Chapter 434 - AN UNEXPECTED ANNOUNEMENT
Tang Yujin fondly gazed at her. "I'm the one who couldn't get touched. Are you busy with something?"
"Well… ah!" Before she could speak, she yelped in surprise.
Mo Yuan carried her in a princess style. She quickly hugged his neck so that she wouldn't fall. "What are you doing?" she asked.
"Your friend is right. If we are going to ignore the rest, we should get a room," Mo Yuan spoke nonchalantly.
Han Luo's jaw dropped. She couldn't believe this guy was being so shameless right in front of their classmates and friends. Moreover, her cousins were here as well.
Even the onlookers gaped at the couple. They were here to be friends with the rich heir, not to eat dog food. Even Han Weiwei looked like she was going to cry in anger and embarrassment.
Before Mo Yuan could make a move, Tang Yujin grabbed his shoulder. "I know what's on your mind but your move will ruin little Luo's reputation. Did you think about it?"
Mo Yuan basically wanted to take Han Luo away from this toxic environment. But to think he would be so bold was out of anyone's imagination.
Mo Yuan didn't have to reply to his friend. Just then, Ma Rui came to the hall. Her eyes sparkled seeing her son acting so princely and carrying Han Luo. "My my, am I seeing love birds? It's so good to be young. Girls and boys, thank you for attending to my one and only son, Mo Yuan's birthday. On this occasion, I have an exciting announcement to share."
"Today is not only my son's birthday but also his engagement." There, Ma Rui stopped to notice others' reactions and she was satisfied.
The girls' eyes widened in surprise. Their nerves tensed in excitement.
"I can't believe he is going to be engaged at the age of twenty one."
"He is a rich boy. Rich people have political and business engagement. Didn't you read in the books?"
"So, that's why we were invited."
"Could it be the lucky girl will be one of us?"
"If it's a business engagement, there is a chance for upper-class girls to get engaged."
"Do you think Weiwei, Wanwan, and Nana Shimizu have chances?"
"They should have. They are daughters of big families. Didn't you notice, they are all present today."
"They have dolled up knowing that today Mrs. Mo will announce the engagement. I think they know who is going to be the lucky girl."
"If I knew before, I would have contacted her so that I can be her daughter-in-law."
Nana Shimizu was wearing a green glittery mermaid gown. Her blonde hair and fair skin complimented her dress. Boys were looking at her in adoration. They couldn't help but this their goddess would become Mo Yuan's bride. They cursed him secretly.
Nana Shimizu silently stared at Mo Yuan and Han Luo. Seeing them so chummy in front of Mo Yuan's mother, she mentally sneered.
"Could it be this is the reason for Weiwei to attack Yuan's girlfriend, Luo I heard they were going out. It could be that Mrs. Mo is unsatisfied with Luo and wanted Weiwei to marry her son."
"It will teach Lan a good lesson. Look at her. How shameless she can be to show off her relationship with Yuan."
"She must be after Yuan's fortune and that's why Yuan's mother chose someone else."
"And, here I wanted to make a connection through Lan. Thank goodness I didn't do it. She will sure fall tonight."
"But, it's not sure who will get the chance to be his fiancée."
"Can you imagine the girl who will marry Yuan Mo will live here? If I am the lucky girl…"
"If only I can marry him, I'll change myself completely."
The girls began to gossip themselves.
Han Weiwei straightened up and wiped out her tears. She finally had some strength in her body. Her younger sister, Han Wanwan stepped closer to her. "Jiejie, can you believe that tonight his brother Yuan's engagement?"
Han Weiwei gritted her teeth in anger. She spoke cunningly, "I had a doubt since Mrs. Mo invited everyone. Daddy was looking happy these days. He also told us to dress up prettily. If I become brother Yuan's fiancée, I will show that Luo b**ch that she can only seduce men but this won't get her anywhere. In the end, everything will belong to me."
Han Luo couldn't hear any of their voices. Her heart was racing. She glanced at the man who was carrying her and inquired, "Did you know about this?"
"Not really." Mo Yuan didn't seem particularly worried. He was a bit stunned because of the sudden outcome. Now he realized why his mother invited so many people. 'She could just tell me sooner. Good grief," he thought helplessly. There was no way to stop his youthful mother.
Mo Zhen was standing in the corner, waiting for his wife to share the joyful news. When he first heard about this plan, he was worried about his son's reaction. Seeing that his son was putting on a poker face, the corner of his lips slightly rose.
Ma Rui gave everyone a big smile before declaring, "Today is the engagement of my son, Mo Yuan and Han Family's precious heiress.... Han Luo."
The spotlight instantly focused on the couple. Han Luo's body became rigid and the temperature rose. At the same time, Mo Yuan's grip on her tightened. His heart began to shake. None of them showed their nervousness to onlookers.
People reluctantly began to clap. Most girls dreamed of marrying Mo Yuan whereas most boys wanted to date Han Luo. Their hearts and dreams were crushed just by hearing the announcement.
"Wow! Congrats, you two!" Beth was the first to congratulate them.
"Yes, congratulations," Sean commended.
"Thank you both," Mo Yuan replied. Han Luo was still overcoming the shock.
"I had no idea this would happen today. I will send you two gifts later," Tang Yujin forced a smile. His heart was throbbing. Where he was supposed to be engaged to Han Luo years back, she got engaged right in front of his face.
"....!"
