"There should be a big one. I heard you are going to make your engagement official at your birthday party. Is that true?" Mo Yuan asked him as he gave Tang Yujin an innocent look.
"…" Tang Yujin cursed his best friend in his mind.
At the mention of another engagement, everyone's attention went to Tang Yujin.
Han Luo asked first, "Big brother Yujin, how come you didn't tell us such joyous news?"
"…" Zheng Mian knew what Tang Yujin felt from her friend. It was a woman's intuition. She felt helpless when her friend questioned him directly.
'Joyous news? Right,' she spoke in her mind and secretly gazed at him.
Tang Yujin didn't seem to be heartbroken. For a split second, he had no expression at all. Soon, he gave Han Luo a soft smile and said, "I was planning to surprise you all. Who would have thought Xiao Yuan would betray me like that?"
"Big brother Yuan knew too. How awful! You all keep everything secrets!" Han Luo complained.
Tang Yujin coaxed her with his gentle tone, "I know little Luo loves surprises and so I kept it from you."
"It's not that I like surprises all the time. Since it's your engagement, leave your birthday and engagement program to me. I, Han Luo, will arrange the most splendid engagement party of the year," Han Luo swore. Due to excitement, she was full of energy.
Her own engagement was unexpected. She wasn't prepared for that. Moreover, she was so overwhelmed with emotions that she could barely remember her surroundings. The only thing that was in her memory was her and Mo Yuan's passionate night.
Since she finally got the chance to enjoy an engagement party, she wanted to pour every drop of imagination she could think of to arrange a grand party.
'This girl… is such a child… She has no clue how her joy for Yujin's engagement is hurting him.' Zheng Mian sighed inwardly. 'Well, we all are childish no matter how much we grow up and she is just an eighteen years old teen. Maybe asking for her to be mature would be too much. She already handles her job like a mature person. If her personality also changes, that won't be the Luo anymore.'
The corner of Mo Yuan's lips lifted. He was certainly pleased with his wifey's behavior. He suggested to his best friend, "Yes, let Ah Luo do this. You are also going to take over the company after you complete your Ph. D. Let Elder Tang announce that with your engagement. The party has to be glamorous as many guests from top companies will attend. Give this project to Ah Luo of the Han Co. It'll boost her image and she will be recognized as the official heir of the Han Co."
Han Luo was confused. "How can people randomly recognize me as the official heir? I had done only one successful project. It is nothing to promote my position in the company. I have yet to learn more."
Mo Yuan asked her, "You do know that you have to fight against Xiao Ming for the position of President, right?"
"…" Han Luo always tried to avoid talking about it, especially in front of Han Sheng Ming. It made her feel uncomfortable.
However, Han Sheng Ming felt nothing of that sort. He knew for a long time and things would come to this on the day. He was long prepared. He said, "What fight? How dare you force little Luo Luo for something like that? There won't be any fight. As long as little Luo Luo wishes, I will do everything I can to help her, including giving away the position of the President."
"I won't allow that!" Han Luo instantly responded. "You have worked so hard all this time and you want to let it go so easily? This is not fair for your family. We will have a fair fight and whoever wins will get the position of the President."
"But I don't want to fight my cute little sister," Han Sheng Ming looked like he was going to cry at any moment.
"How about this? If you win, I will give you a present. A kiss on the cheek," Han Luo stated.
Han Sheng Ming's eyes sparkled as though his parents promised him his favorite toy. He hugged her in happiness and gloated, "I knew my cute little Luo Luo is the best." His hand patted her head, it was more like raffling her hair.
"…" Mo Yuan's expression grimaced. The unhappiness he was feeling in his chest was too uncomfortable.
"Is something burning? I think I can smell something weird," Tang Yujin commented.
"…"
"Burning? Burning what?" Han Sheng Ming stood up and ran to the corridor where they had the main switch.
Zheng Mian slapped her forehead. 'Ahh…. Why am I thinking Luo is childish? Look at my boyfriend. He is more childish than Luo, his younger cousin.'

3rd September came soon after that day and it was Tang Yujin's birthday already.
Han Luo was busy instructing people to decorate the place with flowers and ribbons. She had also prepared flower petals.
In the evening, the huge hall was illuminated with hundreds of decorative lights. The guests started to come one by one and Tang Family welcomed them personally.
When everyone arrived, Elder Tang came to the stage. The stage lights spotted him and landed on him as he stood in the middle of the stage. "I, Head of the Tang Family, welcome all the distinguished guests. In this pleasant evening, we have gathered to celebrate my one and only grandson, Tang Yujin's birthday."
As he paused slightly, the hall was filled with applause. At that time, Tang Yujin walked to the stage and joined him. He was wearing a white pink blazer, same colored pants. His shirt was baby pink colored. His shoes were white. He looked like a charming prince. He bowed to everyone as a greeting.
Elder Tang continued, "On such a joyous day, there is another news I would like to share with you…"
