Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!-Chapter 308: Large-Scale Face-Slapping at the Engagement Ceremony (Part 33)

Qin Wenrou hoped that Nalan Ye Jue would declare the wedding annulled, but there was no sign of that, and she was caught off guard by the display of affection.

It seemed like the two of them weren’t strangers at all, not a blind marriage, but rather as if they had known each other for years, with mutual understanding.

Could it be... Mommy lied to her?

Mommy had always reserved this high-quality man, Nalan Ye Jue, for her sister and not for her!

Qin Wenrou, who had been depressed all night, felt even more upset at this moment.

She watched as Nalan Ye Jue took Qin Xin’s hand and walked to the center of the banquet hall, feeling that all was lost and nothing could be salvaged...

In the center of the banquet hall was a circular stage.

Nalan Ye Jue led Qin Xin up there, and the lighting technician, being quick-witted, immediately dimmed the lights, leaving only a spotlight on the stage.

Qin Xin’s fair skin looked particularly stunning under the lights.

Her small face with clear features had an extra carefree charm that typical girls didn’t have, making her extraordinarily beautiful.

Some guests couldn’t help but exclaim, "Miss Qin is really beautiful, I think she’s even prettier than the actress Shen Bixue..."

Mrs. Nalan looked at Qin Xin like a fangirl, "My daughter-in-law looks like a fairy from heaven..."

Even Bai Chi showed undeniable regret on his face, "Was my brain broken before, thinking that Qin Wenrou and Little Sister-in-law looked alike? The difference is too great... Little Sister-in-law’s looks completely outshine Qin Wenrou."

He didn’t care that Qin Wenrou was right behind him on the sofa at that moment.

The engagement ceremony host announced the start of the proceedings according to protocol.

First, it was time for the Nalan family elders to speak.

Mrs. Nalan went up and lavishly praised Qin Xin! She went over her allotted time and was still not satisfied, until her husband came up, unable to bear it, and took her down, "Today the kids are the main characters, take it easy."

"I’m just excited. My daughter-in-law is too satisfying..." Mrs. Nalan pouted.

The onlooking relatives: "..."

Alright, alright, no need to say more, we all know you dote on your daughter-in-law!

Next, it was time for the Qin family elders to speak.

Mrs. Qin was a bit reserved, and compared to Mrs. Nalan her speech was rather short and not very impressive, mostly polite formalities.

But everyone understood that she came from a humble background, and so they said nothing and instead applauded warmly.

Finally, it was time for the couple to exchange engagement rings and give speeches.

Qin Xin thought to herself, oh no, the one thing she forgot today was to prepare an engagement ring!

She had thought only weddings required the exchange of rings, but engagements did too? The Nalan family is indeed such a traditional aristocratic family.

Just as she was getting a bit anxious, Nalan Ye Jue seemed to know what she was worried about. He chuckled softly and said lowly, "Don’t worry."

Unhurriedly, he brought out a delicate purple velvet ring box, opened it, and inside lay two rings side by side.

One was a men’s ring, a simple circular platinum band.

The other was a women’s ring, an extravagant and bold purple diamond ring!

It turned out he was well-prepared, and Qin Xin couldn’t help but admire again this man’s thoroughness and attention to detail.

The purple diamond, estimated to be 10 carats, was even more dazzling, brilliant, and pure than the purple diamond necklace Mrs. Nalan gave Qin Xin.

"Heart of the Galaxy!"

Someone in the crowd exclaimed.

They pointed at the purple diamond engagement ring in shock!

The Heart of the Galaxy, sold for an astronomical price at auction years ago, is one of the most expensive purple diamonds in existence.

The only thing that could compare with it was the Dongfang family’s Heart of the Ocean.

The Heart of the Ocean was deep purple and quite intense; while the Heart of the Galaxy was a light misty purple, in comparison, the Heart of the Galaxy had a more brilliant clarity like a million stars.

And it suited Qin Xin’s temperament even more!

The audience glanced at the "Heart of the Galaxy," then at Nalan Ye Jue’s purple tie, Qin Xin’s purple diamond necklace...

Unable to help feeling envious: "Damn, the Young Master and his wife must have planned their outfits tonight to blind us... I can’t take it anymore, it’s overwhelming..."
