His deep blue eyes were smiling, staring at her with tenderness.
Her face was turned away, not looking at him.
Forced to put on his coat, Shengge didn't feel warm, but instead felt cold all over.
She took off her suit jacket and handed it back to him, "The banquet will start soon. After all, you have to go on stage later. You can dress yourself. The heating is on in the hall. I'm not cold."
Ning Chengxu's eyes were burning, and he looked at her with surprise and joy, "So, sister Sheng, does this mean you care about me?"
She frowned slightly, her long eyelashes drooping slightly, covering up the disgust and anger in her eyes, and directly forced the suit jacket into his hands.
Ning Chengxu accepted it and put on his coat obediently.
There was a smile on that delicate and handsome face, "That's great. I'm looking forward to our future life more and more."
Shengge pursed her lips and ignored him. Thinking of her plan later, she secretly ground her back molars.
The huge banquet hall was filled with princes and nobles.
The violinists nearby suddenly changed their tune, the lights suddenly dimmed, and the vision in the hall was dim, with only the red candles flickering on the long table.
The spotlight is turned on, and everyone's attention is focused on the spiral staircase.
Princess Kelly was standing on the highest step of the stairs, wearing a noble and elegant gold-encrusted dress, with a smile on her face, and she waved gracefully to everyone in the hall.
The banquet tonight was held by her, and she was also the only protagonist.
As she appeared, applause and praises came one after another.
She faced the adulation of the crowd, held on to the marble railing, and slowly walked down the steps.
The spotlight followed her figure all the way to the opposite stage.
There was a microphone placed in the middle of the high platform. The eldest princess raised her hand gently, and all the noisy applause and exclamations stopped abruptly.
Shengge watched casually, listening quietly to the eldest princess making necessary speeches in official language, and applauding along with the crowd from time to time.
"...Actually, I invite everyone to join us tonight because there is something important to be announced." The eldest princess's eyes wandered around the crowd below, and finally looked at Ning Chengxu and Shengge.
The spotlight followed her gaze and moved to Shengge and Ning Chengxu.
Ning Chengxu immediately held Shengge's hand.
Shengge reacted almost instinctively and wanted to pull out her hand, but this time he held her hand tightly, giving her no chance to struggle.
With everyone watching, Shengge quickly regained her senses, put a decent smile on her face, and turned the subconscious struggle into the nervousness after being shy and at a loss.
The crowd voluntarily gave way to the red carpet in the middle, allowing Ning Chengxu to lead Shengge and step by step towards the high platform.
On the stage, the eldest princess continued to announce: "My adopted son, Lance Charles, and this Miss Lu Shengge from China will be married in seven days at the Florence Cathedral!"
Warm applause broke out.
Ning Chengxu let go of Shengge's hand and hugged the eldest princess, showing the deep love between mother and son.
At that time, the royal family did a great job of concealing the fact that the eldest princess was engaged and pregnant. In addition, the eldest princess was the only sister of the current king and the most noble woman in Europe and Africa.
Even if someone sees that Ning Chengxu's facial features are somewhat similar to those of the eldest princess, they would not dare to doubt Ning Chengxu's true identity.
Everyone was praising Ning Chengxu's adopted son's good fortune, but Guy Harold was sitting there drinking sullenly.
At this time, everyone's attention was attracted by the spotlight, and no one saw his dark face and eyes that contained anger.
Next to him, Guy Caesar held his chin with one hand, staring at the music on the stage with a sad expression, sighing silently.
On stage.
After Ning Chengxu hugged the eldest princess, he took the microphone from her and continued speaking loudly:
"Sister Sheng and I met more than ten years ago. I have liked her silently for more than ten years. Now I finally have the opportunity to become her husband. I will be in love with her forever under the witness of everyone."
He turned his head, looked at Shengge affectionately, and slowly stretched out his hand towards her, "Come, come to me."
