Sharing Dreams with My Bestie’s Cousin

Chapter 168: Get married next spring Chapter 168: Get married next spring Zhou Family arranged seating according to one’s social status.

It was only after Wen Zhi sat down that she realized this table was filled with significant figures from the city, all around their forties and fifties. Some had brought their wives, while others, who had lost their spouses early on and remained unmarried despite having lovers, knew that such companions couldn’t be presented in this setting.

Wen Zhi was the youngest, and also the only one who had the rare privilege of attending as Shang Hexing’s girlfriend.

Everyone present was well aware that Wen Zhi normally would be seated at a different table. Since Shang Hexing brought her to the main table, it was a clear indication that she was the one he intended to marry!

Therefore, it didn’t take long for two noblewomen to start a conversation with Wen Zhi.

They were especially gentle and lively in their conversation. Wen Zhi, not often exposed to such grand social situations, managed to maintain an outward calm, but she felt somewhat anxious inside.

Shang Hexing noticed, and tightly clasped her hand under the table, leaning in a bit closer he said, “Just treat it like a normal banquet and don’t be too hard on yourself.”

Wen Zhi smiled and whispered a reply that only Shang Hexing could hear, “That would be easier if this were truly a ‘normal banquet’.”

Shang Hexing couldn’t help but chuckle, “Nervous?”

Wen Zhi immediately responded, “Not at all.”

Shang Hexing reminded her, “Do you understand what it means for me to bring you to this table?”

Wen Zhi’s eyes twinkled and her eyelids fluttered as she looked at him quietly.

He said, “It’s to let everyone know that I plan to marry you.”
