Losing Her True Self

No matter how everyone felt, at the command of Huangfu Ruiling, the engagement ceremony for Huangfu Ruixiang took place with great splendor the following evening.

On the rooftop of the Huangting Hotel, representatives from various prominent families attended, creating a lively and vibrant atmosphere with colorful lights and clinking glasses.

Though Huangfu Ruixiang wore a smile, he harbored inner frustration. Regardless of his thoughts, the die was cast, and the engagement ceremony had to proceed. He was well aware that the ceremony must be carried out successfully.

Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying were also in low spirits, especially when inquiries about Huangfu Ruixiang's engagement partner circulated. The forced smiles on their faces were evident.

The sole person genuinely delighted was Zhong Yating. Having invested significant effort to marry Huangfu Ruixiang, she viewed the banquet as the gateway to a new world.
