Chapter 953: Chapter 31: Xiao Chong Extra Story 31
The two entered Lin Wanwan’s room, where Lin Wanwan turned on the fan and showed Gu Jingyu the painting by Xiao Chong hanging on the wall.
"How about this painting, what do you think?"
"I don’t understand much about paintings, I just think it’s wonderful." Gu Jingyu admired it for a while, then turned to look at her curtains, "The painting on this curtain is beautiful too. You’re so extravagant, using such a nice painting as a curtain?"
"The curtain I bought online, it should be computer printed." Lin Wanwan said.
"How is that possible? This is obviously hand-painted. Printed ones don’t have this tone, look closely."
Lin Wanwan looked closely. Truthfully, she had always suspected that the curtain was hand-painted: "Maybe the seller sent the wrong one."
"How much did you pay for the curtain?"
"Over a hundred."
"Wow, what a bargain!"
After looking at the painting, Gu Jingyu’s attention was drawn to the rose phonograph sitting on the desk: "Wow, it’s a rose-only eternal flower! Did your boyfriend give it to you?"
Lin Wanwan nodded: "Yes, you know this?"
"It’s really expensive! Yours is a large size, it costs nine thousand!" Gu Jingyu was very interested in fashion brands and willing to pay for brand premiums.
After the college entrance exams, everyone was keen on graduation trips, and she used the travel fund given by her parents to buy a four thousand-dollar 18K smile necklace.
Plus, she’s an experienced user of Xiaohongshu, naturally familiar with this brand’s eternal flowers.
Lin Wanwan gasped upon hearing the flower’s price: "This flower is so expensive! On online platforms, eternal flowers are just a couple of hundred!"
"Eh, a couple of hundred can’t be considered eternal flowers; they’ll rot in a year. This one, well-preserved, won’t wither for a decade. But your guy is well-off, with a dowry selection in the millions, a rose-only eternal flower is nothing."
Gu Jingyu moved the dial, and Xiao Chong’s deep voice emerged.
"Enter my door of longing, know the pain of my longing, long yearning and long memories, short longing and endless extremes. Wanwan, you promised I’d be first, is it time?"
Lin Wanwan could not stop it in time, and her face turned red.
"Wow, that’s so romantic, that’s how he confessed! Oh my, I’m so moved I could cry, your campus heartthrob is too good, a heavenly boyfriend!" Gu Jingyu was filled with envy, just imagining it brought pink bubbles to her mind.
"Uh, he does seem pretty smooth." Lin Wanwan had to admit, she was really touched at that moment.
After looking at Lin Wanwan’s treasures and chatting about girl things in Lin Wanwan’s room, both were getting too hot, and ran back to Xiao Chong’s next-door room for air conditioning.
In a little while, Lin Wanwan’s cousin Su Yanwei became Xiao Chong’s little fanboy.
Just by seeing Xiao Chong’s sword flower technique, which middle schooler wouldn’t be captivated?"
The four young people didn’t stay long in the attic, checking the time, they headed to Time Hotel.
The engagement party venue was prepared directly by the wedding company, balloon arches, flower paths, host controlling the scene, very atmospheric.
The number of attendees wasn’t large, mainly close relatives and friends of both parties, only about six tables.
Three tables for the groom’s side, two for the bride’s, and one for mutual friends.
Xiao Chong’s brothers all came, and Lu Shouyue naturally came too. Lin Wanwan only had Gu Jingyu as a friend, no other friends to invite, so they later invited teachers from both sides to fill up numbers.
Lu Shouyue was impressed with Xiao Chong holding an engagement party right after graduating; at 24, he still doesn’t know what love is!
Dating couldn’t compare to the allure of career building, he vowed to make his auction house world-class and his venture capital company top-notch.
No need to surpass his elders, just shouldn’t be much worse.
Outside of business, Lu Shouyue preferred hanging out with his buddies, drinking and having fun, not having women around, annoying.
From his view, those base human desires can be completely controlled. After all, if a person couldn’t even control their primal desires, how talks of success?
Money and power were the highest desires.
As for Xiao Chong tying himself down upon reaching adulthood, all Lu Shouyue could say was "Haha," blessings, but no jealousy.
However, halfway through the drinks, when Xiao Chong pulled Lin Wanwan along to toast, Lu Shouyue, through his drunken eyes, had to admit, this bride-to-be was really worthy of early action.
Aside from the faint baby fat on her face, everything else was his aesthetic preference, like someone grew her features from his heart.
