Xiao Yi said pitifully: "Of course I won't dance with her. I've already planned it out. If you don't shoot me, I'll bid for myself. Anyway, the money will be used for charity and can also be used to promote the brand."

Zhong Yi and He Zhizhou sat not far away, looking at the two people on the dance floor. Zhong Yi touched He Zhizhou's arm and said, "Jia Wei really looks like Aunt Jing, she is generous and beautiful. She and Xiao Yi standing together are really a handsome man and a beautiful woman, aren't they a perfect match?"

He Zhizhou smiled and raised his glass, clinking it with Zhong Yi's: "It's true that they are a good match."

Zhong Yi sighed: "I heard that Xuan Bao is going to divorce Yang Shihui!"

He Zhizhou was stunned for a moment and replied, "I know."

"You know? Don't you have any idea? Aren't you envious of others who are in pairs?" Zhong Yi looked at He Zhizhou curiously.

He Zhizhou turned to look at Zhong Yi, drank the wine in the glass, and said: "Why do you all think that I have been single all these years because I can't forget Xuan Bao?"

Zhong Yi looked at He Zhizhou's calm expression and asked, "Isn't it?"

He Zhizhou smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Of course not. I am not a person who clings to the past. I am not in a relationship or married simply because I haven't met the right person yet!"

Zhong Yi looked at him suspiciously: "Really?"

He Zhizhou asked: "Do I need to lie to you about this?"

Zhong Yi immediately smiled and asked, "What kind do you like? I know a lot of people in this circle and I can introduce them to you."

He Zhizhou smiled bitterly, then looked at him as if he were a fool and refused: "Thank you for your kindness, but no thanks. You are still single. As for you, your father has given up hope on your talent for business. You should get married and have children as soon as possible so that your family can have successors."

Zhong Yi smiled and said, "Hey, I've already told my dad that I haven't had enough fun yet. Getting married? It's impossible to get married now. If he is anxious to train a successor, he can have another child with my mom and practice trumpet. I don't mind."

After hearing this, He Zhizhou laughed and said, "So, your father didn't beat you?"

Zhong Yi curled his lips, looking helpless and hurt: "The old man is not good enough, but he blames me. Otherwise, why do you think I didn't go home these days?"

He Zhizhou smiled and poured a glass of wine for Zhong Yi: "Among us, only Li Yan has achieved success in both family and career."

Zhong Yi quickly said: "If Sister Xinlan had married me at the beginning, I wouldn't need my old man to urge me now, and I would have been happy."

He Zhizhou looked at Zhong Yi as if he were an idiot: "She is your uncle's daughter, and you are cousins. It is illegal for close relatives to marry. Your father will beat you to death!"

Zhong Yi snorted coldly: "She is not my uncle's biological daughter. We are not related by blood."

He Zhizhou said: "But the law stipulates so."

Zhong Yi sighed heavily, picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all in one gulp: "So, we two golden bachelors can only drink alone here and watch others get married."

After the banquet, Xiao Yi, He Zhizhou and Zhong Yi all drank alcohol, and the banquet ended too late, so they asked their drivers to leave early. In desperation, Li Jiawei could only ask her driver to take He Zhizhou and Zhong Yi home.

As for Li Jiawei, she left with Xiao Yi in the car arranged by the brand. The people at the brand knew the relationship between her and Xiao Yi. After all, as a brand spokesperson, Xiao Yi's words and deeds were restricted. Regarding the engagement, he had already informed the people or companies that needed to be informed in advance.

Therefore, Li Jiawei dared to take the car arranged by the brand because she knew that the driver would not reveal their relationship.

Back at the courtyard, Li Ronghua was sitting in the main hall. Li Jiawei took out the jewelry box containing the bracelet and placed it in front of Li Ronghua: "Dad, I think this bracelet is very suitable for Mom."

Li Ronghua took the jewelry box with a smile, opened it and took out the bracelet inside, examining it carefully under the light: "The water head is good, worth the price." Then, he took Li Jiawei's hand and gently put the bracelet on: "It really fits!"

Li Jiawei looked at Li Ronghua, hesitant to speak: "Dad..."

Li Ronghua patted Li Jiawei's hand gently and said with a smile: "Dad said that I will pay for your consumption tonight. This bracelet is yours since you bought it. You can keep it and wear it. Besides, this is the first thing you bought at an auction. It is very commemorative and you should keep it."

Li Jiawei said gratefully: "Thank you, Dad!"

Li Ronghua looked at Xiao Yi beside him, pointed to several exquisite boxes placed on the coffee table, and said, "These were sent by Mr. Xiao. He said they were for Jiawei and your engagement ceremony."

Xiao Yi looked at the box on the coffee table and sighed: "He called me, but I refused. I didn't expect him to send these things anyway."

Li Ronghua also sighed and asked, "The old man has a stubborn temper. How are you going to deal with these things?"

Xiao Yi took Li Jiawei's hand, sat down opposite Li Ronghua, and opened the boxes. Inside were all exquisite jewelry. He turned to Li Jiawei and asked, "Do you like it?"

Li Jiawei picked up a red velvet box, inside of which was a pair of gold rings with dragon and phoenix patterns carved on the ring faces, revealing a strong sense of age.

Xiao Yi was lost in thought when he saw Li Jiawei pick up the pair of gold rings. He gently stroked the female rings and said to Li Jiawei, "This was passed down from my great-grandfather. He and great-grandmother loved each other all their lives. When grandpa got married, great-grandfather gave this pair of rings to him and grandmother. Later, when grandpa passed away, grandmother kept this female ring. When she passed away, she left it to my father, and when my father married my mother, he passed this ring to my mother. Later, when the family was short of money, my mother sold this ring. I didn't expect that he found this female ring again now."

Li Jiawei sensed Xiao Yi's sadness, stroked his hand and said, "This pair of rings is very meaningful. After decades of separation, they are now reunited and still carry a century of emotions. Let's keep this pair of rings, okay?"

Xiao Yi looked at Li Jiawei and nodded: "Okay!"

Seeing that the two had made up their minds, Li Ronghua stood up and said, "Since you have made up your mind, I will not interfere. I will go to rest first, and you should also not stay up too late and rest early."

After Li Ronghua left, Xiao Yi took out the women's ring, knelt on one knee, and gently put it on Li Jiawei. Then, he stretched out his left hand and looked at Li Jiawei.

Li Jiawei picked up the men's ring with a smile and put it on Xiao Yi's ring finger.

Xiao Yi stepped forward softly and hugged Li Jiawei: "Jiawei, thank you!"

Li Jiawei hugged Xiao Yi back and patted his back gently: "Don't take it off next time."

Xiao Yi replied lovingly: "Okay, I will never pick it."

Li Jiawei held Xiao Yi's left hand and said with some concern: "If you don't take off the ring and are photographed by reporters, will it cause you trouble?"

Xiao Yi smiled and shook his head: "I already have a family, so I should slowly get used to the outside world."

Li Jiawei snuggled in Xiao Yi's arms and gently touched his lips: "You are mine!"

Xiao Yi picked up Li Jiawei and walked towards the bedroom: "I will be yours from now on."
