Chapter 1285 Engagement

Hangzhou.

As the sky gradually darkened, Chen Ziyu turned on his mobile phone and suddenly saw a message on it.

"It's probably only half an hour's drive away."

This is the message sent by Tan Yue a few minutes ago.

Chen Ziyu specifically instructed that Tan Yue should send a message in advance when he was about to arrive so that they could be prepared.

Where to eat the first meal?

Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu discussed it carefully.

Originally wanted to book in a hotel.

However, I thought that Tan Yue and the others would be very tired after arriving at the place, and it would be even more tiring to go to the hotel.

Finally decided to keep it at home.

"Is Xiao Yue coming soon?" Chen's mother came to the living room, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.

She has been busy in the kitchen, preparing dinner for tonight.

This was the first time that Tan Yue's parents came over, and the first time that the two families met, so the ceremony had to be grand.

This is a sign of respect for the guests.

"I just wanted to tell you that Ah Yue will be here in half an hour."

Mother Chen immediately put down the cup: "In a few minutes, we will start preparing. We can eat directly after Xiaoyue and the others arrive."

This journey took about nine hours.

Starting the meal earlier also allows them to rest earlier.

"I'll go and help too." Chen Ziyu stood up and followed his mother to the kitchen.

Various washed ingredients were placed on the kitchen table.

Time was tight and Chen's mother couldn't handle it alone.

Therefore, let the aunt who cooks stay at home and prepare together.

"Sister Zhao, get ready, let's start."

"okay."

Whether it was Chen's mother or Sister Zhao, both of them started preparing dinner quickly.

Chen Ziyu is also helping as much as possible.

Time passed gradually.

Chen Ziyu came to the window from time to time to see what was happening outside.

"coming."

A car slowly drove into the villa.

Chen Ziyu immediately went to inform his parents.

The family walked out of the room.

The first person to get off the car was Tan Yue.

"Uncle and auntie!"

Tan Yue greeted everyone warmly and helped his mother open the car door.

"Xiao Yue, you must be tired from driving on the road."

"There are some."

In order to arrive early, we hardly stopped along the way.

Tan Zhaohe and Li Yulan got out of the car.

The two families finally met.

After a brief greeting at the door, I came to the living room.

It just takes a cup of tea.

The two families sat around the dining table and prepared to eat.

Father Chen specially prepared some good wine, and they started eating while chatting.

Tan Yue had to drive, so he didn't drink.

Tan Zhaohe and Chen's father drank cup after cup slowly, trying to control their alcohol intake.

"Xiao Yue, you can stay at home tonight. The room has been cleaned up."

"No need, Auntie, I booked the hotel before I came."

"We have a spacious home. You've been traveling all day and you've worked so hard. Go and rest after dinner." said Chen's mother.

“The hotel is very close and nearby.”

Chen's mother insisted: "We are a family from now on, don't be so polite"

Li Yulan smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness. Since the hotel has been booked this time, please stay at the hotel and stay at home next time."

After all, it’s the first time we meet, so it’s not appropriate to live directly in someone else’s house.

And it's somewhat inconvenient.

Mother Chen had no choice but to stop trying to persuade him, and said, "It's settled then. Next time you come, you must stay at home."

"Okay." Li Yulan nodded in agreement.

Tan Yue had been traveling all day, and in order to let them rest early, the dinner ended in about an hour.

After all, it was the first time the two families met, and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

After the dinner, Tan Yue drove his parents to the hotel.

……

The next day.

A little after ten in the morning.

Chen Ziyu was driving the car, Tan Yue was sitting in the passenger seat, and Tan Zhaohe and Li Yulan were sitting in the back.

"Uncle, aunt, did you get a good rest last night?"

"Very good, I fell asleep soon after lying down."

"After you left, my mother said that you should live at home. It was too hard to come here from Jishui."

"It's too much trouble for you."

"It's fine."

Tan Yue, who was leaning on the passenger seat, asked, "Where are we going to play today?"

"Let's go to West Lake first." Chen Ziyu asked, "Auntie, have you been here before?"

The engagement day is tomorrow.

Today, Chen's mother specifically asked Chen Ziyu to take Tan Yue's parents to play in Hangzhou for a day.

"Been here once."

Tan Zhaohe said, "It's been almost ten years since I last came here."

Chen Ziyu was surprised: "It took so long!"

