There weren't many people at the banquet. Only the Tao family, the Zhuang family, and some of their more important relatives were there. They all tacitly didn't mention what happened during the day.
Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu sat together. They were eating the cake that they had ordered for lunch. It seemed that they were not affected by what had happened during the day as well.
Tan Rou's parents and Zhuang Liu's parents watched them as they ate. They wanted to see if Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu were affected. After all, this was the engagement party that they had prepared for a long time.
Tan Rou sensed the gazes of both parents. She then quietly said to Zhuang Liu, who was beside her, "Ah Liu, our parents are struggling to decide. They must want to comfort us, but they're afraid that they'll make us sad."
Zhuang Liu sighed. "I'm quite sad too. I wanted to give you an unforgettable engagement ceremony, but I didn't expect it to cause such a consequence."
