The King's Enchanting
Chapter 1697 - 1710: Engagement (Part 4)
Mainly, it’s Xia Ziyu and Yu Shenglin. Both of them still hold traditional views, maybe thinking that a wedding should be grand, but for an engagement, just having family and close friends is sufficient.
However, there’s a bit of a problem—since it’s an engagement, even if not grand, at least the parents of both sides should be informed, right? What about Jian Panying?
There’s something to be said, Jian Anning has changed her name back to "Ma Yiyi" in recent years. She has let go of her past grudges, although she still feels her father’s death is related to her, she wouldn’t go as far as to change her last name out of punishment. Anyway, everyone is used to calling her by her original name; besides Yu Zexiao, who calls her "Yiyi" when he whispers in her ear at night, most of the time, everyone calls her by her original name.
She even mentioned to Yu Zexiao that she doesn’t want to have just one child. If she could have dragon-phoenix twins like Ling Yichuan and Ling Yinuo, that would be good. Otherwise, she wants a boy to carry the Yu surname, and at least one girl to carry the Ma surname.
Xia Ziyu strongly opposed this idea. Xia Ziyu is the kind of person who doesn’t like to have anything related to herself shared with others. Later, they compromised a bit; at least, there must be a "Ma" character in the name.
This, Xia Ziyu had no objection to. Isn’t Yu Zexiao’s name derived this way? Of course, if Jian Anning ends up having several children, Xia Ziyu doesn’t mind having one girl with the Ma surname. The problem is that nowadays, although young people say, "I want to have a soccer team," few actually do.
The matter was happily decided like this. Actually, Ling Yichuan and Ling Yinuo came from far away only because both of them were having family troubles.
Ling Yichuan needs no further mention; ever since he got involved with that "married woman" years ago, the Ling Family parents were furious and demanded he get married without further discussion. Ling Yichuan wouldn’t agree, leading to an ongoing conflict that disrupted family peace.
As for Ling Yinuo, although her situation isn’t as chaotic as her brother’s, she still has her own troubles—her trouble is naturally the person beside her.
Speaking of it, almost everyone outside this circle knows about her and Qin Xian’s relationship. But after all, Qin Xian is five years younger than her; how could she dare bring him home? If the parents knew, they would break her legs!
These two say they’re here to celebrate for Yu Zexiao, but really they’re escaping their family troubles. And since Ling Yinuo came over, Qin Xian naturally follows.
And as for the Leng Family, Leng Yunting and Leng Yunlin will definitely be present. Even before the celebration starts, there’s already a large gathering.
Earlier than them, of course, is Chen Qinruo. Since her family originally manages the celebration venue, she arrived early to arrange everything.
Although there’s nothing "surprising," Chen Qinruo’s family still diligently helps design the venue and decorate the house. The main party arrives at noon, so she must hurry.

At this moment, the main party gathers at the Yu Family. Although it’s just an engagement, quite a few people come, and everyone seems to be taking it seriously.
