An Yan was in a very good mood. The ring was fine, and there was even a new discovery.
This happiness lasted until the next morning, the day of their engagement.
Aside from those who had been given invitations, there were many people who had not received invitations but insisted on coming to the engagement ceremony.
Some of these people had contacted the Cheng family beforehand, while others were thick-skinned and came directly on the day.
Naturally, the Cheng family did not welcome these guests very well. But they could not be turned away on such a happy day, not to mention the fact that they had brought gifts with them.
Therefore, the banquet space, which should have been very ample, became a bit crowded because of the guests.
As a result, Cheng Lin had no choice but to have the maids set up the garden area as well, and she arranged for some of the guests to go there.
The garden area was not bad, but it was not the main venue for the engagement ceremony, and the Cheng family hardly ever went to that area. So the guests who were arranged there were only those who came uninvited.
The original intention of these guests was to make use of the engagement ceremony to get on good terms with the Cheng family for their own benefit, but they were sent straight to this area, and their plans were naturally foiled.
However, they came to the door uninvited, so they were not in any position to lose their temper even though they had been treated this way. They just pretended to be happy and chatted with the other guests around them, seizing the opportunity to build a network of interests for themselves.
The guests in the banquet hall were happy with this arrangement. Those people would have turned their targets to them once they found that the Chengs were not so easy to hook up with, which would have been an uncomfortable situation.
While the guests were happily chatting happily with each other and waiting for the engagement ceremony to begin, An Yan and Cheng Yi were changing into their second attire in the lounge.
Their first outfit had been worn to welcome the guests, and it was time for their second outfit since the guests had arrived.
The black, form-fitting suit on the young man’s body gave off an inexplicable air of forbidden desire, while also accentuating his slim waistline and adding a bit of allure.
Cheng Yi helped An Yan tidy up and took two steps back to take a closer look at him. He couldn’t help taking a deep breath. “I feel a little regretful.”
An Yan blinked in confusion, “What’s wrong? Is the outfit inappropriate for me? ”
“It’s too suitable, and it’s too striking and beautiful,” Cheng Yi’s fingertips fell on the fair face, then slowly moved down the inside of the collar to the back of his head. After a moment’s pause, he suddenly asked, “Can I kiss you?”
An Yan was stunned by the disjointed question. He looked around to make sure they were alone in the lounge before he blushed and nodded.
Then Cheng Yi bowed his head and kissed him.
It was when the door to the lounge was knocked on and Cheng Lin’s voice came in from outside that Cheng Yi reluctantly let go of his blushing little one and said, in a hoarse voice, “Let’s go.”
At 10:10 a.m, the engagement ceremony began.
They had rehearsed all the steps for the ceremony, and An Yan kept them in mind, fearing that he might make a mistake.
But no matter how careful he was, he was still a little confused when it came to the exchange of rings. It wasn’t that he had forgotten what to do at this part of the ceremony, but that Cheng Yi had not followed the normal procedure.
He had already put out his hand and was waiting for Cheng Yi to put the ring on it, but who knew that Cheng Yi would suddenly stop moving.
An Yan looked up at Cheng Yi in confusion and met the latter’s eyes, which were filled with affection and profound feelings.
“Yan Yan,” Cheng Yi clutched the ring in his palm, his voice soft and low, “although we are only engaged now, we have already entered the hall of marriage in my opinion. You are the partner I want to protect and love for the rest of my life. Do you think so too? ”
An Yan was stunned for a moment. Was this part in their lines before?
On the contrary, the guests off the stage smiled when they heard Cheng Yi’s words. Young people nowadays are really passionate and persistent in their relationships. They have just got engaged, but they already want to tie each down completely.
Cheng Lin wanted to laugh and cry. Her son usually looked cold and icy, so was his gentleness only towards Yan Yan?
Cheng Yi saw that his little one was not answering, and a trace of grievance flashed in his eyes: “Does Yan Yan not want to spend his life with me?”
An Yan came back to his senses and shook his head quickly, “Of course not.”
“Then will you let me be your lifelong companion and grow old with you?” Cheng Yi asked with some urgency, adding, “I vow to protect, accompany, cherish, and be faithful to you for the rest of my life.”
An Yan’s heart beat a little faster as Cheng Yi’s eyes were so focused and affectionate.
He could not hide from Cheng Yi’s gaze, so he could only open his heart to meet it.
