As soon as he entered the room, he closed the door with his backhand, pushed Chu Hua against the door panel, and bent down to kiss her.

This kiss came unexpectedly, with a hint of dominance and strength, yet full of tenderness. Chu Hua's mind went blank, and her hand subconsciously grabbed the corner of Han Shangyan's clothes.

She could feel the heat coming from Han Shangyan and his strong heartbeat.

After the kiss, Han Shangyan pressed his forehead against Chu Hua's, and said in a low voice with a hint of hoarseness: "Are you scared?"

Chu Hua's face was as red as a ripe apple, and she avoided looking at him: "Why, why are you suddenly..."

"What suddenly?" Han Shangyan chuckled and reached out to lift her chin.

"Official announcement? Or kiss you?"

Chu Hua's eyelashes trembled slightly, like a frightened deer: "All, all..."

Han Shangyan looked at her shy appearance, and the tenderness in his heart was infinitely magnified. He lowered his head and kissed her lips again, this time the kiss was much softer, like a feather brushing past, but it made people feel itchy.

"Little fool." Han Shangyan's low voice sounded in her ears, with a hint of teasing: "Are you shy now? You didn't act like this when you called my name just now."

Chu Hua felt even more embarrassed by his teasing, and reached out to push his chest: "You're annoying!"

Han Shangyan chuckled and hugged her tighter: "How do you hate me? Huh?"

He deliberately prolonged the last syllable, and his tone was ambiguous.

Chu Hua struggled to get out of his arms, but he held her tightly and she couldn't move.

"Why did you suddenly register on Weibo, and... and officially announce it..." Chu Hua's voice was as thin as a mosquito, and her cheeks were so red that blood was about to drip out.

"You are my fiancée, isn't it only right that we make it official?" Han Shangyan raised his eyebrows, speaking in a matter-of-fact tone.

He pinched Chu Hua's rosy cheeks, and the soft touch made him unable to let go. "Why, do you want to default on your debt?"

Chu Hua was a little amused by his overbearing tone. She puffed up her cheeks and muttered softly, "Who... who defaulted on the debt..."

"Doesn't that mean you admit it?" Han Shangyan raised a triumphant smile and leaned over to whisper in her ear, "My little fiancée."

The warm breath sprayed on her earlobes, and the tingling feeling made Chu Hua shrink her neck. "Hateful..." She pushed him away coquettishly, but he hugged her tighter.

"My stepmother will return to attend our engagement party." Han Shangyan said suddenly.

Chu Huan was stunned for a moment. She had been immersed in Han Shangyan's domineering yet gentle address of "little fiancée". This sudden news caught her off guard.

"Stepmother?" she repeated, her brain working rapidly, trying to understand the meaning behind this sentence.

"Yes, she is only a few years older than me." Han Shangyan explained lightly, reaching out to play with the loose hair on Chu Hua's forehead.

Chu Hua was so nervous that her palms were sweating. Stepmother? She was only a few years older than Han Shangyan? This was too much information for her to digest.

Han Shangyan looked at her nervous little face and couldn't help but chuckle. He pinched her cheek and said, "Why, are you afraid that my stepmother will bully you?"

"No... No!" Chu Hua retorted stubbornly, but her eyes were erratic, and she was obviously not confident enough. Her mind was racing, and all kinds of vicious stepmother plots in melodramatic TV dramas were played out one after another, making her more and more nervous.

What if Han Shangyan's stepmother doesn't like her? What if she deliberately makes things difficult for her? What if...

"Don't worry, she won't." Han Shangyan said firmly, with a hint of imperceptible doting. He held her in his arms and patted her back gently, like coaxing a child.

Han Shangyan paused, then continued: "In fact, she has remarried, so you don't have to worry about her interfering in our affairs."

"Remarried?" Chu Hua's eyes widened, and her original nervousness was replaced by a hint of curiosity. "So... what is she like?"

Han Shangyan chuckled and ruffled her hair: "Don't worry, she is a very nice person, not like what is shown in the TV series." He paused, with a hint of teasing in his tone.

"Besides, she should be busy traveling around the world with her new husband right now. I guess she doesn't have time to mind the affairs of us 'younger ones'."

Chu Hua's originally tense nerves finally relaxed with Han Shangyan's slightly teasing words. She let out a long sigh, like a deflated ball, and collapsed in Han Shangyan's arms.

"That's good, that's good..." She repeated softly, as if to comfort herself.

Han Shangyan felt the girl in his arms relax, and the curve of his mouth deepened a little. He gently lifted her chin and forced her to look at him. "Why, are you so afraid of her?"

Chu Hua's eyes dodged and she muttered softly, "It's not that I'm scared... I'm just... a little nervous..."

"Silly girl." Han Shangyan scratched her nose lovingly: "You have met my grandfather, doesn't he like you very much?"

"That's different..." Chu Huan pouted, somewhat unconvinced.

"Grandpa is grandpa, stepmother is stepmother..."

Han Shangyan was amused by her serious tone. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, saying softly, "Don't worry, my family will like you."

Chu Hua then revealed a sweet smile, put her arms around his waist, and buried her head in his arms. "Yeah."

On the day of the engagement party, Chu Hua was woken up by Tong Nian early in the morning. The makeup artists and stylists surrounded her, and the various tedious procedures made her dizzy. She secretly glanced at herself in the mirror. The exquisite makeup and gorgeous dress made her almost unrecognizable.

How could this still be the Chu Hua who wore a T-shirt and jeans, hugged her game console and laughed foolishly?

"Sister, I'm nervous..." Chu Huan tugged at Tong Nian's sleeve and said in a low voice.

Tong Nian was discussing lipstick colors with the makeup artist. When she heard this, she turned around and glanced at her, smiling and comforting her, "Why are you so nervous? I won't sell you out."

As she spoke, she looked Chu Huan up and down: "Tsk tsk, my little Huan Huan is so beautiful today. That guy Han Shangyan made a fortune."

Although Tong Nian said that Han Shangyan had made a lot of money, her eyes were full of satisfaction and a little bit of subtle worry. She always felt that Han Shangyan was not worthy of her innocent sister and that he was just an old cow eating young grass.

If it weren't for the fact that Han Shangyan was sincere towards Chu Huan and Huan Huan herself liked him, she would have broken up the couple long ago.

"Sister..." Chu Hua pouted in dissatisfaction: "Can you please stop saying bad things about him?"

Tong Nian raised her eyebrows and looked at her with a half-smile: "Oh, you're protecting me already?"

Chu Hua's cheeks turned red, and she said coquettishly, "Sister!"

The engagement party was held in a high-end hotel. Since it was just an engagement party, only relatives and some close friends were invited.
