Chapter 8: A Lifetime of Promises 02

When the car arrived at the hotel entrance and Lin Leyao saw the name of the hotel, she felt that it looked familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before.
Oh, right, the last time Mom and Jane’s mom discussed the engagement location, it must have been just a coincidence, right?
"Yaoyao, come with me, I'll take you to put on makeup." Mingliang pulled her and said.
What?
Lin Leyao, who was in a completely confused state, was dragged by Mingliang to the dressing room. The makeup artist was already waiting inside, and there were several beautiful dresses hanging on the hanger nearby.
Oh my god, she just agreed to Jian Yan's proposal, why are they getting engaged? Isn't June 6 a good day?
"Don't open your mouth so wide, it's hard to put on makeup," said the makeup artist.
"Yaoyao, Jian Yan can't wait any longer, you know." Mingliang joked.
"Have you discussed this long ago?" She already had the answer in her mind, but she still asked again without giving up.
Mingliang: "Don't say that. It wasn't a discussion. I was just informed unilaterally by Jian Yan. When Jian Yan told me, I really felt like a domineering president falling in love with you."
"Hmph, wait until Jian Yan becomes the president before you say that." Lin Leyao said.
The makeup was done quickly, and when choosing a dress, Lin Leyao had difficulty making a decision. In the end, Mingliang pulled her into the dressing room and asked her to change into a long gauze skirt.
Before she fell in love with Jian Yan, she had never thought about what she would look like when she was engaged. She looked at herself in the mirror wearing a white dress and felt a little unbelievable that she was actually engaged and would get married in two years...
She looked at Mingliang beside her. She used to think that friendship could be bought with money, love was unreliable, and family affection was dispensable. But when she actually possessed these things, she realized how wrong she was .
Friendship is eternal, love is reliable, and family is indispensable.
"Let's go, Jian Yan has been waiting for a long time." Mingliang took her hand and solemnly handed her to Jian Yan, like a father holding his daughter's hand at a wedding.
When she turned around, she clearly saw tears in Mingliang's eyes. A tall and thin boy walked up to her and gently put his arm around her shoulders.
It’s great that everyone is happy.
There were a lot of people sitting in the hotel. Mom and Jane's mom actually invited fifty or sixty tables of people. She didn't know 80% of them, but that didn't stop others from getting to know her.
Engagement is a wonderful thing, and that’s what Lin Leyao thought in the first five minutes.
Being engaged was a very tiring thing, and she had already begun to not want to get married. This was what she thought for the next few dozen minutes.
She held up her wine glass and walked in the crowd beside Jian Yan. People around her, whether they knew her or not, stood up to bless them. Some people took the initiative to ask for a photo with the newlyweds to share in their joy. In short, it was just... walk, walk, drink, drink, walk, walk, drink...
Her legs are about to break from walking, wuwuwu.
"I've never been engaged, and I didn't expect it to be so tiring." Jian Yan said self-reproachfully as he looked at her in pain.
"I'll just bear with it." Lin Leyao said.
"Go sit over there, I'll take care of the rest." Jian Yan pulled her to sit next to Jian's mother, "Mom, help me take care of Yaoyao, I'm going to go to the socializing."
"You kid, don't worry, your mother is here."
In the next half hour, Lin Leyao regretted listening to Jian Yan and going to rest next to Jian's mother. Why didn't she learn from her mistakes? Next to Jian's mother was her mother. Once these two women sat together...
This time, they talked to her for half an hour about their future plans... engagement, marriage, having children, kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school... they had even started to think about which university their child would go to...
So scary!
The banquet was finally over, and all the relatives and friends had gone home. Jian Yan took Lin Leyao to sit on the carpeted steps in the banquet hall. She rested her head on his shoulder, her eyes fixed on the huge crystal chandelier on the ceiling. She felt that the past two or three hours had been like a dream.
Fireworks...
Carousel…
Engagement Ceremony...
All of this was given to me by the boy next to me.
"Thank you, Jianyan," she said.
There was no answer from the person beside me. I looked up and found that he had fallen asleep while sitting. Mingliang had said before that he had been busy for a long time today and he must be very tired.
"Am I asleep?" Hearing her voice, Jian Yan opened his eyes, with deep fatigue in his voice.
"Let's go, it's time for us to go home." Lin Leyao said.
Home used to be an emotionless noun to her, but now it is a word that brings warmth to her heart whenever she mentions it.
"Yaoyao, can I carry you back?" Jian Yan stood up and pulled her up with him. "I think I've never carried you before."
"You're so tired today, let's do it another day." Lin Leyao couldn't bear to see him so tired.
"Are you feeling sorry for me? It's okay, come on up, I just want to carry the girl I love on my back today." After saying that, Jian Yan squatted down.
Lin Leyao stepped onto the stairs and jumped onto his back after he said "Come up".
She gently leaned her head on his back, feeling the sense of security that only he could bring: "Jian Yan, do you still remember the lifetime we talked about?"
Jian Yan: "Remember, for a lifetime. At that time we were going to be good friends for life. Now, I want to love you well for the rest of my life."
Lin Leyao: "Cheng Dieyi said to Duan Xiaolou, if we say it's a lifetime, it's a lifetime. One year, one month, one day, one hour less doesn't count as a lifetime. Do you understand?"
Jian Yan: "Lin Leyao, I want to be with you forever."
Lin Leyao: "Okay, I promise you."
When they were about to reach the door, Lin Leyao got off his back. She looked up and asked Jian Yan, "Was I being pretentious just now?"
He flicked her forehead and said, "I like it even if you're a little more pretentious."
The two of them got in the car to go home together. When they sent her to the door, Lin Leyao thought for a moment and said, "Other people kneel down when proposing, why are you sitting? I'm a little unhappy."
Jian Yan smiled, knelt on one knee, and asked his princess like a prince: "My princess, will you marry me?"
"I do."
