Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After the charity banquet’s auction officially started, although everyone was discussing the He family in private, their focus was already on the auction items on the stage.

Song Fengwan’s phone vibrated. It was a message from Fu Chen. [Which one do you like?]

[There’s nothing special I like. There’s a Tian-tsui headdress that looks good. I want to see the workmanship, but I don’t need it.]

She wasn’t a Beijing opera fan. The Tian-tsui headdress was gold-studded and had some jade inlaid in it. It was very exquisite. Because it had been worn by a famous character who had passed away, it had collectible value.

Only an experienced Beijing opera fan or someone in this industry would be very interested in this.

[Hanchuan is bidding on it. If he wins it, I’ll bring you to take a look.]

Song Fengwan sent him a kiss emoji.

Fu Chen’s seat had Fu Sinian on one side and Duan Linbai on the other.

At this moment, the lights below the stage were very dim. A certain someone was holding his phone, and the light was really a little glaring. “Third Fu, don’t you have anything you want? Who are you texting?”

“Wanwan.” Fu Chen lowered his voice.

“She’s sitting so close to you... Do you two need to do this?”

“She said I’m very handsome and that she loves me. She even kissed me.” Fu Chen scrolled through the messages and stared at the string of praises Song Fengwan had sent just now, feeling very happy.

Duan Linbai rolled his eyes. They’re giving me dog food.

“... The next item up for auction is a Tian-tsui headdress. It belonged to one of the most famous Chinese opera actors in our country...” The host introduced many things. “The starting price for this piece is one hundred and twenty thousand yuan.”

In fact, most of the auction items today were worth more than a hundred thousand yuan. It was for charity in the first place. Although the more donations raised, the better, there was no need to deliberately create hype and raise the prices of the auction items to a few million yuan or nearly ten million yuan. That would be tasteless.

There were many ancient pearl hairpins in the auction today. This headdress set wasn’t the best looking or even the most outstanding, so very few people were bidding for it.

“One hundred and twenty-five thousand...” Before a Jing family member could speak, someone raised their placard.

Jing Hanchuan raised his hand to signal the person beside him to raise his placard.

But the other party seemed to be tireless and kept bidding, and they refused to give in to each other...

“Sixth Master, it’s Miss He,” a Jing family member whispered into Jing Hanchuan’s ear.

Jing Hanchuan narrowed his eyes. He Shiqing?

The reason she was bidding was very obvious... Everyone knew that Mrs. Jing came from a Chinese opera background and loved these things the most. She probably had ulterior motives.

He Shiqing had come tonight for this headdress set, but she didn’t expect someone to compete with her over it. When she looked behind, the back was very dark, and she could only see this person constantly raising their placard, not knowing who it was.

The price was getting higher and higher, and it had already exceeded her expectations. A couple hundred thousand yuan wasn’t a big sum to her, but something that could be bought for a hundred thousand yuan was going to cost her a couple hundred thousand yuan. She felt aggrieved.

“Why do you want this?” Old Madam He also felt extremely aggrieved. Everyone’s attention had already shifted to the auction items. But because of the bidding, the focus had gathered on the He family again, making her a little angry.

“I...” He Shiqing didn’t dare to say directly that she wanted to give it to the Jing family.

“Do you have to attract attention?! Stop bidding,” Old Madam He reprimanded.

In the end, the Tian-tsui headdress was sold for 210,000 yuan.

At this moment, Duan Linbai already knew that Jing Hanchuan was here. He reached out to nudge Fu Chen. “Was He Shiqing the one who competing with Hanchuan just now?”

“Yes.”

“What does she want this for?”

“To woo Hanchuan.”

“Pfft—” Duan Linbai almost burst out laughing. “You said she wants to woo Hanchuan? F*ck, does she want to die?”

Fu Chen pursed his lips and didn’t say anything.

The next auction item was a jade pendant...

“... This is the donation of the old madam of the Jiang family. This is her love token with her husband back then. She has been wearing it for more than fifty years, and the two of them have always loved each other. After the old gentleman passed away, she donated this item in hopes of meeting lovers who can continue carrying on these emotions...

“This jade pendant is made of Lantian warm jade, and the starting price is one hundred thousand yuan.”

Song Fengwan didn’t pay much attention to this jade pendant earlier because, from the photos, the workmanship wasn’t very exquisite.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

But Fu Sinian, who hadn’t spoken, raised his placard. The moment he opened his mouth, he bid 200,000 yuan.

