Chapter 679: 185: Engagement scene, shining brightly!_5
At that moment, Jia Zhenzhen’s anger was completely dispersed by Mr. Abner.
She thought about having Shangguan Furong introduce her to Li Long.
At this moment, Shangguan Dehui brought Ni Cuihua to the fitting room.
“You go in and change. I’ll wait for you outside,” he said.
“Alright,” Ni Cuihua nodded.
The spare dress was identical to what Ni Cuihua was wearing, with a long zipper at the back. At home, it was Ni Yang who had helped her zip it up, but now, alone, she couldn’t manage, so she opened the door to ask for Shangguan Dehui’s help.
She opened the door slightly, “Can you come in and help me zip up?”
Shangguan Dehui was a bit taken aback at first, then said: “Alright.”
Upon entering, Shangguan Dehui immediately locked the door behind him.
“Ziip,” the zipper was pulled to the top.
Ni Cuihua turned, opened the door, “Let’s go. We should head out.”
At that moment, Shangguan Dehui leaned against the door, trapping Ni Cuihua between the door and him, looking down to her with a dominating vibe.
For a moment, Ni Cuihua felt as if she’d traveled back more than twenty years ago.

Shangguan Dehui’s gaze on her was the same ‘predatory’ look he had given her the first time they met.
Just as Ni Cuihua was about to say something, Shangguan Dehui leaned in for a kiss.
He had wanted to do this for a long time.
But he had been afraid of scaring her off, just as he had all those years ago.
Today, he had finally done something he had long wanted to, but had not dared to do.
“Let’s go,” Ni Cuihua opened the door.
“Wait a moment,” Shangguan Dehui asked hoarsely.
“What’s the matter?” Ni Cuihua asked with a puzzled look.
Shangguan Dehui picked up a lipstick from the dresser, “Touch up your makeup before we go.”
Ni Cuihua blushed as she took the lipstick and sat in front of the mirror.
Shangguan Dehui continued, “Are you using the lipstick I handed over today?”
“Yes,” Ni Cuihua nodded.
“Use it again next time.”
“Huh?” Ni Cuihua stared blankly.
“Leave me alone.” Ni Cuihua playfully shoved Shangguan Dehui, “Aren’t you too old to still be playing games?”
Shangguan Dehui squinted, “I was only twenty-one the year I met you. So this year, I’m at most twenty-two.”
From the day he met her, his age had become fixed.
Ni Cuihua broke into a light laugh.
About ten minutes later, the two finally left the fitting room.
The atmosphere in the main hall was lively.
Everyone had heard that Li Long was coming, so many people were now crowded round Shangguan Furong.
Everyone wanted to take this opportunity to get to know Li Long.
“Furong, are you really sure Li Long will come?” someone asked in disbelief.
Shangguan Furong smiled, “Why would I lie about something ? If he’s coming, you’ll all see him soon.”
Shangguan Furong had met Li Long at a dinner party, after talking she found out that Li Long had some connection with the Zhao family. At that time, she had even taken the chance to chat with Mr. Abner.
For this engagement ceremony, Shangguan Furong had also sent an invitation to Mr. Abner.
But she wasn’t sure if Mr. Abner would come, so she hadn’t mentioned it to anyone.
Mr. Abner was a proud man, who never gave face to the great families. If he didn’t come, wouldn’t it be a loss of face?
But Li Long would certainly come, because she had already arranged it with him.
Someone chimed in, “You said Li Long would come, but why hasn’t he arrived yet?”
Yeah, why? It’s nearly eleven o’clock.”
Just then, four figures walked in from outside.
The two people in the front were clearly a mother and son.
The two men trailing them were carrying lavish gifts.
Seeing these four, the bustling hall gradually quieted down.
The man in front, is that Mr. Abner?
Mr. Abner was different from Mr. Mog.
Mr. Mog kept a low profile and was mysterious, he never appeared in public, so nobody even knew his age.
But Mr. Abner was very high-profile, he often attended various cocktail parties, that’s why the people in the upper class circle knew him.
Shangguan Furong was ecstatic.
She never thought Mr. Abner would come personally to congratulate her!
“He really did come!”
“Furong! You’re incredible, not only did you invite Li Long, but also Mr. Abner.”
Although Mr. Abner’s influence was not as powerful as Mr. Mog’s, he was still no one to be taken lightly.
Moreover, Mr. Abner was a character that all the major families wanted to draw in, and yet he was subtly won over by Shangguan Furong!
Suppressing her inner excitement, Shangguan Furong adjusted her smile, walked up to the group, and said in fluent English, “Mr. Abner, you’re here. Please, this way.”
