Chapter 464: Engagement

Translator: Xiong_Guoqi Editor: DesTheSloth

In the early morning, Yuan Zhou wasn’t the only person that was busy and warmed .

The shy man, namely the person that often came to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant for meals, took the hand of the girl beside him tight .

The girl was naturally the one that the shy man often waited to eat together .

“Who else do you think we should invite to our engagement?” The shy man took the girl’s hand carefully and looked at her with a distressed expression .

“We have invited all your relatives and friends and mine . Who else should we invite? I always feel we are missing someone . ” The shy man was a little puzzled .

Likewise, the girl nodded her head to show her consent .

“Who else should we invite?” The shy man looked at the girl and asked .

As usual, the girl shook her head and said nothing while looking at the man affectionately .

“A Luo, I won’t be able to help myself but kiss you if you look at me that way . ” The shy man bent over and said by the girl’s ear .

Instantly, the girl blushed thoroughly .

She reached out her delicate hand and pinched his waist .

“Hiss . . . It hurts . It’s all because you are too lovable, A Luo . ” The shy man shouted and meanwhile said that .

As soon as he shouted, the girl became so worried that she immediately checked him from top to bottom, fearing he might have gotten hurt .

“I’m lying, A Luo . Don’t worry . It’s not so painful . Let’s think over carefully whom else we should invite . ” The shy man held the girl’s hands and said earnestly to her with his eyes and eyebrows relaxing .

Only then did the girl called A Luo nod her head, but she still appeared a little angry .

“Be good, A Luo . If you still feel angry, you can hit me . ” The shy man started to coax the girl while taking her hands .

The way the shy man coaxed and amused the girl almost as skilled as Ling Hong . One was totally unable to tell how the man behaved when he had waited for her at the door of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant formerly .

The name of the shy man was Guo Rui . At that time, he had tried to approach the girl for almost one consecutive month in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant . He managed to sit beside the girl every time, but didn’t even say a single word to A Luo . Only when he saw her warm smile later did he dare to go up to talk with her .

He had persisted in that for another two months until the weather turned cold . Everytime he talked, however, A Luo just kept silent . At the beginning, he was quite frustrated, but when he saw the girl’s smile, he felt it all worthwhile .

The shy man managed to preserve in this way and eventually got the girl .

“What’s the matter?” Guo Rui looked at A Luo and asked her with puzzlement .

However, the girl just pointed at a small store without a shop sign behind them, but said nothing .

“Do you want to drink some water?” Guo Rui asked while looking at the conspicuous mineral water bottles in front of the store .

A Luo shook her head firmly, indicating that she didn’t .

“Then what do you mean?” Seeing A Luo make some gestures, Guo Rui still couldn’t understand her .

Nonetheless, Guo Rui finally reacted when A Luo pointed at the small store again .

“Got it . You mean Yuan Zhou’s restaurant . Oh, yeah . We forget to invite them . ” Guo Rui saw the light suddenly .

This time, A Luo nodded her head forcibly .

“Yeah, that’s it . It turns out that we have forgotten our matchmaker . ” Guo Rui pinched A Luo’s cheeks lightly and appeared to be happy .

Nevertheless, the girl got rid of Guo Rui’s hand reproachfully .

“Okay . I surrender . Let’s go to invite them now . ” Guo Rui immediately made a gesture of surrender and said with a spoiled tone .

Of the two lovers, the man spoke while the girl listened . There were no obvious changes since the moment Guo Rui went after the girl at the beginning . Then, they headed for Yuan Zhou’s restaurant together harmoniously .

When they passed a candy store, the girl stopped Guo Rui and went to select some similar invitation cards . Only when they wrote all the names on them did they leave .

The old granny had already left quite a while ago when they arrived there . And Yuan Zhou happened to finish sculpting the radishes and was preparing the ingredients for lunch .

“Hi, Boss Yuan . ” Guo Rui first greeted him .

Yuan Zhou tidied up the ingredients and washed his hands before he raised his head and looked at them .

When he saw the two lovers, however, he was a little surprised .

“The two of you really ended up together?” Yuan Zhou had actually heard of the question Ling Hong had once asked Guo Rui .

Well, Ling Hong told him about that when he drank liquor at night one day .

Though Yuan Zhou was actually quite interested in this matter in the heart, he appeared as normal as before .

He just answered lightly, “Hello . Business hours have not started yet . “

“We know that . We are just coming around to send the invitation cards . ” Guo Rui revealed a delighted look .

“Invitation cards? Are you getting married?” Yuan Zhou was truly astonished this time . He asked two questions continuously .

Once Yuan Zhou asked, the girl became a little shy with a blush appearing on her white face . Contrarily, Guo Rui answered Yuan Zhou smilingly, “No, but close to that . We are getting engaged . “

“Engagement is good . . . Oh, no . It’s also exaggerated to get engaged . ” Yuan Zhou tried hard and finally managed to refrain from gossiping, merely thinking that in his heart .

After all, Yuan Zhou was way too curious . Since Guo Rui had mentioned that he didn’t like the disabled, how come that he could end up together with A Luo .

For the sake of his own aloof figure as a prince charming, however, Yuan Zhou still nodded and said, “Please accept my best wishes . I’ll go and attend your engagement . “

“Thank you for your kind wishes, Boss Yuan . ” Immediately, Guo Rui took out an exquisite invitation card and handed it to him .

“You are welcome . ” Yuan Zhou received the card with his hands and put it in the drawer meticulously .

“And please tell them to attend my engagement, too . The invitation cards are all here . ” Guo Rui took out a bigger invitation card as exquisite as the former one this time .

Two mandarin ducks that swam intimately together were painted on the card . Furthermore, there was a big character of “Happiness” on the surface .

“What’s this?” Yuan Zhou received this invitation card with puzzlement .

“I’m thinking that Ling Hong, Wu Hai, and Man Man could attend the ceremony together, but it’s not good to send individual cards to each of them,” said Guo Rui . He felt a little embarrassed upon saying that .

His thought was very simple . If he gave each of them an invitation card, they probably would give back some cash gifts respectively and that would be embarrassing . If he gave only an invitation card to all of them as a whole, that would be more convenient .

The convenience offered to others would bring convenience to oneself . This was the thought of Guo Rui .

“Um?” Yuan Zhou didn’t react immediately . He was still curious about their love story .

“All their names are written on the invitation card . I’m inviting them whole-hearted with sincerity . ” Guo Rui said earnestly .

“Okay . I will give it to them all . ” After the explanation, Yuan Zhou finally reacted .

“Thank you . I will come again at noon to invite you guys personally . Sorry for bothering you, Boss Yuan . ” Guo Rui thanked him again and again .

“No problem . ” Yuan Zhou shook his head indifferently .

Having thanked him again, Guo Rui and A Luo left temporarily . The reason why he left suddenly was because A Luo had been pulling his hand secretly .

This time, she wanted to go to the bathroom . Guo Rui immediately realized her intention and hence gave the invitation card to Yuan Zhou, hoping that he could send it to the several people .

As soon they left, Wu Hai walked to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant in cotton slippers and prepared to have a meal .

“You came just in time . This is for you . ” At the sight of Wu Hai, Yuan Zhou took out the invitation card and handed it to him .

“What the hell is it? A red bomb?” The originally sluggish look on Wu Hai’s face instantly disappeared .

“It’s an invitation card . ” Yuan Zhou said earnestly .

“I know it’s an invitation card . I have just been away for a single morning . Are you getting married?” Wu Hai pointed at Yuan Zhou and said loudly with an incredulous look .
