Today, I'm Going to Spend the Billionaire's Hundred Million Again-Chapter 433: Too Sweet
"It’s just an engagement, look at you acting all smug, like you’ve already got the marriage certificate and changed your name." Shen Qiao pouted, "I’ll wait until the day you actually get married to change how I address you."
"It’s bound to happen soon enough." Shen Jue raised a brow but seeing Shen Qiao already pouting, he decided to drop the topic.
As they were nearing the Rong Family home, Shen Jue tried sending another WeChat message to Rong Qingqing, but once again the red exclamation mark appeared.
Shen Jue understood now, Rong Qingqing really had a temper, and jokes couldn’t be made at her expense.
She was becoming increasingly brazen.
Forty minutes later, the car stopped at the gate of the Rong Family’s villa, where Mr. Rong was already leading his family out to greet them.
Mr. Shen got out of the car and upon seeing his old friend, both men’s faces lit up with smiles.
When Shen Xingwei and Rong Jiaojiao got engaged, neither of them had smiled so happily.
"Grandpa Rong, where’s my Sister Qingqing? I don’t see her." Shen Qiao immediately asked about Rong Qingqing after getting out of the car.
"She was here just a moment ago." Mr. Rong looked around, "That mischievous girl, just a moment I didn’t watch her, and she’s already vanished."
After saying that, Mr. Rong called for the butler to find Rong Qingqing.
At that moment, Rong Qingqing happened to come out of the house, lifting her dress hem as she ran out.
"The mischievous one is here! I’m coming! I’m coming! No need to look!" Rong Qingqing waved as she ran over, "I just went inside to drink some water. After breakfast, I ate a grape, and it was overly sweet."
"On such a joyous day, wasn’t everything extra sweet for you? What could be sweeter than you?" Guo Lan was all smiles, amused by Rong Qingqing’s words.
After coming back, Rong Qingqing changed into a red dress, bought specially for the engagement today.
Red was a color that suited Rong Qingqing exceptionally well, making her look radiant and striking.
Perhaps because she’d stayed at Shen Manor for a long time and everyone was familiar, Rong Qingqing didn’t blush or feel embarrassed by Guo Lan’s teasing, instead she casually glanced around and her gaze naturally fell on Shen Jue.
Initially, she intended to wink at him as a greeting, but recalling the WeChat messages he had sent earlier, Rong Qingqing turned away, pretending not to see him.
The lively group entered through the doors, with Shen Manor’s butler and servants carrying generous betrothal gifts following them inside.
The Shen Family and Rong Family adhered strictly to traditions; even for engagements, the entire process followed convention. Nothing was skimped on from the engagement ceremony.
Once inside, Shen Jue went straight to find Rong Qingqing, who was surrounded by people congratulating her. Relatives of the Rong Family gradually arrived, as the day’s leading lady, Rong Qingqing had no time to spare.
Logically, Shen Jue should also be one of the people in the spotlight as today’s groom-to-be.
But unfortunately, Shen Jue’s fierce reputation preceded him, making most people shy away, coupled with his wheelchair-bound state, his face was stern and cold when silent, so no relatives from Rong’s side dared approach him for chit-chat.
Shen Jue couldn’t find an opportunity to talk alone with Rong Qingqing, watching her busy entertaining guests, not even sparing him a glance. Shen Jue’s face grew increasingly colder.
Who would have thought that on this engagement day, she would be this occupied.
If he’d known it would be like this, he should have kept things simple.
