Chapter 1017: Chapter 1013 Engagement

At this time, on the high platform, Old Man Gu was still making polite conversation with the guests present.

Chen Yang found it hypocritical and particularly boring.

"How can there be so much to say? Everyone’s here to eat, serving the food early is the greatest respect for everyone!" Unable to hold back, Chen Yang muttered a complaint.

The complaint wasn’t loud or soft, the people around couldn’t hear it, but the group of women at the same table did.

Upon hearing Chen Yang’s words, the five were momentarily stunned and then burst into laughter.

"Do you think everyone is like you, just thinking about food? This is the most normal ceremony, okay?"

Yang Ruoxi covered her mouth and laughed, retorting to Chen Yang.

Normally, Chen Yang might not bicker with Yang Ruoxi, but when it came to food, he just had to express his opinion.

"Ruoxi, I disagree with what you said. If anyone’s all about food, you’re way better at it than I am. How did it become that I’m the one focused on eating?" Chen Yang replied, unconvinced.

"Hmph, clearly it’s you who knows best about eating. Don’t believe me, ask the girls." Yang Ruoxi snorted softly, unwilling to admit it.

Chen Yang took it seriously too, glancing over at Li Han and Wu Kexin.

Watching Chen Yang and Yang Ruoxi bicker, they all laughed at the side.

Noticing Chen Yang’s gaze on them, they started to comment evaluate the situation.

"Speaking of food, Chen Yang isn’t that great; it’s always you, Ruoxi, who’s the most enthusiastic." Wu Kexin laughed and spoke fairly.

"That’s right, it’s true that Ruoxi is the most enthusiastic, and Chen Yang wasn’t wrong either; serving the food early is indeed the greatest respect for the guests." Li Han also agreed with Wu Kexin, standing on Chen Yang’s side.

With Li Han and Wu Kexin speaking up for him, Chen Yang naturally felt emboldened.

"Haha, see? I told you you love eating, and you didn’t believe it. Now everyone has testified, what do you have to say?" Chen Yang said proudly to Yang Ruoxi.

Yang Ruoxi blushed slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed.

She gave Chen Yang a sidelong glance, knowing she couldn’t argue with him, so she stopped talking.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing, let’s wait quietly. The speech on the stage should be almost over, it’s about to start." Li Han, seeing the two at odds, quickly mediated between them.

Redirecting their attention, making them focus on the stage together.

Hearing this, Chen Yang didn’t say anything further, listening to Li Han and looked towards the stage.

At this moment, the energetic Old Man Gu was still talking enthusiastically on the stage.

However, it looked like it was nearing the end.

Chen Yang watched him speak for a minute, and just when he thought it was really going to end, Old Man Gu suddenly changed the topic and started talking again.

"Alright, after thanking everyone for attending, I have one more special happy news to announce today!"

Chen Yang had lost patience and didn’t plan to continue listening, but hearing about special happy news, he immediately focused his attention.

Old Man Gu continued speaking slowly: "Everyone, you should know that our Gu Yuxuan has had an engagement with the Dai family’s young lady since childhood!"

"And today, I want to formally set their wedding under the witness of everyone!"

Old Man Gu, beaming with a radiant smile, finished speaking on the stage.

Meanwhile, Dai Annie, hearing this, was filled with embarrassment and unhappiness.

Tablemates Wu Kexin, Li Han, Yang Ruoxi, and Wang Qingyue were all taken aback on the spot!

The Dai family’s daughter!

In the entire province, besides Dai Annie, which other Dai could it be?

None of them expected that a birthday banquet could suddenly turn into an engagement ceremony!

The group of women was stunned for a moment, then they began to inquire with concern about Dai Annie’s situation regarding this matter.

"Annie, what’s going on? How did this engagement happen all of a sudden?"

"Did you know about this, Annie? Do you really want to marry Gu Xuanyu?"

"You must think it through, Annie, marriage is not to be taken lightly."

...

The group of women was deeply concerned about Dai Annie, unwilling to see her happiness be muddled away like this.

Upon hearing their words, Dai Annie’s eyes immediately became slightly wet.

"This was arranged by my dad and them, not what I wanted," Dai Annie said, sobbing.

Upon hearing her words, their expressions instantly turned serious.

They all treated Dai Annie as a sister, and seeing her being forced into marriage, they were naturally unwilling. So, they were all thinking about how to help her.

However, before they could come up with a plan, Old Man Gu had already called Gu Xuanyu onto the stage.

Gu Xuanyu, dressed in an expensive suit and branded leather shoes, with a diamond watch on his hand shining under the light, looked entirely like a groom.

In outsiders’ eyes, Gu Xuanyu appeared to be a handsome and imposing man.

But Dai Annie was completely unimpressed, glancing at him once and then paying no further attention. Her gaze ultimately fell on Chen Yang.

At that moment, Chen Yang’s face was stern.

Noticing Dai Annie’s gaze, he immediately returned a reassuring look.

Dai Annie, who initially felt quite insecure, suddenly found her sense of safety increased with Chen Yang’s reassuring look.

"Annie, from a young age, under the witness of our fathers, our engagement was set. Today..."

Gu Xuanyu took the stage, and confessed his feelings deeply with the microphone.

Finally, in front of everyone, he asked Dai Annie to marry him!

Gu Xuanyu’s move was graceful and sincere, those who didn’t know might even think they had a profound emotional foundation.

But in reality, Dai Annie had almost no contact with him!

"Where is the Dai family’s young lady? Where is the Dai family’s daughter?"

"Haha, Old Dai is lucky, becoming relatives with the Gu family."

"Quick, let Miss Dai come out and respond, don’t make Young Master Gu wait."

...

After Gu Xuanyu’s heartfelt confession, many guests present started heckling from the audience.

Dai Annie, sitting at the same table with Chen Yang, bit her teeth tightly, looking troubled, evidently under a lot of pressure.

Yet, no matter the voices around, she didn’t stand up, staying seated without responding at all.

Not far away, Dai Jinsong, upon seeing Dai Annie not standing up for a long time, hurriedly took action, fearing a major embarrassment in front of so many people!

He put up a facade of calmness and stood from his seat, then with a smile greeted those around him before walking to Dai Annie’s side.

"Annie, why aren’t you standing up and going on stage? Xuanyu has been waiting for a long time, quickly come with me." Dai Jinsong urged as soon as he walked up.

Dai Annie, biting her lip firmly, replied resolutely, "I’m not going!"

"Not going?"

Dai Jinsong grew more anxious: "At this point, what are you hesitating for, Annie? Trust Dad, okay? Dad won’t harm you!"

"It’s not hesitation; this is my confident answer to you, Dad. No matter what, I won’t agree to marry Gu Xuanyu!" Dai Annie replied firmly to Dai Jinsong, without any hesitation or struggle.
