half thorns, half joy

In a blink of an eye, it was mid-December.

It was the day that Xiao Zihan and Fan Li had agreed to start collecting the net.

Deng Li knew that he was going to leave soon, and it was not appropriate to make public at this time, so the engagement ceremony for Deng Langyue and Qin Tian was also held very low-key.

Of course, Deng Li would not say that. The reason Deng Li gave for the low-key engagement was that the two children did not want to be too high-profile.

Qin Tian didn't have much say in this relationship. When she and Deng Langyue were just strangers at the beginning, she could only bow her head and obey orders.Later, he developed a good impression of Deng Langyue, and he obeyed everything. Not only did he have no opinions, but he didn't even have the slightest complaint.

As for Deng Langyue, Deng Li thought that he had subdued Deng Langyue, no matter how much Deng Langyue had an opinion, he did not dare to speak out.

As everyone knows, Deng Langyue is obedient and obedient, and the reason why she doesn't talk too much and doesn't refute is to paralyze Deng Li.

In this way, on December 1000th in the Gregorian calendar, Deng Langyue and Qin Tian's engagement banquet was held at a restaurant [-] meters away from Deng's house.

This extremely simple engagement banquet only invited relatives of the two families, not even friends.

The layout of the engagement banquet was also very simple, it could even be said that there was no decoration at all.

About 20 people can sit in the big box, there are a few flower baskets, some balloons are scattered on the wall, and there are not many beautiful decorations.

To say that the only thing that stood out about this engagement banquet was the expensive attire of everyone present.

However, such a comparison shows the simplicity of this engagement banquet.

Deng Langyue seemed to have no perception of all this, she sat blankly in a chair in the corner, staring at a point of nothingness in the air in front of her, not knowing what she was looking at or thinking about.

Qin Tian stood not far from Deng Langyue, holding flowers in her hands, secretly looking at Deng Langyue from time to time.

One of the two was wearing a high-end custom-made suit, and the other was wearing the latest model dress on the show. If you don't know the internal reason, just looking at it this way, they are really a beautiful couple.

Accompanied by several bursts of hearty laughter, Deng Li and Qin Guoquan walked into the box talking and laughing, followed by a group of relatives of the two families.

"Come on, everyone sit down." Deng Li beckoned everyone to sit down.

There was a smile on his face, obviously very happy.

In contrast, Deng Langyue, who dragged his heavy feet and reluctantly sat beside Deng Li, seemed too dejected.

However, there were no outsiders in this engagement banquet, and everyone present knew what kind of engagement banquet it was, so they turned a blind eye to Deng Langyue's mournful expression.

Only Qin Tian, ​​who was sitting on the other side of Deng Langyue, looked a little bit disappointed and embarrassed.

Deng Li glanced at Deng Langyue from the corner of his eye, and stood up holding the wine glass in front of him.

"Today, my most beloved nephew, Deng Langyue, is engaged to Qin Tian, ​​daughter of the Qin family. I am very happy. It is my nephew's blessing and our Deng family's blessing to be married to Qin Tian. From now on, our Deng family will Treat Qin Tian like your own daughter. I hope Langyue and Xiaotian can walk hand in hand and grow old together!"

Deng Langyue sat on the side, listening to Deng Li's high-sounding speech, especially the words "most beloved nephew", she was so sick that she almost retched on the spot.

Deng Langyue didn't have such a deep understanding of how hypocritical a person can be before, but today she finally saw it.

The only thing he hopes now is that Xiao Zihan and Fan Li's people will come quickly, so that this nightmare that requires a forced smile will end soon.

If he is forced to watch Deng Li act like he loves him like this, he doesn't know how long he can last.

The layout of the engagement banquet was simple, and the process was quite simple. After Deng Li and Qin Guoquan spoke, Deng Langyue put on a ring for Qin Tian.

Deng Langyue knew in her heart that the engagement banquet would not go on, and also knew that he and Qin Tian would definitely not be together, so her attitude was lazy and it didn't matter.

He picked up the ring that the waiter handed over, and after a moment of silence, he put it on the finger that Qin Tian stretched out.

