Chapter 206: Chapter 206 My First Love Got Engaged

Chu Lin was bad-mouthed behind his back by Cheng Yue, but he wasn’t angry. After all, he had also secretly cursed Cheng Yue more than once.

Yuan Xi and Liang Suisui entered the bridal makeup room and immediately felt the icy atmosphere inside.

Yuan Xi hadn’t expected Chu Lin to also be in the makeup room.

The already cold atmosphere had now become somewhat awkward.

Cheng Yue looked at Liang Suisui, “Miss Liang.”

Liang Suisui smiled and said, “Secretary Cheng, no, now I should call you Mrs. Chu, you really look beautiful without glasses today. You shouldn’t wear glasses at all from now on.”

Cheng Yue responded with a faint smile, “I’m not very accustomed to contact lenses, and with work being so busy, contact lenses aren’t as comfortable as framed glasses.”

Liang Suisui said, “I can recommend a brand of contacts I’ve worn for several years that are really comfortable for my eyes. I’ll send you the link. It would be a pity to hide your beautiful eyes behind glasses.”

Cheng Yue smiled lightly, “Thank you. Should I add you on WeChat?”

Liang Suisui said, “You can have Xiao Xi recommend your contact to me.”

Yuan Xi said, “I haven’t added Sister Cheng on WeChat yet either.”

Cheng Yue picked up her phone from the side, opened the QR code, and let Yuan Xi scan it.

After Yuan Xi scanned the QR code and successfully added her as a friend, she shared Liang Suisui’s contact card with Cheng Yue.

Liang Suisui recommended the link and then said, “We won’t disturb your makeup anymore, we’ll head downstairs first.”

Cheng Yue smiled softly and said, “All right.”

Liang Suisui and Yuan Xi stepped out of the makeup room. “Secretary Cheng looks really pretty with makeup on, just like a little star. Chu Lin is really lucky.”

Yuan Xi didn’t say anything.

Liang Suisui looked at Yuan Xi, “Don’t tell me, you siblings haven’t made up yet? Didn’t you always want a brother?”

Yuan Xi did not have a brother before, only a cousin sister, and Liang Suisui was also in a similar situation, envying Chen Yuan for having a cousin brother.

Yuan Xi said, “I wanted a brother, but not a brother like him.”

Liang Suisui chuckled, “Chu Lin is actually a pretty decent person, it’s just that sometimes he can’t discern pure lotuses from green tea, which is a common flaw among men…”

Yuan Xi frowned and said, “Don’t blame Chu Lin’s stupidity on all men. Some men say that cheating is a mistake all men make, leading many to think infidelity is no big deal. Look at Jiang City, there are tons of male CEOs with illegitimate children, and they think it’s completely normal for a man to have them. They use the excuse of ‘all men do it’ to justify their lack of moral standards. Being unable to tell the difference between the pure lotus and green tea is not a common male problem. At least Gu Hanchen and Huo Shiyuan aren’t like that; they wouldn’t confuse the two.”

Liang Suisui laughed and said, “You have a point.”

When Yuan Xi and Liang Suisui went downstairs, the lunch banquet was about to start.

Soon after they took their seats, Chu Lin and Cheng Yue came over together to toast.

Yuan Xi had just attended the engagement celebration of Fu Qin and Wen Zhuo, which was, at least on the surface, harmonious. In contrast, Chu Lin and Cheng Yue didn’t even hold hands, their relationship was clearly not just loveless but strained.

Liang Suisui also noticed something was off and whispered to Yuan Xi, “I actually thought your brother and the secretary got married out of mutual love, but they look like enemies. You and Gu Hanchen are probably better off than those two.”

Yuan Xi whispered back to Liang Suisui, “Who would like their boss, aside from an opportunistic fling?”

Gu Hanchen raised his glass to Huo Shiyuan, who was sitting next to Yuan Xi, and said, “To think that even CEO Huo can have days of being neglected.”

Huo Shiyuan looked at Yuan Xi and Liang Suisui and chuckled, “I’ve been used to it.”

