was full of satisfaction, because this marriage certificate was so honorable! If this matter got out today, it was estimated that his friends and children would not be able to avoid this pure gold marriage certificate when they got married, and it would definitely be mentioned frequently.
"Haha, for Miaomiao, these are all as they should be!"
Comrade Lao Du suspected that this idea was proposed by his second son, but does it matter now? It doesn’t matter. The most important thing is that everyone is happy!
Not to mention that Lao Du and his friends were chatting animatedly with the people around them with flushed faces, on the other side, Gu Yue and Wang Luqi finally saw the true appearance of the marriage certificate.
"Wow, this is so beautiful! I wish I could have a marriage certificate like this when I get engaged! This is so romantic and beautiful!"
Gu Yue couldn't help but praise it, and at the same time, her eyes sparkled as she looked at this special marriage certificate, tears streaming down her face. Wang Luqi also watched the marriage certificate leave her with sparkling eyes, her face full of longing...
Du Chen stared blankly at Gu Yue and Wang Luqi, their eyes sparkling. He couldn't discern their true feelings for a moment. Did they truly find the gift romantic? Or were they simply naturally drawn to shiny things?
"Chenchen, was this idea given by you?"
Gu Yue suddenly turned around and asked Du Chen curiously, while Wang Luqi also looked at Du Chen expectantly.
"It's not me. It has nothing to do with me! I just asked my brother if he liked Chinese or Western style. He said that he and Sister Miaomiao both liked Chinese style. I said, then why not make a marriage certificate? I originally thought of a marriage certificate made of rice paper or silk brocade, but I didn't expect my brother to want to make a big one himself, and then he went with me to ask the metalwork master..."
"Really? It really wasn't your idea?"
Gu Yue asked Du Chen suspiciously.
"It really wasn't my idea. If I had this idea, wouldn't I have brought it up with you when we went to the gold shop that day? Why would we have had to go to the gold shop again?"
Du Chen's words weren't entirely true. He was the one who proposed the marriage certificate. Du Bin had thought about rice paper and silk, and Du Chen casually suggested getting something gold. Du Bin actually took it seriously...