They stared at each other for a few seconds. Cheng Yi’s gaze became increasingly nervous, and he even subconsciously held his breath until an extraordinarily bright smile slowly blossomed on An Yan’s face: “I do.”
These two words were spoken very softly, but they were so clear in Cheng Yi’s ears that his heartbeat was like a drum. Then he hugged An Yan and kissed him regardless.
There was a round of fierce applause from the stage, mixed with a little good-natured coaxing.
Everyone could see how much the young couple loved each other, and they also believed that such words were not just a promise, but something that would keep them going for the rest of their lives.
The applause continued on stage until Cheng Yi reluctantly let go of An Yan. But the applause soon resumed as they completed the most important part of the engagement ceremony, the exchange of rings.
The engagement ceremony was successfully completed, but the guests had not yet left. They could not just leave their guests behind as the main protagonists of the ceremony.
Cheng Yi pushed down the excitement and joy in his heart and dragged An Yan around the banquet hall, not so much to entertain them as to show off the fact that he and An Yan were engaged.
No, in his mind, they were already married.
Every time he interacted with the guests, Cheng Yi would deliberately take An Yan’s hand and shake it gently, showing the rings on their hands to the guests until they were blinded.
During the process, Cheng Yi’s face was accompanied by a bright smile that one wouldn’t normally see, making him look like a completely different person compared to his usual cool demeanor.
Everyone felt that this young man was so in love that goose bumps were coming out of their bodies, but they couldn’t help but wish these two young people happiness and prosperity.
It was already afternoon by the time they sent off the last guest.
Instead of feeling tired, Cheng Yi ran to the kitchen with great enthusiasm, intending to prepare a sumptuous dinner to treat his little one after a long day’s work.
Of course, this was not his ultimate goal. His ultimate goal was to feed his little one, and then feed himself.
He had been waiting for this day for a long time!
The rest of the Cheng family, as well as An Mu, saw through him and went out for a meal.
The servants were also given a day off. After cleaning up the banquet venue, they all left the Cheng family. Even Steward Liu consciously left on his own accord.
So, in conclusion, only Cheng Yi and An Yan were left in the Cheng family home.
An Yan didn’t know what he was about to face. But he was hungry after a long day, and Cheng Yi’s cooking skills were really good, so he ate a lot and was very full.
However, compared to An Yan, Cheng Yi ate much less. His eyes never left An Yan’s body during the meal, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that his eyes were green.
An Yan felt the strong line of sight, so he stopped and asked, “Senior, why are you looking at me like that? And why aren’t you eating? ”
Cheng Yi just smiled and shook his head, “I’m not hungry. You should eat quickly, we have important things to do after eating. ”
“What else do we have to do?” An Yan asked curiously. He thought that the engagement ceremony was already over.
However, Cheng Yi smiled lightly and did not say anything, only urging An Yan to eat his meal.
An Yan didn’t think much about it. He nodded obediently and ate his fill of the delicious meal.
After eating his fill, Cheng Yi did not rush to the bedroom, but accompanied him for a walk in the garden to cool off.
His little one had eaten too much and might not be able to bear it if they started exercising straight away.
Cheng Yi thought that he would be very anxious to pounce on the little one when the day came, but he was surprisingly very calm.
Ithe was not exactly calm, it was better to say that he was enjoying a wonderful prelude to a wish that was about to be granted.
The joy of a wish about to be granted, mixed with the instinctive excitement and nervousness of experiencing something like this for the first time, caused a flutter in his heart, making him even more cautious.
This was one of the most important moments in his life, and he had to be extra gentle in order to leave the best memories of the two of them. So he couldn’t rush or scare the little one.
Cheng Yi also told himself that this was the best state. Everything had to be as gentle as water. One minute too fast is too dry, one minute too slow is too light. So he should act calm when he finally gets the little one!
However, even though he made self-suggestions and convinced himself, he still failed to achieve this kind of mentality!
The beast inside Cheng Yi finally broke through the prison of reason, and he picked up his little one in his arms and rushed upstairs with incredible speed!
An Yan was startled by Cheng Yi’s actions and asked, “What…”
“Shh!” Cheng Yi directly interrupted An Yan’s words. The tone of his voice was fluctuating, and the emotions leaking out could not be controlled. His voice was low and dense with deep affection and eagerness, “Yan Yan Yan, you’d better call me senior later.”
The heavy door was pulled open and quickly closed again. A few muffled sounds occasionally escaped from inside, but no one could peek at the beautiful scenery in the room.
The night was still long for them….
