It could be imagined how excited Sheng Chenjin was. He immediately took Shi Xinxin to a professional wedding planning company. After a month of discussion, the engagement plan was finalized.
Looking at Sheng Chenjin's enthusiasm for the matter.
Shi Xinxin thought that those who called Sheng Chenjin ice-faced must be blind. He was clearly passionate and persistent about many things, even showing a childish side, and more importantly, he had a girlish anticipation for weddings.
Shi Xinxin could only think silently that as long as Sheng Chenjin was happy, it would be fine. It seemed their roles were reversed.
Sheng Chenjin was the big boss and also a generous spender. He thought that since Shi Xinxin had no requirements for the engagement ceremony, he really wanted everyone to witness their happiness, essentially wanting to announce to the world and give Shi Xinxin a proper status.
Therefore, Sheng Chenjin turned this engagement ceremony into a public event. He directly invited reporters, a large group of socialites, and many famous ladies. The reason for inviting famous ladies was simple: he wanted these ladies to know his feelings for Shi Xinxin.
To make those famous ladies who had always coveted him retreat.
And Shi Xinxin knew nothing about all this. She went to work and came home every day as usual, and if Sheng Chenjin came to pick her up for dinner, she would go. She seemed indifferent to the engagement ceremony.
It wasn't until the day of the engagement ceremony that Shi Xinxin was stunned. She had never expected Sheng Chenjin to go to such great lengths and spend so much to arrange such an engagement ceremony.
On that day, early in the morning, Shi Xinxin was picked up by a car sent by Sheng Chenjin and taken back to his house. Sheng Chenjin had already changed into a suit. Every time Shi Xinxin saw Sheng Chenjin in a suit, she found him very attractive. This time was no exception.
"What are you looking at?" Sheng Chenjin always looked at Shi Xinxin with great gentleness.
This time, being asked so directly by Sheng Chenjin, Shi Xinxin was still a bit embarrassed. She lowered her head and said, "Nothing."
Sheng Chenjin walked to the large bed, opened a box, and said, "This is for you."
Shi Xinxin looked at the label on the box. It was clearly a big brand. She looked very surprised. "You are always like this, such expensive things."
Sheng Chenjin said dotingly, "This is our engagement ceremony after all, can't it be grander?"
Hearing Sheng Chenjin say this, Shi Xinxin's happiness instantly boiled over.
"Put it on!" Sheng Chenjin held out the dress, seeking Shi Xinxin's opinion.
Shi Xinxin put on the dress with ease. In addition, Sheng Chenjin had someone come to do Shi Xinxin's makeup and styling. Suddenly, Shi Xinxin looked radiant, as if she had become a different person.
Seeing Shi Xinxin like this, Sheng Chenjin looked extremely happy.
In the afternoon, the banquet began, and guests arrived one after another. But Shi Xinxin only heard some noise downstairs and didn't know about all the things Sheng Chenjin had done behind her back.
"Xinxin!" Tang Tang's voice called out.
Shi Xinxin excitedly stood up from the sofa. Tang Tang looked at Shi Xinxin in her dress and exquisite makeup and was very happy for her.
"You've really opened my eyes today. Look at you, you're also a beauty when you're well-dressed," Tang Tang said.
Shi Xinxin looked a little shy and lowered her head without speaking.
Tang Tang lowered her voice and asked, "Those outside, is it your idea, or did Sheng Chenjin do it behind your back?"
Tang Tang's question made Shi Xinxin confused. "What do you mean?"
Tang Tang frowned, looking at Shi Xinxin and knowing that Shi Xinxin probably knew nothing.
"I'm talking about those reporters and socialites outside."
"Reporters? Socialites?" Shi Xinxin blinked her eyes, looking genuinely surprised.
"It seems you really don't know." Tang Tang pulled Shi Xinxin to sit on the sofa and said calmly, "This time Sheng Chenjin sent out many invitations, invited many reporters to attend, and photography is allowed throughout the event. Not only that, but there are also a lot of socialites. Not to mention business partners. It's as if you're getting married."
"This is just an engagement." Shi Xinxin was surprised, then shook her head. "No, no, why would he invite so many people? What is Sheng Chenjin thinking?"
Just then, Sheng Chenjin walked in. Seeing Shi Xinxin, he had that gentle smile again. "We should go down. Everyone is basically here. As hosts, we should also make an appearance."
Shi Xinxin stood up from the sofa and quickly walked towards Sheng Chenjin. "Tang Tang said there are many reporters downstairs, and also some noble families, socialites, and so on. Is that true?"
Sheng Chenjin nodded. "Yes, these are all my arrangements."
"Sheng Chenjin, you know I don't like so many people. Why did you arrange for so many people?" Shi Xinxin seemed a little unhappy.
Sheng Chenjin held Shi Xinxin's hands, forcing her to face him. "Xinxin, you can say I want to give you a sense of security, or you can say I have a sense of insecurity. I thought that by announcing it to the world like this, you would feel secure, and I would also feel secure."
"Security doesn't come like this," Shi Xinxin said, pulling her hands back somewhat angrily.
Sheng Chenjin sighed. "But there are other reasons."
"What reason? Although I have no requirements for this engagement ceremony, I thought you would understand me. We should have a tacit understanding." The more Shi Xinxin thought about it, the angrier she became, and she insisted on confronting Sheng Chenjin.
Sheng Chenjin softened his tone. "I know, I know what you mean. But Xinxin, I want to tell those who hurt you or hurt me, let them know that we belong to each other. I don't want any destroyers between us."
Shi Xinxin did not speak about Sheng Chenjin's reason, nor did she answer him again.
Sheng Chenjin knew that Shi Xinxin was still a little angry.
Tang Tang looked at the two of them arguing on the eve of the engagement ceremony and felt it was inappropriate.
So, Tang Tang stepped forward to mediate and pulled Shi Xinxin aside. "Xinxin, don't be like this. Sheng Chenjin is doing this for your own good. Don't think too much about it. Since the banquet downstairs is about to start, you can only accept it."
Shi Xinxin still frowned, looking very unhappy.
