Chapter 12: Wedding Invitation.
The Star City was very bright and beautiful during the night. Many pedestrians were walking on the roadside, some were couples, some were friends, there was even a family of three walking along the road. The night in Star City seemed to be very lively.
Inside one of the private rooms in a famous five-star restaurant, sat five people around the table with three young men and two young women. The three men were undoubtedly alphas at a glance while the two women were omegas.
One of the women wore silver rim glasses, she pushed her glasses up and said, “A-Hang calling us to gather here today, there must be good news for us right?”
Tang Yuhang, the eldest young master of the Tang Family was still wearing a military uniform at this moment. He had a serious expression on his face, no matter what the topic was, Tang Yuhang would always have this serious type of expression, which everyone could immediately understand that this man was very serious in everything.
On his left-hand side sat a young man in a black shirt, the first two buttons were unbuttoned by the man himself who knew since when, making him appear wild and unrestrained. He lifted his eyes, looking at everyone lazily, then he took the glass of red wine and sipped it casually, and this man was none other than Zhang Gushen, the famous young lieutenant colonel.
Tang Yuhang nodded as he passed the golden invitation to his friends one by one. Even though his face was still serious, his eyes seemed to be smiling at this moment. “I’ll be getting married this month, hoping that all of you will attend.”
The people sitting around the table were all the young masters and young misses of the five big families. The woman with silver rim glasses cut a piece of steak and put it in her mouth before chewing slowly. She was the eldest miss of the Yue Family, Yue Lan. She was currently the chief of the White Tower, a place where almost all scientific researchers dream about. During this action, she also responded with interest, “Oh, congratulations. Seems like Xiao Ya is indeed capable enough to capture Mr. Serious’s heart.”
Mr.Serious was Tang Yuhang’s nickname. Because this man had always been serious, thus they sometimes joked and called him Mr.Serious.
The other woman had short hair, she wore a white shirt with a black short straight skirt. She was the eldest miss of the Baili Family, Baili Jiuning, and was the most famous young female omega doctor in the Star Empire. She took a sip of water and smiled. “I’m wondering how Mr.Serious proposed to Xiao Ya?”
Hearing this question, Tang Yuhang, who had just drunk beer, was choked. Zhang Gushen laughed out loud, attracting the people at the table. The other young man asked impatiently, “Hey, hurry up and spit it out. I really want to know!”
This impatient guy was the eldest young master of the Nangong Family, Nangong Fuqiang. He was the current Instructor Fu of the Military Department in Twilight University, also ranked as Major in the Military.
Yue Lan rolled her eyes at him. “Instructor Fu, can you calm down first? I somehow begin to feel a little pity in advance for your future partner who will stay with such an impatient man.”
Nangong Fuqiang’s face turned black. He stood up and rolled his sleeves, ready to fight with this big sister at any time. Zhang Gushen quickly pulled Nangong Fuqiang down and said, “You two, please restrain yourself from quarreling and also try to make peace, in case you will become family in the future.”
The two people said in one voice. “Impossible!”
Zhang Gushen leaned back with his arms crossed. The corner of his mouth curved up into a lazy smile. He said meaningfully, “Of course, the two of you can’t be together.” He continued unhurriedly, “What I mean is…”
Nangong Fuqiang became more impatient. “What?”
“Sister Lan, take good care of your little brother, or else he might eat clean by this impatient dog in the future.” Zhang Gushen shrugged, “I’m just talking nonsense, don’t take it seriously.”
However, Zhang Gushen’s words reminded Baili Jiuning about something. “Xiao Yao? This little guy used to follow A-Qiang when he was a child. He is really clingy at that time, whenever I see A-Qiang, there will always be Xiao Yao beside him. But now you two seem to be not so close like before..?”
Yue Lan snorted coldly. “What else do you expect? Xiao Yao is a beta, how can a beta be worthy in Instructor Fu’s eyes.”
Nangong Fuqiang frowned. “Sister Lan, you…”
Tang Yuhang coughed, interrupting the two people. “That’s enough, stop arguing. I’m calling everyone here to celebrate happily, not quarreling endlessly like this.”
