The next day, at the construction site of "City of Hope".
With the crackling of firecrackers, the red banner reading "Topping - off Ceremony Successful" fluttered down from the top of the already - completed "Castle of Hope".
A wave of excited cheers and applause erupted on the construction site.
Whether it was "Hope Town", "Castle of Hope", or "Polar Bear Paradise", the main structures of all the venues were fully completed! Next, as long as the internal hardware and software facilities were improved according to the blueprints, the entire "City of Hope" would be finished and ready for use!
There was a platform at the entrance of the "Castle of Hope". At this moment, Wei Shu stood on the platform. He raised his hand and pressed down towards the crowd below. The noisy voices immediately ceased, and everyone looked up at him in unison.
"Everyone, please be quiet. Mr. Yan has something to say to you all."
"Completing the main structure is the result of the joint efforts of everyone involved in the project. To celebrate this significant moment, I will invite you all to have dinner at the Haicheng International Hotel tonight."
Upon hearing this, the cheers became even more enthusiastic. After the scene had quieted down a bit, Yan Yincheng continued,
"Besides, I have another piece of good news to announce."
"Three days from now, Miss Xu Zixi and I will hold our wedding on Yitail Island. We will arrange luxury cruise ships to pick up and drop off the wedding guests at the ferry. At that time, please do come."
As soon as he finished speaking, bodyguards like A Qiang and A Wei immediately stepped forward with the pre - prepared wedding invitations and distributed them to everyone one by one.
Their wedding invitations were designed with the element of "golden amber". The paper was light purple in tone and would turn golden as the light changed. There were also a group of fish forming a heart shape and golden dots printed on it, making it truly lovable.
"Wow, this invitation is so beautiful!" someone in the crowd exclaimed.
"Yeah, it's so gorgeous. I'm so looking forward to Mr. Yan and Miss Xu's wedding. It must be very special and grand!"
"I will definitely come to the wedding to give gifts and blessings to Mr. Yan and Miss Xu!"
"Me too!"
In the evening, everyone from the "City of Hope" project team came to the Haicheng International Hotel for dinner. The banquet hall was filled with twenty tables of people. Knowing that it was Mr. Yan who had booked the place, the head chef Jiang Changan of the Haicheng International Hotel personally cooked a seafood feast.
Everyone enjoyed this dinner very much and couldn't help but look forward to the wedding three days later.
Xu Zixi and Yan Yincheng only stayed in the banquet hall for a short while. Then Yan Yincheng pulled Xu Zixi out of the banquet hall, got into his Maybach, and drove towards a certain place in Haicheng.
His mysterious look made Xu Zixi feel amused for no reason. The wedding was just three days away. What new tricks was he up to now?
The place Yan Yincheng took Xu Zixi to was the tallest observation tower in Haicheng.
At the top of the high tower, the floor under their feet was all made of glass. Standing on it gave one the feeling of hanging in mid - air. The wind blew strongly against people's clothes and hair, as if they would be blown away by the wind the next second.
There were quite a few people on the observation tower. Yan Yincheng couldn't see, so he couldn't feel the sense of weightlessness. However, he could sense Xu Zixi's nervousness.
When they came to the railing, Yan Yincheng encircled Xu Zixi in his arms. Hearing her let out a small sigh of relief, Yan Yincheng asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Are you afraid of heights?"
Xu Zixi leaned completely against him and said, "Not really, but I'm a bit nervous. After all, there's glass under our feet!"
"Brother Cheng, what on earth do you plan to do by bringing me here?"
Yan Yincheng lowered his head and rubbed his chin against her cheek, saying, "Zixi, I want you to describe the world you see in front of you to me. It's my first time seeing the night view. What does it look like?"
Xu Zixi smiled and described it to him in the softest voice, "Brother Cheng, what's in front of us now is the urban area of Haicheng. Looking around, you can see countless high - rise buildings, and there are colorful lights everywhere. These lights interweave into a sea of lights..."
Suddenly, tens of thousands of glowing drones appeared in the sky in front of them, like numerous bright and dazzling meteors. The tourists beside them exclaimed,
"Wow, it's so beautiful. What is this?"
The next second, the people on the observation tower, including Xu Zixi, knew what these drones were for.
Perhaps having received the instructions, the drones began to change their formations and form one word after another in the air.
The nearby tourists read out the words one by one, "Xu Zixi, you are my only true love. I will use the rest of my life to pave a bright path for you. Will you be my wife?"
In the distance, thousands of gorgeous fireworks suddenly bloomed, and together with the drones, they became the most beautiful and magnificent scenery in the night of Haicheng.
"Wow, who on earth is this Xu Zixi? Someone is proposing in such a way. It's so romantic!"
"I'm so envious! As far as I know, the cost of such a live performance with so many drones and fireworks is at least tens of millions! This is the most expensive proposal I've ever seen!"
"If I were the one being proposed to, I'd marry without hesitation!"
There were intense discussions among the tourists around. They didn't know that the person proposing and the person being proposed to were both on the scene.
A gentle kiss landed on Xu Zixi's cheek. The man hugged her from behind and whispered in her ear, "Do you like it? I've been preparing this show for a long time. You proposed once, and now I propose once. Now we're even."
Xu Zixi turned around, tiptoed to hook his neck, and said with a smile, "Then I'll answer again."
"Mr. Yan Yincheng, I accept your proposal. I give you three days to prepare for the wedding and marry me home to be your wife. Otherwise, I'll run away with someone else!"
Putting his hands on her slender waist, Yan Yincheng said, "I won't allow it. Miss Xu Zixi can only be mine."
He lowered his head and kissed her lips, and she responded passionately.
It didn't take long for people to notice the two of them kissing.
"So they are the ones getting proposed to!"
"It seems the girl has accepted the boy's proposal!"
"Congratulations! Wish you two have a baby soon!"
After Xu Zixi and Yan Yincheng separated a little, they found that there was a circle of onlookers around them. They pressed their foreheads against each other, smiling with their eyes bent. The countless lights and stars were reflected in her eyes, shining brighter than diamonds, as if she had obtained the whole world.
The next day, as soon as the Haicheng Marriage Registration Center opened its doors, it welcomed the first couple to register for marriage today.
Xu Zixi and Yan Yincheng sat upright in front of the marriage registration window and handed forward the documents and forms they had prepared.
Without any surprise, with the heavy stamp of the official seal, the two became a legally married couple.
Holding the red marriage certificates in their hands, Yan Yincheng gently stroked the three gilded characters "Marriage Certificate" on the booklet with his sensitive fingertips and showed a slightly silly smile.
