Although early spring was rather cold, it was still the day where life returned to earth .

Despite the cold, the hot-spring resort on the capital outskirts was unaffected at all .
The temperature here was akin to late spring – comfortable and warm . It gave one the urge to soak in the water .
Luckily, today, the sun was bright and the sky was clear .
Surveying each plant and tree in the area and then the clear blue sky above, Pei Ge only felt the warmth seep into her very core .
“You lass, what are you spacing out for? Hurry in . The guests have arrived . They are only waiting for you and Xiao Ji to appear . ”
Seeing that her daughter was spacing out and looking at the sky with a silly smile, Zhang Manhua could not help but roll her eyes .
“Ah, oh . Okay, I know . Don’t rush; it’s not even time yet!”
Pei Ge pouted . Although she was being scolded by her mother, she just kept smiling very happily .
It could not be helped, for today was her engagement party! Even if she got scolded, she could only be happy!
“You know; the program flow of this engagement party today is similar to that of a wedding . ”
Her mother pulled her hand and walked forward while muttering this .
“Yes, I know . ”
She could not help but say . It was clearly a simple engagement party, yet both mothers on either side insisted on making it this grand and complicated, as if it were a wedding ceremony .

“Don’t put up a black face because of your second uncle later, okay?”
Her mother slowly pulled her toward the engagement party venue .
She pursed her lips, feeling a little unhappy .
“Other than him… is there no other suitable person?”
She indignantly looked at her mother .
As it went according to a wedding arrangement, there was one step where the father must hold the daughter’s hand to walk her down the aisle .
Alas, her father had passed away long ago, so this person…
“Your second uncle is your dad’s closest kin . The others…”
Her mother smiled and did not continue .
“Don’t have a child temperament . Actually, other than cheating our family of money, your second uncle’s family truly treated us fine these few years . Moreover, since he took the initiative to apologize to us, we can’t be that cold-hearted . After all, he is still your father’s only blood-related little brother . ”
She nodded at this . While she understood her mother’s thought process, she still could not bring herself to forgive her second uncle for the things he had done to them .
“I understand, mom . Rest assured; today is the day that Ziming and I get engaged, so I don’t want to feel unhappy because of those people, too . ”
She assured her mother with a smile .

Her acquiescence made Zhang Manhua put down her worry .
As they got closer to the engagement venue, the romantic background music also became clearer .
“Wait . Let me put down your veil . ”
She suddenly stopped them from walking further .
Standing before her daughter, she looked at her tenderly . She then raised her hand and gently pulled the thin veil on her head over her face .
The long veil reached to the chest and partially covered her daughter’s features .
“As expected of my daughter, you’re so beautiful . ”
Her eyes twinkled under the lights and turned slightly red .
Hubby, today, our daughter is going to become someone else’s .
The mother-daughter pair soon reached the engagement party venue . Only then did the two realize how many people were there to attend this engagement party .
“Wow! So many people!”
She could not help but exclaim .
“Miss, madam, the engagement ceremony is about to begin . Let’s wait by that floral arch to enter .

Before the mother and daughter could exclaim in surprise any further, a pretty lady in a light green gown reminded them this .
This was when Pei Ge realized that a middle-aged man in a silver-gray suit was standing by the floral arch .
This man was none other than her second uncle, Pei Zhenghui .
“Let’s go, Ge Ge . ”
Her mother pulled her hand and led her toward this floral arch .
It must be mentioned that a lot of effort had been put into this grand engagement party .
Of course, it could also be said that this engagement party was designed by women .
That was because the overall feeling she got from this was: It was as enthralling as those places in fairytales .
Bright-green Bermuda carpets, colorful flowers, floral arches, a carpet with flower petals leading to the engagement podium – everything was so beautiful . Just the venue’s decor could make any woman be blissfully captivated .
Of course, as someone who was getting engaged for the first time, she was already captivated .
Still, when she saw her second uncle’s ingratiating smile, her mood was dampened a little .
“Ge Ge, let’s go . The host is already starting his speech . ”
His eyes lit up upon spotting them and spoke affectionately at her .
If one did not know and saw his affectionate and kind look, they might even think that he was her father .
“Mhm . ”
Lightly humming in reply, she coldly peered at him before she shifted her gaze on to Ji Ziming and the pastor holding the engagement . Eventually—
“Now, let’s invite our bride to enter…”
Although it was merely an engagement, a wedding march was being played here .
Everyone intuitively turned to look at the floral arch where the bride would enter upon hearing the wedding march .
In the end, they were all stunned!
“Ge Ge?”
He raised his arm to signal her to wind her arm around his to enter .
However—
She did not spare him a glance and took elegant strides forward on the carpet filled with flower petals .
Ziming, I’m here .