Li Yulan calculated carefully: "It has indeed been ten years. Last time, your uncle and I came here alone. We played here for two days and then went back."

"I'll take you to have a good look today to see if there are any changes from before."

"it is good."

Li Yulan smiled very happily.

The family arrived at the place while chatting.

It is winter now, and it is easy for Tan Yue to cover his face.

With a hat and a scarf, no one would recognize me if I walked on the street.

Even walking among a crowd.

Chen Ziyu transformed into a "tour guide" and introduced the scenery one by one.

This time, not only was Tan Yue's parents taken on a trip, but it was also a time for Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu to relax.

Since the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, I have been so busy that I can't stop.

I've been busy preparing for my engagement lately.

The two of them haven't had a good rest for some time.

Li Yulan stopped and pointed to a place, saying, "Did we take the photo here before?"

Tan Zhaohe looked around and nodded, "I remember this is the place."

"I remember the photo you mentioned." Tan Yue suggested, "You should pose as you did back then and take another one now."

This photo has always been kept in the photo album at home.

Chen Ziyu said, "Auntie, please take a picture."

"Come."

"Dad, I remember you put your hands in your pockets."

"Really?" It had been so long that Tan Zhaohe couldn't remember some details.

Seeing Tan Zhaohe's hands in his pockets, Tan Yue said, "Mom, move closer to my dad."

"Okay, this is the look."

Chen Ziyu pressed the camera button and took many photos in succession.

She thought about printing out this photo and giving it to Tan Yue's parents.

The group of four continued their tour, walking and stopping, admiring the scenery along the roadside.

A little after three in the afternoon, at the hotel entrance.

"Tzuyu, be careful on the road."

"Okay, Auntie." Chen Ziyu said, "You guys go back and rest."

The four of them visited several famous attractions.

Didn't go too far.

Tan Yue smiled and said, "See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow!"

Both of them were looking forward to tomorrow. They had waited too long for this day.

"Bye-Bye."

Chen Ziyu drove back.

The engagement is tomorrow, and both Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu still have some things to do.

"Mom, let's go upstairs and see if there's anything else we need to buy."

Li Yulan said "hmm" and turned to walk into the hotel.

……

The twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month.

In a hall on the top floor of a five-star hotel in Hangzhou, a red board is placed in the middle of the stage.

It had three big characters “Engagement Banquet” written on it, with the names of Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu and today’s date next to it.

Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu are going to hold their engagement ceremony here.

Ding Dong! The elevator door opened, and Tan Yue, Chen Ziyu, and their parents walked down from the elevator.

They just came from Chen Ziyu's house.

The engagement gift has been placed at home.

In addition to the two families, there are also some relatives and friends of each other, but the number is not particularly large.

moment.

As people arrived one after another, the hall began to become lively.

"Xiao Yue, where is Zi Yu?" asked Chen's mother.

"She went to change her clothes."

Mother Chen nodded and said, "Let's wait for her to change her clothes and then start the ceremony. Everyone is almost here."

"Okay, Auntie."

"Wow, Tzuyu is so beautiful!"

Hearing the people next to him talking, Tan Yue turned around and saw Chen Ziyu who had changed her clothes.

She was wearing a white dress with a bow decoration and a pair of silver high heels.

Tan Yue was also shocked and stunned for a moment.

He was the one who went with me to pick out this outfit, and it looks completely different now than when he tried it on.

Maybe it's because I'm getting engaged soon.

Or maybe it just matches the white theme of the hall.

Chen Ziyu walked over with a smile and asked, "How is it?"

"very nice."

"let us start."

Tan Yue nodded, gently held Chen Ziyu's hand, and the two walked towards the stage side by side.

Not only to feel more involved, but also to have good memories in the future.

This time they hosted their own engagement party themselves.

"Dear relatives and friends, welcome to attend our engagement ceremony despite your busy schedule..."

The engagement ceremony officially begins.

When it is so important, it is natural to record it.

The photographer kept taking pictures, and friends and relatives sitting below were also taking pictures.

At the main table, the parents of both parties sat together, looking at the two people on the stage.

Li Yulan had a relieved smile on her face.

In recent years, she has been urging her son, hoping that the two of them will hurry up and get married.

One aspect is psychological.

Tan Yue had experienced a failed marriage, and she was worried that her son would be too sensitive about emotional matters and would not be able to take this step.

