The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s-Chapter 1761: Engagement Banquet (13)
Inside, there was a princess crown so dazzling it could almost blind someone.
"Is it real?" Jiaojiao asked, looking at the sparkling crown.
Ruan Hao nodded, took out the crown, and said, "The red gem in the center represents Jiaojiao, and the nine diamonds beside it represent the brothers. No matter if Jiaojiao gets married or goes anywhere, don’t be afraid. The brothers will always protect you like this crown."
As soon as Ruan Hao finished speaking, the crown was carefully placed on her head. He and Ruan Jun both took a few steps back, and the nine of them stood in three rows, as if they had rehearsed it beforehand. They all slightly bent towards her, reaching out with an inviting gesture.
"Our little princess, which brother’s hand do you want to hold?" Ruan Chi, third in line, stood in the first row, speaking up before Ruan Hao and Ruan Jun.
Although the other brothers didn’t speak, they all looked at her with doting eyes, waiting for her to put her hand up.
Jiaojiao looked at her brothers, all moving in unison, feeling the heavy affection above her head. Her eyes couldn’t help but get wet. She was moved but also troubled, as she liked every brother, and it felt wrong to choose any particular one.
Just as she was pondering what to do, Lu Zishu’s loud voice suddenly sounded from outside: "Wait, wait! What about us!"
Jiaojiao looked over and saw him and Lu Xian coming over in the same outfit.
"Okay, now you can choose," Lu Zishu squeezed in forcefully, and after standing in position, he made an inviting gesture just like those in front, smiling cheekily.
Jiaojiao’s gaze swept over the eleven brothers, feeling increasingly helpless. Finally, she noticed Grandpa standing at the door, immediately beaming through her tears, "I want to walk with Grandpa."
Grandpa, who had been squeezed out by these dozen young men, brightened up instantly upon hearing this.
Immediately, he wielded his cane to shoo them away: "Move over, move over!"
The brothers didn’t expect to be outdone by an old man and helplessly looked at each other. In the end, they had to move aside, making a path. Jiaojiao walked to the door under their gaze and took Grandpa’s arm.
Grandpa, now escorted, was very pleased. Just moments ago, he was sulking from feeling disliked by his grandson, but Jiaojiao’s actions quickly healed him.
On the other side, the hotel lobby was already filled with guests. Duan Qianyang, along with Duan Xi, had just stepped out of the private room. Seeing Duan Xin dressed and ready, they said, "Xiaoxin, you and your cousin go escort Jiaojiao to the lobby. The guests are almost all here."
It’s only an engagement, not a wedding, so normally there wouldn’t be a need for bridesmaids or groomsmen. The Duan family had Duan Xin and Duan Xi escort Jiaojiao out to show all the guests how much they valued this engagement party.
Duan Xin nodded, feeling both nervous and excited as it was his first time with such a task. Wearing a similar suit to Duan Xi, he swiped his hair a few times with a certain swagger. As he passed through the hotel lobby, he noticed many women looking his way, thinking he must look incredibly handsome, and couldn’t help but float as he walked.
