The phone that she had been holding in her hand to take pictures vibrated.
[Li Yiru: @Wushuang, has the proposal taken place yet? What’s the matter? It shrank less than 3 carats?]
“Will you marry me?”
Huo Wencheng lowered his head and held her hand.
Gu Wushuang’s body shuttered and she shrieked, “No. No…. I don’t!”
She wanted the grand gesture of being able to pick out the ring from all available ones too!
She didn’t want to be lesser than anyone else!
She was the daughter of the Gu’s, one of the top three wealthiest family in the city. Her boyfriend was the heir of the wealthiest family in the city. How was it possible that she didn’t get what the other woman had gotten?!
“Brother Cheng, now is not a good time.
“Let me wait a little bit longer and feel your sincerity. I am not feeling any sense of security right now.”
Huo Wencheng, who had ran around to all the stores the night before and went again early this morning to buy the ring, was dumbfounded when he heard that.
“You don’t feel that… I am sincere about this?”
Hearing that, Mother Gu’s face changed colors.
“Ah, don’t listen to her. I think what she meant was that she felt uncertain about her future as the date of her travelling overseas to be treated is coming up.”
Huo Wencheng lowered his hands in disappointment.
Wasn’t the whole purpose of getting married before going overseas to provide her with a sense of security?
No matter what the outcome would be, she would still be his wife and he would still take care of her.

Gu Shishi wanted to keep it low key but not everything wanted things to be kept low key.
Huo Sishen, for example, was one of those people.
As far as he was concerned, it had never occurred to him in the past before. Now that he was going to follow through with it, everything needed to be the best that money could buy.
Wedding photos and the banquet were the next items on the agenda after the ring.
He hired professionals to work on the design of the wedding invitation almost immediately and also started planning for the honeymoon.
As such, in less than three days’ time.
Almost every prominent family in the city got the news.
The not-so-reputable Big Brother Huo was going to marry Gu Shishi officially.
Overnight, everybody started eyeing the Huo’s and the Gu’s in surprise.
Even though rumor had it that Big Brother Huo had been moved out of the Huo’s family, the invitation that they received suggested otherwise.
The design of the invitation was stylish and also luxurious.
In addition to the elegant and poised calligraphy, there was also an artwork of a bride and groom standing together at night in their tall and shapely silhouette made out of diamond powder.
Anyone who wanted to sell this would be able to fetch a good price for it.
The work put into this invitation was unmatched by any previous weddings.
The wedding banquet was scheduled on October 31.
Not only was it a good date at the end of the month and that it would be held at Maldives, along with the invitation was also plane tickets for the entire family and also a flawless diamond from South Africa.
The level of luxuriousness and the thoroughness in the details of the arrangement made the recipients of the invitations felt very honored.
This was beyond the wealth of someone who had been banished from his family.
Would the Second Young Master Huo have a wedding that was equally luxurious?
That was the question that was on everyone’s mind.
[Zhou Mi: Have you guys received it yet?]
She was the next most active person after Luo Pingting.
[Zhou Mi: My folks have to work and my grandparents are also otherwise engaged. But I… am tempted to go take a look. I wonder how fancy the wedding banquet is going to be to live up to the fancifulness of the invitation.]
They have seen their fair share of parvenu riches and Second Generation Riches who had more money than they know what to do with them.
Yet it was the very first time they had seen invitations like this.
[233: That Diamond is forever is such a incredible touch. Mamma Mia, I wonder whose idea it was. Was it @ Gu Shishi, your idea?]
