Although Lu Yan didn't say it explicitly, he really didn't like it when his Miaomiao was always distracted thinking about other things.
His Miaomiao should only have him in her heart.
Ning Anmiao was silent for two seconds. She detected the jealousy in his words and couldn't help smiling brightly. "Why are you even jealous of Yanyan?"
Lu Yan paused for a moment. He watched as the corners of her mouth curled up brightly and her eyes sparkled.
"Do you feel happy marrying me?" He suddenly asked this out of the blue, staring intently at her.
He was trying his best to present everything best to her, but still felt it wasn't enough.
Since he had never learned how to love someone, he didn't know what it meant to love someone to the extreme.
"Happy." Ning Anmiao thought for a few seconds and replied seriously, "Every minute and every second with you is happiness."
Because the two of them loved each other, happiness came naturally.
Looking at her charming and beautiful face, Lu Yan's eyes darkened. It was obvious that his mind was wandering to other things.
His hands, which were originally around her waist, began to move restlessly.
They had been together for a long time, and Ning Anmiao couldn't fail to understand the meaning in his eyes. She immediately nipped his thought in the bud.
She pushed against his chest and took a vigilant step back, looking assertive. "Don't mess around. I just finished my makeup."
She still had to go out to toast the guests later. She didn't want her makeup to be ruined.
She wanted to look beautiful.
Seeing the little girl on high alert as if facing a great enemy, Lu Yan lowered his eyes slightly. The smile on his lips faded a bit. "Okay, I'll owe it first. I'll make it up after you take off your makeup."
Ning Anmiao: "..."

In the hotel lobby, almost all the guests who were supposed to come had arrived.
After all, this was Lu Yan's engagement banquet. The occasion was naturally grand, and those who could attend were no ordinary people. They were all carefully selected by Lu Yan before being invited.
That was why the atmosphere in the entire lobby was so harmonious.
Ning Anmiao's parents, Ning Zhijing and Bai Jiaying, had also arrived early and were sitting in the seats arranged by Special Assistant Song.
Not used to attending such occasions, Ning Zhijing felt a bit uncomfortable at first.
But seeing that the guests around didn't act obsequiously as he remembered, and there were no vulgar faces, he felt relieved.
At the same time, a sense of gratification welled up in his heart.
He knew that Lu Yan was a sensible young man.
When he nodded and agreed to marry his daughter to him, he had already made all the preparations, comprehensive and meticulous.
He felt at ease entrusting Miaomiao to him.
The engagement ceremony began. Supported by Lu Yan, Ning Anmiao appeared in front of everyone in a delicate and beautiful dress.
Everyone knew that the daughter of the Ning family had been influenced by the family's scholarly atmosphere, so she was naturally gentle, elegant, and beautiful. But when they actually saw her at this moment, they couldn't help but be amazed.
She had a noble and pure beauty that was unstained by the world. One would feel it was a desecration to look at her for too long. And Lu Yan beside her was like a divine protector.
The two complemented each other perfectly and looked extremely well - matched standing together.
When they raised their glasses to toast, all the guests also smiled and raised their glasses, sincerely sending their blessings to the new couple.
Ning Zhijing sat up very straight. A relieved and gratified smile finally appeared on his aged face.
Watching his daughter smiling brightly while holding the man beside her, he felt happy, but there was also a tinge of sadness in his heart.
This flower that he had raised since childhood had been blooming vigorously under his careful care.
It had once grown thorns and pricked his hand, but it had also become soft and learned to be considerate and filial.
Anyway, his daughter had to grow up.
Fortunately, she could live a happy life from now on.
Bai Jiaying beside him was already wiping the corners of her eyes. Her eyes were red. Ning Zhijing couldn't help scoffing. "You're such an old woman. If our daughter sees you later, she'll laugh at you."
Bai Jiaying looked up and saw that his eyes were also slightly moist. She couldn't help retorting, "Control your emotions first. I'm not sure who will cry in front of our daughter later."
...
After the ceremony, the guests took their seats one after another and began to enjoy the main meal. Of course, there were also some bosses and businessmen who took this opportunity to discuss cooperation.
For businessmen, every banquet was an excellent opportunity to negotiate, and it was no exception for Yin Yiyan.
Now her studio was getting better and better, and her business was booming. But for Yin Yiyan, this was far from enough.
What she was constructing was a more grand design blueprint, a design brand of her own, and a whole design company belonging to her.
Because of her goals, she was full of motivation. After watching the ceremony, she started looking for targets and chatting and laughing with all kinds of bosses involved in design.
She was wearing a black fishtail wrap - around dress today. There were some hollow - out parts on her chest inlaid with diamonds. At first glance, it was both alluring and glittering.
It was really hard to take one's eyes off her.
She didn't seem to care at all. Holding a wine glass in her hand, she laughed with the bosses in front of her from time to time. Her eyes were charming and beautiful.
Her figure was plump and well - proportioned. At this moment, she was noble and elegant, like a blooming flower of wealth in the world.
She was very aware of her own beauty and knew how to please people most appropriately.
She was like a smart and coquettish fox.
And Gong Ming was standing not far from her.
He had been watching her in the dark for a long time. From the moment she appeared until now, he could see Yin Yiyan being charming and socializing among the crowd.
One after another.
It seemed that she could easily get those cooperation opportunities or the contact information of big bosses. The corners of her mouth were curled up with joy.
She was extremely happy.
It seemed that she was completely unaware of what those cooperation partners were after.
His face was very gloomy.
Gong Ming gritted his teeth. The look in his eyes became even darker. He watched as she put down her wine glass, scanned the whole place with her eyes, and then walked towards the restroom.
Gong Ming immediately followed without any hesitation.
Yin Yiyan took a few steps. Her vigilant sense told her that someone was following her.
She paused slightly. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the cuffs of the suit she had seen as soon as she entered. She slightly curled her lips and smiled.
He finally couldn't hold back.
In front of the sink, Yin Yiyan turned on the faucet. Just as she wet her palms, a big hand from behind pressed firmly on her delicate waist.
Yin Yiyan immediately turned around. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if she really didn't want to see him.
Gong Ming's voice was very distinctive. "Why are you avoiding me?" His tone was obviously cold.
Watching the man's face getting closer, Yin Yiyan wasn't surprised. She just slightly resisted and tried to break free from his restraint. "Mr. Gong, you're overstepping your bounds."
