Forbidden Game: Ruthless CEO, Please Set Me Free

Chapter 541 Engagement (12)

Otherwise, if his grandson really takes the surname Qiao in the future, what if Nancheng and this Qiao Mo harbor resentment against him and refuse to let him see his grandson?So after careful consideration, Mr. Fu still felt he should attend the engagement banquet. Not only to attend, but he also needed to praise Qiao Mo to the skies.

Although it might feel like slapping his own face, for the sake of holding his grandson in the future, he was willing to lose face.

After Mr. Fu finished speaking, it was Mr. Qiao’s turn.

Mr. Qiao had seen a lot of the world, so he didn’t lose his composure. He managed to handle the situation adeptly.

In the end, the stage had become a scene of two old men complimenting each other, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

For this engagement, Fu Nancheng didn’t give a ring.

First, because he had already given one before, and secondly, because the wedding day wasn’t far off.

He feared that frequently giving rings would diminish their significance.

However, according to traditional customs, the Fu family still needed to present betrothal gifts at the engagement banquet. What Qiao Mo didn’t know was that amid today’s chaos, several signatures she signed included Fu Nancheng transferring several of his companies and properties to her name.

Before long, the formalities were mostly concluded.

Qiao Mo took Fu Nancheng’s arm and began to toast among the guests.

Since the banquet was more Western-style, the venue was quite open and relaxed.

Soon, Lu Xiuyuan wheeled Lu Qingxue in front of them. Lu Qingxue held a gift box and handed it to Qiao Mo, "Happy engagement."

Qiao Mo was a bit surprised, looking at Lu Qingxue in her beige long dress, and she smiled slightly, "Thank you."

"Would you like to open it?" Lu Qingxue said softly.

Qiao Mo nodded and started unwrapping the gift right away. Inside was a wooden box, very sophisticated, with English letters on it that Qiao Mo recognized as a well-known brand.

Opening the box, there lay two watches, a pair.

The steel strap design was understated and elegant, with gold edges and dotted with a few diamonds. Once opened, they refracted a dazzling light under the room lights, hard to ignore.

Qiao Mo was slightly stunned, clearly not expecting Lu Qingxue to give them such an expensive gift.

But on second thought, money was the least significant thing to them: "Very beautiful, thank you."

Lu Qingxue smiled gently, "The dials are engraved with the letters of your names, hoping to witness every moment you have together."

She hadn’t realized it until Lu Qingxue mentioned it.

Upon closer inspection, Qiao Mo found several initials on the top of the dials.

The smaller watch bore the initials of Fu Nancheng’s name, while the larger one bore the initials of Qiao Mo’s name, showing careful thought.

After carefully putting away the gifts, Xie Qinghuan came up to offer blessings as well, "Xiao Mo, be happy."

"Thank you." Qiao Mo smiled slightly.

Xie Qinghuan turned to Fu Nancheng, "Treat our Xiao Mo well, remember to cherish what you have taken."

Fu Nancheng’s lips moved slightly, yet he wasn’t angry, "Got it."

Qiao Mo smiled slightly, and mention of this inevitably reminded her of Jiang Jinghao again.

She sighed lightly, without saying anything more.

At that moment, a male waiter hurriedly approached with a high-end gift box: "Miss Qiao, this is an engagement gift for you from someone."

Qiao Mo was taken aback and a bit suspicious, "From who?"

The waiter shook his head, "It was handed over to me by security at the door, I don’t know much else."
