Quick Transmigration: I Was Cannon Fodder But Became the White Moonlight

The banquet was about to begin, and everyone moved to the main banquet hall.

The hall was brightly lit, with a huge crystal chandelier reflecting dazzling light and soothing classical music playing.

The venue was decorated in an extremely luxurious manner, with flowers in abundance and silverware gleaming on the long table.

The guests were numerous, all prominent figures from the political and business circles, dressed in elegant attire, chatting and laughing in hushed tones.

The hostess, dressed in a cheongsam and with a polite smile, led Lu Yuze and Chen Su to the seats reserved for the two families at the main table.

The seating arrangement was very particular. Chen Su and Lu Yuzhe were naturally placed next to each other, with Chen Su's parents and Lu Yuzhe's parents on either side.

The elders from both families were already seated, and upon seeing them arrive, they both greeted them with warm smiles.

Each person's seat was presented with a beautifully packaged and valuable gift, showcasing the organizer's thoughtfulness and luxury in every detail.

The emcee is a highly respected and well-known host in the industry, with a steady stage presence and witty remarks.

At his warm invitation, the birthday celebrant celebrated tonight.

The sprightly old Mr. Li, accompanied by his eldest son and grandson, slowly walked into the banquet hall, immediately receiving enthusiastic applause and blessings from the entire audience.

Afterwards, Mr. Li's children took turns to the stage to deliver heartfelt speeches, expressing their deepest respect and blessings to their father. The scene was warm and touching.

After the birthday celebration concluded, the banquet officially began.

The waiters, dressed in uniform, began serving dishes with practiced ease. One delicacy after another was presented, from exquisite cold appetizers to rare delicacies from land and sea, all of which demonstrated the Li family's status and the scale of the banquet.

The banquet was filled with clinking glasses and cheerful conversation.

To add to the festivities, the Li family invited several popular celebrities to perform on stage. The performances, including songs, dances, and skits, were spectacular and brought the banquet to a series of climaxes.

Chen Su was in an exceptionally good mood today.

The smile in her eyes was brighter than usual, as if it were soaked in honey.

Faced with the waiter's constant refills of champagne and red wine, she indulged in a few more glasses than usual.

The slightly cool liquid, bubbly and smooth, slides down the throat, bringing a sense of relaxation and light, pleasant sensation.

A blush gradually rose to her cheeks, and her eyes became more dreamy and watery.

As I reached for the glass again, a hand with distinct knuckles pressed down on the stem of the glass first.

Chen Su looked up and met a pair of light-colored eyes that held disapproval.

"Brother Yuze...it's alright..." Her voice was soft, with a hint of coquetry, as she tried to take the wine glass back.

Lu Yu did not let up.

He simply looked at her flushed cheeks and unusually bright eyes, which were tinged with drunkenness, and pushed his wine glass away, while indicating to the waiter that there was no need to refill it.

"That's about it." His tone was calm, yet authoritative.

"Really, I have a high alcohol tolerance..." Chen Su muttered softly, somewhat unwilling, but in the end she didn't insist on taking it anymore. She just puffed out her cheeks and stopped looking at him.

Looking at her like this, Lu Yuze had a helpless smile in his eyes.

He reached out a finger and gently tapped the tip of her small nose, whispering, "Little drunkard."

These intimate gestures and terms of address made Chen Su's face turn even redder, whether from the alcohol or from embarrassment, it was hard to tell.

She leaned closer to him, almost resting against him, inhaling his reassuring, cool scent, and a smile unconsciously crept onto her lips.

The parents of both families watched the interaction between the two, exchanging knowing and satisfied glances.

The conversation naturally shifted from the Li family's birthday banquet to their own children's marriage.

"The two children get along so well, so we parents can rest assured."

Su Wan smiled gently and said, "I think it's time to put Yu Ze and Su Su's marriage on the agenda. We can't keep putting it off."

Mrs. Lu immediately nodded in agreement: "That's right, Wanwan is right. As parents, aren't we hoping that our children can settle down as soon as possible? I think we can hold an engagement ceremony first, choose an auspicious day, and officially settle this matter."

"The date..." Madam Lu thought for a moment, a smile playing on her lips, "Isn't next month Yuze's birthday? Double happiness, how about it?"

The suggestion caused a moment of silence at the table.

Next month...

Time is indeed tight, but it's not impossible.

Chen Zonghan, more composed, replied, "Next month? Wouldn't that be a bit rushed? Although an engagement banquet isn't the same as a wedding, the proper etiquette and pomp shouldn't be neglected. Of course, we should first ask the two children themselves what they think."

After he finished speaking, the gazes of the four elders all seemed to fall on the two parties involved.

As Chen Su was eating, Lu Yu helped her put some tender fish meat, with the bones already removed, onto her plate.

Upon hearing this, he looked up, his heart skipped a beat, and he seemed to sober up a bit.

Next month?

Lu Yuze got engaged on his birthday?

Of course... she had no objection.

They even thought the suggestion couldn't be better.

She secretly glanced up at the man beside her.

Lu Yuze was slowly wiping his fingers with a napkin when he heard this, and his movements paused almost imperceptibly.

He raised his eyes, his gaze calmly sweeping over Chen Su, whose face was full of expectation and a little nervous, and then looking at the elders who were waiting for his reply.

The music in the hall seemed to become clearer at that moment, and a singer on the stage was singing with deep emotion, his voice melodious.

The guests at the surrounding tables were chatting and laughing, clinking glasses, and no one noticed the brief silence at the main table where the future of the two families was being decided.

A few seconds later, Lu Yu nodded slightly, his voice not loud, but clear and steady:

"Can."

Two words, spoken lightly, yet they seemed to seal the deal.

Chen Su lowered her head and unconsciously poked at the food on her plate with her fork, her heart pounding in her chest.

Su Wan and Madam Lu's faces instantly lit up with smiles, and even Chen Zonghan and Lu's father showed a look of relief in their eyes.

"Then it's settled!" Madam Lu beamed. "I'll have someone calculate the auspicious time later. Wanwan, we need to discuss the details of the engagement banquet..."

The two mothers immediately began to discuss the matter in hushed tones with great interest, and Chen Zonghan also exchanged opinions with Lu's father on some more practical arrangements.

The atmosphere became even more lively and full of anticipation.

Sitting next to Lu Yuze, Chen Su felt light and airy, as if she were walking on clouds.

She quietly reached out from under the table and tentatively touched Lu Yuze's hand, which was resting on his lap.

Lu Yuze's hand paused slightly, but he did not dodge.

Chen Su grew bolder, gently hooking her little finger around his and gripping it.

Lu Yu continued to look straight ahead, seemingly unaware of the small movements under the table, though his previously steady breathing became slightly disordered for a moment.

He didn't pull his hand away, letting her hook it around him. That warm, slightly dependent touch, like a feather, gently scratched his heart.
