Chi Li ran outside with joy, her eyes full of anticipation. She looked curiously at the unfamiliar Bai Zhenxi in front of her. His appearance was like a shining light, attracting Chi Li's attention.

Bai Zhenxi wore a flamboyant motorcycle helmet that contrasted sharply with his luxurious suit. The blue in his eyes, like the deep ocean, complemented his eyes, exuding a unique charm. Chi Li couldn't help but think that this color really complemented his temperament.

"You want to take me racing? Where's your motorcycle?" Chi Li looked around excitedly, expecting a cool motorcycle to appear.

Bai Zhenxi's eyes seemed to squint slightly, revealing a mysterious smile. He calmly took out a pink motorcycle helmet from the luxury car behind him and gently placed it on Chi Li's head. Chi Li was stunned at first, then burst into a cheerful laugh.

"What are you doing, hahaha." Chi Li shook the pink helmet on her head, her laughter full of surprise and joy.

Bai Zhenxi took a deep breath, as if mustering up all his courage. His eyes were firm and passionate as he stared straight at Chi Li and whispered, "I want to propose to you."

When Chi Li heard this, she froze on the spot. A flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she was at a loss for words for a moment. After two seconds, she came to her senses, a puzzled look on her face, and said, "Why did you wear a motorcycle helmet when you proposed to me? Are you afraid that I would beat you up?"

A sly smile appeared on Bai Zhenxi's face, and he explained softly: "I saw some people online saying that the woman might feel embarrassed, so I did this. If you wear a helmet, no one will be able to recognize us, so you don't have to be embarrassed." His tone was full of sincerity, and there was a hint of imperceptible nervousness.

Chi Li felt a sense of absurdity when she heard this. She was about to laugh at Bai Zhenxi, but this particular moment was not suitable for laughing out loud.

Chi Li tried to ignore the helmet on her head. Her eyes gradually became gentle, tears welling up in her eyes. She smiled and said, "You are such a fool... This is the first time you proposed to me. I wonder what it will be like next time."

"Are you dissatisfied? I understand. I'll come up with a better idea next time. But I still need to finish..."

Bai Zhenxi gently took off Chi Li's helmet, cupped her cheeks, looked into her eyes seriously, and said, "I love you, Chi Li. You are the most important person in my life. I want to spend every day of the rest of my life with you."

His voice was filled with genuine emotion, sending ripples through Chi Li's heart.

Chi Li threw herself into Bai Zhenxi's arms, feeling his warmth. Touched, she said, "I agree, idiot."

Bai Zhenxi carefully took out a large, sparkling diamond ring from his pocket and gently placed it on Chi Li's finger, as if performing a sacred ceremony.

Bai Zhenxi's voice was low and full of emotion. He said slowly, "Compared to you, I am indeed a fool."

At this moment, their hearts were tightly connected, as if the whole world belonged to them alone. They embraced each other, enjoying this warm moment, and their love for each other grew stronger.

The banquet was beautifully decorated, with flowers, flickering candlelight, and melodious music filling the air. Jiang's parents stood at the entrance of the ornately decorated main hall, their smiles seemingly less than enthusiastic.

Celebrities, dressed in exquisite gowns and holding glasses of wine, moved gracefully among the crowd, chatting with each other and laughing, as if the whole world was enveloped by this joyful atmosphere.

In the center of the main hall was a stage covered with a gorgeous carpet, where a small band played elegant melodies. Around the stage were exquisite dining tables filled with a variety of delicious food and fine wines.

Chi Li held Bai Zhenxi's arm and looked left and right but didn't see a single familiar face.

"What's going on? Jiang Bojian isn't here either?"

Bai Zhenxi picked up a small cake with tongs, put it on a plate and handed it to Chi Li, saying softly: "Don't worry, it will come eventually."

"Yeah." Chi Li's attention was attracted by the cake, and she stopped looking for acquaintances.

Jiang Bojian stood at the gate of Jiang Su's residential complex, feeling a little uneasy. His parents had specifically asked him to pick Jiang Su up, because in the past, Jiang Su would take the initiative to host banquets for her parents. But this time, she hadn't even called, which made Jiang Bojian suspect something was wrong.

The Jiang family's fortune was built entirely by Madam Jiang. This strong and intelligent woman, through her hard work and talent, made the Jiang family's business flourish. Madam Jiang's husband, a passionate musician who dedicated his life to music, unfortunately passed away at a young age.

Jiang's parents have never had a mind for business. The old lady knew that the company would be ruined if she handed it over to her son, so she turned her attention to her grandchildren. According to her observation, her granddaughter Jiang Su was a good candidate for business.

Despite the opposition of her son and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Jiang took her granddaughter to her side and raised her wholeheartedly. Jiang Su became more and more like her grandmother in both character and way of doing things.

It was only after Mrs. Jiang passed away that Jiang Su gradually got back in touch with her parents. Unfortunately, Jiang's father and mother hated the old lady's dominance, and when they found out that Jiang Su was exactly like the old lady, they started to hate her too.

Jiang Bojian felt bitter. He knew Jiang Su hated him because of her parents' favoritism, but this was something Jiang Bojian couldn't change.

He looked at the guard anxiously and asked anxiously, "Did you ask? What did my sister say?"

The guard put down the intercom and replied with a somewhat helpless look, "Miss Jiang said she is not feeling well and will not be attending the banquet."

Upon hearing the news, Jiang Bojian frowned tightly, his heart filled with worry about Jiang Su.

His sister has always been a strong person. If she wasn't really feeling unwell, she wouldn't easily give up the opportunity to see her parents.

His number had been blocked by Jiang Su, so he couldn't contact her directly to find out her specific situation. This made him even more anxious but helpless.

Jiang Bojian sighed and hurried to the banquet helplessly. His father and mother were still waiting for him.

Jiang's parents had stiff and unnatural smiles on their faces, and their hearts were filled with resentment towards Jiang Su. This resentment was like a volcano about to erupt, reaching an uncontrollable peak.

The celebrities invited to the banquet were actually important figures with whom Jiang Su had business partnerships. Their true purpose for coming was to discuss cooperation with Jiang Su, not to welcome Jiang's parents home. Jiang Su was well aware of this, yet she unexpectedly skipped this important banquet.

Why would she do this? Was she angry about being left out at the airport? But that wasn't the first time it had happened. How could she be so willful? The Jiang family's parents' suspicions and dissatisfaction grew stronger. They were sure to scold her harshly when Jiang Su arrived.
