“Engagement?!”

At the weekend gathering, Tang Xiao jolted after hearing about Su Rui’s engagement party invitation. “You and Gu Yu Cheng are getting engaged?!” Tang Xiao exclaimed with her eyes widened. Seeing that on Tang Xiao’s face, Su Rui’s mouth twitched slightly.

“Yu Cheng and I both attended the blind date with the intention of getting married, so if we do end getting married, there’s no need to be so surprised, right?” Su Rui calmly stated glancing at Tang Xiao.

“Yes, yes, yes. Both of you are a match made in heaven. You were meant to get married anyways” Tang Xiao agreed and glared at her. Then she couldn’t help but added, “But aren’t you going too fast?”

I thought that they would at least wait till after Su Rui graduated to get married? It wasn’t just me, but also those in their or the business circle who are optimistic about the marriage, probably had the same thought. But no one had expected that these two would be so…

“Hehe.” Looking at Su Rui’s smug face, Tang Xiao glanced around and leaned in, lowering her voice, “It can’t be that your Chairman Gu’s old house is on fire^[1] and he can’t wait any longer, right?”

Hearing Tan Xiao’s words, Su Rui’s face flushed. “Tang Xiao Niu, as a plastic best friend, I need to remind you that you are also a girl.” Is it really good to “know” so much?

Su Rui glanced at Tang Xiao and added, “Moreover, we are only getting engaged.”

Regarding the engagement between her and Gu Yu Cheng, she didn’t know what was discussed when her parents and Gu Yu Cheng’s parents sat down for a meal together. Anyhow, the matter was considered decided and the decision was final.

The engagement date was said to have been calculated by a powerful master that both their mothers had found. It was on the 7th of next month at a mountain resort belonging to the Su family.

According to Su Rui and Gu Yu Cheng, their engagement party will mainly consist of relatives from both sides, as well as some close friends. It would not be a business-like engagement party.

At first, Su Rui thought it would be quite simple. It wasn’t until she was dragged along by Mother Su all morning that Su Rui discovered that there were many other things to pay attention to in an engagement.

Even if the most trivial and complicated matters were taken over by Liu Yue and Yu Jing, both very excited and enthusiastic regarding the engagement, there were still quite a few things that needed to be prepared by Su Rui and Gu Yu Cheng.

“Oh.” Tang Xiao nodded hearing Su Rui’s words.

Taking a swig of the orange juice, she looked up at Su Rui, “Then, I want to be the bridesmaid, and I want a beautiful, fairy type bridesmaid dress. A long dress, not skirts!”

“Pfftt…” Even though she had become accustomed to Tang Xiao Niu’s exuberant manner of speech, Su Rui still couldn’t help but laugh.

“I’m sorry to tell you that there are no bridesmaids in an engagement party.” Su Rui smiled.

“But you can dress beautifully on that day. I will arrange a front row seat for you and make sure that you will be the prettiest pup in the room.” Su Rui winked at Tang Xiao.

“Fine.” Tang Xiao agreed ‘very reluctantly’ hearing Su Rui’s words.

“Then, is there anything else I can help you with?”

“Yes, there is.”

“What is it? Don’t hesitate.” After a pause, Tang Xiao calmly stated, “Anyway, my major doesn’t have an exam and my final project has also been done relying on the team leader, so I’m free now.”

Tang Xiao Niu, if you didn’t say the last sentence, I would think you really are exceptionally cute!

“Then accompany me this afternoon to pick out some clothes.” Tang Xiao’s eyes lit up when she heard Su Rui’s words.

Buying clothes!

“Sure, sure!”

“Uh, it’s for Gu Yu Cheng.” Su Rui couldn’t help but remind her seeing Tang Xiao’s exhilarated face that showed #Coincidentally, I am lacking clothes in my closet.

“Huh, why are you buying them for him?” Tang Xiao’s expression changed to #I think men do not require clothes.

“This is an engagement tradition.” It was not surprising that Tang Xiao did not know about this since Su Rui had also found out after searching about engagement matters. She also heard her mother emphasize it again later.

Su Rui was assertive and decisive when choosing clothes for herself but when it came to choosing clothes for Gu Yu Cheng, she had no idea. During the past couple of days, the studio recommended by her mother had sent over a few design styles. Unfortunately, Su Rui couldn’t make up her mind. The more one tries to choose the best, the more one would end up picking the worst. Therefore, Su Rui decided it would be better to find a dog-headed warlord to help her make the decision.

“So there is such a custom.” Tang Xiao nodded her head and winked towards her, “Then you have chosen the right person to accompany you. I helped my elder brother choose a lot of his clothes before. Didn’t you notice? My elder brother is usually better dressed than your Chairman Gu.”

Su Rui: I did not, Gu Yu Cheng is the best, and I refuse to accept anything else.

“Ay…” Tang Xiao thought of something and let out a long sigh suddenly.

“Miss Tang, what’s wrong?” Su Rui furrowed her brows looking towards her.

“Nothing.” Tang Xiao waved her hands, “I just thought that now when Chairman Gu is going to be mar… Oh no, engaged. I wonder how many girls’ hearts are going to break.”

“Then, you are thinking too much.” Su Rui said grimly looking at Tang Xiao. What are you trying to imply with a look that a huge pork was overtaken by a white cabbage?

But it’s highly likely what Tang Xiao said would happen. Talking about Gu Yu Cheng’s appearance, if he was in the entertainment industry, he would have countless girlfriend and wife fans. The type of fans that once he starts dating would stop being his fans.

Unfortunately, Gu Yu Cheng was a businessman. The value of his appearance was second to that of his achievement and wealth. If one were to say the three words “Gu Yu Cheng”, most people would first think of his wealth and success in the business world, and not on how handsome or attractive he is. Therefore, there are many people who secretly admire Gu Yu Cheng and dream of becoming him, but there are very few fangirls^[2] with ‘hearts’ to break. Even if there were a few, it wouldn’t matter, as Gu Yu Cheng is not afraid of ‘losing fans.’

“Not really, you see Siria, er, I mean that Bai, doesn’t she keep thinking about your Chairman Gu?”

In fact, the reason behind rumors regarding Gu Yu Cheng and Bai Xin Yu dating at an early age was not based on their imagination^[3]. Now that she thought about it, wasn’t it during then that Bai Xin Yu occasionally chatted with her female classmates, and would intentionally or unintentionally expose that she and Gu Yu Cheng had something going on, which led to other people’s crazy imagination? If someone said that Bai Xin Yu wasn’t interested in Gu Yu Cheng, Tang Xiao wouldn’t believe it.

Moreover, if she wasn’t still thinking about him, why would Bai Xin Yu, a big celebrity, go to the Gu Company that day with no reason whatsoever and just wait for him downstairs?

“Bai Xin Yu?” Hearing Tang Xiao mention this, her gaze moved a little.

It was true that Bai Xin Yu felt something for Gu Yu Cheng, which, without even using a woman’s sixth sense, could be seen by Su Rui.

However, Gu Yu Cheng was so outstanding that it was normal for the opposite sex to appreciate him. In this regard, Su Rui doesn’t take the other person too seriously.

After all, a man can have a good personality, family background, ability, looks and countless plus points. However, in the eyes of a regular and upright woman, once the man is labelled as ‘married’, then all his points would be multiplied by zero.

Su Rui didn’t really know what kind of person Bai Xin Yu was, but looking at her appearance, she guessed she wouldn’t be too strange.
