The engagement party officially began quickly.
Tang Dou held her skirt and asked, "So, are you nervous?"
Sheng Ning’an smiled and said, "Not nervous."
Wasn’t this girl a bit anxious a while ago? She felt that her relationship with Xu Weiran was too smooth, as they never argued, which was a bit abnormal.
Has she managed to adjust so quickly?
Apparently, that nightgown was not given in vain.
"Maybe the nerves have passed, and now I don’t feel much of anything."
When she first decided to get engaged, she indeed felt a bit lost, unsure if getting engaged now was too hasty. However, preparing for the engagement party and being busy with all sorts of things alleviated her anxiety.
Maybe it’s because the feelings are right, or maybe she has more confidence in the future. Anyway, she really doesn’t feel too nervous now.
"Makes sense, getting engaged to someone you love definitely gives more happiness than nervousness. Alright, if you’re ready, let’s go out. I suppose your family must be waiting impatiently."
Getting engaged isn’t like getting married, there’s not much ceremony, so you can head out once ready.
At this moment, at the engagement party venue.
Guests were seated at tables as the Sheng Xu families entertained their respective guests.
A Bentley Bentayga appeared at the hotel entrance.
The car door opened and a striking figure emerged, a woman with her long hair pinned up, dressed in a cobalt blue suit, looking smart and sharp, truly queen-like.
Though time left some traces on her face, it added a deeper beauty forged through the years.
The woman glanced at the hotel before walking inside.
The rhythmic sound of her high heels on the ground radiated a powerful, commanding presence. Newest update provıded by 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩
Upon entering the hotel, she drew quite a bit of attention.
The woman scanned around, her gaze finally settling on Shen Zhaozhao’s face as she walked towards her.
Under the surprised stares of others, she took off her sunglasses and said with a smile, "Long time no see."
Shen Zhaozhao was stunned for a moment but quickly recognized her, a look of joy crossing her face. Then she smiled and corrected, "No, now I should call you President Jiang."
Saying this, she extended her hand and said, "Welcome back to the country."
Jiang Nian also extended her hand and embraced the other as she said, "Congratulations, you’re just about to become a mother-in-law."
Shen Zhaozhao was surprised to see Jiang Nian at her daughter’s engagement party.
It had been over twenty, nearly thirty years since they had last met. Though they occasionally kept in touch through texts and emails over the years, they hadn’t met once.
"You are still as beautiful as ever after all these years."
Jiang Nian observed her, noticing that apart from losing any youthful naivety, her maturity and poise had developed gracefully, with time seemingly lavishly favouring her, leaving almost no traces on her.
Her features looked just the same as many years ago, with hardly any change.
"You look quite different; your whole aura has changed, I almost didn’t recognize you." Shen Zhaozhao also observed her.
Over these years, Jiang Nian had been abroad focusing on her career, remaining single till now. Though nearing fifty, she maintained a youthful disposition.
Back when Shen Zhaozhao and Sheng Chuyi got married, Jiang Nian was abroad and couldn’t return.
Now, almost thirty years later, she finally set foot on this land again.
The first thing she did upon returning was attending their daughter’s engagement party.
