Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

Afterwards, she let down the remaining half of Qianqian's hair, which fell like a waterfall, soft and smooth, gently brushing against Qianqian's back, as if a spirit in winter, exuding a captivating charm.

Finally, Mantou draped a pure white, half-length fluffy jacket over Qianqian.

The material of this jacket was soft and comfortable, its fluffy texture making one unable to resist wanting to draw close.

The white jacket complemented the peach-pink Rujun, making Qianqian look both pure and adorable, like a winter spirit, playful yet elegant.

Mantou was quite confident in her skills! Having just finished dressing Qianqian, she could no longer contain her excitement and began to boast: "Miss is truly too beautiful! Simply a fairy descended to the mortal world!"

Upon hearing this, Qianqian couldn't help but blush, but her heart felt sweet as if she had eaten honey. She softly replied: "Mantou's skills are still the best!"

While gazing carefully at herself in the bronze mirror. She saw the person in the mirror with curved willow brows, flowing eyes, a face like peach blossoms, lips red without rouge, and dressed in peach-pink attire, appearing even more fresh, ethereal, gentle, and moving.

The more Qianqian looked, the more she liked it, unable to resist turning a few circles before the mirror, immensely delighted.

Simultaneously, the An Wangfu was also a scene of bustling activity. The servants in the fu were busily and enthusiastically preparing for the evening's arrival.

As the sky grew late, An Wang and Yan Wang finally came out of the palace and returned home together. Upon entering the house, they went straight to their respective courtyards to tidy themselves up properly. An Wang changed into a magnificent jin robe, with a gem-studded belt at his waist;

Yan Wang chose a white robe, appearing refined and scholarly.

As for the others, An Wangfei naturally would not fall behind. She not only carefully selected several exquisite pieces of jewelry to wear on her head, but also specially wore several more gold hairpins, adorning herself magnificently and radiantly.

Despite the numerous ornaments on her body, because An Wangfei was naturally beautiful, these decorations not only failed to conceal her beauty, but instead added luster to it.

Not long after, night completely enveloped the earth, and the entire Kyoto became lively.

Qianqian instructed Hua Hua to go pick up Ouyang Chengren, after all Hua Hua had been there before and knew the way better.

Thus, Hua Hua drove a magnificently decorated carriage and set out. When she reached the residence's entrance, she discovered Ouyang Chengren had already been waiting for a long time.

It turned out that Ouyang Chengren, knowing he was going to Qianqian's home for dinner tonight, had made full preparations in advance.

As soon as Hua Hua's carriage arrived, he eagerly boarded it. Then, the carriage sped toward An Wangfu.

Qianqian had already been standing at the gate for a long time. Since An Wangfu was closer to her residence, she had been waiting at An Wangfu's gate since Hua Hua left. Before long, gazing into the distance, a magnificently decorated carriage was speeding toward this side.

Ouyang Chengren inside the carriage felt exceptionally uneasy, constantly encouraging himself to calm the turmoil in his heart.

You must know, he had spent over thirty springs and autumns alone, and a situation like this was no different from a young lady's first sedan chair ride — also a first for him.

He took a deep breath, his mind repeatedly pondering how to handle everyone's rapid-fire questions later.

Finally, the carriage slowly stopped, and a clear, pleasant voice, melodious like an oriole leaving the valley, reached his ears: "Get down quickly! My father and mother are waiting for you in the Shantang right now."

"Alright." Ouyang Chengren replied softly, then stepped down from the carriage. Looking up, he saw a dashing young master in magnificent brocade clothes, of noble bearing, come into view.

His long, distinct fingers lightly lifted the carriage curtain, and his figure, agile as a swallow, landed lightly on the ground, his movements clean and agile as he descended from the carriage.

Seeing this, Qianqian hurried forward, first approaching Ouyang Chengren to carefully examine his clothing, confirming there were no flaws, then personally straightening his outer white cloak, before softly saying: "Let's go."

Ouyang Chengren nodded in acknowledgment, indicating he understood, and immediately followed closely behind Qianqian, walking together toward the Shantang.

Several servants followed closely behind, having evidently received Hua Hua's instructions, and swiftly moved to carry the items.

These were all gifts Qianqian had meticulously prepared and specially purchased, after all, she knew her own parents' preferences, so she personally bought a large pile of things, with a share for everyone.

Because Ouyang Chengren was visiting for the first time, arriving empty-handed would be quite unjustifiable.

Thus, the servants rushed without stopping to move that large pile of things into the Front Hall.

Simultaneously, Qianqian and Ouyang Chengren walked together toward the Shantang.

At this moment, the busy servants in the courtyard, seeing this tall, magnificently dressed young master with a stern face, couldn't help but stop their work one after another and bow to him: "Miss! Young Master!"

Many also couldn't resist secretly sizing up Ouyang Chengren, speculating in their hearts just what kind of figure he was to have won their Miss's heart so completely.

When Ouyang Chengren passed by them, they praised in their hearts — wow, Miss's vision is truly unique! Just standing together, the two of them looked like a perfect match, a stunning pair, dazzling to the eye.

Qianqian chattered non-stop to Ouyang Chengren along the way: "You must not be afraid! My mother is very easy to get along with, she dotes on me especially, so she will definitely be very kind to you;

As for my father, although he looks a bit fierce, he's actually quite amiable~

Also, my two elder brothers and younger brother will all be at home today! Especially my Second Brother, he also dotes on me a lot! As for my Second Sister-in-law, she already knows about our matter, she will definitely stand on our side and speak for us! So, you must not be too nervous……"

Just like that, Qianqian prattled on endlessly by herself. Ouyang Chengren, however, listened with full concentration and rapt attention the entire time, not daring the slightest slackness.

Not long after, Qianqian closed her mouth and fell silent — it turned out they had already arrived at the Shantang entrance.

Qianqian took the lead to step inside and shouted loudly: "Father, Mother, I've brought the person, this is your daughter's sweetheart — Ouyang Chengren!" Before her voice fell, Ouyang Chengren followed closely, lifting his feet and stepping steadily across the threshold.

At this very moment, everyone dining in the Shantang was startled upon hearing this name.

The most intense reaction belonged to An Wang and Yan Wang, the two of them almost simultaneously springing up from their seats with a 'whoosh';

Simultaneously, the gazes of the others also converged on Ouyang Chenren without prior agreement.

For a moment, the entire Shantang fell into a silence.
