Beg Me to Remarry

Chapter 707: Chapter 710: I Beg You

Luo Qinghe nodded after hearing this, and his whole demeanor visibly relaxed.

Perhaps sensing Fu Han’s gaze, his face stiffened for a moment before quickly regaining composure. Looking down, he earnestly said to Fu Han, "I’ve asked you about Nan Qing before, please don’t tell Bai Wei, okay?" noveldrama

There was a pause before Luo Qinghe changed his tone slightly, adding a pleading note, "Consider it a favor to me."

Fu Han’s expression was neither pleasant nor ugly as she looked deeply at Luo Qinghe and slowly spoke, "I don’t want to get involved in either your situation with Nan Qing or with Bai Wei; but both Bai Wei and Nan Qing are my friends, and I don’t want them to get hurt. Especially now that you and Bai Wei are planning to get married, I hope you understand what is truly important in your heart."

"I know," Luo Qinghe’s face flushed with urgency as he said hastily, "I swear to heaven, my heart is set only on Bai Wei. If I were to be fickle-hearted, may lightning strike me."

Though Fu Han thought vows were the most insubstantial things, she recognized that when a person swore such a weighty oath, it showed they really didn’t know how else to express themselves and resorted to cursing themselves.

Fu Han felt somewhat guilty for pressuring Luo Qinghe into making a vow, but her heart finally settled down.

After all, he was someone she had once liked very much. Even though she didn’t like him now, she couldn’t just put him behind her instantly, because he was someone she had truly loved.

She smiled at Luo Qinghe and then followed him back to Bai Wei’s makeup room.

Before long, just as expected, He Xing arrived, bringing breakfast just for Fu Han, which earned him some playful teasing from Bai Wei.

However, the matter did not escalate further, as Luo Qinghe had already arranged breakfast, tailored to the preferences of Bai Wei’s family of three, successfully allowing Bai Wei to one-up Fu Han in her presence.

For women, love is always the most nourishing elixir. Fu Han and Bai Wei, bathed in the glow of love, were stunningly beautiful, a beauty no cosmetic could replicate, and not even the most skillful makeup artist could achieve such natural radiance.

By ten o’clock, guests started to arrive in droves, making the already lively hotel even more bustling with an air of festive joy.

Li Huazhi and Luo Qiluo as a couple, along with Fu Xingbo and Bai Qian, greeted guests at the hotel entrance, all four elders beaming with pleasure.

Usually, it would be the couple themselves who do the greeting for either an engagement or a wedding, but due to Bai Wei’s special status, having her at the door would likely attract all the gossipy journalists waiting outside, making it difficult for the guests to enter.

Fu Han had intended to help out, but both He Xing and Luo Qinghe insisted that she stay put inside the hotel; at first, she didn’t understand why, but eventually, it dawned on her.

Today, the situation between Ji Liangchuan and Xia Ning was common knowledge across the city, which consequently raised the level of attention on both Fu Han and He Xing much more than before.

The journalists lurking outside the hotel were there hoping to kill two birds with one stone; capturing either Bai Wei and Luo Qinghe or He Xing and Fu Han would all be lucrative for them.

An engagement ceremony is much simpler compared to a wedding ceremony, and today’s event was expertly managed by the host, Lin Na, who Bai Wei’s agent had hired for a hefty sum for her first-class command of the event.

After several thunderous rounds of applause, Luo Qinghe and Bai Wei finally made their eagerly awaited appearance.

Before the ceremony began, Bai Wei wore a mermaid silhouette lace gown with exquisite handwoven lace details, paired with delicate makeup that made her look like a princess emerging from a deep forest.

During the ceremony now, Bai Wei had changed into her favorite satin gown.

This gown too was handcrafted, its smooth satin shone like a mirror, giving Bai Wei an aura of radiance.

Previously known for her chic short hair, Bai Wei hadn’t cut it short for over half a year, and now it reached her shoulders.

The hairstylist for the day had arranged her hair into an updo, on which a sparkling diamond tiara sat. Wisps of hair delicately framed her face, the gentle curls accentuating Bai Wei’s exquisite features even more.

In truth, Bai Wei hadn’t gone to extreme lengths with her attire today, besides the crown atop her head, she merely wore a pair of diamond earrings, a slim silver-chain diamond necklace, and a matching bracelet.

The fine chains complemented Bai Wei’s white satin gown perfectly, enhancing her entire disposition.

These pieces of jewelry were also sponsored, with countless sponsors having sent their gems in hopes that Bai Wei would wear them at her engagement ceremony. In the end, Bai Wei had kept only three sets, to match her three different gowns.

While Fu Han was lost in thought, Luo Qinghe and Bai Wei already completed their mutual confessions. Next came the most thrilling moment of the engagement ceremony: Luo Qinghe would kneel on one knee and propose in public, slipping the diamond ring—designed by himself—onto Bai Wei’s finger.

It was her cue. Fu Han was already standing at the side of the stage; the tray carrying the ring and everything else had been prepared well in advance. According to the plan, she was to deliver the ring, while Su Cheng would bring the Champagne.

Privately, Fu Han had wanted to go up with He Xing, but Bai Wei mentioned that Luo Qinghe had grown up with Su Cheng, and since Luo Qinghe had invited the best man, it wouldn’t have been right for her to change that.

Moreover, He Xing wasn’t keen on such affairs, and he had even told Fu Han in private that as a couple, their joint appearance might divide the audience’s attention. Therefore, it was better for him not to act as the best man.

Fu Han thought his reasoning was solid, she didn’t want to overshadow the bride and groom, so she let the matter go without bringing it up again.

"Alright, you can go up now," He Xing gently tousled Fu Han’s hair and said with a breezy smile, "Don’t be nervous, think of it as gathering some experience in advance."

Fu Han almost rolled her eyes right then and there—please, she was not inexperienced. She had been engaged twice and had wedding experience too, it was just that none of them had ended in success.

Perhaps heaven thought they deserved a much better future, which was why things between her and He Xing were always like this, with good things never coming easily.

Lifting her skirt, Fu Han took step after step toward the stairs, and when she reached the last step, she turned back for a glance. He Xing was watching her, his eyes exceptionally tender, her tweed coat resting in the crook of his arm.

Luo Qinghe was already kneeling on one knee in front of Bai Wei, while Bai Wei’s beautiful eyes were filled with glistening tears, her look of tearful anticipation moving everyone’s hearts.
