Chapter 329 How about I elope with you now?
Rong Shu said, "The holiday is almost over, and I need to go back early to prepare. I'll go back with you tomorrow."
Pei Yu nodded in agreement, "Okay."
Meimei introduced Yaya to Fu Nannan and the others, and the children quickly became friends.
Sheng Tingchen said to Sheng Tingyu, "Brother, please help entertain Pei Yu."
Sheng Tingyu looked at him and said, "Are you really taking this seriously now?"
Sheng Tingchen smiled and said, "Thank you for your help."
Sheng Tingyu stepped forward to greet Pei Yu, who shook hands with him, responding neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Guests arrived one after another, all of whom were social elites from Australia, including Chinese businessmen, Chinese people, and locals. Because it was Mei Mei's birthday party, families with children brought their kids to the event.
Sheng Tingchen entertained the guests alone, while Rong Shu deliberately avoided him.
Sheng Tingchen didn't force her, so no one else knew that Meimei's mother was celebrating her birthday with her today.
Meimei has a wide social circle here, and she knows almost all the children who come to the banquet.
Many little boys surrounded her, chattering and giving her small gifts. Sheng Jingrui and Sheng Jinghui, however, protected their little cousin very closely, like two little bodyguards, as if they were afraid someone would snatch her away. If any little boy tried to talk to Meimei for more than a few minutes, he would be immediately interrupted.
Jiang Yu and Rong Shu sat on a bench in the garden watching the children play, and gazing at Mei Mei, who was being fawned over by everyone, not far away.
Jiang Yu couldn't help but sigh, "Just how outstanding must a man be to win Mei Mei's heart when she grows up? With Sheng Tingchen's doting on his daughter, there are probably very few men in the world who can catch his eye."
Rong Shu said, "She's still young, so there's no need to think that far ahead."
Night gradually fell.
The entire villa castle was as bright as a pearl set in the night, dazzling and eye-catching.
The guests have all arrived.
Not many people were invited to attend today.
Rong Shu sat on the sofa. The staff who had been preparing to do her makeup and hair were called out to wait outside. She quietly looked at the evening gown on the mannequin.
knock knock.
A knock came at the door.
Rong Shu turned her gaze away and looked towards the doorway.
"Come in."
The door was opened.
David pushed open the door and entered. The man was dressed in a white suit, exuding the elegant temperament of an English aristocrat.
"You've arrived," Rong Shu greeted him gently.
David arrived not long ago.
He stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over the blue evening gown before turning to Rong Shu and asking, "Why are you sitting here alone?"
Rong Shu said, "It's nothing, I just want to be alone for a while."
David naturally sat down next to her, a slight smile playing on his red lips, and said, "Don't you want to attend with Sheng Tingchen?"
Rong Shu did not respond.
David raised an eyebrow, reached out and took Rong Shu's hand, and said in a very serious tone, "Did Sheng Tingchen force you, Evelynn? Or should I elope with you now?"
At this time.
The door was opened.
David turned around and saw the man entering.
Sheng Tingchen was still dressed in a well-tailored and highly designed black suit. He was tall and dignified, with his short hair meticulously styled, revealing his full forehead and three-dimensional, deep-set features. He had both Western bone structure and Eastern skin, making him a visually striking face.
Her gentle eyes fell on David's hand holding Rong Shu's.
Rong Shu glanced at him, then looked away, subtly withdrawing her hand from David's.
David glanced at Rong Shu, then looked at Sheng Tingchen, and said in a mocking tone, "So rude, don't you know how to knock?"
Sheng Tingchen looked at David and said, "This is not a place for you to come in."
David leaned back on the sofa, saying confidently, "Can't I even say hello to Evelynn?"
Sheng Tingchen said in an unquestionable tone, "You can go down now."
David looked at the man, then shrugged, got up from the sofa, and said to Rong Shu, "Evelynn, I'll go downstairs now. See you later."
Rong Shu hummed in agreement.
After David left.
There were only two people left in the room.
Sheng Tingchen sat in the seat David had occupied, took out a gift box from his pocket, opened it to reveal a pair of rings, took one out, and reached out to hold the woman's hand.
Rong Shu tried to pull her hand back, but the man held it tightly and said softly, "Wear it tonight." With that, he slipped the ring onto her right ring finger.
Rong Shu looked at the diamond ring that was slowly sliding into her finger.
Sheng Tingchen held the woman's hand, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said, "It fits perfectly."
Rong Shu withdrew her hand.
Sheng Tingchen didn't stop him. He then took out another one and put it on the ring finger of his left hand. He said to Rong Shu, "Meimei, hurry up and get ready. Don't keep her waiting."
Rong Shu lowered her eyes and said, "You can go out now."
"Then I'll wait for you outside."
Sheng Tingchen got up and left the room.
Staff came in and took the dress off the mannequin. Rong Shu put on the dress with the help of the staff, then did her makeup and hair, and wore a set of jewelry in the same color scheme, looking incredibly elegant.
"Mother."
Meimei pushed open the door and ran in. She was wearing a princess dress in the same color scheme as Rong Shu, her long hair was up in a bun, and she wore a sapphire crown on her head. She really looked like a little princess from a fairy tale who was loved by everyone.
Sheng Tingchen followed behind Meimei.
When Meimei saw her mother, her eyes lit up instantly. She rushed to her mother and exclaimed in surprise, "Mom, you're so beautiful, like a fairy from heaven!"
Rong Shu held Mei Mei's hand and said, "Mei Mei looks beautiful today too."
Meimei jumped around happily, her bright eyes brimming with joy. "Meimei has the most beautiful mom and the most handsome dad in the world. Meimei is the happiest child."
Rong Shu looked at her daughter, her gentle smile seemingly concealing an unfathomable sorrow. She raised her eyes and inadvertently met the man's gaze, his eyes giving the impression that he was admiring his wife's beauty.
He said, "It's beautiful, the dress suits you very well."
Rong Shu did not respond.
All that could be heard was Meimei excitedly saying, "Daddy and Mommy look like a bride and groom today." She then ran to her father and said, "Daddy, you have to marry Mommy soon, and Meimei wants to be a flower girl."
Sheng Tingchen agreed, "Okay."
He looked at Rong Shu and said, "Let's go, don't keep the guests waiting."
Inside the banquet hall.
A world-class ensemble played melodious music, and the entire banquet hall was decorated like a fairytale dream.
When Sheng Tingchen and Rong Shu appeared, holding Meimei's hand, and slowly descended the steps, everyone's eyes were on them.
Handsome men, beautiful women, and lovely children—this family with such high-level looks is truly stunning.
Only then did everyone realize that this was Sheng Meijing's mother?
The answer is obvious.
Now that I have seen with my own eyes the true face of the woman who is worthy of Sheng Tingchen and can bear his child, she is truly as beautiful as a fairy.
