Chapter 157: Looking Forward to the Engagement Ceremony

"Engagement, huh... I guess it's okay," Old Pansy laughed heartily and then instructed Maurice, "Maurice, go get the Chinese almanac."

Flipping through the almanac, Old Pansy put on his reading glasses and carefully studied it for a few minutes before looking up at Patrick and Jane. "The 18th of this month is an auspicious day according to the Chinese zodiac. It would be a good day for your engagement ceremony."

"The 18th? Isn't that too rushed?" Jane was somewhat speechless. Today was already the 10th, so there were only eight days left. Wasn't that too hasty? She didn't even have enough time to design her own dress.

Patrick's deep gaze turned towards Jane as he reached out and directly embraced her. In a clear tone of voice he said, "It's not rushed at all. You don't need to prepare anything; I will give you a grand engagement ceremony when the time comes. All you have to do is wait to be beautiful as my bride."

Looking at her grandson and Jane's affectionate appearance, Old Pansy nodded in satisfaction. "Then it's settled."

Jane was somewhat speechless... what do you mean 'settled'? She hadn't agreed yet.

The men of the Pansy family were really domineering one after another.

"Grandfather, I will continue to send people to keep an eye on Winston," Patrick suddenly remembered something as he spoke up again: "Morton has found the pilot who crashed into sea after falling from our plane; unfortunately they suffered injuries during their fall so they can't remember anything about that day."

"I see," Old Pansy frowned slightly: "Let's arrange for him to receive treatment from our best doctor."

"I've already arranged it," Patrick replied coldly with clear eyes: "Grandfather Winston can imprison you with madness or tamper with my plane trying harm me or even cause my father's death…all are related him."

Old Pansy narrowed his eyes slightly as a complex expression flashed across them: "Don't jump into conclusions without solid evidence first; I really don't want it to be Winston."

After all, Winston had been raised by him since childhood, and his father had done him favors back then-even sacrificing himself in order save him. Old pansy adopted Winston because of this reason. He really didn't want believe that Winston had ulterior motives.

"I understand grandfather," Patrick replied calmly.

News spread quickly about Patrick and Jane's engagement plans becoming hot topic online instantly topping search engines everywhere. The comments below were also unprecedentedly enthusiastic with many expressing their congratulations:

"Mr. Patrick and Miss Jane are finally getting engaged!"

"Mr. Patrick and Miss Jane, the best couple, congratulations to them!"

"The heartthrob is getting engaged. Envy, jealousy, hate... just kidding! Congratulations to Mr. Patrick and Miss Jane!"

There were also many negative comments about Jane:

"Jane is a country bumpkin. What does she have that's worthy of Mr. Patrick?"

"Jane is a promiscuous woman who can't make up her mind between two men. Don't be fooled by her, Mr. Patrick!"

In the Pansy Group CEO office,

Patrick sat in his chair, his slender fingers swiping through his phone screen as he saw those negative comments about Jane furrowing his brows.

He called Morton over and said in a deep voice,"Go delete all those negative news."

Morton respectfully replied,"Yes sir."

At Allure Bar with flickering lights,

In the dressing room, a young girl wearing a white dress looked down at her phone with no expression on her face as she stared at the large photo of Patrick and Jane.

"Angel, why haven't you put on your makeup yet? The performance starts in half an hour." Angel's companion Alice reminded her when she saw Angel staring at her phone screen without blinking.

All female singers at the bar used English names including Angel whose real name was Candice Dillon.

Candice lifted her head slightly and glanced coldly at Alice before replying,"I know." NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

"What are you looking at?" Curious Alice leaned over,

After seeing news about Patrick and Jane's upcoming engagement ceremony, Alice exclaimed enviously,"Angel, you're interested in them too? I heard they're getting engaged soon."

"So what?" Candice snorted disdainfully.

Alice sighed admiringly,"Jane can marry such an outstanding man like Patrick; she must be the happiest woman in the world!"

A glint of coldness flashed across Candice's eyes as she replied icily,"Not for long."

Before they knew it, the day of Jane and Patrick's engagement ceremony arrived on 18th .

Patrick woke up early that day. He knocked on Janes door "Are you awake yet, Jane?"

"Mm-hmm", Jane opened the door "You're up so early".

"It's a very special day today. You didn't forget, right?", Patrick smiled tenderly with hidden meaning behind his words.

Rubbing her hair, Jane replied "I know. But now... it's still too early".

In front of him, the woman with sleepy eyes had long hair that flowed down her shoulders, exuding a lazy charm. Patrick's deep gaze couldn't help but reach out and embrace her slender waist, pulling her into his arms.

Before Jane could react, Patrick's scorching kiss had already descended upon her like a storm...

"Okay," Jane said as she pushed away from the man who was holding her tightly. Her chest heaved up and down as she thought for a moment before continuing, "I won't go to work today. I'll rest at home in the morning and then Nana and I will go get our hair done in the afternoon."

"I'll come with you," Patrick said as he pulled her back into his embrace and planted a kiss on her forehead.

Did this man have to be so clingy?

Jane's body couldn't help but tremble slightly as she gently pushed him away. "No need. Nana will be there with me. Don't you still have work to do?"

"But I want to be with you," Patrick pursed his lips.

On this special day, which was so important to them both, Patrick didn't want to spend even one moment apart from his beloved fiancée.

"How about this? I'll call you after my appointment later today and then you can come pick me up." Jane thought for a moment before speaking again.

She knew that Patrick was a workaholic; after Winston's incident at Pansy Group recently it had affected things somewhat so now more than ever he needed to put more effort into it all.

Seeing that Jane was insistent on going alone, Patrick quickly kissed her cheek before speaking in his low voice filled with emotion: "Alright then... I'll listen to my wife."

"Who is your wife? You're shameless!" The nickname made Jane blush furiously.

Seeing how red-faced she looked now only made him smile even wider: "Okay okay... I'm off to work now. Remember to call me later when your appointment is over."

Tonight would make their love official in front of everyone else - making Jane the happiest woman in the world while also making everyone else envious of them both...

He really looked forward tonight's engagement ceremony!
