  “Who is that?”


  “I saw him in the news before. It seems like he’s a prince from a certain country in Northern Europe.”


  “I heard that the Crown Prince invited him to attend his engagement ceremony. It’s clear how he appreciates Mu Qiqi.”


  “It’s worthwhile since we get to meet the prince…”


  “It’s obvious how much that little bride means to the crown prince. If not, why would he invite the prince?”


  An important and privileged guest had arrived. All of a sudden, the guests were jealous of Mu Qiqi.

  Sheng Xiao even brought Mu Qiqi along to greet the prince.

  “Oh, this bride is indeed beautiful. Xiao, you’re so lucky.” The prince took a glance at Mu Qiqi. Then, he gave Sheng Xiao his thumbs-up and started praising them.

  “Charlie, thank you for coming.” Sheng Xiao had prepared a throne to welcome that distinguished guest.

  Certainly, the mass media started taking photographs crazily. They even reported the whole scene. That was also when Grandpa Sheng learned about the trick which his grandson had used. The prince from another country came to attend Sheng Xiao’s engagement. But, his grandpa did not even appear during the ceremony. What a bad image it would create?

  At that moment, the rumors about Mu Qiqi became lesser among the guests. Grandpa Shen became much satisfied too.

  It was fine even if Grandpa Sheng did not attend the ceremony as they had another VIP guest there.

  Grandpa Sheng was angry at home. At last, he had no choice but to ask the driver to send him to the hotel.

  Seventh Sister saw Grandpa Sheng leaving the home. She could not help but stamp her feet angrily. She never thought that her grandpa would go to support that little girl.

  But, Sheng Xiao did not plan to wait for Grandpa Sheng.

  When the time came, the emcee started to get in position. The other guests also took their seats. Soon, it became quiet.

  Sheng Xiao led Mu Qiqi up the carpet which was covered with fresh white flowers. They walked all the way to the stage. At the same time, Sheng Xiao held his little wife’s hand. It was clear that he took each step firmly.

  At that moment, Grandpa Sheng arrived at the scene. He walked into the lawn with a crutch. He even greeted the others. “I’m sorry. I’m late because I’m not feeling well…”


  “Dad, let’s come and sit here.” Mama Sheng gestured for Grandpa Sheng to sit beside Grandpa Shen.

  “Old Sheng is here.”


  “So, does it mean that he is approved of this little granddaughter-in-law?”


  The guests saw Grandpa Sheng there. They understood his stand now. His appearance meant that he had approved of Mu Qiqi and her status. So, no one could question Mu Qiqi’s status from now on.

  Sheng Xiao stood on the stage and looked at his grandpa. It seemed that the battle between the grandfather and the grandson would begin that day.

  “Now, I’m going to announce that the engagement ceremony between Mr. Sheng Xiao and Miss Mu Qiqi begins now.

  “Please hold your hands and face each other.”


  “Today, I’m going to officiate the engagement in front of the newlyweds’ family and friends. I also want to congratulate the two of you. After getting to know each other and falling in love, you’re ready to step to another phase in your lives now. You’re going to be engaged to each other and you’re sure that your partner will be your future husband or wife…”


  ***

  After a long oath, the emcee suddenly threw a question to the guests.

  “Ladies and gentlemen, is there anyone who is against this engagement?”


  Nobody responded among the guests. Although Grandpa Sheng did not appear happy and he disliked Mu Qiqi, he would keep his promise since he had agreed upon it.

  “Good. I hope that the newlyweds are able to step into the marriage life in the future hand in hand.

  “Now, please exchange the token of your engagement.”


  In that instant, Fourth Sister brought a ring box to them. There were Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi’s engagement rings inside the box. Those were the engagement rings specially made for every child of Huang Yao. The newlyweds’ names were even carved on the rings.

  Sheng Xiao took out the ring from the box and held Mu Qiqi’s left hand solemnly. He put the ring on her finger and placed a soft kiss there.

  Moreover, Mu Qiqi took out the ring and put it on for Sheng Xiao carefully.

  The diamond rings shone brightly under the sunlight. At the same time, Sheng Xiao put his hand around Mu Qiqi’s slim waist and kissed her in front of everybody.

  The guests soon became excited. The emcee even smiled happily and said, “Congratulations to the newlyweds. The engagement ceremony has been completed successfully! Now, enjoy the romantic and beautiful party.”


  The engagement ceremony was carried out smoothly. It was because Charlie was there on Sheng Xiao’s side. On the other hand, Grandpa Sheng did not create any scene there. He took his seat willingly. But, Grandpa Shen did not seem quite happy about it while sitting beside Grandpa Sheng.

  “Old Sheng, we’re friends for so many years now. Why did you behave like that today?”


  “Old Shen, you’ve misunderstood me. I was feeling unwell just now. Qiqi is my granddaughter-in-law. Certainly, I look forward to her joining our family.”


  “I don’t think so.” Grandpa Shen sneered. Then, he got up. “I’ll go and greet my guests.”


  Grandpa Sheng was upset but he still maintained his smile in front of the guests, especially in front of the prince. He needed to appear nice and friendly.

  “According to Jianchuan’s norm, you need to dance with your dad later on. But, Qiqi, you don’t have to be afraid. Do you understand?” After the ceremony, Mama Sheng went toward Mu Qiqi and said to her carefully, “Old Sheng would not try to embarrass you on an occasion like this. He could not afford to be humiliated too.”


  “Mom, I understand.” Mu Qiqi nodded her head.

  Sheng Xiao gave his father a cold stare as he saw Papa Sheng walking toward them. He stretched his hand out at Mu Qiqi, “Come, Qiqi.”


  At first, Sheng Xiao did not want to follow the norm. But, Mama Sheng reminded him not to be reckless. Moreover, Qiqi was not a clay doll. She certainly could take that.

  Mu Qiqi looked at Sheng Xiao and gave him a consoling look. Then, she put her palm on Papa Sheng’s hand.

  But, Sheng Xiao did not want his father’s hand touching Mu Qiqi. So, he put his mother’s hand on Papa Sheng’s hand and said to him, “You can dance with your woman. I’ll dance with mine.” Then, he led Qiqi away to the center of the dance floor.

  “Why are you so narrow-minded?”


  “I can’t stand it.” Sheng Xiao hugged Mu Qiqi and whispered in her ear. “Don’t take off your dress so soon tonight.”


  “Why?”


  “You’ll find out later.” Sheng Xiao hugged his little one and started dancing in the middle of the dance floor.

  It was the first time they danced together. Clearly, Mu Qiqi was still not used to it. She rarely danced after she had learned to. But, it did not stop them from being close to each other. They united as one.

  It was such a beautiful scene. Most of the guests admired them greatly. At the same time, that scene also hurt a lot of people deeply, especially Seventh Sister and Shen Ruoyi. Moreover, it had not been easy for Shen Ruoyi to gain entry.
