Chapter 470: Restarting the Modern Times 23

Dongfang Fufeng sat up straighter, looked at Chao Yao with firm and gentle eyes, then slowly shifted his gaze to his father and two younger brothers.

"Father, Yichen, Yuxuan, I have something important to tell you."

Dongfang Fufeng's voice was steady and powerful, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"I have known Zhaoyao for some time. During this time, I have been touched by her courage, intelligence and kindness. We have been through many ups and downs together. Whether it is hardship or happy times, we have been through it together."

Dongfang Fufeng's eyes were full of affection. He lowered his head slightly towards Yao, with a shy blush on his face.

"I know my feelings very well, and I am sure that Chaoyao is the person I want to spend my life with. So, I want to formally propose to everyone here today that I hope to get engaged to Chaoyao."

Dongfang Fufeng held Chao Yao's hand tightly, as if declaring his determination to the world.

Dongfang Hongyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the young couple in front of him. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Fufeng, are you serious? Marriage is a serious matter, and it should not be taken lightly."

"Father, I am extremely serious. I know what I am doing and I am aware of my responsibilities. I believe that Chaoyao is my lifelong partner." Dongfang Fufeng answered without hesitation.

Dongfang Yichen curled his lips and muttered, "Humph, you decided so quickly, I don't know if you will regret it in the future."

Dongfang Yuxuan smiled and said, "Since Big Brother is so determined, we should naturally support him. Miss Chaoyao is indeed a rare woman."

Dongfang Hongyuan nodded slightly. "Since you have made up your mind, I can't object. Miss Chaoyao, what about you? What do you think of Fufeng's proposal?"

Chao Yao raised his head, his eyes bright and firm, "Uncle, Fu Feng and I are in tune with each other. I am also willing to get engaged to him and face the future together."

Dongfang Hongyuan looked at the two determined people in front of him, with a complicated look in his eyes.

After a moment, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a relieved smile.

"Since you are so determined, I can't stop you. Fufeng, you have grown up and have your own responsibilities and choices. Miss Chaoyao, I believe in you and your feelings. I hope you can cherish this hard-earned fate and walk through the future hand in hand." Dongfang Hongyuan said earnestly.

He clapped his hands gently, and the old butler immediately understood and turned around to arrange matters.

After a while, the old butler returned with a group of servants, holding exquisite gift boxes in their hands.

"Fufeng, Chaoyao, since you have decided to get engaged, our Dongfang family cannot lose our manners. These are the engagement gifts prepared for you, I hope you like them." Dongfang Hongyuan signaled the servants to present the gifts.

The gift boxes were opened one by one, revealing dazzling jewellery, precious antique calligraphy and paintings, as well as some auspicious objects with good meanings.

Chaoyao looked at these gifts and felt touched.

"Thank you uncle."

"Thank you, Dad."

Chao Yao and Dongfang Fufeng said in unison.

Dongfang Hongyuan waved his hand, "You are a family, so you don't have to be polite. From now on, you have to work harder for your future and for the glory of the Dongfang family. I will have someone prepare for the engagement ceremony as soon as possible, and make sure it is grand and decent."

Dongfang Fufeng held Chao Yao's hand tightly, his eyes full of joy and anticipation.

Dongfang Yichen looked at his elder brother and Chao Yao. Although he was still mumbling, a hint of blessing flashed in his eyes.

He cleared his throat and said, "Humph, now that it's decided, don't let me see Big Brother bullying Chao Yao in the future, or I won't let him off."

Dongfang Yuxuan kept smiling. He clapped his hands and said, "Congratulations, brother and Chaoyao. May your love be as bright and eternal as these precious gifts. I believe your engagement ceremony will surely become the focus of everyone's attention."

The old butler stood aside, with a gratified smile on his face. He bowed slightly and said, "Master, Miss Chaoyao, I am happy to see you so happy. I believe that under the arrangement of the master, the engagement ceremony will be extremely grand."

The servants also showed happy expressions. They whispered to each other, their eyes full of blessings for the newlyweds.

At this moment, the entire Dongfang family's old house was immersed in joy and anticipation, as if they could already see the upcoming grand engagement ceremony, and the beautiful picture of Dongfang Fufeng and Chao Yao walking towards a happy future hand in hand.

The day before the engagement, the Dongfang family's old house was filled with a tense yet joyful atmosphere.

Dongfang Hongyuan called Chao Yao to the study, his expression was kind but with a hint of concern.

"Chaoyao, tomorrow is your engagement day with Fufeng. I would like to ask, is there anything about your family that we need to pay special attention to? Or do they have any special requirements?" Dongfang Hongyuan asked softly.

Chao Yao was slightly stunned, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

She bit her lip lightly and said slowly, "Uncle, to be honest, my family... they are not in this world. I have been on my own since I was young, and I have never had too many concerns about my family."

Dongfang Hongyuan frowned slightly, with a hint of heartache in his eyes.

"Poor child, the Dongfang family will be your home from now on. Don't worry, we will definitely treat you well and let you feel the warmth of home."

Chaoyao was touched and bowed slightly, "Thank you, uncle. I believe that with you, Fufeng, Yichen and Yuxuan, I will be very happy."

Dongfang Hongyuan nodded slightly, "In that case, we must make this engagement ceremony a success. Let everyone know that you, Chaoyao, are someone that our Dongfang family cherishes."

Of course he checked Chao Yao, but apart from the information given by Dongfang Fufeng, he could not find anything else.

But it doesn’t matter. Anyone who can enter the Special Affairs Bureau must have been thoroughly investigated.

The nature of the unit she works for determines that it is unlikely that this person would do something wrong.