Both Nangong Fuqiang and Yue Lan withdrew their eyes, and continued eating their food silently as if nothing had happened. However, Zhang Gushen still noticed that the impatient dog beside him seemed to be lifeless in an instant, and his usual fast behavior also slowed down by half as if he was absent-minded.
Zhang Gushen hit the back of Nangong Fuqiang’s head. “What are you in a daze for?”
Nangong Fuqiang furrowed his brows while pulling his hair angrily. “Nothing, just feeling a bit annoyed.”
Zhang Gushen looked at him for a moment and decided to give his friend some advice. “Solve the puzzle in your heart as soon as possible, otherwise you might never find that answer.”
Nangong Fuqiang sighed. “I see.”
Baili Jiuning took the tissue and wiped her mouth. Yet, she still didn’t forget what she had said earlier. “A-Hang, please tell us the process of how you propose to her.”
Mentioning this topic, everyone suddenly became interested. Yue Lan also asked, “Where did you propose to her?”
Zhang Gushen began to laugh again.
Tang Yuhang’s serious expression cracked at this moment, and was replaced with a sense of helplessness. “Her clinic.”
Everyone looked at him with puzzlement.
Baili Jiuning felt strange. “Xiao Ya’s clinic? I think this isn’t the best place.”
Tang Yuhang nodded and sighed lightly. “Of course, it isn’t but what can I do?”
“You know Yaya is a psychologist, right?”
Everyone nodded.
Seeing this, Tang Yuhang continued, “During the day I prepared to propose to her, Yaya always noticed something wrong with my behavior. She would often describe it to me and asked me worriedly. I also replied to her that I’m fine but she felt I’m not. As you all know, proposing to your partner is a serious matter, I can’t take it lightly. Besides, I’m also nervous, I’m afraid that it will not go according to my plan.”
At this time, Tang Yuhang remained silent for a while before he struggled to say his final sentence, “But it’s still not going well because Yaya saw through everything.”
The whole room suddenly became quiet. The two women covered their mouths to stifle a laugh, and it was until hearing Zhang Gushen laugh out loud that everyone couldn’t hold back and follow him, thus the room was filled with laughter.
Tang Yuhang glanced at them helplessly, he didn’t want to recall this event because it was a regret for him not to make a surprise proposal for his partner. Nevertheless, he was happy that they could come to this point.
After the laughter died down, Baili Jiuning remembered the interesting news that she had just heard. “A-Shen, how is it going between you and Xiao Liang?”
Zhang Gushen subconsciously sat up straight. “Sister Ning, what do you mean…”
On the other hand, Yue Lan was surprised upon seeing Zhang Gushen’s reaction. “No way? You shouldn’t have forgotten that you already have an engagement with Xiao Liang?”
Zhang Gushen’s face became complicated. “No, I didn’t forget.” He indeed almost forgot about this.
Baili Jiuning rested her chin on one of her palms. “So how is it going now? Have you two met?”
Zhang Gushen shook his head. “No, I’ve been too busy recently, and besides, I think this little guy might not want to meet me, after all, he rarely appears in public, so I have never seen him.”
As Tang Yuliang’s eldest brother, Tang Yuhang said, “Oh, I have to tell everyone that Xiao Liang had been in Minsheng University for about two years already.”
Yue Lan lifted her brows slightly, “So did Xiao Yao.”
All the people in the Star Empire including the five big families knew pretty clearly that the Second Young Master Tang and the Second Young Master Yue had always been mysterious about their appearance, which made many people curious about these two people.
Nangong Fuqiang glanced at her.
Yue Lan wasn’t aware of the look and added, “He had been in the Scientific Research Department for two years as well. However, he wanted to be low-key and told us not to expose his true identity.”
Tang Yuhang nodded along with her. “Xiao Liang did the same, he said it’s too troublesome if many people know about his identity.”
The three people finally found the topic to talk about but the protagonist of the topic suddenly became silent, making them feel unusual and couldn’t help looking at him. What they saw was Zhang Gushen staring at his communicator and smiling.
Nangong Fuqiang seized this opportunity to kick Zhang Gushen’s chair. Hence, the other party immediately raised his head and came across with many pairs of eyes looking at him curiously.
Zhang Gushen cleared his throat and said solemnly to everyone, “About the engagement…I already have someone I’m interested in.”
