Upon seeing this, Shen Yanlang walked over and, in front of everyone, grasped Duan Xu's hand.
Don't be nervous, my parents are very nice people. It's just that my brother always has a cold expression; it's not that he doesn't like you.
Duan Xu had no time to listen to Shen Yanlang's thoughts. Because of Shen Yanlang's actions, everyone was looking at him, and he felt very embarrassed and nervous, his palms sweating.
"Xuxu." Ye Lan smiled gently, walked over and patted his head. "This child is so cute. Our family will have a cute boy from now on."
Duan Xu: "???"
Shen Guofeng laughed heartily, "These two in my family, one always has a cold face, and the other has been like an adult for a long time. Xiaolan has always wanted a cute child."
Hearing this, Qiu Shan and Duan Hu smiled. Qiu Shan said, "Our Xuxu is quite cute."
Duan Xu became even more embarrassed by what was said and gave a restrained smile.
Upon noticing this, Ye Lan considerately stepped back and gestured for everyone to sit down.
Shen Yanlang sat with Duan Xu, holding Duan Xu's hand the whole time to soothe his nervousness.
The adults chatted and laughed while ordering food, while Shen Yu sat alone drinking tea, expressionless.
Shen Yanlang pulled their chairs closer together and whispered, "Are you still nervous?"
"Feeling better." Duan Xu smiled at Shen Yanlang. "Auntie is so gentle."
"Yes, my mother was born into a scholarly family and was raised as a lady of high society," Shen Yanlang nodded in reply.
Duan Xu gave an "oh," squeezed Shen Yanlang's hand, and secretly glanced at Shen Yu who was drinking tea. "Isn't it a little inappropriate to let Big Brother drink tea alone?"
"Ignore him." Shen Yanlang also glanced at Shen Yu.
Shen Yu noticed and turned to look at him, his face still expressionless, but his eyes held a hint of inquiry.
Shen Yanlang said calmly, "It's nothing."
Shen Yu continued drinking his tea, seemingly quite content on his own.
Seeing Duan Xu couldn't help but admire him. If he were alone in a crowd, he would probably feel very awkward.
The two whispered to each other, and the adults were actually observing them. Seeing that they got along well, they felt good, and their smiles broadened.
The meal was very enjoyable. The first half consisted of each person praising the other's children, and the second half involved discussing their marriage.
"Mother-in-law, although the child is still young, they are already engaged. Why don't we have an engagement banquet first?" Ye Lan said, holding Qiu Shan's hand.
Qiu Shan glanced at her children and said with a smile, "That's a good idea. It's not too late to have a wedding when they're old enough."
"Alright, I'll have someone prepare it when I get back!" Shen Guofeng readily agreed.
At this moment, Shen Yu suddenly interjected, "We must hold a grand celebration."
Duan Hu and Qiu Shan exchanged a glance. In truth, they only wanted Duan Xu to have some security; the scale of the celebration was not important to them.
But for a family like the Shen Family, it is indeed appropriate to hold a grand celebration. Only by doing so will others know that the second young master of the Shen Family already has an omega.
"We absolutely have to make this a big event!" Shen Guofeng said.
Shen Yanlang echoed, "Yes, we should invite everyone we can."
Duan Xu, however, seemed embarrassed and whispered, "Isn't this a bit much?"
"Yes, we will," Shen Yanlang replied softly. "That way, others will know how much our family values and approves of you."
Duan Xu touched the tip of his nose and said helplessly, "Alright."
I didn't realize it before, but now that they're talking about a big engagement party, it suddenly dawned on me that he's going to marry into a wealthy family!
Their family is not short of money, but they are still no match for the Shen Family, one of the top families in City A. The Shen Family is a true aristocratic family.
After dinner, Shen Yanlang took Duan Xu's family to a hotel he had booked in advance, which was actually one of his own properties, so it wasn't really a booked hotel.
Shen Guofeng and the other two left first, saying that they would discuss anything else in the group chat, as they had created a group chat before leaving for all the people present.
Duan Xu found it all quite surreal at the time, and also realized that his aunts and uncles were actually very down-to-earth!
After that day, Duan Xu's family only stayed in City A for one day before returning home. They had already set the date for their engagement banquet: August 8th.
With two weeks to go, both families have plenty of time to prepare a grand engagement banquet.
For the past two weeks Duan Xu has basically stayed at home. Apart from the tailor coming to the Shen Family to take his measurements, he either studies or studies with Shen Yanlang over the phone. It seems that the engagement banquet has nothing to do with them.
The parents of both families took care of everything, big and small. As the parties involved, they really didn't have to do anything except take measurements.
*
On August 8th, at the Tingyue Grand Hotel, owned by the Shen Corporation.
Inside the lounge, Duan Xu changed into a custom-made white suit, a red bow tie around his neck, and a small bear brooch pinned to his right breast, dazzling under the lights.
Wearing this outfit Duan Xu looked like a prince who had stepped out of a castle, and the little bear brooch on his chest perfectly matched his delicate and lovely appearance, adding a touch of playfulness and cuteness.
In contrast, Shen Yanlang wore a dark blue suit with a matching bow tie, simple yet sophisticated, exuding a reassuring sense of composure. He also wore a diamond jasmine brooch, which he had specially commissioned.
Duan Xu's pheromones smell like jasmine, and she wears a jasmine brooch on her chest, as if she always carries Duan Xu with her.
"Xuxu." Shen Yanlang came to Duan Xu's lounge to find him after changing his clothes.
Duan Xu was standing in front of the mirror examining himself when he heard the sound. He turned around, then took a deep breath.
So handsome! Shen Yanlang so handsome!
Shen Yanlang was naturally handsome, the kind of face that would be considered beautiful by both genders. And when he put on this suit, he exuded a calm, dignified, and mature aura.
This made Duan Xu imagine what Shen Yanlang like five or ten years from now, probably just like he does now.
Shen Yanlang closed the door and stared at Duan Xu. It was the first time he had seen Duan Xu in a suit. He was still as cute as ever, but with an added air of nobility.
At that moment, his eyes were filled with amazement, his clear almond-shaped eyes sparkling, making people unconsciously want to get closer.
Shen Yanlang walked over, put his arm around Duan Xu, and pulled him into his arms. "What is my little prince thinking?"
The deep voice brought Duan Xu back to his senses. His eyes sparkled as he looked up at him, "You look so handsome today!"
Shen Yanlang couldn't help but smile, "You look handsome today too."
[You're so handsome I want to rip your clothes off!]
Duan Xu: "???"
"Yan-ge, what are you thinking about?" Duan Xu looked up and glared at him.
Shen Yanlang's eyebrows curved into a smile, and he chuckled softly, "Didn't you already know?"
Duan Xu: "..."
"Yan-ge," Duan Xu said seriously, "Today is a big day, we need to be serious, understand?"
Duan Xu now feels that spending too much time with Shen Yanlang has turned him into a rogue, and sometimes he even has lewd thoughts about Shen Yanlang, but Shen Yanlang is unaware of it.
