Chapter 1526 - 1525: Fang Rongrong's Engagement (Seventh Update)

During the joyous celebrations of the Sun and Moon Divine Alliance, the Fang Family is also filled with joy!

Following the recent war, the Cheng Family suffered heavy losses, and thus urgently needs a marriage alliance to secure their status!

Previously, Fang Rongrong agreed to marry Cheng Batian to save Lin Bai. After Cheng Batian was rescued, he rested for a day, and then Cheng Qingshan took him to the Fang Family to discuss the marriage with Fang Rongrong!

The Fang Family is very pleased with this marriage alliance. To avoid any delays, it was promptly set for the eighth day of the month. In Huaxia culture, people like auspicious occasions, and the eighth day in the lunar calendar marks a very favorable day!

And today is precisely the eighth day!

At this time, the Fang Family's home is brightly decorated and full of festive spirit!

At the entrance of the villa, a long red carpet stretches to the courtyard gate, a truly extravagant display!

However, this joyful day appears somewhat quiet, not many spectators are present, as most people have gone to the Sun and Moon Divine Alliance!

Nonetheless, some indigenous powers and strong individuals from Demon Island do not dare to disrespect the Fang Family and come to offer their congratulations!

"Screech~"

Just then, with the sound of brakes, a car stops at the villa's entrance!

The driver quickly jumps out of the car and opens the rear door!

Stepping out of the car is a charming woman wearing a qipao, accentuating her delicate figure perfectly!

On Demon Island, only Liu Yu can wear a qipao so elegantly!

Seeing Liu Yu, the Fang Family's butler at the door hurries forward and says with a smile, "Miss Liu, welcome!"

Liu Yu calmly nods and then hands over her gift box, which the butler takes and passes to the staff behind him!

"Miss Liu, please come in!" the butler promptly gestures invitingly!

"Where is Rongrong?" Liu Yu asks!

"The young lady is in her room!" the butler responds.

"Alright! You continue with your work, I'll go see Rongrong!"

With that, Liu Yu walks into the villa, familiar with the way, she goes to the second floor and arrives at Fang Rongrong's room!

At this time, a big "Double Happiness" character is posted on the redwood door, a Huaxia tradition!

After Liu Yu knocks on the door, it is soon opened by a maid attending to Fang Rongrong!

Upon seeing Liu Yu, the maid respectfully greets, "Miss Liu!"

Liu Yu nods and walks into the room!

Fang Rongrong is sitting on the soft bed while two maids are helping her with makeup and dressing up!

However, Fang Rongrong's face shows no joy, but rather a hint of loneliness, not at all like a bride-to-be!

On Demon Island, there are no wedding gowns. Girls wear red with embroidered golden phoenix qipao for marriage!

After getting dressed, Fang Rongrong looks very charming. Though she doesn't wear a qipao with as much flair as Liu Yu, her beautiful face adds charm to her appearance, making her a real beauty!

Seeing Liu Yu, Fang Rongrong immediately says to the maids, "Please leave the room!"

"Yes, miss!"

The three maids nod and leave, closing the door behind them!

Liu Yu approaches Fang Rongrong, gazes at her charming face, and smiles, "Rongrong, after knowing you for so long, today you're at your most beautiful!"

"But I'm still far from being as beautiful as you, Yu!" Fang Rongrong humbly remarks, but her smile seems forced!

Liu Yu, seeing this, lets out a deep sigh, sits next to Fang Rongrong, and asks, "Rongrong, are you really ready to marry Cheng Batian?"

Mentioning this, Fang Rongrong's heart fills with sadness, and the long-suppressed tears finally roll down her cheeks as she quietly sobs!

Liu Yu, deeply touched by Fang Rongrong's plight, gently hugs her shoulders, saying, "Rongrong, if you don't want to marry, why force yourself?"

"I've already promised Cheng Batian, and if I don't marry, he'll surely trouble Lin Bai again. Lin Bai has already suffered much because of me, and I don't want him to get hurt again!" Fang Rongrong chokes out!

"But Cheng Batian broke his promise and acted against Lin Bai. You have every reason to refuse this marriage!" Liu Yu argues!

"It's too late now. My father has already agreed with the Cheng Family. If I don't marry, my father will be furious, and the Fang Family's reputation will be tarnished. So now I have no choice but to marry him!"

Fang Rongrong speaks with a weary tone, expressing helplessness!

Hearing Fang Rongrong's words, Liu Yu lets out a long sigh, even though she is not Fang Rongrong, she understands her predicament!

All of this is because she loves Lin Bai and doesn't want him to get hurt!

Love is powerful. For love, people can give up dreams, boundaries, and principles!

Liu Yu once tested this, and now Fang Rongrong verifies this truth again!

"When is the Cheng Family coming to fetch you?" Liu Yu asks!

In Huaxia tradition, the groom comes to take the bride to the engagement ceremony at the groom's house!

"In half an hour!" Fang Rongrong says, glancing at the clock on the wall!

"When does the engagement ceremony take place?" Liu Yu continues to ask!

"At about eleven fifty-eight!" Fang Rongrong replies!

Liu Yu checks the time; it's nine o'clock now, leaving nearly three hours until the engagement ceremony!

"Should I inform Lin Bai to give you one last chance?" Liu Yu asks!

Fang Rongrong appears moved by these words but hesitates and says, "Yu, Lin Bai already has someone he likes. I don't want to interfere, I've made up my mind and won't change it. Yu, I hope you can keep this secret for me until my engagement ceremony is over. Please don't tell Lin Bai!"

"But Demon Island is so small, Lin Bai might find out!" Liu Yu says!

"But he doesn't know what time the ceremony is. Once it's over, I'll be officially part of the Cheng family, and my feelings for Lin Bai will end then too!"

As she speaks, large tears continuously fall down her face!

Making this enormous decision, only Fang Rongrong knows the pain in her heart, but she has no choice!
