79 The Engagement Ceremony (2/2)

but they didn't?! That wasn't fair.'

'After the man had left

He Xinyan had got it figured out

”Did you give him the sponsor because he called me Mrs. Gu?”'

'Gu Yechen picked up her hand again and began playing around with her fingers

”My baby is the smartest.”'

'”. . .”'

'All of the guests had arrived

and because not many people went up to congratulate Li Yuyan and Su Zhiming anymore

the ceremony began earlier than expected.'

'He Xinyan found the ceremony to be extremely boring as she watched the two disgusting people on stage speak and act all lovey-dovey.'

'The ceremony finally ended right before she was about to fall asleep

and she was the first to stand up from the chair and drag Gu Yechen over to the refreshment tables.'

'”Ah

this is the only good thing about this ceremony

” He Xinyan said as she looked at the food.'

'Xinyan had decided that she and Gu Yechen had done enough already

and she will be generous and allow the rest of the engagement ceremony to be peaceful and planned.'

'There was still a lot of fun ahead at the wedding. . .'

'For the rest of the time

she ate

until it was time to go home. Bai Jiawei came over and told her that she could go home and rest to show Gu Yechen that he was a good father

but he did not expect He Xinyan to reply:'

'”I didn't plan on staying to help anyway.”'

'With that

she and Gu Yechen had left the hotel

entered their car

and returned back to the Xihe Estates.'

'---'

'When Bai Jiawei

Li Huiran

Li Yuyan

and Su Zhiming returned home

He Xinyan was on the couch watching television with a bag of chips on her lap.'

'Li Yuyan's eyes turned red with rage when she saw He Xinyan and she marched over

”He Xinyan! You did that on purpose didn't you?!”'

'”What?” He Xinyan asked innocently. Li Yuyan wasn't only mad about Gu Yechen

but she had also realized that during the entire ceremony

Su Zhiming's eyes and attention were fixed onto He Xinyan

and he would glance at her every few seconds.'

'She had purposely dressed like an evil vixen to steal her spotlight! Of course

Li Yuyan couldn't actually say that

or else she would be telling He Xinyan she was scared of her.'

'Even now

Su Zhiming had his eyes glued onto He Xinyan. She had always been very conservative in the past when she was with him

and she never wore revealing clothes like the one she had worn today.'

'It was different but also very attractive. . . He had been like this for a while now. It seemed like He Xinyan could control his heart

and his every movement or word was like an attraction spell to Su Zhiming. Especially today

she looked so beautiful. . .'

'But it was too late now. He couldn't break off the wedding with Li Yuyan

and even if he did

he wasn't sure if he would be able to get Xinyan back.'

'”You cannot bring Mr. Gu to my wedding! I know you are purposely trying to draw attention to yourself

but not at my wedding!”'

'He Xinyan shrugged

”I won't bring him. He is a very busy person

you know? It's an honor he even spent the time to go to your engagement ceremony. He doesn't have the spare time or energy to go to your wedding

so don't overthink.”'

'Li Yuyan opened her mouth to say something else

but Bai Jiawei suddenly stepped forward.'

'”Yanyan

I need to talk to you. Come with me to my office.”'
