Lin Jian left the question to his friend and Xingyu didn’t need to think through the answer. "If Luna and I didn’t get together, then you can forget ever attending my engagent banquet."
When he saw that Cheng Yu was raising an eyebrow at him as though calling him out for being a lying jerk, he was helpless. "I’m telling the truth. I fell in love with Luna at first sight and before that, I had never loved any woman. Which ans that if I didn’t ever see her, then I wouldn’t ever fall in love."
Cheng Yu crossed her arms. "Let’s be realistic here. You are the only son in your family so definitely, you would get into a conflict with your parents if you decided to never get married. Are you sure you wouldn’t go for the next option if Luna rejected you for too long? For example, Lanni?"
"Don’t say such terrifying things! Lanni is Xiehan’s girlfriend." Xingyu waved his hands.
"What if she wasn’t?" Xiaoshi joined in.
"What I an is, she is Xiehan’s girlfriend so we cannot make such jokes about her."
Seeing that Cheng Yu was about to co up with another question, Lanni chuckled and patted her shoulder. "That’s enough. Luna will kill us if we wreck her engagent party."
Xingyu sighed in relief and looked at Lanni like he had seen a saviour.
However, an even more difficult question landed. "How can you tell my sister and I apart?"
"Why would you be called identical if anyone could tell you apart? I an, if your hair was not a different color, I bet even your mother wouldn’t know who is who." Lin Jian ca to his friend’s rescue.
"Yeah. Are you sure you would be able to recognize yourself correctly if the two of you stood in front of a mirror?"
Xingyu’s cousin, who had just joined in the fun, added.
In response to their words, Lanni let out an evil smirk. "That’s the point. If I rember correctly, a certain soone once recognized his girlfriend wrongly and kept bugging his sister-in-law." If such a thing happened again, the repercussions could be tragic.
"I’m sorry. It will never happen again." Xingyu was ashad of himself when he recalled how he had insisted that Lanni was his girlfriend and almost caused a misunderstanding between Xiehan and Lanni.
Holding a hand over his chest, he added, "I know my wife now. Whenever she is around, my heart picks up its pace and I feel like my life is finally complete. This feeling will never be present with any other woman no matter who she is."
"Jeez! You didn’t have to do that, you know! You even threw your dog food at your groomsn." Lin Jian lanted.
Cheng Yu took a peek at Xiaoshi suspiciously. The girl looked like a dagger had been thrust through her heart, proving them right. So Xiaoshi really did have feelings for Xingyu.
"One more thing and you will pass my test." Lanni announced. "You have to promise all of us that you will treat Luna well. She is precious to us, you know." She looked at the girls, who nodded in agreent.
Then she added seriously, "You must accept that every ti you bully her, we will give you a good beating and punish you whichever other way we find suitable."
Xingyu did not bat an eyelid. "I accept whatever punishnt you decide, and I also promise that you will not need to use it on ."
Lanni nodded in satisfaction. "You better keep your promise."
"Are we really needed here?" Lin Jian whispered to Xingyu’s cousin. The man had managed to pass every test on his own, after all.
"Mine is a simple question." Xiaoshi said when it was her turn. "Which brand of makeup is Luna using tonight?"
Lanni and Cheng Yu giggled, while the n were flabbergasted. The girls are the ones who chose and did Luna’s makeup. How would Xingyu know?
They would not be able to co up with the correct answer even if they racked their brains for hours.
"I guess this is where I co in." Lin Jian puffed his chest out proudly. He had bought makeup for so many girls that he knew all the popular brands. Since Luna was the daughter of a wealthy businessman and the fiancée of an even wealthier CEO, she should logically go for the best brand regardless of the cost. Hence, he started listing off luxurious makeup brands. "Galaxy?"
Xiaoshi shook her head.
"Starry Night?" He tried again.
Xiaoshi once again shook her head.
At this rate, they could spend the whole day guessing. Hence Xiaoshi ca up with a rule. "If the third guess is wrong, you fail."
Lin Jian felt his head shatter. But he was betting on three more brands! He turned to Xingyu pitifully. "I have failed you..."
Just as the girls celebrated teasingly about how Luna was once again theirs, Xingyu calmly spoke. "G&M."
The girls exchanged shocked glances then stared wide-eyed at him. "Did you take a peek?"
"Did you text Luna to ask? That’s cheating!"
Xingyu chuckled. "Of course not. Do I even need to?
My wife’s skin is a little more sensitive than average people, so she is usually very careful. Since G&M brand majorly focuses on sensitive skin, people with allergy to certain makeup products and expectant won, Luna has always used this brand."
Xiaoshi was amazed. "The question was ant to test how well you know your fiancée and whether you pay attention to the finest details. Well done, you pass."
"Woohoo!" Lin Jian yelped in excitent, even though he had barely contributed.
On that note, Xingyu was allowed into the dressing room to take Luna. She smiled radiantly when she saw him. "I knew those naughty girls would pull so tests on you."
He held her into his arms. "Forget simple tests from a trio of girls. No matter what tests life throws at us, we will always be victorious. My love, you look so beautiful that I want to cancel the engagent and just admire you all night."
"You can admire after the banquet." She hooked her arm around his. "The guests must be here. We shouldn’t keep them waiting."
...
On that note, the banquet began. After the introductory speech, Cheng Yu was going to get herself a glass of champagne when a strong hand pulled her away and she got dragged to a secluded section.
"What the hell are you doing?" She asked the culprit, Cedric Han.
The man looked wronged.
Seeing his pitiful deanor, she had the urge to pat his head. "Are you alright?"
He nodded and shook his head imdiately after. "I’m just as good as anyone could be when attending the banquet of his enemy."
She furrowed her eyebrows at his complaining tone. He had the guts to complain?! Wasn’t he the one who clung onto her like gum and insisted on coming to the banquet with her?
Seeing her accusatory tone, he whined. "I only wanted to spend so ti with you! Who would have thought..."
Cheng Yu had to admit that his skin really was thick. He could manage to go to the territory of the man he hated so much simply to spend so ti with the girl he liked?
Though she couldn’t totally bla him. When he confessed his feelings to her, she neither agreed nor refused to be with him and vaguely told him that she was not ready. Hence, he decided to wait for her. Alas, she had been avoiding him with all sorts of excuses so when he found the chance, he stubbornly clung to her.
"Yu, I’m bored. Let’s go sowhere more secretive and pass so ti."
She rolled her eyes at him. "What’s the point of going to a banquet if you are rely going to stay aside and pass ti? I’m going to use this chance to make connections with other people in the business circle."
"But, Yu..."
"One more word from you and I’ll deduct your salary by eighty percent." She cut him off.
Cedric was deflated. He had almost forgotten that Cheng Yu was his boss now. Although she also drew comics on the comic application, it didn’t change the fact that she was a co-founder of Moonlight Studios and that made her rank several tiers above him.
He was the heir to a regal conglorate and didn’t care much about the money he earned from drawing comics. However, he was still devastated when Cheng Yu threatened him. Would her heart ever soften and find a place for him?
