NOVPUBThe fifth day of the Chinese New Year is a day for breaking old customs and starting anew. It's a good day to travel, get married, visit relatives...
Every year, after the fifth day, also becomes a popular time for people to get married or engaged.
The bustling streets of Huhai often see lively wedding convoys.
Today is the day Xu Musen officially goes to propose.
Father Xu and Mother Xu were so excited that they got up at three or four in the morning, wearing their cherished custom-tailored dress suits, spending a long time dressing up.
Xu Musen also put on his prepared suit, which matched the wedding dress ordered with An Nuannuan's.
The luxurious suit, though overpriced, was truly worth every penny. Made from fine New Zealand wool, detailed with gold thread, and adorned with natural gemstone buttons, the whole ensemble cost six figures.
Without any exaggerated styling, the suit perfectly complemented Xu Musen's stature, highlighting his tall figure, long legs, broad shoulders, and inherent air of a nobleman.
"My son is so handsome!"
Mother Xu couldn't help but walk up and circle him a few times, observing carefully.
She admired him like a piece of art she had created herself, feeling joyfully youthful.
"Mom, you look beautiful today too."
Xu Musen said with a smile.
"Of course, we can't embarrass our handsome son today!"
Mother Xu said, even happier, laughing heartily.
"Now you're talking about your son, didn't you disown him whenever you quarreled before?"
Father Xu joked as he walked over.
"Oh, stop it, look at your tie, it's not even done properly."
Mother Xu rolled her eyes at him, reaching out to adjust his suit tie again.
Xu Musen went to pack his things, ready to head out. Mother Xu watched his figure, sighing.
"He has really grown up, getting engaged, almost has his own family now…"
Suddenly, she remembered something: "By the way, has Ming Yue and her mother arrived in Huhai yet?"
"I heard it's snowing in Zheng City today, the flight is delayed a bit, but they should make it before the engagement banquet starts."
"That's good… sigh, I wonder what Ming Yue is thinking."
They felt a bit concerned about Yao Mingyue, but eventually shook their heads, hoping everything would go smoothly on this joyous day.
Xu Musen didn't prepare a convoy, since it wasn't the wedding. Making a big fuss wouldn't be appropriate.
As soon as he finished packing and headed downstairs, three cars were already parked outside. 𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝒎
Although only three cars, the formation was impressive.
Leading the convoy was a gold Royce. Zhou Hangyu, wearing sunglasses and an immaculate suit, got out of the car flipping his hair stylishly.
Li Rundong, also in a suit, exited from the back Bentley Mulsanne, while Ma Yaxing got out of the last Maybach.
"Boss Xu! Uncle, Auntie, congratulations!"
The three of them walked over, greeting with big smiles.
"Thank you so much for helping today. Make sure to eat plenty at the hotel later."
Mother Xu responded with a smile.
"Of course, Auntie, don't worry, we won't hold back!" Zhou Hangyu responded cheerfully.
Xu Musen glanced at them and couldn't help but smile: "You guys, dressing up in suits even though you're not the groomsmen."
The three of them struck a pose, resembling a trio from a famous movie.
"Boss Nuannuan has beauties with her, we can't embarrass Boss Xu!"
"Oh, stop showing off!"
"Hahaha, we knew you'd see right through us!"
"But, Brother Sen, your suit is really sharp. Where did you get it tailored? Mine cost thousands but compared to yours, it looks like it's from a roadside stall!"
Zhou Hangyu moved closer, admiring Xu Musen's suit, albeit reluctantly admitting that Xu Musen looked exceptionally dashing today!
They all wore suits, but standing next to Xu Musen made them look like real estate agents handing out flyers at a subway entrance.
"It's all about the demeanor."
Xu Musen waved his hand, glancing toward the adjacent building with a smile: "It's about time, let's go!"
"Alright!"
"Fire off the salutes, for a blissful marriage!"
Fireworks were banned in Huhai, but Zhou Hangyu and the others still managed to acquire some firecrackers and salutes, making a lively commotion.
Departure.
The three cars set off in an orderly manner.
A black business van quietly followed them from the street corner.
...
Meanwhile, An Nuannuan's home was equally lively with festive decorations.
An Nuannuan sat in front of the vanity. Although someone of her beauty didn't need makeup, she still wanted to look even more stunning on this special day.
An Nuannuan didn't know how to apply makeup; she'd even been too lazy to style her hair before, wearing it loose throughout high school, hardly anyone noticing this unbelievably beautiful girl.
Behind her, Zhao Lianmai held a comb, smoothing her silky hair.
"Nuannuan, do you have a preferred hairstyle?"
Zhao Lianmai looked at her silky, thick hair, like spun sugar.
An Nuannuan shook her head: "Not sure…"
It seemed Xu Musen never mentioned having a favorite hairstyle.
Zhao Lianmai sensed her thoughts, shaking her head and smiling silently.
As long as it's An Nuannuan, even if she were bald, Xu Musen would love it.
