“PaPa, MaMa, are we going to take pretty photos?” ngng handed the bouquet to Zhang Han and asked in a low voice.
“We’ll take pictures later.”
Zhang Han smiled and patted ngng’s little head.
“As we can see, our groom-to-be is holding an engagent ring as a symbol of their love. Now you may give the ring to your beloved fiancee, and the bride-to-be may give the ring to your beloved fiance as well...”
While the host gave the speech, Zhang Han slowly opened the ring box. The staff quickly moved the cara to point at the ring.
To everyone’s surprise, the ring was not a diamond ring.
It was a pair of rings with transparent edges like crystal. Many noble ladies were astonished.
“What an extraordinary ring. I have never seen a ring like that before.”
“It must be made of rare materials, right? It looks better than a diamond ring.”
Lei Tiannan’s eyes narrowed and he murmured sothing when he saw the ring on the platform.
“Space Ring!”
The expressions of all the martial artists changed a little bit.
Space rings were common, but most of them were silver. It was very difficult to refine space rings into a crystal shape.
The looks on their faces were grave when they stared at Zhang Han. It seed that they knew him better, but they could never figure out how strong he was. His trump card was always elusive. He was unlike many other famous masters, as they had their own signature. They were masters in tai chi, fire, or other things. But when it ca to Zhang Han, they could only co up with one word.
Unpredictable.
There was no doubt that being friends with such a person was great. And if he were to be an enemy, nothing good could co of it.
In front of everyone, Zhang Han put the ring on the third finger of Zi Yan’s left hand.
The ring was big, and Zi Yan felt that it would slip from her finger if she slightly waved her hand. She didn’t expect that the ring would shrink to fit her finger perfectly.
Zhang Han took Zi Yan’s hand and left a kiss on it. He looked at her softly and said nothing.
Zi Yan’s beautiful eyes blinked, then she also took her ring and slowly put it on Zhang Han’s left ring finger.
Once they put on the rings, they stared at each other, smiling happily.
anwhile...
“Huh? What about mine? PaPa, where is my ring?”
ngng pouted and looked up at Zhang Han.
“Er...” Zhang Han looked at ngng and thought for a mont. “Because ngng is still growing, your hands will grow bigger, so you can’t wear a ring.”
“Is that right? Well, then I don’t want a ring. Is there any other surprise? Shall I close my eyes?” ngng’s eyes were full of expectation.
As a father who adored his daughter, Zhang Han didn’t let her down, so he nodded and smiled.
“Of course, close your eyes.”
“I’ll close my eyes.”
ngng closed her eyes. The bouquet of flowers in Zhang Han’s right hand shook a little bit, then suddenly a small corolla appeared.
The corolla was made of rose petals and was put in front of ngng.
Zhang Han said, “Okay, open your eyes now.”
ngng imdiately opened her eyes and said excitedly, “Oh, what is this?”
“It’s a corolla. Putting it on will make you more like a princess.” Zhang Han chuckled and put the corolla on ngng’s head.
ngng carefully touched it and smiled in satisfaction.
Waiting off to the side, the host started to talk again. He would normally follow his routine of hosting a wedding, but he noticed that it might interrupt their talking. Today, his mission was as follows:
He had to hold the engagent party with great caution. If he did, he would get a promotion and a pay rise. If he failed, his company was finished.
Only a fool would choose the latter, and he was no fool. So he was careful and not in a hurry. The audience was patient, and they were all major figures. There was no need for him to be anxious.
Seeing that they finished talking, the host said, “Now let’s please welco Wang Ming and Rong Jiaxin, they represent Mr. Zhang’s family!”
Then Wang Ming and Rong Jiaxin stepped on the stage.
“For certain reasons, Mr. Zhang’s parents couldn’t show up. Ms. Rong Jiaxin, as an aunty, represents Mr. Zhang’s senior to witness the engagent. Two seniors in the Zi Clan are also here, Zi Jiangshan and Wang Zhanzong. Let’s welco them.”
