Chapter 268: 268: Yufei and I are also getting engaged_1
“Yufei, let’s go.” He started leading her out. But as they reached the door, someone pushed it open and entered.
Yan Yue saw Jian Yufei and Xiao Lang, her expression steady as a rock. However, her heart fluttered uneasily when her gaze fell on the messy room and Ruan Tianling’s gloomy expression.
“Tianling, what happened?” She ran to his side, gripping his arm and asked with concern.
Xiao Lang turned to her and lightly smiled, “Miss Yan, right? My name is Xiao Lang. I heard you and Ruan Tianling will be engaged soon?”
The news had just been broadcasted, but it hadn’t fully materialized. Yet, he seemed to have received it remarkably quickly.
Yan Yue glanced at Jian Yufei standing beside him, then responded with a graceful smile, “Yes, that’s correct. We’ve decided to get engaged next month. We would be delighted if you both could attend our engagement ceremony.”
“We’ll certainly be there to offer our blessings. By the way, Yufei and I are also getting engaged. If you guys would honor us with your presence, you’re warmly welcomed to attend our engagement ceremony too.” Xiao Lang maintained his elegant smile, his princely features exuding nobility.
Yan Yue huffed silently in her heart.
What was so special about Jian Yufei that such a man would want to marry her?
But the fact that she’s getting married was undeniably good news.
Her smile deepened, “Mr. Xiao, rest assured, Tianling and I will definitely send you both a wedding gift.”
Xiao Lang laughed lightly, then gazed tenderly at Jian Yufei, a soft smile on his lips.
“Let’s go.”
“Okay,” Jian Yufei responded with a nodding smile.
She hadn’t expected Ruan Tianling to get engaged to Yan Yue. Perhaps this meant he wouldn’t have the energy to bother her anymore.
“Tianling, why were they here, what happened?” Yan Yue held onto him, lifting her head to question him in confusion.
“Why did you come here?” The man counter-questioned instead of answering.
“Aunt invited us to have dinner together. I couldn’t get hold of you on the phone, so I called Wei Ping. He told me you were here.”
Ruan Tianling took out his phone. Indeed, there was a missed call that he had not been aware of.
Jian Yufei and Xiao Lang got into the car. When she had first walked into Night Emperor, she thought Ruan Tianling might try to pull something on her again.
But to her surprise, in less than half an hour, she ended up leaving with Xiao Lang and even agreeing to get engaged. It all happened so fast that she herself found it hard to believe.
“Put on your seatbelt.” Xiao Lang leaned over to fasten her seatbelt, ruffled her hair with a smile, “What are you thinking about, you’re in a daze.”
Jian Yufei shook her head with a laugh, “Nothing, let’s go. We should go back to the restaurant.”

Night fell over the Ruan family’s old mansion.
The dining table was laden with abundant food. Everyone sat down in order, with Yan Yue taking Tainling’s arm and sitting beside him.
The number of diners remained the same, but Jian Yufei was no longer there. Yan Yue had taken her place.
“Dad, Mrs. Ruan and I have already discussed it. The fifteenth of next month is a good day. What if we let Tianling and Yueyue get engaged then? The new year’s upon us, so it’ll be a good time for an engagement party. An auspicious day and occasion to enhance the festive air.” Mrs. Ruan suggested with a smile to Ruan Anguo.
