Chapter 1268: Chapter 1268: Black Hair, Black Eyes, Snowy Skin, Red Lips
Is this really her?
Liu Minjun’s eyes were moist, choked with pride, and said, "Ziyi, you look beautiful."
The person in the mirror wore a fitted white long dress, with a remarkable temperament and beauty beyond description.
Ziyi stared blankly at her reflection in the mirror, suddenly panicking as she averted her gaze: "Mom, let’s go."
Liu Minjun smiled and softly replied "Okay," holding her hand as they went downstairs.
The engagement ceremony was held at a nearby estate, and at this time, He Yirong had already gone ahead to oversee arrangements. He was responsible for entertaining the elites of Yanzhou City, while He Jingyao and his wife would also go directly to help with socializing.
At eight o’clock, Jin Baiyan would drive over to take Ziyi to the estate where the ceremony was being held.
So at this moment, besides Liu Minjun and Ziyi, there were only servants left in the old house.
Therefore, when Liu Minjun cheerfully led Ziyi out the door and saw the figure appearing in the living room, she involuntarily gasped.
Afraid of stepping on her dress, Ziyi kept her head down, focusing on the path.
Hearing Liu Minjun’s gasp, she raised her head in surprise: "Mom, what’s wrong?"
Liu Minjun’s gaze still fell downstairs, her expression becoming somewhat stiff.
Ziyi followed her gaze in confusion, and the next moment, she met a pair of profound light blue eyes.
Ziyi instantly froze.
Time seemed to stop at that moment, even the servants dared not breathe heavily.
Ziyi stared at him, for a moment thinking she was dreaming.
The man seemed to have lost a lot of weight, his face was pale with an aristocratic air, his handsome features became even more pronounced.
He slightly raised his head, quietly gazing at her, his deep eyes holding untold emotions.
Ziyi couldn’t understand.
Yet she couldn’t look away.
Until Liu Minjun gently tugged her, Ziyi suddenly lowered her head, avoiding his gaze.
"Let’s go downstairs," Liu Minjun had already regained her composure, she said calmly.
She bit her lip and softly said "Okay."
Liu Minjun held her hand, leading her towards the spiral staircase.
Ziyi focused on the path, keeping her head down.
But she still felt an intense gaze on her, a gaze too intense, making her entire body stiffen.
At this moment, her mind was a whirlwind, unable to find any clarity.
Is it really him?
Why has he come back at this time?
Has he truly returned?
In the living room, Pei Yuanchen’s gaze never wavered from her. It was almost tangible, sweeping over every part of her.
As the bride-to-be, she was clearly meticulously dressed, with black hair, dark eyes, fair skin, and red lips, beautiful like a fairy emerging from a deep forest.
The man’s pupils almost shrank to the extreme.
Then, his gaze fell on her graceful and slender neck, her clear and delicate collarbone, and... her slightly thin shoulders.
Finally, on her full chest and her slender waist that could hardly be gripped.
His Adam’s apple moved several times, his hands at his sides clenched tightly, veins bulging on the back of his hands.
Ziyi finally stepped onto the last step.
She still hadn’t looked up, but her breathing became rapid, her thick eyelashes trembled violently.
Liu Minjun soothingly squeezed Ziyi’s hand, releasing her, and smilingly approached Pei Yuanchen: "Mr. Pei, why have you come? Of course, since you’re here, you’re welcome, but you seem to have mixed up the address, the engagement ceremony isn’t held here."
