As they started to eat and chat happily, Ling Li’s voice cut through the chatter, “I have an announcement to make.” Her words piqued everyone's curiosity, and they held their chopsticks mid-air while all eyes immediately focused on her.
Ling Li took a deep breath, her heart pounding in her chest. “Chu Yan and I are getting married,” she announced, her voice steady but filled with emotion. The room erupted in applause and cheers, followed by congratulatory remarks from everyone present. Except for Mr. and Mrs. Xu, the rest couldn’t show that they already knew about it from their last night's secret meeting, planning for the big wedding proposal.
“Ling, thank you. We know our son Chu Yan loves you very much, and we wish you all the best. Your Father-in-law and I are truly happy for both of you,” Mrs. Xu said, her voice filled with sincerity and joy.