Zi Jiangshan and Wang Zhanzong also went on the stage.
Zi Jiangshan, as a leader, first took over the microphone.
He looked around the audience and slowly said, “Now, Han is part of the Zi Clan. I’m very happy to see them have a good life. By tradition, Han has already given a generous gift as a dowry. I won’t say more about what it is. As a gift in return, it’s a blessing for us to give you two billion yuan on this bank card. Count it as icing on the cake.”
Zi Jiangshan handed the bank card to Zhang Han.
“Thank you, old man.” Zhang Han took the card.
Zhang Han didn’t care that much about money. However, the Zi Clan, as a business giant, had given them two billion yuan, which was quite a gesture.
It made a stir in the audience.
People in the square said that the Zi Clan was extrely wealthy, but they didn’t understand that in the martial arts world, money was nothing more than a number.
Then the microphone was handed to Wang Zhanzong.
“Oh.” Wang Zhanzong coughed softly, then smiled and said, “I don’t know what to say. In fact, I’m not an imdiate family mber, but I know that Han is a nice and very capable young man. He is neither arrogant nor impetuous. What’s more important is that he cares about others’ feelings. I can only wish them to have an everlasting love, er, and we are all very happy for him to have Zi Yan as his wife.”
“Yes, please go back to your seats,” the host continued.
He asked Zi Qiang and Wang Ming to make a speech, during which people had been taking photos.
ngng wanted to take pictures with PaPa and MaMa as a family. So after Zi Qiang and others sat down, the family took so pictures. ngng was satisfied.
“Now I announce that Zhang Han and Zi Yan’s engagent party begins!”
After the host said this loudly, so dishes were brought in one after another.
ngng sat beside Rong Jiaxin and took so bites of food. Zhang Han and Zi Yan, following Zi Qiang, gave a round of toasts on the platform.
Major figures all stood up with a smile when they ca to toast.
Back in their seats, they were all talking and laughing.
The round table was big, so ngng couldn’t get to so dishes in the distance.
Rong Jiaxin and Xu Xinyu sat to the left and right of ngng. They had been adding food on ngng’s plate, so the little girl enjoyed the highest service.
Then they moved aside when Zhang Han and Zi Yan got back.
The engagent went on while they were all chatting.
“Yan, Han, by tradition, you could go back to our place tomorrow. Today, the floor where we stayed last ti in the castle hotel is all yours. You can go there in the afternoon.”
Zi Qiang looked at Zi Yan and waved his hand. He sounded a little bit sad.
Zi Yan pursed her lips, and they all went silent.
Then ngng looked up and asked Zi Qiang, “Grandpa, are you coming with us?”
As soon as the little princess spoke, the atmosphere was enlivened.
Zi Qiang smiled, then shook his head slightly and said, “Grandpa won’t go today.”
“Well, that’s great,” ngng said happily.
“???” Zi Qiang was stunned on the spot.
“Poof...” Zi Qingtian sprayed the tea on the ground.
He looked at Zi Qiang in surprise.
“How annoying this guy is in his granddaughter’s eyes!”
Zi Jiangshan and Wang Zhanzong at the table were also stunned and looked at Zi Qiang strangely.
They all thought, “Did he do sothing unforgivable to annoy ngng?”
People were staring, so Zi Qiang was embarrassed.
He looked at ngng and asked in a low voice, “Sweetie, do you dislike Grandpa?”
“I like you!” ngng looked innocent.
“Then why do you think it’s great that Grandpa doesn’t go?” Zi Qiang asked curiously.
“Well, because tomorrow I will be able to eat the egg tarts made by Grandpa when I co back with PaPa and MaMa!” ngng said and chuckled.
The little girl’s words made everyone laugh.
“Hahaha...” Zi Qiang was relieved as he looked at the others and smiled proudly.
“See? In just a few days, my granddaughter began to like my egg tarts!”
“By the way, Mom and Dad, we plan to go back to Hong Kong tomorrow. We’ll leave in the morning after breakfast. You should also pack up,” Zi Yan said after taking a small bite.
