"will you marry me?"
His voice was low and gentle, filled with endless love and promise. Wen Ning's eyes widened, unable to believe what she was seeing. Her heartbeat quickened, her cheeks flushed, and tears welled in her eyes. This sudden proposal made her feel incredibly happy and touched.
The people around also cast their envious and blessing glances, and their applause and cheers added more joy to this wonderful moment.
"Marry him."
"Marry him."
"Marry him."
The crowd was filled with shouts and screams. Wen Ning covered his mouth with his hands in excitement, looking at the man in front of him with tears in his eyes, "What are you doing? You're making me cry!"
"Then do you agree?" Lu Shiyan still knelt on one knee, looked up at her and asked.
Wen Ning knew that the man in front of her was her life partner and she was willing to spend the rest of her life with him.
"I do!" Wen Ning nodded excitedly, tears streaming down her cheeks. She held out a trembling hand, and Lu Shiyan placed the ring on her finger. The moment the ring slipped onto her ring finger, she knew they had finally achieved their goal. At that moment, she felt immense happiness and contentment, as if the entire world was blessing them. She looked at the man before her, slowly stood up, then cupped her face, lowered her head, and gently kissed her forehead, all around her, cheering.
Lu Shiyan had arranged the venue early in the morning, and it was all carefully decorated. He had also sent out invitations a few days ago, because he wanted people to witness their important moment. After hearing her agreement, he felt that it was all worth it.
"Thank you all for coming to our engagement ceremony. Please feel free to do as you please." Lu Shiyan bowed to the guests to express his gratitude, then took her hand and walked towards the parents of both parties.
"Mom and Dad, why did you join him in lying to me?" Wen Ning couldn't help but complain when he saw his parents and brother standing together.
She is their biological daughter, yet they colluded with Lu Shiyan and didn't tell her.
"You can't blame me for this. It was Ayan who said that he wanted to give you a surprise." Mother Wen smiled kindly. She was so happy that her daughter was engaged to her favorite son-in-law. How could she not be happy?
"I don't care. I'm your biological daughter. You colluded with others and didn't tell me. I'm a little angry." Wen Ning said coquettishly.
"Well, it was all my idea. I asked my aunt not to tell you because I wanted to give you a surprise. Can you please stop being angry?" Lu Shiyan gently stroked her hair. He knew that she was just talking and was not really angry.
"Yes, sister-in-law, don't let my brother off easily." Lu Shili echoed from the side. He wanted to watch the fun and enjoy the show. He just wanted to see his sister-in-law deal with him. Who made his brother always so serious? He was so gentle to his sister-in-law, he didn't seem like a serious person at all, but he treated him like Satan.
As a result, Lu Shiyan glanced over coldly, his eyes carrying a hint of warning. Lu Shili huddled behind his grandmother.
"You little kid, what nonsense are you talking about?" Mother Lu was the first to disagree and hit him hard on the head with her hand.
"Mom, why did you hit me?" Lu Shili said with some grievance.
Mother Lu glanced at him with disdain, then smiled and took Wen Ning's hand, saying, "Ningning, don't listen to Ah Li's nonsense. This kid forgot to bring his brain when he went out today."
The more she looked at her, the more she liked her. She couldn't wait to marry her home. She loved this daughter-in-law so much. How could she let the person her son had finally married be scared away?
"Ayan just wanted to give you a surprise, so don't be angry with him." Mother Lu was afraid that she would be angry, so she quickly explained to her son.
Wen Ning realized she had misunderstood and quickly explained, "Auntie, I'm not angry."
"I'm glad you're not angry, I'm glad you're not angry." Mother Lu was so excited that she pulled her hand and patted it repeatedly. Lu Shiyan found it funny and quickly freed Wen Ning's hand from her mother's.
Afterwards, the elders of the two families sat together and chatted, discussing the dates of their weddings and what to prepare for the wedding. They were so excited talking.
Lu Shiyan was surrounded by people toasting him repeatedly, and everyone at the banquet came over to talk to him. Wen Ning was a little shocked by this scene.
Seeing that Wen Ning finally had some time, Li Yang immediately pulled her over to an empty table and sat down. His face was filled with anticipation and excitement as he asked, "How's it going? A surprise, right?"
However, Wen Ning's face was full of joy, and he punched her with a hint of resentment. "How dare you say that? As my best friend, you didn't tell me this news in advance? And you and others hid it from me. Tell me, when did you know about it? When did you collude with Lu Shiyan?"
Wen Ning stayed with her whenever he was free, and she had managed to keep it a secret from her, which was completely beyond her expectation.
Li Yang watched Wen Ning feign anger, feeling a little amused, but mostly excited. She smiled and explained, "Oh, I wanted to give you a surprise. It wouldn't be fun if I told you in advance. Also, your boyfriend asked me not to tell you. You'll have to settle the score. You can go and settle it with him after the party." Li Yang pointed at Lu Shiyan, who was being forced to drink.
Wen Ning followed her finger, looked at the people drinking in front of him, and said unreasonably, "Humph, you're my friend, so you should stand on my side."
"Okay, I'll stand by you unconditionally from now on." Li Yang said perfunctorily. After all, this was just a one-time proposal, there wouldn't be a next time. What difference would it make if she agreed?
Wen Ning understood what she meant by looking at her grimacing expression, and patted her shoulder with a smile.
"Okay, stop beating me. At least I made you look nice. At least you didn't come here looking dirty."
"Tsk, do you think I'd show up here with such a dirty face?"
"Oh, that's right. Our little darling Ningning is a beautiful little princess." Li Yang pinched her face and teased her. Wen Ning slapped her hand away in anger.
She stood there quietly, her gaze fixed on the tall, handsome man in front of her. Her eyes were filled with deep affection, as if drawn by an invisible force, unable to look away. She secretly marveled: This man could be so handsome!
"What? After just a moment, you can't bear to let go? Your eyes are glued to him." Li Yang's voice, with a hint of teasing, broke her thoughts.
She came back to her senses, not embarrassed at all, and said generously: "Of course, my fiancé, he is very handsome."
