Chapter 54 Public Lovers (7)
"Ah... for the engagement party, red is still better." After the makeup artist finished, it was the turn of the dress designer to choose a gown for me. In the end, I chose a pink evening gown. The strapless dress had a skirt that flared out slightly at the hem, like a tutu, and had a huge bow design on the back. Two floral necklaces adorned my chest, and a fresh flower was pinned to my right side. As I turned around in front of the floor mirror, I was stunned by my own reflection - indeed, different makeup techniques can give people completely different impressions.
Her hair was styled with half of it pinned up, adorned with a golden sunflower on one side as a fixative. The loose hair below was curled into natural-looking large curls using a curling iron and then casually tousled to fall on both sides. A floral-patterned necklace complemented the geometric-shaped glass earrings in the same style category. She wore a pair of patent leather sandals with interwoven gold and silver straps, and chose a simple clutch bag from the same series with a silver base and golden trim.
As I was about to leave, Auntie Cheng hastily took a scarf and wrapped it around me, saying with a smile, "This makes you look even more beautiful."
With heavy makeup on, who can still see my dark circles? I smiled and said, "Thank you."
Aunt Chen gave me a gentle hug and then we got on the car. My father, who had been silent since just now, looked at me deeply and said, "Very pretty."
"Thank you." I think this will be the word I use most today. When the car stopped, I looked ahead through the window and found myself getting nervous, with people staring at me every step of the way, the feeling of oppression growing deeper. To shift my attention, I smiled at each person who came to greet me, repeating "hello" over and over again.
Right before the engagement banquet started, I was arranged to sit at the rightmost position closest to the middle. To my left were Han Sheng, his parents, and a sister or younger sibling?
"Xia Mu Cheng." Unintentionally, I heard her calling out to Gege, and curiously turned my head to look at her. She looked around in all directions before continuing to happily call out, "Xia Mu Cheng."
I turned my head to look to the right and saw Xia Muju with his eyes closed, seemingly looking at nothing in particular. There was a sense of oppression, probably because he was intentionally pretending not to have heard.
"Thank you to all the media and journalists who have arrived. Today, our Han Group and Xia Group have signed a cooperation agreement." The other party took the microphone and got straight to the point, mentioning the mutual cooperation, and continued, "In order for Han and Xia to have an even friendlier relationship in the future, we have decided to take it to the next level - our two children will get engaged first, and everyone here can bear witness."
Crunch.
Tick-tock. Tick-tock.
The flash on the camera was blinding, I just had to show a smile as instructed. According to the previous arrangement, everyone raised their champagne glasses and clinked them together, symbolizing the signing of the cooperation contract. The large contract paper was put away in a tube for safekeeping. That day, I stood beside Han Sheng, forcing a somewhat stiff smile on my face, just as the flash in front of me flashed wildly. Representatives from both sides of the Han family smiled and raised their glasses towards the camera, then the waiter pushed open the door to the banquet hall and pushed in a cart. The tables and chairs inside were quickly backed against the wall, and everyone held plates and freely chose what to eat.
