Everyone applauded her bravery and her successful recovery.

"They all visited you while you were still in the hospital. They prayed for your fast recovery."

"I don't deserve this, Chen Linyun." She whispered back.

"Why not? You've done so much for the company. The employees look up to you both due to your hard work and also for your good looks." He winked. "You did so much good, Jinxu, despite your temper."

He poked her gently on the cheek. She pouted. It was cute.

The pout did not linger and was replaced with an almost permanent smile on her face.

One by one the guests approached her and extended well wishes for her.

The family members hugged her – Father and Mother Xue, and even Grampa Xue hugged her tight. She would always be their only princess.

Father Chen also made his way towards the couple and threw a brusque bear hug to her daughter-in-law. Aunty Chen wiped the edge of her eyes and sighed praises for the heavens for saving Xue Jinxu.

She too hugged her.

At some point, Mother Chen, Jiang Ying Yue approached her and hugged her too.

Everyone rejoiced and everyone was in the mood to party. Even Hw.a.n.g Meilin was there and tried to b.u.t.ter up to her Jinxu-Jie. Past grudges had dissipated into thin air.

Xue Jinxu's heartfelt so big and full. "It's so good to feel appreciated. I never thought that these people would come to me to relay their appreciation of my existence. It feels so warm, Chen Linyun…"

The husband squeezed the lady's arm with his right hand. All this time his right arm was wrapped around the missus for protection.

"Is this your idea?" Xue Jinxu asked tenderly.

"Uhm, you can say that." He scratched his head while his face instantaneously turned red. "But all of us contributed an idea or two."

The lady pursed her lips, trying to at least temper her grin. Deep down inside she was giggling. 'It feels so good to be loved by you, Chen Linyun.' She thought while stealing glances at him.

While eating their dinner, he inquired, "Won't we announce our second engagement?"

Xue Jinxu stopped cutting her meat and suspended her utensils in midair. "Chen Linyun, are you sure? Grampa is here too. You know…"

She was hesitant and it was understandable. Grampa Xue had always been against their marriage.

"It's fine. He'd approve of it."

The lady tilted her head questioningly.

"Just trust me." Chen Linyun's lips curved upward enigmatically.

"Another surprise, huh?"

She tagged along. The husband called the attention of the audience. Without further ado, he broke the news of their second engagement.

"Cheers!"

"Congratulations on your wedding ceremony!"

"All of you, well-wishers, who are present here will be invited." Chen Linyun announced.

"She must be really happy!"

"I bet they're equally happy!"

"It's a gift of new life!"

"Let's have a toast!" It was Grampa Xue who spoke. He stood up and led the crowd. "Chen Linyun, and Xu'er, my grandchildren, here's to a prosperous marriage." He raised his gla.s.s of champagne. "I am giving you my blessings. All who are present here can attest to it."

Xue Jinxu's brows were raised. Her incredulity would have reached the pinnacles of the heavens up above. While she was surprised bigtime, Chen Linyun smugly threw at her direction an 'I-told-you-so' look.

"I'll explain to you later."
