Chapter 154 Engagement Banquet
It was a carefully chosen auspicious day, the weather was good, the sun was shining brightly, and the sky was clear and blue.
Shi Chengyu woke up early, and seeing Shen Chutang was sleeping soundly, he did not call her. However, not long after he got up, Shen Chutang got up from the bed, and half asleep and half awake, she followed the sound to find him.
Shi Chengyu was cooking in the kitchen when he was suddenly hugged around the waist, warm and soft.
Shen Chutang leaned her face against his back and yawned. She was still wearing Shi Chengyu's shirt, which was loose and made of comfortable material, and she wore it as pajamas.
Shi Chengyu turned off the fire, held her arm, turned around, and picked her up, "Why don't you sleep for a while."
"I can't sleep. I have things to do today." Shen Chutang lay on his shoulder without opening her eyes, her voice a little hoarse.
Shi Chengyu held her and poured her some water, then sat on the sofa and slowly fed her water. "Don't worry, just sleep a little longer if you feel sleepy."
“No.”
Shen Chutang shook her head, put her arms around his neck, and said with a smile, "I'm a little nervous."
Shi Chengyu kissed her smiling face and said, "We're just going to have a meal, and by the way... change my ring."
"Okay." Shen Chutang's eyes sparkled, "Let's hurry up, I have to go wash up."
"I'll carry you."
After breakfast, the family driver came to pick them up. When they arrived at Lanjiang Court, both villas had been decorated and were filled with a festive atmosphere.
Shen Chutang went upstairs to put on makeup and change her clothes. She wore a red cheongsam with wide sleeves and her hair was tied up at the back.
Chen Musheng looked at it and couldn't help but think of the time when she was eighteen years old. At that time, Shen Chutang held her arm, and even with high heels on, he was not as tall as her. Now he is taller than her.
It's not just Shi Chengyu who has finally gained happiness after suffering hardships. Her precious daughter is also a brave little girl who has overcome difficulties time and time again.
Shi Chengyu changed his clothes first and waited for her downstairs. He heard slow footsteps and looked up. Shen Chutang was coming down the stairs.
The hem of her red cheongsam swayed with her movements, revealing a bit of her white, jade-like calves and ankles. His eyes slowly moved upwards, following Shen Chutang's hand from her waist to her ears, watching her pull back the hair at her temples.
Shi Chengyu's breathing stagnated, and everything around him lost its color, except for Shen Chutang who was walking towards him slowly.
The smile on his lips gradually spread, and he walked up to him before extending his hand.
"Do I look good today?" Shen Chutang asked with a smile.
Shi Chengyu's Adam's apple rolled, his ears turned slightly red, and he nodded. His reaction just now had already given Shen Chutang the most honest answer.
Shen Chutang suppressed her laughter and took his arm, "Let's go, my fiancé."
The yard was decorated with red ribbons everywhere, even the trees were wrapped with red cloth. The two round tables were filled with people, welcoming the two people with their eyes.
Shi Chengyu wrote the couple's wedding speech, and he also asked an embroiderer from Suzhou to embroider a copy with gold thread for easy preservation.
The two respected old men decided who would read the wedding speech by playing rock-paper-scissors, which made everyone around them laugh. In the end, Shen Boyu won the game with a best-of-three result.
He patted his clothes, walked forward and picked up the marriage certificate on the table.
"Today, the red rope is tied to the harp and the zither
I sincerely wish that we will be together forever and make a vow together."
......
"The mountains and rivers are our mirrors, the sun and the moon are our guide.
The hand holding the child is also relaxed and active. "
"The ceremony is over——"
As his deep voice fell, applause rang out in the yard. Some people clapped with a smile, some wiped their eyes, but they all sent their blessings to the two of them with the same sincerity.
The two people on the stage put engagement rings on each other. The moment the warm ring was put on his finger, Shi Chengyu's eyes became moist.
No one knew how long he had waited for this day. Shen Chutang moved slightly closer to him and whispered in his ear, "Shi Chengyu, I am so happy."
Shi Chengyu held her hand tightly and nodded vigorously, because she was happy, and he also had the ability to sense happiness.
The two families had dinner together, chatted about their family matters, and set a date for their wedding.
Shi Chengyu couldn't resist being forced to drink a few glasses of wine, and he felt a little dizzy after the meal. He held on to Shen Chutang and refused to let go.
Shen Chutang took him back to the top floor. This room held too many memories for the two of them. Sitting on the sofa, Shi Chengyu fell on her and buried his face in her neck.
Shen Chutang guessed that he was drunk. His face was a little red. He hadn't spoken a word since the meal. "If you can't drink much, can't you drink less?"
At this moment, he is so honest that he will drink a glass to anyone who toasts him.
Shen Chutang rubbed his face, which was a little hot.
"Happy." Shi Chengyu said with a smile, looking a little silly.
Shen Chutang burst out laughing, "Fool."
When she smiled, Chengyu smiled along with her, the love in his eyes seemed to overflow. He held her hand, and lifted it up after a while to look at the rings on both of their hands.
Shen Chutang lowered her head and kissed him on the cheek. When she looked up, she heard him say, "I want more."
"No more." Shen Chutang teased him, "No more."
Shi Chengyu's expression became a little aggrieved, "No."
Shen Chutang's heart softened when he saw this, and he quickly lowered his head and kissed her a few more times, "Have a good rest, and drink some sobering soup later."
"No." Shi Chengyu said, "Tangtang will sober you up after a kiss."
It was a poor excuse, but he spoke it very seriously.
Shen Chutang pinched his face, "We kissed for so long just now, are you sober now?"
Shi Chengyu's reaction was a little slow and he nodded.
"Since you're sober, let's not kiss each other."
After Shen Chutang finished speaking, he obviously saw Shi Chengyu was stunned. He probably didn't expect this result.
The next second, Shi Chengyu turned his head and laid on her neck, rubbing it randomly, as if venting his dissatisfaction.
Shen Chutang was made itchy all over by him and trembled with laughter. Shi Chengyu held her in his arms and kissed her ears, but he seemed unsatisfied and hummed softly.
It was the first time that Shen Chutang saw him like this. If she could move, she would have wanted to take out her phone to record it.
The two of them squeezed on the small sofa. Shen Chutang patted his back and slowly coaxed him to sleep. He himself also felt sleepy.
When Chen Musheng came to deliver the sobering soup, what she saw was the two of them sleeping on the sofa in each other's arms. There was no need for the sobering soup, so she took a blanket from the side and covered them with it, then left quietly.
The engagement party was over, and it seemed like this was just an ordinary day for them. Life returned to normal, and the two of them began to go to get off work together, cook and eat together again. It was a plain but happy life.
Soon it was June, and it was Shen Chutang's graduation day. Shen Chutang asked Shi Chengyu for leave in a serious manner and invited him to attend her graduation ceremony.
"What's good about me?" Shi Chengyu crossed his legs, smiled slightly, and looked like he wanted to negotiate with her.
