"Xiao Yuan hereby requests to marry Bai Qingzhi, the second young lady of the Bai family, from the two elders. I promise to take care of her and cherish her for the rest of my life, never betray her or deceive her, support her through thick and thin, and grow old together. I hope the two elders will grant my request."
Xiao Yuan knelt down, clasped his hands above his head, and spoke in a serious tone.
Bai Qingzhi stood beside him, looking at him with eyes full of love.
"What if we disobey?" Father Bai asked with a serious expression.
If he nods in agreement today, his daughter will truly become someone else's wife.
Although he knew Xiao Yuan was a good boy, Bai's father still couldn't help but worry.
"If I betray her, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!" Xiao Yuan said this with an extremely serious expression.
Lou Xiaoxiao stood aside, looking at the fine red dust in the air, knowing that this was the trace of the contract being reached.
From then on, Xiao Yuan truly had to act according to the agreement.
"What nonsense are you talking about, child? Get up, we're all family now." Mother Bai glared at Xiao Yuan, then got up and pulled him up from the ground.
Although she was pleased with Xiao Yuan's feelings for Qingzhi, making a vow is not something that can be done casually.
"Auntie, I'm not lying. It's my greatest fortune to marry Zhizhi." Xiao Yuan said, a smile playing on his lips as he looked at Bai Qingzhi.
"I just suddenly thought of this song, hehe." Bai Qingzhi wasn't an outgoing person to begin with, and feeling awkward under everyone's gaze, she touched her nose.
Bai Qingzhi was both moved and excited, and her nose felt sore and she wanted to cry.
"Then I'll entrust Qingzhi to you. If you treat her badly, the Bai family will fight you to the death!" Father Bai said this with a ruthless tone.
We're all businessmen. Although we may look refined now, who didn't have some dirty tricks up their sleeve when they were young?
"Don't worry, in-laws, if Xiao Yuan treats Qingzhi badly, I'll be the first to not forgive him!" Xiao's father quickly added.
After going through a series of procedures, the marriage proposal was officially completed. The Bai family prepared a family banquet, and the huge restaurant was packed with people.
Bai Qingzhi and Xiao Yuan sat together. Although neither of them spoke, their eyes met and they could see the affection they had for each other.
Xiao Yuan never let go of Bai Qingzhi's hand, even when his palms were slightly sweaty.
The engagement banquet was scheduled for three days later. Because of today's prelude, the Bai and Xiao families didn't even have time to send out invitations before receiving a flood of blessings.
Bai Qingzhi has been exceptionally busy these past few days. She thought that an engagement would just involve a banquet, but she didn't expect it to be so complicated.
She was pulled out of bed at 3 a.m. on the morning of her engagement, and before she even opened her eyes, the makeup artist started applying her makeup while she was still half asleep.
Several times during this period, if the makeup artist hadn't been holding her head, Bai Qingzhi would probably have fallen asleep again.
Xiao Yuan, on the other hand, was so excited last night that he didn't sleep a wink, and even at dawn, he was still full of energy.
The thought of seeing his beloved soon made Xiao Yuan eager to get to that moment.
However, when he actually saw Bai Qingzhi's appearance, his heartache outweighed everything else.
Bai Qingzhi has clearly been through a lot these past few days, with emergency body shaping, rehearsals, and being arrested in the middle of the night. Even makeup can't hide the slight dark circles under her eyes.
Xiao Yuan stepped forward and pulled Bai Qingzhi back, then said with a regretful tone:
"It's my fault, I'm sorry."
He did initially consider a travel engagement, but out of selfishness, he also wanted to announce to the world that Zhizhi had agreed to marry him.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Although I'm a little tired, I'm very happy! After all, from now on, this outrageously handsome face will be completely mine alone." Bai Qingzhi gently pinched Xiao Yuan's cheek with a smile.
Even after being together for so long, she still couldn't resist Xiao Yuan's face.
Xiao Yuan clearly knew this.
"Then I'll let you watch as much as you want, until you get tired of it!" Xiao Yuan leaned closer and answered softly.
With no one around, Xiao Yuan quickly pecked Bai Qingzhi's lips.
"Lipstick!" Bai Qingzhi asked anxiously, looking at the lipstick imprinted on Xiao Yuan's lips.
Bai Qingzhi felt a little embarrassed as she reached out to wipe it off for him.
What if someone sees this?
Xiao Yuan chuckled softly as he looked at Bai Qingzhi's expression, letting her rub her fingers on his lips.
very nice.
By the time the process was completed, it was already noon. Bai Qingzhi hadn't eaten anything when she got up, so Xiao Yuan naturally thought of that and specially prepared food for her in the car.
"I can't eat it, I'm wearing makeup." Bai Qingzhi pouted slightly, just as her stomach rumbled.
Xiao Yuan raised the partition behind the driver, and before Bai Qingzhi could react, he decisively kissed her.
Xiao Yuan didn't release her until only a faint trace of lipstick remained on her lips.
Xiao Yuan rubbed his thumb against his lips and smiled as he spoke:
"Now I can eat it, no makeup needed."
"The lipstick is poisonous! And you still ate it." Bai Qingzhi ignored the food and anxiously took a tissue to wipe Xiao Yuan's mouth.
"Then next time we'll buy some non-toxic ones," Xiao Yuan said in a low voice, holding her wrist.
What should I do? She's so cute.
In the end, Bai Qingzhi obediently ate the food, but today she was wearing a slightly tight-fitting dress, so her lower abdomen bulged out a bit after eating.
Bai Qinghuan was sitting in the car in front of them, so as soon as the car stopped, Bai Qinghuan waited at the door.
However, as soon as she got out of the car, Bai Qinghuan's eyes widened.
"Qingzhi, your belly..."
Bai Qingzhi regretted it as soon as she finished eating, after all, the little dress was very beautiful, and now she had ruined it.
"It really is a misunderstanding," Bai Qinghuan said, stroking her chin.
"What should I do then? Should I go to the bathroom to relieve myself?" Bai Qingzhi asked, rubbing her stomach.
"You think it's all water? Let it sit for a while, it'll be fine, it'll digest in a bit." Bai Qinghuan tapped her forehead helplessly, then took out her lipstick and touched up her makeup.
Anyone with eyes could see how the lipstick disappeared, which is why Bai Qinghuan didn't ask.
The banquet hall was already full of people. Bai Qingzhi entered through the back door, as she had another event to attend later.
Xiao Yuan stood beside Bai's father, introducing each of his business partners to him.
When the time came, all the lights went out, and Bai Qingzhi descended from the sky like a fairy. From that moment on, Xiao Yuan had no eyes for anyone else.
It wasn't until the host called him to the stage and Bai's father nudged him slightly with his elbow that Xiao Yuan finally reacted.
Everything went smoothly; the lighting was soft, and the men and women were both handsome and beautiful.
The last step was for the two to exchange rings face-to-face to complete the engagement ceremony. Just as Bai Qingzhi turned to the side, someone below noticed her stomach.
Immediately afterward, the news that Miss Bai was pregnant with Xiao Yuan's child spread rapidly, and even before the banquet ended, most of the families in City A already knew about it.