Another thing is that my son is not young anymore.

Whether it is Tan Yue or Chen Ziyu, both of them have reached the age to get married.

After a brief opening speech, the first session began.

Under the gaze of everyone, Tan Yue took out a box from his pocket, opened it and found a ring inside, then knelt on one knee.

"We have all been waiting for this day for a long time. From today on, I will be your most solid support."

Tan Yue felt that Chen Ziyu was working too hard and didn't want her to be busy with work every day like she was now.

The two looked at each other, and tears welled up in Chen Ziyu's eyes.

This scene had appeared in her dreams countless times, and today it finally came true.

Just as Tan Yue said, she had waited for this day for too long.

Tan Yue put the ring on Chen Ziyu's middle finger.

After getting up, Chen Ziyu also took out the ring, put it on Tan Yue, and said: "Today is the happiest day of my life. We will definitely grow old together."

Two people hug each other.

There was warm applause and cheers from the audience.

Chen's mother, who was sitting in the audience, rubbed her eyes gently.

Although it was not a marriage, seeing such a scene, I couldn't help but feel a little reluctant.

But I'm still very happy.

As a mother, I am very happy that my daughter has found a solid support.

The following ceremony was very simple. They signed the marriage certificate and the two of them cut the cake together.

The whole process was completed in about ten minutes.

While the guests were eating, Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu were busy taking pictures.

After taking the photos, both of them were so hungry that their stomachs were growling. They just had a couple of bites and then got busy again.

The next step is to change the words, which is also the last step of today's engagement ceremony.

The staff brought four cups of tea.

Tan Yue picked up one of them and said, "Dad, have some tea."

"it is good."

Father Chen took a sip of tea, put down the cup and took out a red envelope from his pocket. "From today on, you two are a family. You must learn to support each other, and your family will get better and better."

"I understand, Dad." Tan Yue picked up another cup of tea: "Mom, please have some tea."

"Okay, Xiaoyue." Chen's mother also gave a red envelope and then said, "I hope you two will be together forever and be happy forever."

"Thanks, Mom."

Although he did not come to Hangzhou very often, Tan Yue could feel the love of Chen's father and mother every time.

He respects both elders very much.

"Dad, please have some tea."

Next it was Chen Ziyu's turn to serve tea.

Tan Zhaohe took the cup, took a sip and gave a red envelope as well.

Chen Ziyu picked up the cup: "Mom, please have some tea."

Li Yulan took a sip and felt that the tea water tasted particularly good today. She took out a red envelope from her pocket and said, "Xiao Yue, you two have worked too hard. You should pay more attention to rest in the future. Health is the most important thing."

"Okay, Mom."

After paying respects to both sets of parents, the next step is to introduce some important relatives and friends.

Amidst laughter, the engagement party soon came to an end and people started to leave one after another.

Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu stood at the door, seeing their friends off.

"Sister Tzuyu, you are so beautiful today!"

"We haven't seen each other for a while, and you've become more and more sweet."

"Let's go back first. We'll talk again some other time if we have a chance."

"be careful on the road."

After the guests left, Tan Yue said, "Let's go in."

The two of them went in and saw that both parents were still chatting animatedly.

Once raw, twice cooked.

They talked a lot at this banquet.

Chen Ziyu smiled and said, "Mom, let's talk about this another day. It's time for A Yue and the others to go back."

After all, it’s the end of the year and I have to go home to prepare things.

"I had so much fun chatting with my in-laws today that I forgot the time." Chen's mother said, "I don't know what time I'll get home if I go back now. It's not safe on the road in the dark. You can go back tomorrow."

Li Yulan explained: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and I haven't prepared the New Year's goods yet. Time is a bit tight."

Chen's mother felt the same way, and it was not easy to continue trying to keep him.

Everyone came out of the hotel.

Tan Yue parked the car in front of the hotel.

Father Chen said, "Xiao Yue, be sure to pay attention to safety on the road. If you feel too sleepy, take a rest at the service area."

"Got it, Dad."

Tan Zhaohe said: "We are leaving first, we will meet again when there is a chance."

"You should go back and rest as well." Li Yulan said.

Tan Zhaohe and Li Yulan were sitting in the car.

Tan Yue started the car and parked it in the car window, saying, "Mom and Dad, goodbye. Tzuyu, I'm leaving."

"Be careful."

The car started and prepared to return to Jishui.
