When Xiao Gengwu saw Yao Tongjia wearing the dress made by Yao Yanxin, he couldn't hide the amazement in his eyes.
The stunning feature of this dress lies in its details. The clever use of elements such as lace, sequins, and bows adds endless romance and tenderness.
Under the lights, Yao Tongjia looked so charming that she captivated everyone's gaze and stirred their hearts.
At this moment, Xiao Gengwu's heart was burning with unprecedented passion. He squeezed his hands in his pockets, and sweat appeared on his palms.
Yao Tongjia was unaware of Xiao Gengwu's nervousness. This was the first time she had ever eaten Western food in all her years in this world, and she couldn't help but feel a little excited.
She and Xiao Gengwu sat at opposite ends of the table. Yao Tongjia was worried that Xiao Gengwu wouldn't know how to eat Western food, so she picked up a knife and fork and demonstrated for him. Xiao Gengwu quickly cut the food quite skillfully.
He even very gentlemanly handed the beef he had cut to Yao Tongjia, which made Yao Tongjia feel a sweet warmth in her heart. She accepted the beef.
She stretched her feet toward Xiao Gengwu's feet, and Xiao Gengwu, with a smile in his eyes, used his own feet to encircle Yao Tongjia's feet inside his own.
Such a simple gesture made the two of them feel incredibly sweet. They had known each other for many years, but they had spent far too little time alone together.
Every day, there are people surrounding my home. Even when I'm not surrounded by family, I have bodyguards following me. Especially in the last two years, they've all been busy with their own things. Although we see each other every day, I always feel like something is missing.
Sometimes Yao Tongjia even wondered if the two of them were really in love. It seemed that there was no sweetness like what she saw on TV in later generations, nor the intense emotions she read about in books.
Today, Yao Tongjia finally experienced the feeling of being moved, a feeling that was both sweet and sour! Could a candlelight dinner really bring two people closer together?
Or will a chemical reaction occur? Before Yao Tongjia could finish her thought, Xiao Gengwu forked a piece of beef and held it to Yao Tongjia's mouth. Yao Tongjia ate the beef in one bite, inevitably getting tomato sauce on the corner of her mouth.
Xiao Gengwu's eyes darkened for a moment. He stood up, walked to Yao Tongjia's side, hooked his arm around her neck, and swallowed all the ketchup.
Then he took a deep, heavy breath on Yao Tongjia's lips, which made Yao Tongjia tremble all over, and an indescribable feeling welled up in her heart.
The kiss seemed unstoppable, lasting until both were breathless before they finally let go, their lips swollen and red, before reluctantly separating.
The two of them then pulled their chairs together and sat down, holding hands tightly. I fed you a bite, and you scooped a spoonful of cake for me.
It was incredibly sticky; this candlelight dinner took an hour and a half to finish, and there was still a mashed potato left uneaten.
As Yao Tongjia ate, taking small bites, her spoon suddenly stirred up something hard. Her heart pounded, and she dug out a corner of it to examine it.
It really was a ring, a diamond ring that shimmered with a silvery-white luster. She looked at Xiao Gengwu with eyes full of surprise.
Then, after digging the ring out of the mashed potatoes, just as he was wondering where to put it, Xiao Gengwu reached out and took the ring, then went to the kitchen to get water and washed it clean.
He wiped the handkerchief clean, held it in front of Yao Tongjia, and knelt on one knee: "Tongtong, I love you, please marry me?"
Yao Tongjia felt a pang of sadness, as if something was about to burst from her eyes. Of course, she knew what this scene was like.
This is a classic scene from an idol drama, but when she saw it at the time, she only felt it was extremely tacky.
Seeing the female lead tearfully put on a ring, I could only sigh that it was acting. In real life, who cries?!
But at this moment, Yao Tongjia's eyes could no longer hold back the tears, which streamed down her cheeks. She also stretched out her left hand.
Xiao Gengwu put the ring on his ring finger. The ring fit perfectly. Yao Tongjia was surprised and turned the ring around. The ring fit so well.
She thought for a moment: "Did Wu Xinyue order this ring for you?"
Nowadays, most rings in China are made of gold, and platinum like this is almost never seen. It looks like silver, and people don't believe that it is also a type of gold.
Xiao Gengwu nodded: "Do you like it?"
Yao Tongjia nodded vigorously at the time. She really didn't like gold rings, feeling they were very tacky!
Fortunately, Xiao Gengwu had secretly discussed this topic with Yao Tongjia before, and Yao Tongjia did not know at the time that Xiao Gengwu was preparing their wedding rings.
He casually remarked, "I think gold is tacky. If I'm going to wear gold, I'd rather wear a silver ring!"
Later, Xiao Gengwu called Wu Xinyue and asked her to find him a platinum ring in Hong Kong. Fortunately, in a big city like Hong Kong, there was nothing that wasn't available.
Yao Tongjia knew that Xiao Gengwu had gone to great lengths, so she quickly pulled Xiao Gengwu to stand up. Then, the living room, which had originally only contained the two of them, suddenly became filled with many people.
Ruan Shengpeng, Yao Yanxin, Yao Tongxu, He Jiale, He Jiayin, Jun Nanzhu, Tuantuan, the two elders of the Xiao family, Xiao Yan, Eagle Eye Man, and Wu Xinyue, who said she wouldn't be back tonight.
They all smiled and applauded the two of them, then threw various colored papers at them. Yao Tongjia was clearly stunned; everyone had come.
Yao Tongjia pointed at these people: "Them, they were upstairs the whole time? Even this little dumpling was up there?" Putting aside the others, how could this little dumpling be so quiet?
Xiao Gengwu nodded: "Yes, they went upstairs while you were changing your clothes!"
"Why didn't you tell me?" Yao Tongxu's face was flushed. The two of them had been kissing for a long time just now!
Seeing Yao Tongjia's uncomfortable expression, Xiao Gengwu quickly whispered to comfort her, "They definitely don't know about our kiss, don't worry!"
But He Jiale immediately exposed them: "You two are too amazing. You can kiss for so long. I checked the time for you. It was 19 minutes. Your lung capacity is incredible!"
Xiao Gengwu was now at his wit's end: "Shut up!"
Everyone smiled kindly. Even Ruan Shengpeng, who had been so wary of Xiao Gengwu, didn't say anything, just smiled.
When everyone had gone home, Ruan Shengpeng specially pulled Yao Tongjia downstairs: "Tongtong, seeing that you have someone to accompany you, Dad is really very happy!"
Yao Tongjia finally voiced her question: "Dad, weren't you worried about us having intimate behavior before? Why aren't you interfering this time?"
"How can that be the same? Before, I was afraid that you were too young and hadn't realized your own feelings before making mistakes. Now you have passed my test."
"Since you've decided to get married, I'll definitely give you space, including Ah Xu!"