There are two rings, one gold ring and one silver ring. Both rings are wrapped with red thread. Both rings should be worn on the middle finger of Qin Tian's right hand, which represents eternal knot.

The person in front of her was not the one she wanted to marry, so when Deng Langyue was doing this, she didn't have any fluctuations in her heart that a new couple who was going to marry would have. His heart was as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

But when Deng Langyue put the two rings on Qin Tian's middle finger according to the rules, the moment he looked up and saw Qin Tian's expression, Deng Langyue regretted it.

The joy in Qin Tian's eyes and the shyness on her face are exactly like a woman looking forward to marriage.

At that moment, Deng Langyue understood that the engagement banquet, which he regarded as the "Last Supper", might be full of expectations for a better life for Qin Tian.

How could he give him such unreasonable expectations?

Deng Langyue didn't know what she was thinking too, and by the time he realized it, he had already taken the ring off Qin Tian's finger.

Suddenly, everyone was in an uproar.

"Langyue! What are you doing!" Deng Li lowered his voice and scolded Deng Langyue angrily.

Deng Langyue really wanted to turn around and leave this engagement banquet that was extremely false from inside to outside, but he knew clearly that he couldn't leave yet.

Before Xiao Zihan and Fan Li's people came, he had to stabilize these people present, especially Deng Li.

So, under everyone's gaze, Deng Langyue held the ring in his hand and chatted with Qin Tian seemingly casually.

"Qin Tian, ​​you are serious, from the bottom of your heart, are you willing to get engaged and married to me?"

Qin Tian was stunned, and looked at Qin Guoquan in confusion, then turned to Deng Langyue under Qin Guoquan's pressured eyes.

"Of course." She nodded with a smile.

Deng Langyue had already guessed this answer.

Deng Langyue didn't really want to ask Qin Tian anything, he just didn't want to put the marriage ring on Qin Tian's finger, so he was trying his best to delay the time.

"Don't you know that I am a romantic person, and I am not a good man at all?" Deng Langyue continued: "You know that I am such a person, are you still willing to marry me? would be a good husband, why are you willing to marry me?"

Qin Tian listened to Deng Langyue's questions with a blank face, not because of the information contained in Deng Langyue's words, but why Deng Langyue said these few words at this time.

The point is, in this case, Deng Langyue has already told her before, there is really no need to say it again.

After all, she had already answered Deng Langyue.

In the eyes of others, Deng Langyue's words at this time were nothing more than looking for trouble and destroying the atmosphere.

Deng Li's face turned dark, he squinted his eyes to stare at Deng Langyue, and issued a very unpleasant warning: "Langyue, what occasion is it now, in front of so many elders, don't mess around!"

"Uncle, I didn't mess around." Deng Langyue also pretended to be hypocritical, he smiled bitterly, and explained in a very sincere manner, "Marriage is a major event in life, I will be afraid, and I will want to ask more questions, It's normal too. I think Qin Tian probably has a lot to ask me."

As he spoke, his eyes collided with Qin Tian again, "What do you think, Qin Tian."

Although there were only 20 people present, these 20 people were all at the same table, and twenty pairs of eyes looked over at the same time, Qin Tian's face turned red in embarrassment.

Her two hands on her lap were twisted together, her lips were tightly pressed together, and she couldn't say a word.

Seeing this, Deng Li wanted to reprimand Deng Langyue again.

Qin Guoquan saw that the atmosphere was getting more and more embarrassing, so he hurried out to smooth things over, laughed and said, "It is said that the world has changed now, and young people have more and more novel ideas. It seems that this is true. Langyue has a personality, I like it !"

After listening to Qin Guoquan's words, Deng Langyue rolled her eyes in her heart and cursed: You like a hammer, you like it.

But Deng Langyue still didn't say anything on the face, she just twitched the corners of her mouth and smiled twice.

Fortunately, at this embarrassing moment, even Deng Langyue didn't know what to do next, there was a sudden commotion outside the box, and the sound of chaotic footsteps was getting closer.

Then, with a bang, the box door was kicked open from the outside.
