The next morning Tang Hu present in front of Mo"s Old Mansion while Mo Xingjuan already informed her family about her relations.h.i.+p with Tang Hu. Everyone was a little surprised except Mo Lingtan. Didn"t Mo Xingjuan reject the Tang Family marriage proposal?However, Mo Xingjuan a.s.sured everyone that she liked Tang Hu and wanted to spend her life from here on out only with him. Since the Tang Family had a good family, so the Mo family didn"t have any problems with it. Moreover, Mo Xingjuan liked Tang Hu which was the more important thing for them. Since she was happy so they would support her fully.
As far as the engagement, they also felt that it was too early but when they saw happiness on Mo Xingjuan"s face they wouldn"t object to it.
The Tang family and The Mo Family met during the dinner to set the engagement day and discuss the things about the engagement.
The engagement was set on the last day of this week just a day before Mo Xingjuan"s college reopened.
Everyone in the Mo Family and the Tang Family were very happy with this arrangement and an atmosphere like a festival was created in both families.
Now that Tang Hu and Mo Xingjuan had announced their relations.h.i.+p, Mo Xingjuan didn"t stop herself from showing their display of public affection. Whereas, Tang Hu was helpless against her, so he just did as she wanted.
Lee Xuiye was happy for her friend and she felt envious as well. She also wanted to be engaged with Mo Lingtan and wanted the Mo Family to dote on her like the Tang Family had been doting on Mo Xingjuan. Unfortunately for her, she was having a cold war with Mo Lingtan.
There was one more person who felt envious and that person was Mo Lingtan. He wished he and Lee Xuiye could have a life like Tang Hu and Mo Xingjuan were having. If Lee Xuiye hadn"t decided to join s...o...b..z industries then perhaps, they would have been engaged by now.
As the saying goes "Happy times pa.s.s soon."
Soon, the week had pa.s.sed and the day of the engagement arrived. Tang Hu and Mo Xingjuan"s engagement became the talk of the town.
Every big family talked about the Tang and Mo Families, obviously they were all jealous except two families, The Li Family and The Shen Family, they hated the Mo Family to the core as their dream for getting their daughters to marry into the Tang Family had been in vain.
The Shen Family regretted the fact that they aired their att.i.tude, which they showed to Ding Jiaye when she wanted to fix Shen Manting and Tang Hu together.
While the Li Corporation regretted that they didn"t send the marriage proposal to the Tang Family despite Li Li"s continuous urging, but they were waiting for the right time. Who would have thought that the Mo Family would seize the deal before they could?
Deal???
Well for them, it was a deal between two families.

On the engagement night.
Even though Mo Lingtan and Lee Xuiye were having a cold war, Mo Lingtan didn"t forget his duties of the boyfriend. Since he was her boyfriend, he must be present with his one and only girlfriend, Lee Xuiye at the engagement party.
Moreover, Mo Lingtan knew that many girls would be present in the engagement party who wanted to cajole him, but how could Mo Lingtan let any other girl cajole him when he had his girlfriend?
"Xuiye, what are you doing? Lingtan is waiting for so long?" Lee Chang-You came inside Lee Xuiye"s room when she felt that Lee Xuiye was taking extrtime.
Lee Xuiye was standing in front of the mirror staring blankly to herself. She came back to her senses when she heard Lee Chang-You"s voice.
"Yes, Mom. I am just coming."
Lee Chang-You was Lee Xuiye"s mother, how could she not understand that there was something which bothered her daughter?
"Let"s go. I am ready!" Lee Xuiye set her dress and went towards Lee Chang-You with a forced smile on her face.
"Really? With this face of yours?"
Every girl was sensitive regarding her face and she always expected to hear that she was looking beautiful after one long hour of doing her makeup. Lee Xuiye was no different. As soon as Lee Chang-You commented on her face, she sprinted towards the mirror and started checking her face.
"What? What? What happened to my face?" Lee Xuiye asked while checking every inch of her face.
"Your face looks beautiful with a natural smile and not with that forced smile. What"s this smile of yours? You are looking like a zombie!" Lee Chang-You softy reprimanded.
"Mom."
"What happened?"
"We fought!"
"So"
"So?"
"Yeah! It is not like you don"t fight on trivial matters at any other time."
Lee Xuiye shot an unhappily glance and didn"t respond.
"What?" Lee Chang-You asked.
"I think I made a mistake."
"Mistake?"
Lee Xuiye nodded and said "I think I don"t deserve him. He always sacrifices things for me and in return, I can"t give him what he wanted."
"What did he ask for?" Lee Chang-You softly asked.
"That...That…" Lee Xuiye felt embarra.s.sed to talk about it but she couldn"t tolerate her cold war with Mo Lingtan and she needed someone to whom she could talk about her problems, apart from Mo Lingtan and there was only Lee Chang-you. Well, Yue Wanwan was there, but if Lee Xuiye shared her problem with her, then she would curse Mo Lingtan and suggest Lee Xuiye break up with Mo Lingtan. So, Yue Wanwan wasn"t an appropriate person.
"He...He wants to take our relations.h.i.+p to…." Lee Xuiye didn"t continue her sentence, as her face turned red and blushed.
It was the first time that Lee Xuiye shared something like this with Lee Chang-You. Although, Lee Chang-You was her mother and there was nothing to be ashamed of as every mother taught her daughter things like her friend, but Lee Xuiye was different. There was only Mo Lingtan who came first in terms of teaching, so Lee Xuiye rarely shared things with Lee Chang-You as Lee Chang-You already had her own problems.
When Lee Chang-You heard Lee Xuiye, she was startled for a moment as she didn"t know what to say. As she had already suffered in her relations.h.i.+p because of her trust in w.a.n.g Hui. She didn"t want her daughter to suffer as well.
But...
"Then, there is nothing wrong with it!" Lee Chang-You calmly said.
Lee Xuiye was stunned for a moment. It was Lee Chang-You who was advised her to be cautious and based on Lee Chang-You"s failure in her relations.h.i.+p, it was acceptable to take her advice seriously. However, now she was telling her daughter that there was nothing wrong to proceed further.
"Mom?" Lee Xuiye shockingly looked at Lee Chang-You as if Lee Chang-You had said something wrong which she wasn"t supposed to be saying.
Lee Chang-You smiled as she was very happy that her daughter had shared her problem with her otherwise she always felt guilty for not fulfilling her duties as a mother.
"Lingtan is a good child and he is far better than that man. If you are with him then I have nothing to worry about and like you said he makes many sacrifices for you then it means he is a trustworthy person, right? So there is nothing wrong to proceed further with him, right?" Lee Chang-You softly explained to her daughter.
Lee Xuiye understood that, "that man" meant w.a.n.g Hui. Lee Chang-You hated him so much that she didn"t want to say his name.
"Okay!" Lee Xuiye replied with a smile and this time she had a natural smile on her face and she slightly blushed as well.
"Ohhh…. Look at my daughter...she is blus.h.i.+ng… there is no need to blush… afterward...I will teach you…" Lee Chang-You teased.
However, before Lee Chang-You continued further, Lee Xuiye interrupted her by covering her mother"s mouth as she felt that she needed to dig a hole and hide in it "Mom!!!"
"Okay...okay...stop joking...Now Lingtan has been waiting for you for so long…. It is not good to make him wait for you."
"Okay…" Lee Xuiye immediately said and turned to leave, but Lee Chang-You stopped her.
"Ohhh ...Don"t forget what I have told you...I can teach you if you want…."
But suddenly...
"What you want to teach her, Aunty Chang?" At that moment, Mo Lingtan"s voice suddenly blushed across the mother and daughter"s ears.
