As Shen Yao finished speaking, petals immediately drifted down from mid-air, elevating the atmosphere of the entire proposal scene to its peak.
Suddenly, the sound of firecrackers erupted, and a large group of people instantly appeared beside Shen Yao.
Everyone held celebratory poppers, their faces beaming with smiles.
"Surprise!"
"Surprise! Congratulations Mo Chen on a successful proposal!"
"Congratulations Yao Yao!"
"Wonderful, wonderful! Young people always have great ideas. This proposal is truly well done!"
"Yao Yao looks so beautiful today!"
"I'm so touched, I want to get married just watching this!"
"Don't even think about it. Idols can't date, be careful of being scolded."
...
Shen Yao looked at the people in front of her, incredulously turning to Mo Chen, not expecting so many people to be present.
They were all her family and friends; even her parents knew about it.
"You... how did you get them all here?" Shen Yao asked, both surprised and shocked, her heart overwhelmed with emotion.
Having her loved ones witness her most important moment – how fortunate could that be?
Moreover, the fact that Mo Chen could gather everyone showed his immense effort.
"For such an important occasion, of course, I want you to be the happiest person in the world. Besides, nothing is more important than your happiness," Mo Chen said, his tone filled with conviction.
"Thank you, Mo Chen."
"You're welcome. As long as you're happy."
...
The scene was exceptionally lively. The entire proposal was being filmed by photographers, and now a large crowd was gathered around the camera, watching the spectacle.
"Look, look, Xiao Chen's suit is so handsome, he looks so sharp," Grandpa Mo said, pointing to Mo Chen's tuxedo.
He had always told Mo Chen that he hoped he would look handsome in other clothes, but Mo Chen was stubborn and refused to wear anything else.
Now that he was willing to change for Shen Yao, it truly proved the saying that one person could conquer another.
"Indeed, he looks sharp. He's dressed like a prince from a TV show, no, even more handsome than the princes on TV," Mother Shen said sincerely.
Father Shen had intended to find fault with Mother Shen's praise of Mo Chen, but upon seeing him, he couldn't find any flaws. He couldn't in good conscience say he looked bad.
"He certainly has good looks," otherwise, he wouldn't have so easily swept his daughter away.
Mother Shen shot Father Shen a look, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Didn't he see the future in-laws standing nearby!
On the other side, Shen Yao was surrounded by Xia Zhao and others.
"Yao Yao, how could you agree to Mo Chen's proposal so easily? Didn't you want to test him further?" Zhou Ya Nan asked Shen Yao, her gaze lingering on Mo Chen.
Alright, he was indeed good-looking, and the couple looked well-matched.
"Let's forget about testing him. You have no idea, during this time, rumors about Yao Yao and Mo Chen have spread throughout Mo Chen's company," Xia Zhao said to Zhou Ya Nan.
She then shared all the gossip she had heard recently with her girlfriends.
Zhou Ya Nan and Wang Xixi listened with wide eyes, feeling as if they were hearing a story.
"That's impressive, isn't it?" Wang Xixi expressed her shock. After all, she rarely saw people date so publicly unless it was for clout within the industry, where their relationships were publicized for attention.
Zhou Ya Nan also remarked, "I've learned something new!"
Shen Yao: ...
Truly, the story was well-told, but it would have been better if the protagonist wasn't her.
Shen Yao felt that whoever spread these rumors should consider writing a story.
They hadn't been that unrestrained at all; at most, they just commuted to and from work together, nothing particularly special!
"What about you guys? When are you getting married?" Wang Xixi eagerly asked Xia Zhao and Zhou Ya Nan.
Her train of thought was incredibly expansive, otherwise, she wouldn't have jumped topics so "smoothly."
"Us? No rush, no rush," Xia Zhao quickly replied.
Ever since she started dating Wang Sheng Yu, Wang Xixi's brother, she had been relentlessly pressured to get married, with people wishing they would just register their marriage immediately.
Fortunately, Wang Sheng Yu didn't rush her, otherwise, she would have felt anxious too.
"We'll be getting married soon too. My parents have found a date in August. Don't worry, we'll definitely let you know then," Zhou Ya Nan said frankly.
After all, her relationship with her boyfriend was already good, and they were childhood sweethearts; it was only a matter of time before they tied the knot.
"Hey, now that you say it, doesn't that leave me as the only single person left?!"
Wang Xixi felt a bit depressed...
She felt that her career transition was imminent, especially since being an actress allowed for dating!
She was in the entertainment industry, after all. With so many handsome guys around, wouldn't it be a waste not to date!
Now that she was young and beautiful, she couldn't let this opportunity pass!
...
Shen Yao and Mo Chen's engagement was finalized, and the proposal was done; only the final step of marriage remained.
Their wedding was scheduled to be held abroad, on a beautiful small island. The island had distinct seasons, but its scenery was so stunning that tourists visited almost every day.
This island was developed with funds from the Mo family, and half of it belonged to them.
Mo Chen and Shen Yao spent a long time choosing before finally deciding to hold the wedding on the island.
It was indeed fortunate that the Mo family was wealthy. Otherwise, holding a wedding so far away, whether many relatives and friends could attend would be another matter entirely!
Therefore, Mo Chen directly chartered a plane to transport everyone to the island in advance, leaving no one any excuse.
Even the busy Wang Xixi was directly sent to the island, along with Mo Xuan and Xiao Jun, who had completed their recording of the show and were currently promoting their TV series.
Mo Chen directly took leave from school and, without a word, sent the two of them to the island. Even if the teachers were unwilling, they still chose the two school buildings over any reluctance.
After all, teaching students could be done anytime, but buildings were different; missing the opportunity might mean never getting it again!
The island was located in the southeastern part of the Northern Hemisphere. Because it was far from the hustle and bustle of people, the environment was exceptionally beautiful, among the best.
Therefore, those who were initially a bit resentful immediately had their grievances vanish upon arriving at the island.
"Wow, this place is incredibly beautiful!" Xia Zhao exclaimed, gazing ardently into the distance, a smile never leaving her face.
"It's truly beautiful. I just sent photos to my agent, and she generously told me to enjoy myself and not worry, saying she'd handle things at the company!" Wang Xixi also said excitedly.
It was evening, and the sun was just touching the horizon, making the entire sea and sky appear as one.
