Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 1116 - 1094: Today’s Engagement, Cancelled!
Many guards and bodyguards were layered upon layer, standing on both sides of the entrance.
This was the hotel where Beijing’s political figures often held banquets. Today was also the engagement day for the Ning Family and the Gan Family.
In the splendidly decorated hotel banquet hall, the guests were already seated, waiting for the officiant to officially announce the engagement.
Ning Xiaochuan and General Gan were sitting at the main table below the stage, their faces full of joyful anticipation, waiting for the exciting moment to come.
The time had come.
A man in a custom-made suit, with a graceful and noble demeanor and extraordinarily handsome features, appeared arm in arm with a girl in an elegant and noble white engagement dress.
Like a golden couple born to be together, the appearance of Nie Yixiao and Gan Ying caused a stir among the attendees.
This young master from the Ning Family was truly a dragon among men in both appearance and demeanor, making people admire him!
Many guests with daughters of marriageable age secretly regretted not courting the Ning Family’s eldest son before the Gan Family did.
"The young master of the Ning Family and the young lady of the Gan Family are truly a perfect match. Now I understand what it means to be pleasing to the eye!"
The murmurs of admiration from the guests rose and fell.
"In the presence of all distinguished guests, Mr. Nie Yixiao and Ms. Gan Ying will complete the engagement ceremony today."
The officiant began to recite the vows in a loud voice.
Gan Ying shyly faced the man as handsome as a celestial being. After exchanging rings, this Ning Family’s young master, envied by countless girls in Beijing, would be her fiancé and soon her husband.
Ning Xiaochuan watched the couple on stage with excitement when suddenly his close assistant rushed over with a phone, bending down to hand it to him: "Director, someone is looking for you."
Who would be looking for him during such an important occasion?
Ning Xiaochuan frowned and took the phone, saying "Hello" twice, when his expression suddenly changed slightly. He seemed a bit incredulous, stood up abruptly, discreetly covered the phone’s mouthpiece, and walked out of the banquet hall into a secluded corridor to take the call.
Beside him, General Gan and the guests were entirely focused on the couple on stage, not noticing Ning Xiaochuan leaving to take a call.
On stage, as the officiant finished the vows, smilingly saying, "Now, let us witness this sacred solemn moment as Mr. Nie and Ms. Gan exchange engagement rings—"
Nie Yixiao’s sharp eyes flashed slightly, with a hint of mysterious light, lacking the tenderness towards his future fiancée. Mostly, it seemed like he was just completing a task, yet without any hesitation, he decisively took out the diamond ring from the satin box.
Gan Ying’s face was flushed as if it were bleeding, her fair and delicate fingers lifted, waiting for the man to place the promise ring on her.
Suddenly! Rapid footsteps entered the banquet hall, and a voice stopped them: "Wait a minute!"
The guests were shocked and turned to see who stopped the engagement—it was Ning Xiaochuan.
He had just returned from the corridor, his face pale, with sweat still on his forehead.
Gan Ying was extremely surprised, and Nie Yixiao also looked down from the stage with confusion.
General Gan and his son Gan Jinhong stood up in shock and said, "Director Ning, what happened?"
Ning Xiaochuan seemed reluctant, but ultimately bit his lip and announced publicly, "Today, the engagement cannot proceed!"
"Cannot proceed? What do you mean?" General Gan’s face turned red with anger.
Gan Ying began to tremble.
Ning Xiaochuan persisted, "I apologize, please everyone go home. Thank you for attending the engagement ceremony of my son and Ms. Gan. General Gan, anyway, today’s engagement is temporarily canceled! I will explain the details later."
General Gan was so furious that he pounded the floor with his dragon-headed cane: "You Ning Family get engaged when you want and cancel when you want, how is this reasonable! Director Ning, are you disregarding my Gan Family?"
Ning Xiaochuan wiped his sweat but remained steadfast: "General Gan, I deeply apologize. I will personally visit to apologize later, but today, Yixiao and Ms. Gan can’t get engaged! I believe, if the groom is unwilling, you won’t forcibly send Ms. Gan to our Ning Family, right?"
General Gan became furious: "What do you mean by that?"
Gan Jinhong also retorted angrily: "Director Ning’s status has indeed risen in Beijing over the years, but our Gan Family is not easy to bully either!"
...
At this moment, Gan Ying was feeling extremely wronged, losing face in front of everyone, and cried out as she ran out of the banquet hall.
Afraid his delicate daughter might do something rash, General Gan also left with his family in haste, not bothering to argue further with Ning Xiaochuan!
The guests, too, sensibly began to leave one by one.
Soon, the once lively and romantic engagement scene was left deserted, only the Ning Family remained.
Wu Huiyun and Ning Duoduo finally came to their senses, looking at Ning Xiaochuan with astonishment.
Nie Yixiao showed no emotions towards the cancellation of the engagement, but uncertainty shrouded his eyes, his gaze fixed on Ning Xiaochuan.
Ning Duoduo finally reacted, her mouth nearly dropping as she was the first to speak: "Dad, why was the engagement ceremony suddenly canceled? Did something... happen?"
Although she couldn’t say she was happy about her brother’s engagement to Gan Ying, she hadn’t expected such a dramatic pause in the engagement!
Wu Huiyun also walked over in surprise, asking, "Xiaochuan, what exactly is going on? Why was the engagement suddenly called off?"
Her husband valued face above all; he wouldn’t cancel the engagement and risk ruining relations with the Gan Family unless it was for a highly significant reason.
Ning Xiaochuan didn’t answer, he just took a deep breath and looked at Nie Yixiao: "Yixiao, go back home right now."
Nie Yixiao had never seen Ning Xiaochuan so nervous and did not ask further, stepping down from the stage and out of the hotel, driving swiftly towards the Ning Mansion.
Upon returning to the mansion, after parking the car, he noticed the unusual atmosphere immediately.
The servants’ faces bore traces of undispersed shock.
"What’s going on here?" His tone was cold and resonated throughout the living room with a sudden chill.
Aunt Xia came over and quietly said, "Young Master, you should check your room."
He remained silent, taking large strides upstairs and forcefully pushed open his bedroom door, then halted completely in shock!
On the king-sized bed, there appeared the silhouette of a beautiful and petite girl.
The silhouette was so familiar!
Was it Qiao Yongyong—?
She was wearing a casually fitted T-shirt and a pair of short denim shorts, lying peacefully on his bed as if at home, her breathing even and seemingly asleep.
How could she be in the Ning Mansion?!
Did Ning Xiaochuan cancel the engagement because of her sudden arrival?
Nie Yixiao didn’t know what method she had used, but his face changed as he strode forward, grabbing the sleeping Little Demoness:
"Qiao Yongyong, wake up! Why did you come here? What have you done?"
