At night, Qin Xue tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.

Zhou Chenyi heard a rustling sound and reached out to press the night light on the bedside table.

"What's wrong, Xiaoxue, are you feeling unwell?"

Zhou Chenyi reached out and touched Qin Xue's forehead.

Fortunately, no fever.

Qin Xue huddled in the quilt and whispered in a muffled voice, "No, I have insomnia."

"Insomnia?"

Zhou Chenyi remembered that after he took her on a trip to relax, her sleep quality improved a lot and she no longer suffered from insomnia.

"Are you worried about the engagement party tomorrow?"

"Ah."

Although she behaved normally during the day, chatting and laughing with He Siyi while trying on dresses.

But when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, I had a lot of things to think about, my emotions got aroused, and I started to suffer from insomnia.

"I don't know those people, and they are all from wealthy families. My background..." Qin Xue hesitated to speak.

Although she didn't finish her words, Zhou Chenyi understood what she meant.

He reached out and pulled Qin Xue into his arms, then gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead.

"It's okay, I'm here."

Qin Xue remembered what Song Ning said, that her family and the Zhou family were old friends.

"Will Song Ning come?"

Zhou Chenyi paused and said, "Given the friendship between the Song family and my family, my mother will definitely send an invitation to the Song family. I don't know whether Song Ning will come, but someone from the Song family will definitely come."

Qin Xue said "Oh" softly.

"Don't worry, Xiaoxue. Stay with me tomorrow. No one will dare to bully you when I'm around."

Qin Xue lay in Zhou Chenyi's arms and called his name softly.

"Zhou Chenyi."

"Ok?"

"Are we really going to get married?"

"of course."

His answer was like a tranquilizer.

Qin Xue stopped having wild thoughts, closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep.

……

The engagement party was held in a beautiful and luxurious garden hotel.

Fu Yun directly booked the whole place.

On the 28th floor of the hotel, in the executive suite.

Zhou Chenyi circled Qin Xue and stood in front of the mirror.

"it's beautiful."

The man placed delicate kisses on the back of the girl's neck and collarbone.

"The neck is bald, it's almost something."

He took out the necklace that he had bought at a high price and put it on Qin Xue himself.

Qin Xue in the mirror was wearing a light pink one-shoulder long dress, big wavy hair, and a valuable pink diamond necklace around her neck. She looked noble and elegant, like a princess from a fairy tale.

Zhou Chenyi stood behind her, his eyes fixed on the mirror.

"Little princess, welcome to my world."

Qin Xue smiled.

Zhou Chenyi took her hand and said, "It's almost time, let's go downstairs."

"it is good."

Fu Yun attaches great importance to this engagement party.

Although she wanted to keep a low profile and didn't invite many guests, she spent a lot of money and everything was the best.

Champagne, delicacies, and famous bands were all there.

After the engagement ceremony, Zhou Chenyi took Qin Xue to meet the elders one by one.

Her son's lifelong event has been settled, and her daughter-in-law is very satisfied. Fu Yun is in high spirits and has a great time chatting with the guests.

"Our Xiaoxue is still young, so let's get engaged first. It won't be too late to let her date Chenyi for a year or two before getting married."

A graceful woman smiled and asked Fu Yun: "Ah Yun, your daughter-in-law is so beautiful. How old is she this year?"

The woman was Fu Yun's cousin's wife. She had a good relationship with her and they often played mahjong and chatted together.

Fu Yun said vaguely: "He is still young, and a college student. My Chenyi is so lucky. He is really lucky!"

The woman did not ask further questions, but just smiled and said, "He does look like a good child."

Fu Yun said proudly: "That's right, Xiaoxue is so well behaved."

As Zhou Chenyi and Qin Xue were walking, they met Song Ning's father, Song Qiyan.

He turned around and whispered in Qin Xue's ear: "That's Song Ning's father. We should call him uncle."

He brought Qin Xue forward to say hello.

"Uncle, this is my fiancée Qin Xue."

Song Qiyan looked over and paused slightly when his eyes fell on Qin Xue's face.

This girl...

Qin Xue greeted him with a smile.

"Hello, Uncle Song."

Song Qiyan came back to his senses and nodded indifferently as a greeting.

Actually, he didn't want to come today.

His family had some unpleasantness with the Zhou family some time ago, and Zhou Chenyi is now acquiring their probiotic pharmaceutical company.

But he had no choice. The Zhou and Song families had been friends for so many years, and his family still needed to rely on the Zhou family in many ways. It was impossible for them to fall out just like that.

The person in charge of Zhou Group now is Zhou Chenyi. Even though he is a junior, Song Qiyan is still polite to him.

"Chen Yi, congratulations. There is something your uncle wants to talk to you about, about the acquisition..."

“I’m sorry, Uncle Song, today is my big day, I won’t talk about business.”

Song Qiyan's face looked a little ugly.

"Then let's make an appointment some other time to have a good talk."

"Well, let's wait and see." Zhou Chenyi said perfunctorily.

"Uncle Song, I'm sorry, I have to excuse myself first. There are relatives over there who need to be introduced to my fiancée."

"Yeah." Song Qiyan said nothing more.

Zhou Chenyi took Qin Xue away.

Behind Song Qiyan, there were many people laughing at his joke.

They may not know that the Song family and the Zhou family had a pretty ugly quarrel some time ago, but they all know that Song Qiyan's daughter Song Ning has admired Zhou Chenyi since she was a child.

Song Ning didn't dare to come today, and several socialites were already laughing at her in their hearts.

……

Because she was pregnant, Zhou Chenyi asked Secretary Li to buy comfortable flat shoes.

But after all, they are new shoes. It’s my first time wearing them, and they will still rub my feet if I walk for a long time.

Qin Xue followed Zhou Chenyi for a walk and her heels felt a little sore, so she found a sofa and sat down to rest for a while.

Zhou Chenyi kept his word and said that he would not let anyone bully her, so he really stayed by her side and did not leave for a moment.

He sat on the sofa with Qin Xue and chatted with her.

He Siyi also came over at this time and chatted happily with Qin Xue.

After a few minutes, Qin Xue whispered in Zhou Chenyi's ear: "I want to go to the bathroom."

Zhou Chenyi told her the location of the bathroom.

"It's not safe for you to go alone. Fang Yu will go with you."

"it is good."

Before Qin Xue went to the bathroom, Fang Yu checked the toilet inside and out as usual.

Inside the ladies' restroom.

Qin Xue was squatting on the pit and accidentally heard people chatting.

She hadn't meant to pay attention, but she heard her name.

"The woman who is engaged to Brother Chenyi, that Qin Xue, where did she come from? Why haven't I heard of this name before?"

Another voice answered: "She is not from Kyoto, nor is she a daughter of the upper class like us. She is just a poor girl."

"Ah? Then how did she hook up with Brother Chenyi?"

"I don't know either. Maybe he used some despicable means."

"Alas, Brother Chenyi must have been forced to get engaged to her. He must have something on Brother Chenyi."

"I also think that Brother Chenyi can find any woman he wants, so why is he suddenly engaged to an ordinary girl? There must be something fishy going on."