This jade piece was at most 120,000 to 130,000 yuan. With him saying this, instantly, no one dared to bid anymore.

“Two hundred thousand yuan going once, going twice...” Seeing that no one was raising their placards, the auctioneer quickly sold it. “Congratulations, Mr. Fu. This item has a lot of meaning.”

Fu Sinian suddenly stood up. “Can I say a few words?”

The host was stunned for a moment and looked at Duan Linbai below the stage. He Xi had already caused a disturbance, and the entire banquet’s process had already been delayed for half an hour. This...

Duan Linbai nodded.

The lights in the entire hall became brighter.

“What are you doing?” Yu Manxi was also puzzled.

Just as everyone was puzzled, Fu Sinian suddenly stood up, walked to Yu Manxi, and knelt on one knee...

There was an uproar.

“My god, is this a proposal?!”

“It’s too sudden. He knelt down just like that?”

“It’s definitely a proposal! It’s such a surprise...”

...

Song Fengwan was sitting beside Yu Manxi. When she saw this scene, she immediately stood up and stepped aside. Her expression was even more excited than Yu Manxi’s.

“Fu Sinian...” Yu Manxi was stunned, and her mind instantly went blank.

Fu Sinian opened his hand and revealed an exquisite black velvet box lying on it. He reached out to open the box. Inside was an exquisite and small diamond ring with a simple design. The single one-carat diamond was shining brightly under the light.

“Little Fish...

“Do you still want Niannian?”

F*ck!

It was normal for couples to have nicknames, but no one knew that Yu Manxi called Fu Sinian Niannian.

It was a sweet and explosive blow. Many people present had known Fu Sinian for a long time. He had always had a silent and cold temperament. Who had seen him speak in such a sweet and coquettish tone?

“Will you marry Niannian...?

“Grandma Jiang and Grandpa Jiang held hands for more than fifty years. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. It’s fine if some people don’t cherish you. I’ll marry you.

“Take my surname, be my person, and I’ll give you a home.”

Fu Sinian’s words were simple, but each word poked Yu Manxi’s heart. Her eyes reddened, and tears instantly fell.

When the video played just now, Fu Sinian had been holding her hand without saying anything. She was still thinking about how she would explain to him if he asked when they got back. She didn’t expect...

“Big Sister Yu...” Song Fengwan saw that she was crying but didn’t move, and Fu Sinian was still kneeling on the floor, so she reminded her softly.

Only then did Yu Manxi slowly reach out her hand. Instead of saying ‘I do’, she said, “Thank you.”

Fu Sinian took out the ring and helped her put it on. He reached out to wipe her tears and hugged her tightly while still kneeling. “Let’s go get our marriage certificate tomorrow.”

“Okay.” Yu Manxi hugged him tightly.

Thunderous applause filled the venue.

“F*ck, I must have been deaf just now. Don’t you think Young Master Fu’s tone was a little bit coquettish? What does he mean by ‘do you want Niannian’...”

“He’s indeed a straight man. He also has a gentle side when he meets someone he loves.”

“I’m envious. Eldest Young Master Fu looks like the kind of person who will fall in love for a lifetime.”

...

In addition to the blessings, many people were discussing the He family.

“F*ck, the news just f*cking broke that the He family doesn’t want Yu Manxi, and the Fu family wants to marry her immediately. Isn’t this deliberately slapping their faces?!”

“They deserve it. Their family abandoned her first. Now, their two granddaughters aren’t even married, but their unwanted granddaughter is going to marry a top prestigious family. It’s simply ironic.”

“Do you think Young Master Fu deliberately chose this moment?”

“He already brought a diamond ring. He likely wanted to do it long ago.”

...

Fu Sinian hugged Yu Manxi tightly. “The diamond ring is a little small since I bought it in a hurry. I saw something decent, so I bought it. I’ll change it to a better one for you in the future.”

“No need. I think it’s pretty good. I like it a lot.” Yu Manxi smiled and shook her head.

Under everyone’s encouragement and cheers, Fu Sinian held her face and planted a scorching kiss on her lips...

At the side, Duan Linbai kept clapping and smiling like a fool. He even kept urging Fu Sinian to kiss her again. On the other hand, Fu Chen kept watching coldly.

He proposed in front of me!

He didn’t want to eat this dog food, but it was stuffed into his mouth forcefully. Fu Sinian proposed, but he never told anyone in advance. He had even brought a diamond ring. It was clearly premeditated.

This meant that marriage should be put on the agenda. Was it far from them having a child? Was it far from him becoming a grandfather?
