CH 165

On one hand, the problem of the invitation cards has been solved. On the other hand, Cheng Yi was pulling An Yan to choose clothes to wear on the engagement day.

The basic style was easy to choose, and it only took a few more attempts to find the best choice. Cheng Yi had decided on the colors of the outfits beforehand. Cheng Yi would wear black while the little one would be in white.

Aside from the fact that the black and white colour scheme was both solemn and harmonious, there was also another reason for Cheng Yi's choice.

A white tiger embroidered in black would stand out and give an air of power, while a golden, fluffy hamster embroidered in white would add a touch of playfulness.

In addition to incorporating the white tiger and hamster elements into the invitation, Cheng Yi had already planned to incorporate these two elements into their clothes and other aspects as well.

An Yan's attitude towards these matters was much more relaxed.  He just did whatever Cheng Yi told him to do. When Cheng Yi asked him to change his outfit, he would immediately do so, looking very obedient and understanding.

Even the attendant responsible for advising the two and picking up and changing their clothes couldn't help but say, "Mr. Cheng, your lover is so cute."

However, Cheng Yi gave him a cold sweeping glance with an obvious declaration of sovereignty: "He is my lover; of course he is cute."

The attendant: "...." I was just praising! I have no intention of stealing your lover. Believe me!

I don't think I'd be able to compete with you even if I wanted to. (〒﹏〒)

An Yan could see the attendant's embarrassment, so he smiled and began to ease the atmosphere: "It’s because I just like the clothes that senior picked out for me."

Although he knew that An Yan was speaking out of kindness, the attendant felt like he had been hit twice for some reason.

In order not to suffer further internal damage, the attendant wisely changed the subject: "Would you two gentlemen like to see more of what's available here? Although you only need one outfit for the engagement day, you can have another one as a backup in order to be prepared. "

He meant in case of accidents, such as spilling wine on the clothes, or accidentally scratching the outfit with a sharp object.

But Cheng Yi had a different idea when he heard those words: "Then let's pick two more sets."

Whether he needed to change or not, he was going to wear all three outfits with his little one. The guests did not have to know why they needed to change anyway.

With his mind made up, Cheng Yi dragged An Yan to pick out two more styles of clothes. The second set was also black and white, except that Cheng Yi’s was white and An Yan’s was black.

The patterns on the clothes would also be the same, but An Yan's would have a large white tiger embroidered on it, while Cheng Yi's would have a small hamster on it. 

For the third outfit, Cheng Yi did not have any ideas, so he asked the designer to help him choose the style and colors.

Although the outfit selection process went smoothly, they were surprised to find that nearly four hours had passed when they went outside, and it was now dark.

Cheng Yi took a look at the sky and suggested excitedly, "Since it's already so late, why don't we just have dinner out."

An Yan did not object: "Sure."

The two picked a barbecue restaurant nearby and started to eat happily.

As for An Mu, Cheng Yi had already planned for her in advance. He asked his mother to invite her over for dinner.

In order to prevent An Yan's mother from refusing, Cheng Yi also gave his mother a good reason to invite her to dinner, as he had just designed the invitation form today.

So while An Yan and Cheng Yi were at the barbecue restaurant, choosing their favorite ingredients and grilling them on one side, An Mu was sitting in the living room of the Cheng house, admiring the invitation Cheng Yi had designed.

Although Cheng Lin had accepted the design of the invitation, she was a little worried when she presented it to An Mu, and she couldn't help but take the initiative to explain: "This invitation was designed by Ah Yi himself. The white tiger and hamster on the top represent Ah Yi and Yan Yan, respectively. I was a bit surprised when I first saw it, but I let it go since it is the engagement ceremony for the two children. "

After saying this, Cheng Lin added, "If you think it's not right, I'll tell Ah Yi to change it."

An Mu stared at the invitation several times, and a gentle smile finally appeared on her face: "I think the invitation is well designed. There is nothing that needs to be changed. "

Cheng Lin’s mind was put at ease: "That's good. By the way, didn't the two children go to pick out their outfits today? I wonder what they've chosen."

