Chapter 157: Looking Forward to theEngagement Ceremony

"Engagement, huh... I guess it's okay,” Old Pansy laughed heartily andthen instructed Maurice, "Maurice, go get the Chinese almanac.”Flipping through the almanac, Old Pansy put on his reading glassesand carefully studied it for a few minutes before looking up at Patrickand Jane. "The 18th of this month is an auspicious day according to theChinese zodiac. It would be a good day for your engagementceremony.”

"The 18th? Isn't that too rushed?" Jane was somewhat speechless.Today was already the 10th, so there were only eight days left. Wasn'tthat too hasty? She didn't even have enough time to design her owndress.

Patrick's deep gaze turned towards Jane as he reached out anddirectly embraced her. In a clear tone of voice he said, "It's not rushedat all. You don't need to prepare anything; I will give you a grandengagement ceremony when the time comes. All you have to do is waitto be beautiful as my bride."

Looking at her grandson and Jane's affectionate appearance, OldPansy nodded in satisfaction. "Then it's settled.”

Jane was somewhat speechless... what do you mean “settled’? Shehadn't agreed yet.

The men of the Pansy family were really domineering one after another."Grandfather, I will continue to send people to keep an eye onWinston," Patrick suddenly remembered something as he spoke upagain: "Morton has found the pilot who crashed into sea after fallingfrom our plane; unfortunately they suffered injuries during their fall sothey can't remember anything about that day."

“I see,” Old Pansy frowned slightly: "Let's arrange for him to receivetreatment from our best doctor.”

“I've already arranged it," Patrick replied coldly with clear eyes:"Grandfather Winston can imprison you with madness or tamper withmy plane trying harm me or even cause my father's death...all arerelated him."

Old Pansy narrowed his eyes slightly as a complex expression flashedacross them: "Don't jump into conclusions without solid evidence first; Ireally don't want it to be Winston."

After all, Winston had been raised by him since childhood, and hisfather had done him favors back then-even sacrificing himself in ordersave him. Old pansy adopted Winston because of this reason. He reallydidn't want believe that Winston had ulterior motives.

"I understand grandfather,” Patrick replied calmly.

News spread quickly about Patrick and Jane's engagement plansbecoming hot topic online instantly topping search engines everywhere.The comments below were also unprecedentedly enthusiastic withmany expressing their congratulations:

"Mr. Patrick and Miss Jane are finally getting engaged!"

"Mr. Patrick and Miss Jane, the best couple, congratulations to them!"“The heartthrob is getting engaged. Envy, jealousy, hate... just kidding!Congratulations to Mr. Patrick and Miss Jane!"

There were also many negative comments about Jane:

"Jane is a country bumpkin. What does she have that's worthy of Mr.Patrick?"

"Jane is a promiscuous woman who can't make up her mind betweentwo men. Don't be fooled by her, Mr. Patrick!"

In the Pansy Group CEO office,

Patrick sat in his chair, his slender fingers swiping through his phonescreen as he saw those negative comments about Jane furrowing hisbrows.

He called Morton over and said in a deep voice, "Go delete all thosenegative news."

Morton respectfully replied,"Yes sir."

At Allure Bar with flickering lights,

In the dressing room, a young girl wearing a white dress looked downat her phone with no expression on her face as she stared at the largephoto of Patrick and Jane.

"Angel, why haven't you put on your makeup yet? The performancestarts in half an hour.” Angel's companion Alice reminded her when shesaw Angel staring at her phone screen without blinking.

All female singers at the bar used English names including Angelwhose real name was Candice Dillon.

Candice lifted her head slightly and glanced coldly at Alice beforereplying,”l know."

"What are you looking at?" Curious Alice leaned over,

After seeing news about Patrick and Jane's upcoming engagementceremony, Alice exclaimed enviously,"Angel, you're interested in themtoo? I heard they're getting engaged soon."

"So what?" Candice snorted disdainfully.

Alice sighed admiringly,"Jane can marry such an outstanding man likePatrick; she must be the happiest woman in the world!"

A glint of coldness flashed across Candice's eyes as she repliedicily,"Not for long."

Before they knew it, the day of Jane and Patrick's engagementceremony arrived on 18th .

Patrick woke up early that day. He knocked on Janes door "Are youawake yet, Jane?"

"Mm-hmm", Jane opened the door "You're up so early".

“It's a very special day today. You didn't forget, right?", Patrick smiledtenderly with hidden meaning behind his words.

Rubbing her hair, Jane replied "I know. But now... it's still too early”.

In front of him, the woman with sleepy eyes had long hair that floweddown her shoulders, exuding a lazy charm. Patrick's deep gaze couldn'thelp but reach out and embrace her slender waist, pulling her into hisarms.

Before Jane could react, Patrick's scorching kiss had alreadydescended upon her like a storm...

"Okay," Jane said as she pushed away from the man who was holdingher tightly. Her chest heaved up and down as she thought for a momentbefore continuing, "I won't go to work today. I'll rest at home in themorning and then Nana and I will go get our hair done in theafternoon.”

“I'll come with you," Patrick said as he pulled her back into his embraceand planted a kiss on her forehead.

Did this man have to be so clingy?

Jane's body couldn't help but tremble slightly as she gently pushed himaway. "No need. Nana will be there with me. Don't you still have work todo?"

"But I want to be with you," Patrick pursed his lips.

On this special day, which was so important to them both, Patrick didn'twant to spend even one moment apart from his beloved fiancée.

"How about this? I'll call you after my appointment later today and thenyou can come pick me up." Jane thought for a moment before speakingagain.

She knew that Patrick was a workaholic; after Winston's incident atPansy Group recently it had affected things somewhat so now morethan ever he needed to put more effort into it all.

Seeing that Jane was insistent on going alone, Patrick quickly kissedher cheek before speaking in his low voice filled with emotion: "Alrightthen... I'll listen to my wife."

"Who is your wife? You're shameless!" The nickname made Jane blushfuriously.

Seeing how red-faced she looked now only made him smile evenwider: "Okay okay... I'm off to work now. Remember to call me laterwhen your appointment is over."

Tonight would make their love official in front of everyone else - makingJane the happiest woman in the world while also making everyone elseenvious of them both...

He really looked forward tonight's engagement ceremony!