Chu Lin and Cheng Yue came to their table to toast.

Gu Hanchen stood up, offering Chu Lin a glass full of Baijiu, “My good friend, I’m very happy for your engagement today. This drink is for you. Congratulations on your double happiness. Not only have you married such a gorgeous whistleblower—oops, such a gorgeous Secretary Cheng—you’re also about to become a father. You must drink this glass.”

Cheng Yue listened as Gu Hanchen said, “The Great Complainer,” words he was used to saying. She looked over at Chu Lin, who had originally called her that among his brothers.

Chu Lin said, “There’s a banquet later. If I drink so much now, I might be drunk until evening. I’ll drink more then.”

Gu Hanchen said, “Alright, drink in the evening then, but you can’t get out of this toast!”

Huo Shiyuan clinked his glass with Chu Lin’s and said in a deep voice, “Congratulations, Mr. Chu.”

Chu Lin, hearing Hot Shiyuan’s address, clinked glasses with him.

Yuan Xi poured a drink and only clinked glasses with Cheng Yue, who was next to Chu Lin. Liang Suisui also followed Yuan Xi in toasting with Cheng Yue and drank their beverages.

Chu Lin furrowed his brows as he looked at Yuan Xi but ultimately did not say anything more.

In the afternoon, an engagement ceremony was held in the main hall.

Cheng Yue changed into a toast-making dress, switched up her hairstyle and makeup, and donned a custom-made, modernized qipao.

The engagement ceremony was quite traditional and antique. Uncle Yang acted as the witness as the couple signed their names on the engagement contract.

After the names were signed, Gu Hanchen teased from the side, “Kiss, kiss!”

Yang Kexin, holding a camera, also joined in Gu Hanchen’s teasing, “Right, cousin, cousin-in-law, hurry up and kiss!”

Liang Suisui did not mind adding to the ruckus and began teasing along with Gu Hanchen.

The guests at the ceremony also started to tease in chorus with Gu Hanchen.

Gu Hanchen said, “Come on, Chu Lin, you’re already having a kid, what’s there to be shy about? Kiss her already!”

Chu Lin and Cheng Yue exchanged glances.

Amidst the clamor for a kiss, Chu Lin leaned down intending to give Cheng Yue a peck on her cheek.

Cheng Yue wasn’t used to Chu Lin leaning in to kiss her, and she turned her head, but her lips unintentionally brushed against his.

Cheng Yue’s eyes widened, and before she could react, Gu Hanchen started teasing again from the side, “You have to kiss for a full minute, 60, 59…”

Gu Hanchen raised his wrist, shouting while looking at his watch.

Yuan Xi glanced up at Huo Shiyuan and whispered to him, “If we ever have a wedding, we can’t let Gu Hanchen attend. He’ll make a scene.”

Huo Shiyuan smiled, “I think having Gu Hanchen liven up the atmosphere at the wedding would be nice.”

Yuan Xi said, “I don’t want that. Also, is Gu Hanchen’s watch even accurate?”

By the time Gu Hanchen counted down to thirty, Yuan Xi clearly felt that each second of his countdown was rather lengthy.

When Cheng Yue was about to run out of breath, Chu Lin let go of her without waiting for Gu Hanchen to finish the countdown.

Only then could Cheng Yue breathe.

Inside a bar in the Jiangcheng City Center.

Gao Yang was drinking a glass of plum-infused alcohol, the glass swaying in her hand.

She looked at the video Gu Hanchen posted on his Moments of Chu Lin and Cheng Yue nearly kissing for a minute.

Gao Yang opened her QQ Space photo album, where there was a photo of her and Chu Lin taken during high school. Ten years had passed, and back then, they were both still very green.

“Gao Yang!”

Mi Yi came in from outside the bar. She walked over to Gao Yang and saw her red eyes, teary appearance, and the empty glasses in front of her, “Gao Yang… what happened?”

Gao Yang said, “My first love is getting engaged.”
