Gao Tian and He Yixuan's engagement ceremony was approaching. Xia Yuhong was really worried. She did not know what Gao Tian was thinking, nor did she know if the engagement ceremony should be held as scheduled or canceled. If it was held as scheduled, how would the relationship between Gao Tian and Yun Ge be handled? If he canceled it, how would he explain it to the He family?
Xia Yuhong's mind was in a mess. She could only grab her husband and argue."Aiyo, Old Gao, what do you think we should do? Why are we in such a dilemma? We discussed this engagement in front of the He family's elders. Now that it's in such a mess, I don't even know if I should prepare the betrothal gifts.”
"Sigh, as elders, of course we can't go back on our words. Let's carry out our promise as usual. Otherwise, how can you and I mix around outside in the future? As for what Gao Tian will do, we can only wait and see. Don't worry, Yuhong. I believe that our son has the ability to take responsibility for his actions.”
"Old Gao, do you mean that we will still prepare betrothal gifts for Tian 'er and attend the engagement ceremony on time, regardless of Tian' er's intentions?”
"Yes, this way, regardless of whether Gao Tian arrives at the ceremony or not, at least it shows that we didn't conspire. At most, we can only blame ourselves for not knowing about it beforehand. This is the only way we can explain to the He family.”
"Old Gao, why don't we just ask Tian 'er about his plans? That way, we'll have some confidence.”
"Forget it. Let's wait for him to appear at the engagement ceremony. I'm afraid he doesn't know what to do now, so I'll give him a little more time.”
"Then do you want to invite your friends and family?"
"We don't know what to do about this. Anyway, it's just a temporary engagement ceremony. I think we should forget about it.”
Xia Yuhong and Gao Pengfei discussed this matter properly. Seeing that there were only four or five days left, they quickly went to prepare the betrothal gifts.
He Yixuan called Gao Tian many times to ask him to buy an engagement ring with him, but he couldn't leave because of work. When He Yixuan called again that day, he entrusted Bai Yunge to accompany He Yixuan on his behalf.
Yun Ge couldn't refuse and had to go with He Yixuan. This made He Yixuan very unhappy. He didn't show her a good expression the entire way.
Yun Ge brought back the engagement ring that she had chosen for Gao Tian and handed it to him at night.
"Brother, do you like this ring?”
"Alright, as long as you like it."
"Brother, I'm not the one getting engaged. Why do you say that I like it?”
Gao Tian just smiled and didn't answer.
Yun Ge added,"This ring is to be worn by the bridegroom on the engagement day." You have to take good care of it."
"Yun Ge, I've been so busy all day that I'm dizzy. Who knows where I might forget to put it? You should help me collect it first and give it to me later.”
"Alright then. Brother, this is a joyous occasion for you. Why are you so unconcerned? Do you know how sad Sister Yixuan is if you don't go today? I've been trying to persuade her for a long time, but she's still unhappy.”
"Yun Ge, you have to know that if she is happy, your brother will not be happy.”
"Brother, how could that be? I don't understand what you're saying."
"Silly sister, you will understand in a while.”
On the day of the engagement ceremony, only Gao Pengfei, his wife, and Bai Yunge from the Gao family were present. The He family, on the other hand, was filled with guests. The engagement ceremony was organized by the He family, and the party took the form of a cocktail party that He Yixuan liked. An open-air cocktail party was held in the garden of the Sheraton Hotel in Turtle City.
For some reason, the He family did not explain the true purpose of holding this gathering to the invitees in advance. Perhaps they wanted to give the attendees a big surprise.
Gao Tian said that he still had work to do, so he did not go with Gao Pengfei and his wife. This made Gao Pengfei feel that his guess from a few days ago had come true.
The party was scheduled to start at five in the afternoon and end at seven. At around 5:30 pm, most of the guests had already arrived at the venue. Accompanied by elegant and dynamic music, dazzling neon lights, fashionable and dynamic dance, and colorful cocktails, the cocktail party began in a relaxed, happy and casual atmosphere.
The Gao family of three appeared at the cocktail party in their best attire tonight. Gao Pengfei wore a suit, Xia Yuhong wore a wine-red cheongsam, and Bai Yunge wore a white embroidered sleeveless dress with lace. Gao Tian had specially taken time to bring her to the mall to buy this a few days ago. She was also carefully carrying the ring that Gao Tian was going to use at the engagement ceremony.
Hundreds of relatives and friends of the He family gathered at the cocktail party. Most of them were holding wine glasses and gathered in twos and threes. The three members of the Gao family were first introduced to the participants as VIPs, but the He family obviously had to wait for the most important figures to arrive before they could announce the exciting wedding news.
The He family did not publicize the engagement in advance, and the invitation only said that it was to gather everyone to admire the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Because Gao Tian had said that he would only announce the marriage to the public when he appeared.
When He Yixuan saw that Gao Tian was not there when the Gao family came, he was feeling uneasy. Then, he received a call from Gao Tian, saying that he was busy with work and might arrive a little late.
He Yixuan waited for a while and was already extremely impatient. He immediately found his uncle, He Shuming, to complain,""Uncle, why don't you help me tell Gao Tian and the other leaders not to assign him any tasks tonight? He was too busy a few days ago to attend to this matter, but look, he didn't even let him come on time on such an important day.”
"It can't be, right? Were they that busy? I'll call their chief and ask.”
After the head of the municipal bureau personally asked, he called back and said,"Due to a major traffic accident more than 50 kilometers outside the city, a large number of police forces need to be gathered to rescue. Captain Gao has brought reinforcements and is now at the scene.”
"Then can you quickly exchange Gao Tian back? We're waiting for him here."
"Alright, I'll contact him again."
After a while, the call came again.
"Chief, Captain Gao is currently leading the rescue team to rescue the trapped injured. He can't get away for the time being. We will think of a way to get him back as soon as possible.”
He Yixuan immediately called Gao Tian's cell phone, but no one answered. She was so angry that she wanted to cry on the spot. Her father, He Shuheng, immediately advised,"Yixuan, don't worry. We'll wait patiently for a while." It's still early."
He Shuming also said: " Right, you also know that as a police officer, there might be an urgent mission at any time and you can't get away." Good things take time. It's okay. We'll wait slowly.”
He Yixuan was furious. "Gao Tian, you're dead.”
She even felt that Gao Tian was deliberately making things difficult for her. Why did he have to go out at this time? Could it be that there was no one left in the police station at the basic level, and he, the patrol captain of the municipal bureau, had to personally command them?
She cried and ran away. Yixuan's mother and Xia Yuhong had no choice but to persuade him.
Gao Pengfei and White Cloud Pigeon were left behind to accompany their relatives and friends. They were also anxious for Gao Tian, but even He Shuming, the secretary of the Provincial Political and Law Committee, couldn't transfer him back from the scene, so he, Gao Pengfei, didn't have the ability. The two families had no choice but to wait for the wedding news in their hearts, which they could not meet with their relatives and friends.
