Capítulo 909: Chapter 909: [Extra] Meeting Is Already the Greatest Destiny
Gu Yubei’s gaze continuously followed Sheng Ning’an’s figure until she got into the car and left.
Then, Gu Yunnan’s abrupt voice sounded from the side, “Do you like her?”
Only then did Gu Yubei retract his gaze and say, “What are you talking about? She’s about to get engaged.” Fresh chapters posted on novel•fire.net
“As long as you know that,” Gu Yunnan glanced at his younger brother, then turned and went back to the office.
Gu Yubei raised his gaze once more to look in the direction where Sheng Ning’an’s car had disappeared. His fair fingers gently petted the orange cat in his arms, his handsome face calm, and after a moment, he smiled and looked away.
For some people, meeting is already the greatest fate.
The engagement day was getting closer and closer.
Every day, apart from attending classes, Sheng Ning’an was busy with the engagement party preparations.
Although the engagement party arrangements were primarily handled by the parents of both parties, she was the protagonist, and Mother Xu liked to discuss everything with her, from the decoration of the banquet venue to the design of the invitations, asking for her opinion.
It was the first time Sheng Ning’an realized there were so many things to do for an engagement party. She had previously organized birthday parties, even a coming-of-age ceremony, but none had as many arrangements as this engagement party.
The main thing was that Mother Xu was meticulous in everything, personally handling every aspect, afraid that anything less than perfect would wrong her.
Over the course of a month, Mother Xu had become thinner from all the work, yet her spirits were high.
This is probably what people mean when they say happiness invigorates the spirit.
Once they finally settled all the matters related to the wedding banquet, Mother Xu invited Sheng Ning’an to join her for a spa day.
The two changed into robes and lay on the beds as the beauticians skillfully applied essential oils to them.
A female technician familiar with Mother Xu massaged her back while saying, “Mrs. Xu, have you been very busy lately? It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you here, and I notice your shoulders and neck are a bit stiff.”
Mother Xu laughed and said, “Indeed, this period has been exhausting for me. It turns out that one becomes less capable with age; just a few days of busyness, and I’m worn out. I remember when I was younger, I could climb ten flights of stairs to collect rent without stopping.”
Then she turned towards Sheng Ning’an: “Fortunately, everything that needs preparing for the engagement party is ready. Next, we just wait for you two to have your wedding party. With this experience, next time we organize your wedding banquet, it should be easier.”
“Thank you so much for your hard work during this time.”
During this period, Sheng Ning’an had been running around with Mother Xu, booking hotels, choosing menus, finding wedding planners, selecting makeup artists… After running through the whole cycle, she felt exhausted, let alone the older Mother Xu.
“It is tiring, indeed. But as a mother, it brings joy. And you’ve also worked hard during this time.”
“Weiran is busy, and as parents, we naturally need to help out more. Just don’t blame him.”
Her son’s work was unique, he had been on leave recently, but he was almost never around these days. Mr. Xu was quite uninvolved in matters, so it was almost always this girl accompanying her and making decisions.
“Rest assured, I understand.” It’s not that Xu Weiran wasn’t involved; it’s just that his work timing was irregular, so he had less time to handle the engagement party matters.
“I know you’re a sensible girl. From the first time I saw you, I liked you. That boy finding you is like seeing smoke rise from the ancestral grave of the old Xu family,” Mother Xu thought of the first time she met the girl, and she hadn’t expected them to truly have such a connection.
It seems that everything is fated in the unseen world.
“I’m not as good as you say, Mother,” Sheng Ning’an was embarrassed by the praise.
