"What about our engagement..." Lu Muyao hesitated, her eyes shimmering with tears.
Gao Yang said domineeringly, "There's no backing out!"
"And what about my uncle and aunt..."
"I will tell them the engagement banquet will proceed as planned!"
"Gao Yang, you're really kind..." Lu Muyao buried her face in his chest, a triumphant glint passing through her eyes.
Meanwhile...
After breakfast, Si Yechen brought Qing Yan to the largest amusement park in the capital city. It was Saturday, so there were many people here today.
"Have you been here before?" Si Yechen lowered his head and softly asked the girl beside him.
"No."
When she was younger, Lu Zhenhai and Xu Aiqin were often not at home. Not to mention taking her out to play, they didn't even have time to accompany her.
Si Yechen held her hand. "I heard kids like to come here."
So, he was treating her like a kid?
The ticket inspector saw this eye-catching pair for the first time and had difficulty looking away. The man was noble, and the woman was cold and heroic. They seemed destined for each other, a perfect match.
"Have a great time," the ticket inspector said after checking their tickets, then swiped the gate open for them.
Qing Yan took a map of the amusement park at the entrance. She didn't expect it to be so big, with many attractions to explore.
"Which one do you want to play?" Si Yechen asked softly, his head lowered.
Qing Yan's gaze fell on the map, and she found the nearest attraction to be the carousel. When she looked up, she thought that was too childish.
Si Yechen noticed her gaze was directed at the carousel not far away and assumed she was interested in it. He held her hand and walked towards it.
After all, she was still a child who liked riding carousels.
"It's quite sunny today, wear this first." Si Yechen put a sun hat he had prepared on her head and then handed her a sunscreen shirt and sunscreen spray. "Let me help you apply it."
"No need..." Qing Yan wasn't used to using sunscreen. Her skin was already very fair, thanks to her usual body care routine.
"Just a little spray, don't want you to get sunburned." Si Yechen sprayed some on her feet and then said, "Wait here for me, I'll go and queue up."
Qing Yan didn't expect him to be so considerate. Her heart suddenly warmed.
On the side, a middle-aged woman couldn't help but nudge her husband. "Look at them, he's handsome and caring. Look at yourself!"
With his beer belly and bald head...
"What's wrong with me?" the uncle felt wronged. "Good-looking guys like him are usually unreliable!"
"You're the unreliable one!"
Si Yechen asked Qing Yan to wait under the shade of a tree while he joined the queue.
Qing Yan noticed that he was dressed casually today, wearing a set of leisure clothes and carrying a sling bag on his back. He had the unique aura of a young man, fully revealed.
Surprisingly, he looks quite handsome without wearing a suit, with the vibrant spirit and youthful energy of a young man.
Following behind him were several college girls who couldn't help but notice Si Yechen's attractive face, causing hearts to flutter in their eyes.
"Hey handsome, are you alone?" "Can I add you on WeChat?" "We are all single and don't have boyfriends yet..."
Blushing, the girls nervously and expectantly awaited Si Yechen's response.
"I already have a fiancée," Si Yechen replied, his gaze shifting to a girl not far away. His eyes, filled with stars, softened instantly.
The girls realized that not only was he already taken, but the girl he was looking at was incredibly beautiful, surpassing them by a wide margin. They fell silent.
Qing Yan saw that he was almost done with the queue and walked towards him.
Si Yechen embraced her as she approached. "Why don't you take a break? It's hot here."
"We'll be on the ride soon."
Si Yechen noticed a hint of jealousy in her eyes and smiled warmly, his eyes charming and dashing. He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Are you jealous?"
Was he coming to assert his dominance?
"You're overthinking," Qing Yan replied calmly, her elegant face standing out in the crowd.
After a while, they got on the ride. Qing Yan wasn't particularly interested in the childish pumpkin car and the big horse, but with so many attractions in the amusement park, she didn't know what to play. So she decided to ride a white horse, looking cool and composed.
Si Yechen sat on the horse next to her, holding her hand, as if she were the only scenery in his eyes.
With the music starting, the two horses went up and down, and Si Yechen and Qing Yan gazed at each other.
The college girls behind them were envious; his fiancé was so gentle and handsome!
The middle-aged woman who had talked earlier was now pulling her husband's ear again. "Look at them! Without a second thought, he accompanies his girlfriend on the carousel. You, on the other hand, care too much about your image and find it embarrassing!"
"Ouch, it hurts! Let go of me! We came here to accompany our grandchild! It's not a date! Besides, isn't it too hot to hold hands in this summer weather?"
"You thick-headed man! You have no romantic bone in your body!"
Qing Yan looked into Si Yechen's eyes, feeling like there was a burning galaxy of flames inside, making her heart warm.
"Don't you find it childish?" she asked softly.
"If only you knew," Si Yechen held her hand and said, "every moment spent with you makes me happy. No matter what we do, as long as I see you smiling, I'm happy."
At this moment, a flash of light caught their attention. Qing Yan turned around and found that the female college student from earlier was actually taking their picture without permission!
The female college student was startled. She just thought the scene of them holding hands and looking at each other was beautiful, so she couldn't help but take a photo...
Si Yechen's eyes turned cold. "I'll deal with it."
As he was about to dismount, Qing Yan held his hand tightly and said, "No need, it's fine."
She didn't mind if the girl wanted to take more photos; after all, the girl didn't know their identities and posed no threat to them.
Si Yechen noticed the girl holding his hand, and his heart warmed. Subconsciously, he held her even tighter.
"How about we take a few photos too?"
"Huh?" Qing Yan was a bit surprised by his suggestion. "Sure."
Si Yechen took out his phone, took a few shots, and then realized that they were too far apart. He decided to dismount and ride together with Qing Yan on one horse.
"You..."
Never mind the rule that two people couldn't ride together on one horse. The close proximity made Qing Yan's face heat up.
"It's better this way." Si Yechen held her from behind, his handsome face lightly leaning against her shoulder.
The staff responsible for maintaining order pretended not to notice. He couldn't bear to approach such a handsome man and ask him to get down...
"Is this how couples take photos?" Si Yechen's voice just fell, and he lightly kissed her cheek. Qing Yan looked a bit stunned, and this scene was captured perfectly by Si Yechen's phone.
"Si Yechen!"
"Yan Yan, look at the camera." Si Yechen held her in his arms, his eyes sparkling like stars.
Normally, he seldom smiled; everyone in the company saw his cold and icy side. But with Qing Yan, he smiled a lot.
