Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 96 - 94 It’s Time to Let Everyone Know

No wonder.

It was indeed a gift from someone else, but... someone I know?

Tang En’en asked in surprise, "Who? Do I know them?"

Jiayi looked at her firmly, "Yes, you’ve met him. He’s my... cousin."

It was a gift from Jiayi’s handsome cousin?

Tang En’en felt her world spinning. Jiayi’s cousin... was that extravagant?

Just as she was about to press for more details, a master of ceremonies took the stage nearby, microphone in hand, and said:

"The Huo Group anniversary celebration begins. Please, all guests gather this way. First, let’s invite our group’s CEO to come up and give a speech."

On the stage, a tall and elegant figure stood behind the display.

The man was young and handsome, with an air of nobility in his brows and eyes that suggested the grandeur of an emperor, commanding the respect of everyone present. Standing in front of the microphone now, his voice was magnetic yet steady:

"Welcome to the Huo Group’s anniversary celebration."

His concise yet powerful opening statement elicited thunderous applause from the audience.

The moment that familiar figure stepped onto the stage, Jiayi’s palms began to sweat. The few sips of alcohol she had just taken seemed to take effect, making her face burn with heat.

Her head started to feel dizzy.

The spotlight was shining on the man.

Tang En’en couldn’t believe her eyes; she rubbed them and looked again, then covered her mouth, "This is... how can it be..."

Jiayi’s cousin?

The one who took Jiayi from Qiangui and also went to the hospital to see Jiayi?

She gasped, turned her head to look at Jiayi, and thought, "Oh my god, could it be that my friend here is the cousin of the CEO?"

Jiayi truly felt guilty for keeping it a secret from En’en all this time. At first, she didn’t know how to explain.

As time went on, it became even harder to speak up; she didn’t want Tang En’en to think she was dishonest and deceitful.

Because she didn’t want to lose Tang En’en as a friend.

She didn’t realize how much she had failed before, only feeling that her past must have been cold and colorless, with hardly any friends. Otherwise, why wouldn’t anyone come to see her?

So, for her, Tang En’en’s arrival was like a divine gift.

Jiayi held Tang En’en’s hand tightly, the sweat seeping from her palm letting Tang En’en feel her discomfort.

Tang En’en realized that she must have her own difficulties.

At this moment, the brief opening speech for the anniversary on stage had already concluded.

The man’s deep, magnetic voice spoke out again:

"... Hosting this banquet on the island, inviting corporate elites and societal luminaries, is not only for the anniversary of the group but also for another significant matter."

The audience held their breath, all eyes fixed on the man on stage, majestic as a celestial being.

Even the master of ceremonies, who was about to take the microphone, paused, unsure of what the CEO was about to say.

Samuel stood at the very front, just below the stage, revealing a playful smile.

Jiayi was still hoping En’en wouldn’t be angry, her eyes locked on Tang En’en and not feeling the sudden shift in the atmosphere, until the voice from the stage reached her:

"Today is the anniversary of the Huo Group, a meaningful day, and it is also the day of my engagement feast. For the next three days, my fiancée and I will be hosting you all."

It was like a wave suddenly breaking over the banquet, causing an uproar.

What a major surpriser!

The cold and distant CEO of Huo Group who rarely approached women and hadn’t had a formal girlfriend in years was actually getting engaged?

Who was she?

Why hadn’t there been any hint or news at all? Was she hidden too well?

The people present all looked around, searching for the mysterious lover whom Huo Zhenyang had kept tightly under wraps.

In the crowd, Mu Qingran’s face turned pale, he was actually going to get engaged to that woman out of the blue...

The gaze of the man on stage drifted down, like the scorching spotlight, landing squarely on the young woman in a light green dress below.

Jiayi belatedly came to her senses.

Engagement? Today? Right now?

The handsome man in a black tuxedo had already descended the stairs, striding over like a prince from a fairytale who had braved all obstacles to win his beauty at last.

Under the focus of all eyes, Huo Zhenyang lifted her delicate hand, slipping a diamond ring onto the middle finger of her left hand, the traditional spot for an engagement ring.

She was stunned; that day at Huo Garden during dinner, he had mentioned to the old man about getting engaged to her, but she hadn’t expected that he had already planned it for today.

With her ringed finger lightly touched, Jiayi hadn’t snapped out of it yet, when Huo Zhenyang, in front of everyone, wrapped his arm around her slim waist, partially pulling her into his embrace, bowed his head and gently brushed the girl’s soft hair, facing the crowd with eyes brimming with an incomparable tenderness:

"This lady here is my fiancée, currently an employee of the Huo Group’s secretarial department. I’ve hidden her from everyone for a while because I didn’t want her to become a public figure and get hurt by external influences. But now, it’s time for everyone to know."

The girl in his arms looked like an exquisitely innocent angel in a green dress, exuding an aura that, in the eyes of the onlookers, had already won her the whole world while nestled in the embrace of the tall and majestic man.

Colleagues from the group who knew Jiayi couldn’t help but be astonished, privately wondering - it was her, it was actually her.

Yue Lan and Xue Xiaoying turned pale in an instant; who would have thought the new colleague they’d disliked and been jealous of from the very first day was actually the president’s woman?

What’s there to be jealous of now? She was already one of their own.

After a moment, a wave of applause erupted from the crowd, along with endless congratulations.

Samuel shot a look over, and the person he had arranged earlier pushed out the engagement cake trolley and the champagne tower.

Sweet and romantic waltz music filled the air.

"Baby, what is it, too surprised? Shouldn’t you be putting the engagement ring on me now?" Huo Zhenyang said with a light smile, placing the satin ring box into the stunned Jiayi’s palm.

Surprise?

This man always acted with authority, never consulting with anyone in advance.

Engagement? Had he asked for her opinion?

But why didn’t she feel like refusing at all?

His voice held a bewitching charm that compelled her to take out the ring and slowly move it towards his long middle finger.

Halfway on, the cheers and applause grew louder, her cheeks reddened more and more, and her legs began to go weak, especially under his intense gaze, she felt even less steady.

Finally, the men’s ring was fitted onto his finger by her delicate and inexperienced hands.

But her vision dimmed, unable to resist the effect of the alcohol, the world spun and her petite body slid down his arm.

Such a lightweight drinker, really...

Huo Zhenyang’s handsome brow furrowed with a mix of helplessness and indulgence, bending his lips into a smile. He immediately scooped her up into his arms amidst the astonishment of the crowd, his eyes mischievously lifted, with an indescribable doting tone: "The little girl just had a bit to drink and doesn’t handle alcohol well, so it’s inconvenient for her to continue hosting, everyone please enjoy yourselves."

With that said, the man turned and carried the girl towards the Seaview Villa at the back.

Samuel chuckled, daring to faint from drinking too much at the grand engagement party of the formidable young Huo, probably only this sweetheart could manage that.
