Chapter 120 Engagement
Chapter 120 Engagement
"I never thought I'd be able to experience such wonderful childhood memories again!"
With a flick of the wrist, the card disappeared from the hand.
Having had the new cheat for over a month, Shu Ran has been very restrained, only investing ten grams of gold each day.
Including the buy-ten-get-one-free offer, I've already done over three hundred draws.
Card levels are divided into SSS, SS, S, A, B, C, D, and E, from highest to lowest.
Aside from the ordinary D-grade cards that have little effect, and the scattered and incomplete E-grade cards, Shu Ran has now collected a complete set of S-grade, an A-grade, and a C-grade outfits and makeup.
The product isn't cost-effective, but Shu Ran has a strong desire to spend money on it. Fortunately, she's still rational and limits the amount she spends each day. Otherwise, even if she had a lot of money, she wouldn't be able to resist spending it all.
Yunxi nodded to indicate that she understood, and asked, "Does Hogwarts have any books? I'll go take a look!"
Shu Ran was stunned. It seemed like it would be decades before it could be published!
I don't know if it exists in this dimension now.
He shook his head and said regretfully, "No, that was a very famous novel of mine before, it wasn't published until the 1990s."
"Never mind if you don't have it, Ranran, tell me about it!"
Shu Ran: ...
It's too long! The movie she watched was very much like fan fiction! She'd long forgotten the original plot!
Glancing at the invitations on the desk, she changed the subject, saying, "You've finished writing the invitations; they'll be sent out in a few days!"
"Almost there, not much left."
Yunxi got excited when this was mentioned. She pulled Shuran to the desk and opened an invitation card that hadn't been filled in yet.
"Ranran, come here, let's write this together, and we'll write our signatures together too!"
Yunxi is going to give this to his former love rival!
He wrote his name with Ranran, which meant that Gou Xinglan felt involved!
Not yet realizing Yunxi's sinister intentions, Shuran could only feel relieved to change the subject.
"Okay, who is this for?"
Shu Ran carefully signed her name at the end, leaving the space for the invitee blank. She picked up her pen to write.
"Written for Gou Xinglan!"
The clear, youthful voice gradually matured, becoming deep and magnetic.
Even those who aren't fans of voices would like it, but what he said made Shu Ran pause for a moment as she picked up her pen.
Shrimp and pig heart!
"Be honest!"
To prevent the restless person behind her from causing trouble, Shu Ran picked up her pen and finished writing the entire invitation, without letting Yun Xi come back to sign it.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Shu Ran didn't try to get special treatment and asked someone to specially calculate the auspicious date.
At the request of the feng shui master, instead of choosing Yunxi's birthday, an auspicious day in March, before her birthday, was selected.
Yunxi had secretly calculated the date herself, and it was a good day for an engagement.
Satisfied, I gave the feng shui master a large red envelope, thinking he was a person with real talent and ability.
Although neither of their families attended the engagement, the people invited were all prominent figures in the port city.
All the heads of Shu Ran's businesses came. In addition to the "Shu family" who had been by her side since the early years, the businesses had gradually expanded over the years and had also recruited a lot of talents to work for her.
"Congratulations, Ranran! You're the first among us to get engaged!"
Gou Yueling was dressed in a smart suit, and she had a new cute puppy by her side. She still wanted to play around for a few more years.
Shu Ran raised the corners of her lips and smiled, "I've met the right person."
People arrived one after another, and Shu Ran did not use a traditional ceremony for the engagement.
The weather wasn't cold, and the event was held outdoors in a buffet style. With everyone as witnesses, they exchanged engagement rings and made vows, and that was it.
It's not very complicated.
After everyone had left that evening, Yunxi took Shuran under the moonlight.
"what happened?"
She had changed from her red cheongsam into a red dress, and had just seen everyone off, still wearing her makeup and costume.
"vow!"
Yunxi uttered two words briefly, glanced at the celestial phenomena, and quickly led her people to the scene that had been set up beforehand.
After standing still, Yunxi explained, "In our place, for a marriage to be considered complete, both parties must drip their blood onto a star stone to swear an oath."
Shu Ran joked, "No rush, if it doesn't work this time, there's always next time. We can make vows again when we get married."
"No, this time is the one."
He should make a vow as soon as possible so that he can hand over Yuanyang sooner!
Yunxi glanced at Shuran with a wistful look, and then felt angry when she thought of Gou Xinglan's persistent gaze at their engagement. She was angry at herself for not meeting the system sooner.
Having experienced the massacre of his family in his youth, he vowed to take revenge. At the age of eight, he joined the Qingyun Sect and devoted himself to arduous cultivation.
Until he was eighteen, his cultivation level increased too quickly, so his master threw him into a secret realm for training, where he encountered the system.
Seeing all his enemies, regardless of their cultivation level, being sent to Black Star for labor reform.
The days he spent here with Ranran were the happiest days of his life since leaving home.
"Okay, okay! I can't run away anyway!"
Shu Ran chuckled. It wasn't a big deal, so she simply went along with Yun Xi.
The engagement rings were two pieces crafted by Yunxi. Under the moonlight, the two of them dripped their blood into the two rings together.
A faint light flickered, and vows were made.
"I, Yunxi... if I break this oath, may my soul be scattered and my spirit be destroyed!"
"I, Shu Ran... will break this oath."
Yunxi reached out and covered Shuran's mouth. The last four words were not uttered, but the vow was made!
"Um!"
"What are you doing? I haven't finished speaking yet!"
Shu Ran pried Yun Xi's hand away and looked at the person opposite her in confusion.
"That's enough, that's enough. Just keep me under control. I can't bear to do that. What if something happens? I'm scared."
"Have a little faith in me, okay? I'm attracted to good looks, but I'm not a womanizer!"
Fine, the vow has already been made, and we can't go through it again.
Yunxi's unspoken worry was not that he feared Shuran would change her mind in this life, but that he feared that if he died, Shuran would still be alive, but would be bound by their vow and live a lonely life!
She didn't know where all these worries came from; Yunxi didn't say, and Shuran didn't know either.
He lowered his head and carefully kissed her forehead: "Ranran, even if it's a vow, I can't bear to say it out loud!"
Shu Ran tiptoed and gave Yun Xi a comforting kiss on the corner of her lips: "Trust me, okay?"
Since it was in her best interest, Shu Ran didn't say anything more, feeling like she was being hypocritical for getting a good deal.
"it is good!"
Yunxi nodded and gave Shuran a sweet, affectionate kiss, just like a puppy.
"Alright, alright, let's go back!"
Feeling a little itchy, Shu Ran smiled and dodged the pursuing lips.
They pulled the person back to the room.
After washing up and getting into bed, Shu Ran, unusually, didn't fall asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
I stretched out my hand and looked at the ring on my hand. The red color didn't look eerie; it was a warm red.
Yunxi also extended her hand, which was adorned with a ring, and intertwined her fingers with Shuran's.
The red and blue colors complement each other perfectly, creating a harmonious and complementary effect.
"Ranran, you must always wear these rings and never take them off. These two rings can sense the other person's location and status, and have a certain protective function. They also have a teleportation ability, so you can teleport to the other person's side in a dangerous situation."