“You are leaving tomorrow morning? Won’t you stay for a few days?” Dong Ling paused and asked.
“Well, ngng is about four years old. We are going to ask about sending her to kindergarten this ti.” Zi Yan nodded.
“Well, that’s important. ngng is almost four years old. It’s not too early nor too late for her to experience communal life.” Dong Ling understood.
“Kindergarten again, anyway I...”
ngng pursed her lips and murmured sothing.
Zi Yan figured that the little girl seed to say “then I will have PaPa co to kindergarten with .”
She was a little sad and beca more determined to send the little girl to kindergarten.
Their little girl had stayed with Zhang Han for more than two months. She thought that it couldn’t go on forever. Zi Yan was reluctant to send the girl to kindergarten also, but she had always been a strict parent when it ca to the girl’s education.
Even if girls were more obedient than boys when they were young, Zi Yan knew about Zhang Han’s past and the power in the martial arts world, so she felt that it was better for ngng to live a normal life and learn so common knowledge before Zhang Han taught their daughter to practice martial arts or learn related knowledge.
“Fine. Your father and I will pack up in the evening,” Xu Xinyu said with a smile.
“How long will you be gone? What about things here?” Zi Qingtian asked Zi Qiang.
“Those projects we have discussed before can go on, you know them well. I don’t have much to do in the early stages. I will take a few days off in Hong Kong. If Chairman Liu has ti, we can work with each other on so good projects.” Zi Qiang looked at Liu Qingfeng with a smile.
“Oh, that’s great. That’s what I want. Elder Brother Zi, if you need anything, please don’t hesitate to ask.” Liu Qingfeng laughed.
“Fine. The younger generation, Zi Feng and others, could give it a try in the next few projects,” Zi Qingtian said.
The family rules were gone. Now the Zi Clan was trying to cultivate so capable young n. Obviously, Zi Feng was outstanding.
Zi Feng, sitting off to the side, heard them and got excited. It was his chance to achieve sothing.
He looked at Zhang Han with more respect and worship.
If one is strong enough, they could change the rules!
The party was heated, while invited local singers were singing and sending blessings.
The party lasted until two o’clock, then the guests began to leave.
Liu Qingfeng, Tang Jiayi, and others were returning to Hong Kong in the afternoon.
Before leaving, Chairman Liu of the Royal Entertainnt Company looked at Zhang Han and Zi Yan.
He said with a smile, “Zi Yan, it’s a good day for you. I also have good news. The sales of your album ‘Eternal’ have exceeded 700,000. There is still half a day to go. The first day’s sales volu will definitely exceed one million. It’s estimated to break the record of 1.1 million. Congratulations.”
“Thank you,” Zi Yan said with a smile. She was happy.
She felt that she was so lucky to get engaged and make progress in her career on the sa day.
People left one after another, only the Zi Clan’s n, the Wang family, and Zhao Feng stayed.
“Go ahead.”
Zi Qiang smiled and patted Zhang Han on the back, saying, “I like you very much, in spite of your power. But if you don’t take care of Zi Yan, I will be mad at you.”
“Don’t worry. I won’t let Zi Yan suffer even a little injustice.” Zhang Han nodded.
“Well, I believe in you. Leave now.”
Zi Qiang smiled.
“Mom and Dad, we’ll be back tomorrow morning,” Zi Yan looked down and said.
“OK, we’ll prepare breakfast for you tomorrow,” Xu Xinyu said with a smile.
“Then we are leaving, Grandpa and Grandma, see you.” ngng waved her small hand to the crowd.
Then they got in the rcedes Benz and slowly drove to the castle hotel in Resorts World Sentosa.
Seeing the leaving cars, Zi Qiang’s eyes were slightly red, as he was a little sad.
“Ah...”
He sighed deeply and had a rather complicated feeling.
...
In the car, Zi Yan knew Zi Qiang’s feelings, so she was a little upset as well.
