In Chao mansion the preparation for the engagement are going on. Interior designers were called to decorate the engagement hall in the mansion. Both Mr Chao and Mrs Chao is very happy. Shi is also helping in decorating . Everyone in the mansion were busy in arrangements.

But Ka Sou nowhere to be found. Mrs Chao asked Shi if he saw his brother but Shi shake his head. Shi then tried call him but his phone is switch off. His mom was worried for Ka Sou because he haven't returned home from yesterday. Shi thought may be his brother is with Li Luo and spend the night together. With that thought somewhere pain in his heart. He decided to wait for them to arrive .

Li Lou and Yanda were beautifully dressed. Li Luo is looking very gorgeous in her outfit.

" Woah Li Luo.. if I were a boy I would have snatch you from that heartless right now....you looking so beautiful." Yanda teased Li Luo winking her right eye.

Li Luo just pinch her nose and said "Yanda! If you were a boy I would have been your wife by now and Ka Sou had been beaten up several times by you." Both of them laugh.

After sometime a car from the Chao mansion arrived to pick both Yanda and Li Lou. They reached the mansion within an hour.

Shi was trying to call Ka Sou from the garden just then he saw Li Luo coming out from the car. His eyes couldn't take off from her. She is looking very beautiful he thought but he stopped looking at her when Yanda call out his name waving her hand.

" Heyyy Shi...Why you standing there? Come here and help us take this stuff inside." Yanda said pointing towards the boxes.

Shi came to help them . He placed the boxes of sweets and fruits near Li Lou. While Li Luo was trying call Ka Sou didn't notice the boxes below and bumped the boxes. She was about to fall but Shi hold her in his arms. They both look at each other eyes ..I wish if this time have waited and you in my arms forever like this. Li Luo I love you so much wish if this engagement was between you and mine... Shi thought in his mind.

(Just imagine Ying Kong Shi and Li Luo in their modern attire in this pose. I edited this pic of ying though😜)

Li Luo on the other hand was feeling very warm and comfortable at the touch of Shi which she never felt same with Ka Sou. She can't understand it why. ... What is this strange feeling all of a sudden... She questioned herself.

Yanda who was looking everything she smirked. Nothing can escape from her eyes when it's related to her best friend. She made a fake cough to bring them in reality. * Cough* *Cough* .

Both Shi and Li Lou distance from each other. Shi looked at Yanda and gave her an smile awkwardly then walk inside the mansion. It seems I really have to talk with Shi something really fishy going on in his mind ... Yanda thought.

All guest start coming in the mansion but Ka Sou still nowhere to be found. Everyone keep trying to call Ka Sou but his phone is still switch off. They became worried. Shi thought to ask Li Luo if she knows where his Ge is.

"Li Luo...did my brother said anything where and when he will come for the engagement." He asked her in hasitation.

"No.. yesterday in the cafe right after you left a call came and he said need to go then he left the cafe after that. He didn't say anything to us where he is going. I tried to call him several times from yesterday but his phone is switch off till now." Li Luo said looking worriedly to Shi.

Shi somewhere feel relaxed that Li Luo and his brother were not together whole night. But he now again became worried that where his brother staying whole night and haven't returned till now. Engagement time is also getting close.

Guests were busy in talking while waiting for the engagement. Unaware of the unwanted worries surrounding in the Chao mansion.

Engagement time crossed. Li Luo became very tense and confused. She hold Yanda hands tightly. Yanda also fuming over Ka Sou for making her best friend worried and not coming in time for the engagement.

Shi in order to divert guest attention as some guest already started backbikering about the engagement he announced the guest to have the meal first . Shi then again call Ka Sou but this time his phone rings. He pick the call this time.

" Ge where are you... Do you know today is your engagement and we all are waiting for you.... Why your phone is switch off from yesterday night" Shi asked in anger.

" I will reach home in an hour " saying so Ka Sou ended the call.

" An hour... What's wrong with Ge... Does he really want to get engaged or not " Shi said " and now how I handle this crowd for an hour." He pressed his hands on his forehead.

Guest we're done eating the food but still the engagement haven't progressed . They began to backbiker about Li Luo. Some even taunt Li Luo which Li Luo can hear it clearly hurting her heart.

After an hour Ka Sou came inside. Li Luo run to him and cried. " Where was you Ka Sou... You know how much I was worried for you . Why you switch off your phone" Li Luo said holding his hand.

Ka Sou let go his hand from her which shocked Li Luo and went near his dad ." Dad I can't do this engagement" Everyone looked at him with surprised.

(Imagine the pose in this scene in modern attire of Ka Sou and Li Luo😜)

" What do you mean can't do this Engagement.. and why?" Mr Chao asked him in angry tone.

" Dad.. I..I can't do this engagement because..." He looked down.

" Spill out now why Ka Sou.. we all are waiting for your answer" Mr Chao angrily shout at Ka Sou.

" D..Dad.. I can't cause I'm already married to someone. " He said looking down.

Everyone was shocked at what Ka Sou said. Li Luo is almost faint but Yanda hold her.

"What you mean by already married and with whom say it all in detail " Mr Chao gritted his teeth in anger.

" He is married with me " everyone looked back to know whose voice is it.

"I'm Lan Shang ... Daughter of Huo Yi now legally married with Ka Sou. I'm his wife now . And so there is no question of him getting engaged with that girl." Lan Shang said looking at Li Luo giving her a evil smirk.
