Chapter 627: Chapter 627: Proposal 1_1
Ye Shiting wouldn’t publicly announce such matters until they were certain, so he didn’t respond to Yi Yujian. When the host invited him to the stage, he didn’t elaborate much, but simply delivered a brief opening speech at the banquet before formally announcing Xia Yanyan’s marriage.
Standing before a standing microphone, holding Xia Yanyan’s marriage application, and facing more than five hundred guests present, he unveiled the marriage application: “…There is some good news here. Our national treasure has finally found someone special and has submitted her marriage application. Now, allow me to reveal the answer.”
Indeed, a large number of guests were interested and all eyes turned to the stage. They listened closely, waiting.
Ye Shiting opened the marriage application, looked at the name on it and said, “Congratulations, Mr. Harry Perry, you have captured the heart of our National Treasure. Are you willing to accept her as your other half?”
Wow, the applause was deafening. As everyone had speculated, Xia Yanyan had indeed filled in Harry Perry’s name on her marriage application.
Many women who knew the inside story could not help but cast envious gazes at Xia Yanyan. Being the national treasure gave her the privilege to choose from the finest suitors. Despite not getting the attention of Ye Shiting, she had plenty of other men to choose from.
Harry Perry, the second son of the Perry family, impressive in both financial and social power, and also the brother of Lawson Perry.
Although Lawson Perry lost to Ye Shiting in this Presidential election, he still has opportunities for the future. Perhaps in the next Presidential election, Lawson might even have a chance at the Presidency. Looking at it in the long run, Harry Perry was indeed the best choice for the National Treasure.
Harry Perry elegantly got up from his seat with a charming smile. He didn’t immediately answer, but under the watchful eyes of everyone present, he walked towards the stage.
Upon reaching Ye Shiting, Harry Perry shook hands with him before standing at the microphone. Of all the many guests, his eyes instantly found Xia Yanyan. Across the distance, he conveyed his affection: “I wish to answer this question in person. Yanyan, come to the stage.”
Xia Yanyan rose. She reveled in the feeling of being the center of everyone’s attention.
Her smile was seductive and captivating. Wearing eight-centimeter high heels, she gracefully walked towards the stage, like a dazzling heroine, towards Harry Perry.
At this moment, it seemed like she and Harry Perry were the stars of the banquet, while the actual main host, Ye Shiting, was merely there to facilitate the event. Ye Shiting didn’t seem to mind, but the expression of Yi Yujian, sitting in the audience, was far from pleasant.
Some even teased from the audience, “Wow, handsome man and beautiful woman, how envious!”
“What kind of good fortune did the second son of the Perry family hit upon that he captured the heart of the National Treasure? Say yes, say yes!”
“The only mermaid in the country, to think she would end up with the Perrys, they really lucked out. But importantly, they’ve got the power. The Perry family is rich in talented individuals, capable of nurturing such amazing men, fit to win a National Treasure’s heart.”
At this moment, Harry Perry on the stage, said to Ye Shiting, “Mr. President, could you please repeat the question? Thank you.”
These words only served to build up Yi Yujian’s displeasure, the more he watched, the more upset he became that his husband was acting merely as the host. He felt aggrieved and helpless.
As President, Ye Shiting would obviously not refuse his request. With a serious tone, he asked once again, “Mr. Harry Perry, do you wish to accept National Treasure’s marriage application. Will you accept her as your other half, cherish her, care for her, and look after her for the rest of your lives?”