Fortunately, their daughter was like a happy elf in the car.
ngng humd a song and waved her arms, then she murmured, “We are going to the amusent park again, Papa, MaMa. I want to explore the water park and the long slide. Shall we play later?”
“Well, we’ll play later.” Zhang Han smiled.
So they got out of the car and went to play in the water park until it was getting dark.
In the evening, they rested in the princess suite.
Rong Jiaxin, Zhang Li, Zhou Fei, and others left the couple alone. Zhang Li, Zhao Feng, Zhou Fei, and others gathered in a room to play cards.
Zhang Han and Zi Yan stayed with ngng in bed until 10 o’clock, then they all fell asleep.
In the morning of the next day, they got up and returned to the Zi Clan at seven o’clock.
After breakfast, they took their own luggage and took the helicopter on the lawn.
On the platform, as three generations of the Zi Clan ca out and watched the helicopter leaving, they had mixed feelings.
They didn’t expect that Zi Yan could bring such an excellent husband into their family.
It was a dreamlike feeling, but they all knew that the Zi Clan would be back in their pri, as they were a hundred years ago.
The helicopter just took off.
In front of the Manor of the Li Clan in Hong Kong, a black rcedes Benz E-class stopped at the gate.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Four people got out of the car. A sharp man with a flattop haircut in his 50s ca out of the passenger seat. His eyes looked a little muddy, as if they were covered in a protective color.
Three 30-year-old n were also out of the car. The driver was Protector Du, a disciple of the Heavenly Elixir Sect who once went to Mount New Moon.
“Elder Xu, do you know Grand Master Li?” Protector Du looked at the polite guard and asked in a low voice.
Elder Xu gave him a cold glance and ignored him after a groan.
Protector Du gave him a wry smile. When he called Elder Xu, he could feel the dissatisfaction over the phone. Obviously, Elder Xu was angry that they didn’t accomplish the mission. He scolded them and said that he didn’t understand why they couldn’t take the furnace back directly. No one dared to ask about it back at the Heavenly Elixir Sect. What’s more, the situation had changed.
Protector Du said nothing when Elder Xu was giving a lecture. They all knew that Elder Xu had a bad temper.
When he arrived at the Li family, Protector Du asked the question. He felt aggrieved. He said that there were two powerful spirit beasts on the mountain, which elder Xu refused to believe. He just said that they didn’t get the job done. Anyway, Elder Xu was just picky.
Hearing Elder Xu’s cold groan, Protector Du didn’t dare to ask more. Two people behind them even pulled back. If Elder Xu got angry, he would punish his own disciples.
They went to the main residence under the guidance of Li’s servants the entire ti.
Inside, there were eight n, all core mbers of the Li family.
Among them, Patriarch Li got up and bowed.
“Welco, Elder Xu. Please take a seat.”
Elder Xu’s cold face now showed a smile. After nodding to the patriarch, he looked at Li Zhan in the seat of honor, then bowed and said, “Senior Brother Li.”
“I once said don’t call senior. We are not from the Qiwu Sect, just call Brother Li,” Li Zhan waved and said.
“All right, Brother Li.”
Elder Xu showed a smile that only the two of them understood.
They ca from the Qiwu Sect in the Northwest Dawn. During the fight with Lan Ling Pavilion, they left with so natural precious materials, hiding in normal peoples. Two years later, they heard that the Qiwu Sect was destroyed. No one knew them, so they dared to appear in public.
“My n were incompetent. I need to co here myself and drop by,” Elder Xu sat beside Li Zhan and said with a smile.
“I’ve heard. Lei Tiannan did the wrong thing. He took away the five elents furnace and lent it to another person. I have so doubts about his ability to sit in the position of director.” Li Zhan shook his head and showed contempt for Lei Tiannan.
Lei Tiannan ranked 11th on the list of Hong Kong’s Top Martial Artists, so he was good.
However, Li Zhan was third on the list. In the early years, one fierce fight after another decided the rankings.
