My Beloved

Chapter 469 - TANG YUJIN'S ENGAGEMENT

Elder Tang continued, "On such a joyous day, there is another news I would like to share with you." When everyone quieted down, he announced, "My future heir, my grandson will be engaged tonight with the daughter of the president of Brown Co. - Ling Brown."

Everyone was surprised by the news but soon clapped their hands. At that time, Ling Brown entered the stage. She was wearing a pink gown with a silver design. Her outfit matched her fiance. She bashfully stood beside Tang Yujin.

Tang Yujin took out a pink velvet box and knelt before her. He opened the box and she could see a diamond ring. "Ling, I know it must have been difficult for you to keep waiting all these years. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have come out of my small world. You have broadened my view of the world and helped me to find a home for my heart. Please accept me even though I have flaws and become my home where my heart can rest."

His words were sincere and gentle. His tone was filled with tenderness.

Ling Brown already prepared her heart for the engagement. However, listening to his words made her eyes teared up. She had realized that without her realization, she had fallen for him long before.

She wiped her eyes and held his hand. She replied with a smile, "All right, I will be your home."

The hall once again filled with the sound of applause and everyone congratulated the young couple.

"I hope they get along well in the future," Beth commented while clapping her hands.

"They will. Yujin is a professional when it comes to business," Sean remarked. He came with Beth.

"That's not what I want though. I hope they will be genuinely happy," Beth spoke with concern.

Zheng Mian frowned and mumbled, "It depends on Yujin whether he wants to live in the past or the present. He knows it's his fault for letting go of Luo's hand. If he agreed to this marriage, Yuan didn't have the slightest chance."

Beth couldn't agree more, "You are right. At that time, Luo didn't know she liked Yuan. She had a crush on Yujin and thought it was one-sided. I think this is for the best. No matter how good Yujin is, Yuan is best for Luo. Luo is smart but she gets hurt easily and she is too fragile when it comes to emotions.

"A sly fox like Yujin could never make her happy. Even his family treats marriage as a business. On the contrary, Yuan's family thinks of Luo as their own daughter. Yuan is no exception. He was always true to her and never tried to outsmart her."

"That's why I always prefer Yuan for Luo," Zheng Mian said.

Beth looked around and stated, "By the way, I don't see Ming. Where is he?"

Zheng Mian answered, "Luo is working in the background. I think he went to help her backstage."

Elder Tang was pleased with his grandson. He declared, "I would like to announce the good news. The daughter of my nephew, Tang Mei, will get engaged with the son of president Han of Han Co, Han Sheng Ming."

As he finished announcing, there was another round of applause. Everyone started to praise Elder Tang's keen eye for business.

On the other hand, some people weren't happy.

"What!" Beth exclaimed as she confusedly looked at Elder Tang.

Sean quietly glanced at the stage, not understanding what was happening. At first, he thought it was a joke but then again, he worked with the Tang Co. and knew very well how serious Elder Tang was.

"…" Zheng Mian quietly gazed at Elder Tang. It was as if time froze. For the first time in her life, she didn't know how to react. She nervously waited for something to happen.

Meanwhile, Han Sheng Ming was in the back stage with Han Luo and Mo Yuan. While Han Luo instructed the workers, they just accompanied her. The three of them were shocked by the announcement.

"Who… who's getting engaged to whom?" Han Sheng Ming nervously asked. He couldn't believe his ears.

"I'm pretty sure that was your name, big brother Ming." Han Luo didn't seem to believe this either.

Han Sheng Ming started to panic, "What? Why is he announcing my name? What have I ever done to him?"

At that time, Han Changhong came to the back stage. He looked like he was looking for his son. He saw his son and hurried him, "What are you doing standing here? Go to the stage!"

"But… why me?" Han Sheng Ming got even more puzzled.

"Just go to the stage and put this ring in the girl's finger." Han Changhong placed a velvet box in his son's hand and pushed him to the stage.

"What girl?" Han Sheng Ming frantically looked around.

Han Luo stated, "There is a girl on the stage. That must be her."

"I don't even know that girl!" Han Sheng Ming exclaimed. He wasn't moving as if his legs were frozen.

Outside, people were waiting for Han Sheng Ming to enter the stage. As he was late, their murmur filled the hall. Elder Tang looked at the back stage. Expression of displeasure was printed on his face.

Seeing the odd situation outside and his son's stubbornness, Han Changhong grabbed his son's arm and walked on the stage by dragging him

"Dad…." Han Sheng Ming hissed. He couldn't react in front of everyone because he didn't want to make a fool of his father.

Han Luo's face was pale. She grabbed Mo Yuan's hand in concern.

Mo Yuan squeezed her hand to ease her worry. He wasn't practically worried. After all, it wasn't him who was being engaged to a girl he didn't know.

The girl on the stage was an elegant beauty. She was wearing a red Cheongsam with a golden design. Her dark hair was tied in a bun and there was a gold hairpin. She put on a simple makeup.. Overall, she was the complete opposite of Zheng Mian.
