All the guests in the banquet hall were looking at the two people with great interest. Some of them were too far away to see clearly and simply stood up to watch.
Xia Xi's face flushed. Who could tell her that she had become the focus of the whole audience while she was nibbling on a duck's paw and was distracted?
She looked at Zhao Lei, who was laughing so hard that her eyes were narrowed into slits on the stage, tilted her head, and signaled her with her eyes to stop making trouble.
Zhao Lei hadn't been kidding when she'd said in the suite, "My wedding is my decision." She continued to speak louder and closer, her voice echoing through the microphone, echoing throughout the banquet hall. "Compared to my good sister, Xia Xi, how could I call myself 'bold'? She was the remarkable woman who wooed the most handsome man on campus at Nanjing University. The story was truly captivating. My dear sister, Ms. Xia Xi, are you interested in writing a finale for us?"
She is quite artistic...
Xia Xi knew that she couldn't rely on Zhao Lei, the traitor, and had to find a way out for herself. She looked at Xu Yanfeng and smiled generously: "Propose? Sure. Flowers alone are not enough, you need an engagement ring. Otherwise, I won't agree."
Zhao Lei was stunned for two seconds after hearing this. She thought that this was a rare opportunity and she couldn't miss it. She had to help Xu Yanfeng: "Senior, if you don't mind, I can lend you my wedding ring first."
There were also many enthusiastic guests at the scene who echoed the sentiment.
"I can lend you my ring!"
"We've been married for twenty years and haven't had a fight. I'll lend you my wedding ring!"
"If all else fails, let's just use a can pull ring instead and propose first!"
"No, cans? That's too old-fashioned. Young people nowadays don't like that. There's a jewelry store 50 meters to the left after leaving the hotel. There's still time to buy a ring! Otherwise, give me 200 yuan as a errand fee and I'll buy it for you!"
Xia Xi: “…”
Xu Yanfeng smiled, his eyes filled with the gentleness of spring, and said to Zhao Lei on the stage: "Thank you, but it's okay."
Zhao Lei stomped her foot, which was hidden by the hem of her wedding dress, and secretly said "tsk". Xu Yanfeng was too rude. This was such a good opportunity to propose...
Before she could finish her thought, she saw Xu Yanfeng stand up and, as if by magic, he took out a black square box from thin air. The box was obviously for the ring.
Zhao Lei was stunned. Not only her, but all the guests present were shocked by this scene, and they could hear gasps one after another.
"Wow, they come prepared!" Someone was the first to react and joked loudly.
This sentence is exactly what Xia Xi was thinking at this moment. Did Xu Yanfeng come prepared?
Did he collude with Zhao Lei?
Soon, Xia Xi denied his own guess. How could such a thing be planned in advance?
Unless Zhao Lei had some magic, how could the bouquet hit her head by such a coincidence?
Under the gaze of countless eyes, Xu Yanfeng opened the box in his hand. There was indeed a ring inside. A huge oval pink diamond firmly occupied the center, and white diamonds were inlaid around it like petals. Even the ring was inlaid with small diamonds, which was extremely gorgeous and eye-catching.
The banquet hall was already brightly lit, and the light reflected by the diamond ring was so bright that it almost blinded people.
Someone at the scene sighed: "Oh my god, I don't even dare to buy such big pieces of rock sugar. Is this real or fake..."
An insider responded: "Of course it's true. He's the CEO of a large group and has plenty of money."
Xia Xiren was dumbfounded. She stood up slowly, looking up at Xu Yanfeng's face, then down at the ring on his hand. She didn't know how to react, and her heart was beating so fast that she couldn't bear it.
Xu Yanfeng took her hand and leaned down slightly.
Guessing what he was going to do, Xia Xi's mind buzzed, and she quickly grabbed his arm, anxiously saying, "Don't kneel!"
Xu Yanfeng's movements were suppressed by her, so he did not kneel on one knee. He just put the ring on her finger without saying anything sentimental. He stared at her with eyes full of smiles: "I have the flowers and ring you mentioned. Do you want to agree?"
He hadn't planned to propose today, it was all a coincidence, but it was just right.
Maybe this is the reality. Many times, careful planning is not as good as a stroke of genius.
Xia Xi had the ring put on her finger without knowing what was going on. A large amount of heavy diamonds hung on her hand. She lowered her eyelashes. Until this moment, she still couldn't believe what had just happened and forgot to say yes.
Xu Yanfeng didn't mind and pulled her to sit down. After a long time, Xia Xi's face was still hot and her heart was still beating fast.
The bride on the stage was led away by her groom to the lounge to change into her wedding attire. The guests drank, chatted, and the sound of laughter and clinking cups mingled with the clapping of glasses, creating a lively atmosphere. Only Xia Xi seemed to be pulled into another world, a profound silence.
Xu Yanfeng picked up a duck paw and gave it to Xia Xi. He saw that she really enjoyed chewing it. Then, he leaned close to her ear and said, "Why are you still in a daze?"
Xia Xi's eyelids twitched, her mind still a little dizzy, as if in a dream. She lowered her head and looked at the diamond ring on her finger again. Her voice was rustling, not even her own: "When did you prepare this?"
Xu Yanfeng followed her gaze and looked at the ring.
How should he explain to her that he had prepared this ring a few years ago as a birthday present for her, but before he could give it to her, they separated. After that, the ring had been kept by him, put away in a cabinet, and never opened again.
When it was her birthday this year, they had not reconciled yet. A ring was too sensitive a gift and there was no reason to give it to her, so he chose another gift for her.
This morning, he took out the ring and wanted to find an opportunity to give it to her, so he put it in his trouser pocket. Unexpectedly, God seemed to have seen through his secret and deliberately gave him such a wonderful opportunity.