There wasn't much time left before the engagement day.  Cheng Lin might not have felt so rushed if she was the only one making preparations. After all, she would only have to make the decisions and then leave the details to others.

But since some of the work was left to the two children, she was worried that they might not do a good job because they were inexperienced. In addition, they might spend too much time on it, which will affect the competition.

"Yan Yan told me, but I don't know how it’s going," An Mu said with a smile as she turned off the three-dimensional invitation template. "But I think anything is fine as long as the children are happy."

Perhaps she had been through so much before, but An Mu was very open-minded now. She would be happy as long as her son was happy.

Just like the invitation she had just seen. She couldn't understand it, but she thought it was good since both children liked it.

As for the outfits, as long as the two children were happy, what did it matter what they put on?

Cheng Lin also realised that she was worrying too much when she heard An Mu’s words.

"You're right. As long as the two children are happy, we don't have to worry about them. " With this in mind, Cheng Lin’s mood suddenly relaxed and she pulled An Mu into talking about other topics.

On the other hand, An Yan and Cheng Yi had finished a nice meal and decided to head back to their homes.

On the way home, the aircraft drove slowly, while An Yan and Cheng Yi got together to pick out a ring.

To the people of the interstellar, a ring was as ritualistic as an engagement or a wedding ceremony. Although An Yan couldn't understand where this ritual came from, he followed it since he was in the interstellar and Cheng Yi seemed to care about it.

They were now browsing through a famous jewellery shop on the virtual net. Their rings were famous on the virtual net, otherwise Cheng Yi would not have chosen from them.

After browsing through several rings, An Yan pointed to a simple ring and said, "I think I want this one. It looks very simple and elegant, and it won't interfere with daily operations. "

However, Cheng Yi was not satisfied: "This ring is too simple. There is nothing special about it."

An Yan moved his finger back, "What about this one? This ring has small lines on it and it looks quite delicate. "

Cheng Yi shook his head again, "The pattern is indeed exquisite, but it's still not distinctive enough."

In fact, both rings were well designed, but in Cheng Yi's opinion, he had to choose the best one. So, no matter how exquisite the ring was, he still felt that it was not good enough.

An Yan tried to pick out a few more, but Cheng Yi rejected them all, so he said, "Can the rings be custom-made like the outfits? If you can't find one that you like here, we can also customize the ring according to your preferred style, right? "

This suggestion immediately made Cheng Yi's eyes light up. "Yan Yan is really smart. We can customize the rings! "

He immediately contacted the customer service of the jewelry shop and discussed the custom-made rings.

So, after the invitation design and picking out outfits, Cheng Yi was happy to take on a third task.

But Cheng Yi didn’t plan to take the test of designing the ring alone this time. He took An Yan's hand and said with a smile, "Yan Yan, can we design each other’s rings?"

An Yan was eager to say yes, but the problem was, "But I don't know how to do it."

He had no previous knowledge of design, and with the time constraints he was facing, he really didn't have the confidence to design an exquisite ring.

"It's okay," Cheng Yi squeezed An Yan's small hand and said excitedly, "I will like whatever ring you design as long as it was done by you."

"But ......" An Yan was still a little worried.

Cheng Yi didn't wait for him to finish speaking but said, " I can provide you with some designs. It’s a simple matter and it won’t take long. "

Cheng Yi had said so much, so An Yan could not refuse even if lacked confidence: "Okay, I will do my best!"

After convincing the little one, Cheng Yi immediately talked about his design idea with great enthusiasm, "I want to engrave the hamster pattern on your ring. Maybe I can add some other symbols that belong to you besides the pattern. "

But as soon as he finished saying that, Cheng Yi changed his mind. "That seems to be the opposite. Since it's a ring for you, shouldn’t I put my pattern on it?"

An Yan was a little confused and asked, "What's the difference between the two?"

Cheng Yi immediately said, "Since it's a ring for your other half, it naturally needs to be the most unique."
