Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“The engagement ring represents the promise of marriage that you two have set for yourselves. It also symbolizes the union of two hearts and souls. Now, please present to her the physical manifestation of your love and wishes.”
As the emcee spoke gently, he turned to look at Ji Ziming.
“Groom, you may now put the sacred engagement ring on your bride.”
He then saw him open the ring box after he took it from the ring bearer.
Pak!
With a small click , the exquisite blue velvet box was opened.
A large, pink diamond appeared before the people.
However, because of the shares and houses that were gifted earlier, the guests were not really shocked by the pink diamond in the man’s hand.
After all, no matter how expensive it was, the ring could not compare to the two-percent shares.
Still, even though the guests on the floor were unaffected, Pei Ge, who was standing opposite of the man, was stunned.
Staring at the heart-shaped pink diamond, tears welled up in her eyes.
In that moment, the pink diamond was so eye-catching as it s.h.i.+mmered under the bright sun.
He did not say a lot of mushy sweet nothings, nor did he make promises like others did during their engagements.
He just took her hand gently as he stared at her intently.
“Pei Ge, I love you. Marry me.”
After he spoke, he put the ring on her finger.
His expression was so serious and so formal that she was dazzled.
It was just a simple statement, yet she thought that it was more moving than all the sweet nothings she had heard combined.
Feeling the ring on her fourth finger, she took a deep breath and forced back the tears in her eyes.
“Ziming, I love you, too. I am willing to be your wife,” she said, her voice cracking a little.
Raising her hand, she took the simple but elegant ring from the tray.
Soon, both had engagement rings on their fourth fingers. From then on, they were tied together by these rings.
From the floor, the guests stared at the couple on the platform enviously.
They had been to a number of engagement parties and weddings, but this was the first time that they had seen a couple like these two. The moment they stood next to each other, all of them could feel the intensity of the pair’s feelings.
“You may now kiss the bride,” said the emcee with a smile.
By the time the emcee finished speaking, the man had already lifted the woman’s veil.
When the veil that covered her visage was removed, the guests widened their eyes and wowed.
“Wow!”
“What a beautiful bride!”
“Young master Ji is blessed to have such a beautiful fiancée.”
“Was this woman so pretty before?”
The guests on the floor were all shocked in good and bad ways when they saw her flawless face.
They were not to be blamed, though, for she was indeed really beautiful today.
Even though she was standing next to the man, who was dressed for the occasion, she was not outs.h.i.+ned by him.
Listening to the ohs and ahs on the floor, she looked at the man with expectant eyes.
It was as if she were waiting for him to praise her.
Unfortunately for her, the man did not say anything. He stared straight at her.
Quietly and deeply.
He neither spoke nor moved, but his gaze made her squirm.
Just as his gaze succeeded in making her feel uncomfortable, and she was about to speak with her bright-red face, everything turned dark before her.
His flawless face was magnified in front of her, and before she could return to her senses, he kissed her on the lips.
“Mm!”
He pressed delved deep into her mouth.
She did not expect him to kiss her like this in front of so many people.
It was a pa.s.sionate French kiss, too.
The kiss was especially pa.s.sionate, as if to declare that she was his and only his. No one else was allowed to touch her.
She gradually lost herself in the kiss and had no more energy to think about other things.
Her brain turned to mush from his kiss and her body softened in his arms.
The guests widened their eyes as they watched the kissing couple.
Not only her, even the guests did not expect him to kiss her in public!
Everyone knew that the man was a cold and unapproachable leader, so none of them expected him to be this pa.s.sionate before them!
This was akin to a comet colliding with Earth! It was a shock to everyone!
After a while, the playboys, who had returned to their senses, began clapping and screaming.
“Ha ha! Honey, you’ve lost. Remember to buy me that global limited-edition Lamborghini!”
Madam Ji said to her husband as she joined in on the fun.
“I know.” Mister Ji looked at the woman sitting next to him and nodded with a smile.
“He he! Mothers know best! Of course, I know my son the best! This boy is so possessive. He’s in a hurry to marry Ge Ge. Now that he has the chance at the party, how can he not do something?”
She smiled and chatted with him as she distractedly took photos of her son and future daughter-in-law embracing on the platform.
Tsk, tsk, tsk!
Look at how handsome her son was and how pretty her future daughter-in-law was! They were really compatible with each other!
