Chapter 953: Chapter 31: Xiao Chong Extra Story 31
The two entered Lin Wanwanâs 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 donât understand much about paintings, I just think itâs wonderful." Gu Jingyu admired it for a while, then turned to look at her curtains, "The painting on this curtain is beautiful too. Youâre 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 donât 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 Jingyuâs attention was drawn to the rose phonograph sitting on the desk: "Wow, itâs a rose-only eternal flower! Did your boyfriend give it to you?"
Lin Wanwan nodded: "Yes, you know this?"
"Itâs 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, sheâs an experienced user of Xiaohongshu, naturally familiar with this brandâs eternal flowers.
Lin Wanwan gasped upon hearing the flowerâs price: "This flower is so expensive! On online platforms, eternal flowers are just a couple of hundred!"
"Eh, a couple of hundred canât be considered eternal flowers; theyâll rot in a year. This one, well-preserved, wonât 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 Chongâs 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 Iâd be first, is it time?"
Lin Wanwan could not stop it in time, and her face turned red.
"Wow, thatâs so romantic, thatâs how he confessed! Oh my, Iâm 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 Wanwanâs treasures and chatting about girl things in Lin Wanwanâs room, both were getting too hot, and ran back to Xiao Chongâs next-door room for air conditioning.
In a little while, Lin Wanwanâs cousin Su Yanwei became Xiao Chongâs little fanboy.
Just by seeing Xiao Chongâs sword flower technique, which middle schooler wouldnât be captivated?"
The four young people didnât 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 wasnât large, mainly close relatives and friends of both parties, only about six tables.
Three tables for the groomâs side, two for the brideâs, and one for mutual friends.
Xiao Chongâs 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 doesnât know what love is!
Dating couldnât 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 shouldnât 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 couldnât 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.
