In fact, from Chen Meng’er’s point of view, her original intention was to settle the matter after a meal between the two families. However, the moment she opened her mouth, Elder Liu and the others vetoed it. In their words, how could the young lady of the Green Gang and the Qu family have such a casual engagement?
This engagement party had to be held. However, at Chen Meng’er’s insistence, this engagement party was not made to be more grand than other people’s weddings. There was also a huge change in the number of people invited.
Only a few people who were close to them were invited. However, even so, there were enough guests to fill twenty tables.
Chen Meng’er and Yuwen Jing’s engagement party was scheduled to start at six in the evening. Early in the morning, Chen Meng’er was pulled by her two mothers to put on makeup. In the words of her two mothers, “Although you are beautiful without makeup, today is your engagement with Yuwen Jing. If you don’t put on some makeup, it would seem that you don’t value this engagement party.”
These words made Chen Meng’er, who had originally refused to wear makeup, comply.
She knew that Yuwen Jing had spent a lot of effort on this engagement party. She didn’t want Yuwen Jing to misunderstand her attitude towards him. Therefore, Chen Meng’er could only endure the displeasure in her heart and said to the makeup artist, “Put on as little makeup as possible for me.”
“Little Miss, don’t worry, I promise I won’t let you down.” The makeup artist was the personal makeup artist of Murong Ying’s company. She had long understood Chen Meng’er’s preferences. As a result, the cosmetics she prepared had all been replaced with new ones. Chen Meng’er liked them.
Fortunately, this makeup artist was still more reliable. She only gave Chen Meng’er a little eyeliner and mascara. She didn’t do anything else, which made Chen Meng’er feel much more comfortable.
However, when Chen Meng’er changed into a light pink dress and tied her hair up, Murong Ying, Liu Juan, and the makeup artist were all staring at her with their eyes wide open.
“How do I look?” Chen Meng’er was a little uncomfortable with her grand dress. After all, putting on makeup and wearing a dress were things she had only done in her previous life. This was the first time in her life that she had dressed so formally.
“Beautiful.”
“You’re gorgeous,” Murong Ying and Liu Juan couldn’t help but say.
The makeup artist looked at Chen Meng’er with shining eyes and said, “Little Miss, can you let me take a photo?”
“No!” Before Chen Meng’er could say anything, Murong Ying and Liu Juan said in unison.
“Xiao Li, as you know, Meng’er’s identity is quite special. Her photo cannot be taken by just anyone. So, I’m sorry,” Murong Ying said with a smile, but the disapproval in her eyes was obvious.
After being reminded by Murong Ying and Liu Juan, Xiao Li, the makeup artist, finally realized that the person in front of her was not a usual guest. This was the little miss of the Green Gang and the little miss of the Qu family. With such an identity, how could she take a picture just because she wanted to?
“I’m sorry. I was confused when I saw how beautiful the little miss was.” Xiao Li scratched her head in embarrassment. “However, I can guarantee that our groom will be eager to hide her away when he sees her going out like this. He won’t let anyone see her.”
Needless to say, Xiao Li was right.
“Meng’er, are you done? It’s almost time.” Yuwen Jing, who was wearing a custom-made suit, had a faint smile on his face for the whole day. It was obvious that he was in a good mood today.
“Alright, I’ll be out in a moment,” Chen Meng’er replied.
Murong Ying and Liu Juan helped Chen Meng’er tidy up the corner of her skirt. They looked at Chen Meng’er with a face full of love and reluctance. This was their daughter.
“I’m really reluctant to part with her. She is clearly so young. How did she become so big in the blink of an eye? She’s going to get married soon.” As Liu Juan spoke, her eyes turned red.
“Yeah, I still remember how she looked when she was born, but she became a big girl in the blink of an eye. I’m sorry to have missed out on a lot of her growth process.” Speaking of this, Murong Ying’s heart had been aching.
“Moms! I’m just engaged, not doing anything else. Besides, you think I’m growing up so fast. When I have a daughter in the future, don’t think she’s too young and too noisy.” Chen Meng’er couldn’t bear to see such a sad scene.
Speaking of their granddaughter in the future, Murong Ying and Liu Juan’s eyes lit up. There was no longer the sadness from before.
They pushed the door open.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Yuwen Jing, who was standing outside, raised his head. When he saw Chen Meng’er clearly inside the door, his eyes shone with a dazzling light. However, in the next second, his eyes darkened, he subconsciously wanted to ask Chen Meng’er to change out of her dress. He didn’t want others to see how beautiful Chen Meng’er was.
However, before he could say anything, Murong Ying and Liu Juan, who were following behind Chen Meng’er, said to Yuwen Jing, “Jing, what do you think? Is Meng’er gorgeous today?”
“Of course. That’s for sure.”
Yuwen Jing only understood after listening to their words. From the looks of it, his beloved’s outfit today was the masterpiece of his two mothers-in-law. Since it was the masterpiece of his two mothers-in-law, he could not ask her to change.
“Yes, Meng’er is especially beautiful today.” Her beauty made him want to hide her now and not let anyone see her.
Chen Meng’er knew Yuwen Jing so well, how could she not see what Yuwen Jing was thinking at this moment? Chen Meng’er covered her mouth and snickered.
“Then let’s go.” Chen Meng’er walked to Yuwen Jing’s side with a smile on her face. She held onto Yuwen Jing’s arm.
The guests had arrived a long time ago. Because it was an engagement party, there was no need for Chen Meng’er and Yuwen Jing to greet the guests outside. Therefore, when Chen Meng’er and Yuwen Jing walked to the entrance of the banquet hall, they heard the voice of the host.
“Distinguished guests, good evening, everyone! Today is the beginning of the lunar month. It’s a good day for good fortune. On this beautiful day, we finally welcome Mr. Yuwen Jing and Miss Chen Meng’er’s engagement party. Now, let’s welcome the two of them to the stage.”
“Meng’er, are you ready?” Yuwen Jing pulled Chen Meng’er’s hand and asked softly and gently.
