Zhao Pengfei kept checking Chu Lan's social media, refreshing the page repeatedly, until he saw the new list of names and the location of the birthday party, at which point he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

A short while later, Zhao Yazhi and her mother entered the room one after the other.

"Where's Jing'er? Why hasn't she come back?" Zhao Pengfei frowned.

Zhao Yazhi snorted coldly, "I'm afraid our family can't keep that golden phoenix."

Knowing that she had been wronged, Zhao Pengfei coaxed her into the bedroom with kind words before asking his mother to follow him to the study.

"What's going on? You're back now, why didn't you bring Jing'er back with you?"

After this incident, Zhao's mother realized that there was only one person in the family who truly understood her heart: her daughter, whom she had carried for ten months.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jing smiled as always, "Jing'er has grown up, let her be."

Zhao Pengfei glanced at her in surprise, wanting to say something, but knowing full well that he was in the wrong, he didn't pursue the matter further.

"I'm tired, I'm going to wash up and go to bed."

After finishing her speech, Zhao's mother gracefully walked out of the study.

Zhao Pengfei was taken aback, suddenly feeling that his wife, with whom he had shared a bed for many years, was somewhat unfamiliar.

Marriage room.

Chen Feng threw a tantrum.

"Why are you angry? You saw it today, not only you, but even the experts couldn't answer it."

Zhang Qian seemed to be comforting Chen Feng, but in reality, she just wanted to get by. After all, Xu Tian had done so much for her and even won her a jade bracelet worth millions. Now, her heart was completely filled with Xu Tian.

Even so, Zhang Qian still poured Chen Feng a glass of water, hoping to calm him down.

Chen Feng shoved away the water glass Zhang Qian offered him, splashing water everywhere.

"Look at yourself now, all you think about is that Xu Tian! What has he done for you that you're throwing yourself at him like this? Don't forget, we're husband and wife from now on!"

Zhang Qian stumbled from the push, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes, but she still forced herself to remain calm: "Chen Feng, can't you be reasonable? You saw what happened today, Xu Tian is indeed capable. Besides, let's not drag others into our problems."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng became even more furious.

"Skilled? Hmph, just a petty person who's gotten his way! In what way am I, Chen Feng, inferior to him!"

Zhang Qian froze on the spot. The words seemed familiar; Xu Tian had said something similar before.

That was one of the few arguments they had before they got divorced.

At that time, Xu Tian couldn't stand her and Chen Feng being together every day, so he got jealous and had a big fight with her. At that time, she was only thinking about Chen Feng and didn't care about Xu Tian's thoughts and feelings at all.

And now, how she wished Xu Tian would rush over right now and have another big fight with her over Chen Feng!

"hehe…"

Chen Feng suddenly sneered, "Are you regretting it?"

A hint of panic flashed in Zhang Qian's eyes. "What do I regret? Chen Feng, stop being unreasonable. You insisted that I go to today's auction."

"You probably think Xu Tian is better and more outstanding than me in every way, but don't forget who gave up their promising future to return to China for you, and who stood by you when the company was in trouble!"

Chen Feng gritted his teeth and said.

Mentioning these things, Zhang Qian felt inexplicably guilty. Chen Feng did indeed give more in the early stages, but didn't she divorce Xu Tian for Chen Feng's sake later?

And before the divorce, how much she indulged herself and ignored the gossip to be with him, didn't he know that?

Thinking of this, Zhang Qian's tone hardened, "Chen Feng, are you trying to compete with me to see who puts in more effort?"

Seeing that Zhang Qian was serious, Chen Feng instinctively backed down. He hadn't gotten what he was supposed to get yet, and the two of them were getting engaged tomorrow. He couldn't let things end badly like this.

"Honey, you know that's not what I meant. I just hope you can focus more on me. To be honest, I'm insecure and afraid that you'll be with Xu Tian again."

Seeing that Zhang Qian's expression had softened slightly, Chen Feng quickly stepped forward, gently took her hand, and looked at her with pleading eyes.

"Qianqian, I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so suspicious. From now on, I will only trust you, okay?" He tried to wrap Zhang Qian in gentleness, but the more he did so, the more Zhang Qian missed Xu Tian. Xu Tian had always tried to appease her in this way before.

Zhang Qian's gaze passed over Chen Feng and landed on Xu Tian, ​​who was so dashing at the auction. Xu Tian's smile, Xu Tian's eyes, even the gentle gesture he made when he bought the jade bracelet for her, all replayed clearly in her mind.

Zhang Qian's hand trembled slightly. She gently withdrew her hand, lowered her head, and didn't let Chen Feng see the complex emotions in her eyes.

"Alright, we're getting engaged tomorrow, let's not talk about those unpleasant things anymore," Zhang Qian said softly.

Chen Feng nodded hurriedly, wrapping his arms around Zhang Qian's body.

"Is there anything you'd like to include in tomorrow's engagement ceremony? Like, a proposal?"

Zhang Qian smiled wearily, "Let's talk about the proposal after we get engaged. Besides, time is tight, and you won't have time to buy a ring."

Chen Feng quickly said, "I'll buy the ring!"

As he spoke, Chen Feng pulled out a diamond ring from his pocket, the size of which was unclear. Zhang Qian looked at it with some disdain, noting that Xu Tian's proposal ring was at least a one-carat diamond.

Chen Feng explained, "You know, after paying the down payment on the house, I don't have much money left. I'll definitely make up for it when we get married, okay?"

Seeing Chen Feng's expectant gaze, Zhang Qian had no choice but to agree.

Chen Feng wanted to do some more things that he should do that night, but Zhang Qian refused, saying she was a little tired.

The next day, at the Huaxiang Hotel.

Chu Lan attended the event in full regalia, and the entire Zhao family stood at the entrance awaiting the arrival of their distinguished guest. The hall where Chu Lan's birthday banquet was held was also the best and most expensive in Huaxiang.

"Please come in, Mr. Chu. See if you are satisfied with what my son... my daughter has prepared for you."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Pengfei quickly changed his mind, which immediately made Zhao Lei, who had barely slept for several nights, frown.

"Zhao Jing, you're really something, making me do your wedding dress!"

Zhao Lei gritted his teeth and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Zhao Jing smiled and said, "I won't stand on ceremony since I'm borrowing your flowers to offer to Buddha."

As she spoke, Zhao Jing followed in Zhao Pengfei's footsteps, while Zhao Lei, indignant, was destined to play only a supporting role today.

At the same time, Xu Tian also arrived. Today, he specially changed into the suit that Chu Lan had bought for him, just in case he looked like a toad standing next to Chu Lan.

Zhang Qian's engagement banquet and Chu Lan's birthday banquet were held in two separate halls, so Zhang Qian was unaware that there were other banquets besides her engagement banquet today.

As the makeup artist applied her makeup, she anxiously looked towards the door, hoping that familiar figure would appear.
