Therefore, although the news of Fu Yuan and Shi Xinling's engagement only came out in the past two days, their invitations are still one of the things that everyone in Nuancheng's upper class fights for. Many people are proud to receive invitations from the Fu family. Many people even showed off with invitations.

Shi Xinling stayed up all night last night. She couldn't sleep in the first half of the night, and in the second half of the night she couldn't sleep and had to get up to put on makeup.

When she woke up early and saw her face, it was like a scene from a disaster movie, with panda eyes, big eye bags, and lips that were chapped, like a turtle shell.

She secretly regretted in her heart that she had not taken her body seriously when she was young, but now that she was thirty years old, the retribution had come. She would become tired after staying up late for a while, and she had to use half a bottle of cosmetics to cover up the fatigue.

If she were twenty years younger, even if she stayed up for several nights, she would still be able to see nothing during the day and still be full of energy.

Fortunately, the makeup artist who applied makeup to her today was from the top wedding company in Nuan City. Under the skillful hands of the makeup artist, her dark circles and bags under her eyes disappeared.

After changing her clothes, Shi Xinling came to the door of Fu Yuan's room and knocked on the door. Unexpectedly, no one responded after knocking for a long time. A passing servant told her that Fu Yuan had gone down.

Shi Xinling stood at the door and coughed awkwardly. This seemed to be different from their scheduled process. According to the process, she and Fu Yuan should go downstairs together.

But now that Fu Yuan has gone down, what should we do?

Shi Xinling was quite embarrassed standing in the corridor on the second floor. She wanted to find someone to call Fu Yuan up, but she was afraid that Fu Yuan would not come up.

Finally, she sighed, gritted her teeth, and walked down the steps step by step, carrying the wedding dress with a long tail.

The people who came to attend their engagement banquet today were all dignitaries from Shucheng. These people were also in the same circle as the Shi family. Many of them knew Shi Xinling, and when they saw her coming down, several people took the initiative to say hello.

Shi Xinling showed a perfect smile and greeted everyone one by one. She wanted to ask where Fu Yuan was, but she felt that she couldn't ask. After all, she was also the heroine today. She asked passers-by A, B, and C to inquire about the hero's whereabouts. Somewhat embarrassing?

After she circled the Fu family's living room, which was half the size of a basketball court, she finally found Fu Yuan in the corridor outside.

It was still pouring rain at that time. Although it was midday, the rain and fog blocked your view. You couldn't even see clearly the scenery a few meters away.

Fu Yuan was leaning against a railing in the corridor. He was wearing a crisp suit and just stood so casually, but everyone who saw him couldn't take their eyes away.

He is like an orchid in the valley, isolated from the world, guarding his own little world here.

Although the distance between them was less than two meters, Shi Xinling felt that she and Fu Yuan were in two different worlds.

In the world that belonged to Fu Yuan, he built a high city wall outside. There was a thick iron door on the wall with a keyhole, but the key to open the door was not in Shi Xinling's hand.

She gritted her teeth hard, leaving a neat tooth mark on her lips. She coughed dryly and walked towards Fu Yuan, "Why are you here alone?"

The moment Fu Yuan turned around, he dropped the cigarette in his hand on the ground and put it out. He looked at Shi Xinling and said calmly, "There are too many people in the room. Come out and get some air."

"How come I didn't know you smoked?" Shi Xinling's eyes fell on the cigarette butts on the ground, and excitement shone in her eyes.

Fu Yuan's eyes had moved away from Shi Xinling. He looked towards the foot of the mountain and said casually, "Someone just gave me one. I have never smoked one before and I want to know what it tastes like."

"Smoking is fun. When you smoke, you feel like you are emptying your mind and you can escape reality." Shi Xinling said in a persuasive way, "If you still can't forget Su Wuwei, then smoke next time you think of Su Wuwei. You’ll feel much better that way.”

Fu Yuan did not answer her question but stared at her for a moment. It was not until Shi Xinling was uncomfortable asking the reason that he said meaningfully, "I didn't expect you to be so open-minded about smoking. I I thought you would persuade me not to smoke, saying that smoking is harmful to health."

"Well..." Shi Xinling smiled dryly and quickly explained, "That's not what I meant. I also think smoking is bad for your health. I mean you can temporarily relieve the pain in your heart by smoking, but it won't be a solution in the long run. Don’t get addicted.”

After she finished speaking, she looked at Fu Yuan carefully. Unfortunately, he seemed to have not heard her words and walked directly past her towards the door.

Shi Xinling quickly picked up her skirt and trotted after him, and finally caught up with Fu Yuan at the gate. She was about to explain again, but unexpectedly they were surrounded by people the moment they entered.

She carefully looked at Fu Yuan's face, but didn't see any strange expression on his face. She tentatively stretched out her hand to hold Fu Yuan's arm.

Shi Xinling clearly felt that Fu Yuan's body had become stiff. She was worried that he would refuse such an intimate gesture like before, but he finally let Shi Xinling hold his arm.

When the time came, the engagement ceremony officially began, and a master of ceremonies began to preside over it on the stage set up.

Everything went smoothly, and the most important thing was Shi Xinling's high degree of cooperation. When the emcee asked them to tell some of their love stories to heighten the atmosphere, Shi Xinling told a lot about their childhood.

Finally it was time for the ring to appear. The emcee said passionately on the stage, "Mr. Fu, please wear this ring that you carefully selected for Miss Shi. She will officially become your fiancée in the near future." Be her and she will be your wife.”

Fu Yuan looked down at the unfamiliar pink diamond ring. A lavender diamond ring appeared in his mind. That was the only ring he carefully selected. Unfortunately, that ring could never be worn on her hand again. .

Thinking of this, Fu Yuan sighed softly. He slowly picked up the pink ring. He did not put the ring on Shi Xinling directly. Instead, he looked at her and asked seriously, "Have you really thought about it clearly?"

Crystal tears appeared in Shi Xinling's dark eyes. She sniffed to control her emotions, and then she nodded shyly, "I have thought clearly, as long as I have you in my life."

"I'm just a little sorry for you." Fu Yuan held the ring between his index finger and thumb. Although he said this, his eyes were extremely complicated, and there was a deep struggle in them.

Geng Cai'er looked anxiously off the stage. She coughed dryly to attract Fu Yuan's attention, and then pointed at Fu Ziheng at him calmly.

Fu Yuan's hand holding the ring passed towards Shi Xinling little by little, and just as he was about to touch her fingernail, a clear voice rang out, "Wait a minute!"
