"It’s nothing." Ding Jinshi’s father laughed, "I saw you talking with Lin Chan. Lin Chan has a sharp tongue, didn’t he find plenty of chances to tease you?"
"It was alright." Ding Long spoke as he led Ding Jinshi onto the stage. Hearing soone whistle from behind, he turned to see Lin Chan’s teasing face. In this lifeti, he and Lin Chan weren’t competing in any business, and because they both ca from big family backgrounds, their relationship was much better than in the past. Although Lin Chan was younger, he had entered the business world first, so at tis, Lin Chan even gave him so pointers.
Two elders from the Ding Family followed the main couple onto the stage. The first to speak was Ding Jinshi’s father, who gave blessings to Ding Long and Ding Jinshi. It was also a statent that both families acknowledged and blessed their union together.
No matter the era, only engagents recognized by family and elders were truly valid.
Ding Jinshi’s father spoke highly of Ding Long to the guests, while Ding Long’s father spoke highly of Ding Jinshi, telling the guests they were very pleased with each other’s child and the engagent as well.
After the four elders finished speaking, they stepped down to leave the stage for the younger generation. Ding Jinshi’s father was open-minded, and before stepping down, he didn’t forget to tease the young couple, directly telling the audience that an engagent is still a marriage, so they should feel free to tease the young couple.
Even though the social atmosphere of this era wasn’t as open as abroad, on joyous occasions like weddings and engagents, elders were still very tolerant of young people. For example, when it ca to teasing the couple, elders would sotis even join in with the fun.
The rings had been prepared in advance, and after putting them on each other, the two were formally engaged in front of everyone.
"Kiss each other!" Lin Chan was the first to instigate from below.
Ding Jinshi felt embarrassed, shaking his fist at Lin Chan in a threatening manner. But who was Lin Chan? Would he succumb to such a threat? The more you threatened him, the more he persisted. "No less than three minutes, a passionate kiss! Less than three minutes doesn’t count; you’ll have to do it again! Uncle Ding just said, an engagent is a marriage, so it should be as lively as a wedding! Everyone here today has given you generous gifts, if you don’t do this, we’re taking our gifts back!"
With Lin Chan’s words, Chen Shan was the first to clap and agree, "Yes, yes! Three minutes, a passionate kiss, listen, a passionate kiss. Don’t think you can fool us just because we haven’t been married. We know what a passionate kiss is like; we’ve seen it in movies, you know, like in foreign movies, not dostic ones, almost forgot to ntion!"
Chen Shan thought, Ding Long would surely thank her for a lifeti.
"Oh co on, why are you two just standing there?" When there is one, there are naturally two, three, four, and five following up. As the teasing began, the atmosphere in the banquet hall heated up. "Why are you still standing? Is it because Ding Long is not satisfied with his fiancée or Ding Jinshi with his fiancé? If you want, you can pick one of us down here to go up and pair with you."
"Get lost!" Ding Jinshi bent down, plucked a pink rose from the side of the stage, and threw it at the speaking old friend.
"A pink rose symbolizing love!" The more familiar they were, the more they took liberties. The man jumped up and caught it, saying, "Ding Jinshi threw a pink rose symbolizing love, it looks like he’s not satisfied with Ding Long as a fiancé. Is this a hint for to replace Ding Long to kiss you? Hold on, I’ll co up right away!"
"Try coming up here, get up here and I’ll kick you to death!" Ding Long laughed at the group of friends below. What they were thinking, couldn’t he guess? They were just taking the chance to tease him.
Ding Jinshi shuffled over to Ding Long, tugged at his sleeve, and in a voice as small as a mosquito’s, asked, "Really kiss?"
