Sweet Wife Arrives: Mr. CEO, Please Pamper Me-Chapter 558: V431: Engagement... (2000)

Feng Mansion.

In the bustling scene, the entire villa reached its peak due to Feng Chengjin’s arrival for the engagement arrangements.

Soon, he changed into a suit, and on the sunny March day, the emcee began to speak eloquently into the microphone about how the two met, how well-matched they were, and how the situations of the two families were such a perfect match, an ideal couple.

The ceremony was simple, yet necessary.

An engagement in a wealthy family is actually much like a wedding, just on a smaller scale, with fewer friends and relatives.

However, the influence of announcing the union of the two families was certainly something everyone was eager to witness.

The emcee spoke a lot of unnecessary words, covering all the essential points.

The two had clinked glasses with red wine, and after viewing the bride price from the Feng Family to the Qi Family.

Amidst the applause and blessings, those who understood began to exchange glances privately.

After all, considering the cash gifts and dowry exploded on the scene, as well as the various jewelry given to the bride, the Feng Family truly gave the Qi Family a lot, which made hearts race.

But then again, considering Feng Chengjin’s wealth and strength as the top family in Rong City, such a bride price was really not much...

What to make of it...

Though everything dazzled like a flowing spectacle in people’s eyes.

That faint anticipation for a significant show of sincerity in the bride price, yet it did not appear...

For instance, Feng Yi’s stock price, which has nearly doubled over the past two years, making people envious with its market value.

Even until the very end, not only did it fail to appear, but accompanied by the reading of the bride price, the initial level of amazement gradually turned into monotonous disappointment.

To the end, as the emcee finished reading, everyone realized there truly was no surprise, even the biggest cash gift barely exceeded the standard amount.

Each person had a clear understanding within themselves of the definition of this marriage.

Indeed, within this wealthy family, whether the marriage values the daughter-in-law, how much the groom’s family cares, how much the groom loves the bride, can truly be glimpsed through the bride price at the engagement banquet.

Those who are fond will lavishly spend, hoping to pamper their wife with a wedding worth billions.

Those who are indifferent will go by the book, as it is now...

Everyone is clever, seeing through things without mentioning them, each raising a glass with a smile, offering blessings.

Over there...

With the completion of the bride price reading, it was time for the last and most crucial part of the engagement banquet—the exchange of rings.

This exchange is not like the wedding exchange; at weddings, the groom gives the bride a female ring, and the bride gives the groom a male ring.

During engagements, it is entirely the opposite; the groom hands the bride a male ring, and the bride hands the groom a female ring.

This process is unproblematic, easing the exchange at the wedding, so everyone thought that after watching, they could end.

Including Feng Chengjin, who stood expressionless before the flower-filled backdrop wall, nonchalantly withdrew his hand after receiving Qi Shuya’s ring box.

But the next second, before he could let go, when everyone was ready to raise their glasses to celebrate the smooth completion of this "subtle yet extravagant" engagement banquet.

The emcee’s eyes mischievously turned around and smiled.

"Hold on, Mr. Feng, would you like to take a look at the ring in the box before speaking?"

Instantly, all eyes turned towards them, the ring in the box? Could there be something new?

Pausing, as Feng Chengjin opened it, everyone present understood.

Inside was a male ring, not a female ring, so... was this the highlight of the engagement?

The bride actually handed over a male ring, and the groom handed over a female ring, similar to the wedding process.

So instead of handing it over, why not wear it?

Should Feng Chengjin give Miss Qi the female ring in advance, showing the Feng Family’s regard and recognition of Qi Shuya as the daughter-in-law? Not waiting for the marriage, but fully welcomed into the Feng Family?

This turned the plot interesting.

Those who had been waiting for a highlight and were disappointed for a long time, now undoubtedly piqued their interest.

They all wanted to see if today’s pre-acknowledgment of the daughter-in-law plot would occur.

Whether Feng Chengjin, as rumored in the past two years, was aloof from women, pure-hearted, and had a cold, distant relationship with his girlfriend.

On the scene, Qi Shuya, slightly stunned by this extra arrangement, glanced at Feng Chengjin with some nervousness and anticipation.

Qi Shuya felt shy, while Li Zhi beside her smiled with satisfaction and joy...

Simultaneously, exchanging a reassuring glance with the old madam from the Qi Family.

Old Madam Qi looked at Feng Chengjin with ultimate satisfaction, nodding and smiling.

On stage, the emcee continued to smile, saying, "Oh, made a mistake. Mr. Feng and Miss Qi both received their own rings, so what should be done? Why not? Just wear it in advance?"

Pausing, seemingly fearing a breach of etiquette, added, "Wear it on the middle finger as an engagement sign."

Thus, without any error in words, everyone present tensely looked on, for indeed, wearing it on the middle finger for engagement was perfectly fine. Moreover, going along with it could further please the Qi Family and lift the pampering level of Miss Qi, which was indeed good.

After all, Feng Chengjin was knowledgeable about etiquette and wouldn’t embarrass anyone.

Everyone subtly concerned, thinking Feng Chengjin surely had to wear it?

However, Feng Chengjin’s face suddenly turned cold at this moment.

Not chilling to a terrifying degree, yet the nearest person, Qi Shuya along with the emcee, clearly felt it.

Qi Shuya froze briefly, lowering her eyelashes, while the emcee sensed a thorough chilling aura.

That constricting hostility.

Pausing again, Feng Chengjin’s lips faintly twisted in coldness, not causing the Qi Family embarrassment, but expecting him to follow the emcee’s thoughts was unlikely as well.

The emcee felt a cold sweat all over their forehead.

Feng Chengjin took Qi Shuya’s ring box, grabbed her hand, quickly slipping it onto her middle finger.

This action brightened the eyes of many present, and their hearts were pounding, was this... did President Feng truly value Qi Shuya?

Yet, the next moment, after finishing with Qi Shuya, when it was her turn.

He snapped his ring box shut, stuffed it into his pocket, and said, "That’s it, I’ll wear mine at the wedding." Then he turned and walked out of the flower wall, coldly and indifferently.
