On top of the cake was a chibi girl with long hair, wearing a white wedding dress. Her eyes sparkled, and on closer inspection, her facial features actually bore a faint resemblance to Lu Xue.
Lu Xue was taken aback for a moment and looked at the host, who then began to speak.
"Today is Miss Lu Xue's birthday. So we've prepared this cake on-site for you, hoping you can spend this unforgettable birthday party with your fans."
Everyone began to cheer. Lu Xue was a bit at a loss. Since childhood, she hadn't really celebrated her birthday much, let alone in such a grand way.
She stood there in a daze for a long time. The host nudged her and said, "Miss Lu Xue, it's time for you to cut the cake!"
Embarrassed by the crowd's cheering, Lu Xue slowly walked over, took off the little girl in the wedding dress on top, and was about to cut the cake.
Only after removing the little girl did she notice that there was a square velvet box at the bottom.
Before this, she had always thought the box was just a prop for the little girl to stand on. It was only when she clearly saw the letter logo on the box that she felt a bit surprised.
The host motioned for Lu Xue to open the box. Lu Xue reached out her hand blankly and opened it. A brilliant light shone out from the box.
The diamond ring in the middle glistened brightly under the lights. Suddenly, everyone behind her shouted in unison.
"Get together! Get together!"
Lu Xue held the velvet box in her hand, and her fingers began to tremble slightly. When she looked up, she found that Mu Yuze, who should have been in City A, was actually at the ceremony of the event, walking towards her from afar.
He walked right up to Lu Xue, gently wrapped the girl in his arms, and whispered, "Will you marry me?"
Caught off guard by the crowd's cheering, Lu Xue felt her whole face burning hot.
She glanced at the audience shouting in unison outside and couldn't help but have a doubt in her mind.
Could these audience members have been rehearsed by the host in advance to know about the ceremony? Could she be the only one at the whole scene who was kept in the dark?
She was just about to grab Mu Yuze and ask him why he was putting her on the spot in such a public place, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she felt her voice choke slightly.
Lu Xue was so annoyed that she gritted her teeth and whispered in a voice only audible to the two of them, "Didn't we agree to take things slow? Didn't we agree to accompany each other day after day?"
Mu Yuze replied with an "um" and said, "We can get the marriage certificate first and then take things slow. It's the same."
Saying this, he took a few steps back, knelt down on one knee in front of Lu Xue, and looked at her with gentle eyes.
"I once heard you say that you've never celebrated your birthday and have always grown up in a wandering environment. I've always hoped to make up for this regret in your heart. And today is your birthday. I hope to give you a promise, letting you know that I'll take care of you for the rest of your life."
His eyes were so gentle that Lu Xue felt almost exposed under such a gaze.
Her ears turned red and redder, and she could only mutter softly.
"This is indeed an impressive birthday party."
Mu Yuze stared into her eyes and asked, "So, will you agree to marry me?"
The host led the crowd in cheering, and everyone also cheered. All the lights shone on the two of them, and the cameras of the media reporters clicked away, taking countless close - ups of them.
But at this moment, Lu Xue only felt as if she was surrounded by the sweet and joyful atmosphere, and the whole time and space seemed to be spinning.
She broke into a smile through her tears and finally nodded.
Mu Yuze let out a sigh of relief and then gave her a hug.
The picture of the two embracing under the lights that day became the front - page picture of many media outlets. Everyone was congratulating the new couple on their upcoming wedding.
Mu Ziyue watched the video of the event that day online and was almost moved to tears by her own brother.
Wiping her tears, she replayed the video several times. With tear - filled eyes, she said to Mu Yuze beside her.
"Brother, I never knew you had such a sentimental side! It's really not easy! You've been single for most of your life, and now you finally have a wife. You must treat Lu Xue well!"
Mu Yuze just looked at her calmly without saying a word. His fingers were tapping on the laptop keyboard as he was looking for a suitable honeymoon destination.
Mu Ziyue leaned over again and asked, "Brother, can I plan your wedding? I've fantasized about what my own wedding should be like since I was a child. Now I can put all these ideas into your and sister - in - law's wedding."
Mu Yuze glanced at her, and his eyes clearly showed rejection.
Seeing her brother's cold face, Mu Ziyue was very unhappy and ran upstairs to find Lu Xue.
Compared to Mu Yuze's cold - faced attitude, Lu Xue was much gentler.
After just a few words, she was persuaded by Mu Ziyue and agreed to let Mu Ziyue plan the wedding scene.
So, one month later, a ridiculous scene occurred at the wedding banquet.
"Where are the white doves! Where are the white doves? Didn't I say there must be white doves at the wedding scene?"
Mu Ziyue roared at the on - site staff, "I've said that the moment the wedding march starts, a flock of white doves must be released to fly onto the roof of the church! Why, just before the start, I haven't even seen a single sparrow? What have you all been doing!!"
"And where are the big roses I asked for? I don't want lilies! On such a crucial backdrop, so many white flowers look so ugly! They can't set off the effect I want at all, okay? Hurry up and change them all!"
"What? You're telling me there's no time to change? I don't care how far you have to drive a truck from. I want to see big roses lining both sides of this corridor within fifteen minutes!"
Mu Ziyue was almost going crazy. She grabbed her messy hair and ran back and forth on the site.
Just before the start, she found that the photographer and makeup artist had let her down and were still on their way.
The costume designer had brought the wrong bridesmaid dresses due to a lack of prior communication.
Moreover, the guys who were setting up the venue had completely messed up the beautiful picture she had envisioned. Everything was not as she had hoped.
The most crucial thing was that the wedding march would start soon, and the bride and groom would exchange rings.
Mu Ziyue let out a scream in her heart like a marmot: "What should I do? What should I do? What should I do? I can't ruin my brother and sister - in - law's wedding like this!"
Backstage, Lu Xue finished her makeup and glanced at Mu Yuze beside her, who was wearing a suit and smiling so gently.
She casually glanced at Mu Ziyue, who was in a complete mess outside, and softly said, "Do you want to go and help your sister? I think she seems quite overwhelmed."
Mu Ziyue shook her head and, looking like he was watching a good show, gently said, "It's okay. Let her be busy! She was the one who strongly wanted to handle all the details of the wedding herself. Now it's time for her to take responsibility."
Compared to Mu Ziyue, who was on the verge of emotional collapse outside, the bride and groom in the room were quite calm. They even talked about the weather today.
When it was almost time for the wedding, Mu Yuze had to go to another room to wait.
Before leaving, he tucked Lu Xue's hair behind her ear and then reluctantly placed a gentle kiss on her cheek.
Lu Xue urged, "Hurry up. If you don't show up, Mu Ziyue will probably go crazy again."
Mu Yuze then left with a smile.
The wedding march played as scheduled, but the final effect was far from what Mu Ziyue had imagined.
She was crazy about the wrong rhythm of the music and the fact that the lights on top of her head didn't follow the two of them as she had expected.
All the details were so different that she almost covered her ears and screamed.
But Mu Yuze and Lu Xue didn't really care. Even when the music suddenly stopped halfway and the lights couldn't find the right angle.
The two walked onto the stage as if no one else was around. Regardless of which part of the process they were at, they exchanged rings under the lights on their own.
Thunderous applause erupted from the audience below. The two exchanged a gentle look in the midst of everyone's blessings.
