Chapter 648
When Ragib’s hand pushed the hem of her skirt upwards, her body trembled slightly and her hands clung to his neck.
Ragib lowered his head and kissed her inch by inch on her neck, gradually causing her breathing to become heavier and heavier.
At this moment, Zoya knew that if no one disturbed her, she would compromise. While Ragib was passionately kissing her skin, a servant knocked on the door.
“Colonel, Ms. Zoya, your esteemed guest has already arrived at the gathering. The engagement ceremony will begin at ten minutes.”
In the room, the hot air was like a piece of ice in an instant.
Influenced by this sudden disturbance, the air was gradually frozen.
Ragib’s breathing was thick and rough, and his eyes flashed with a hint of viciousness.
He really wanted to kill the people outside.
And Zoya’s mind was pulled back to reality. She couldn’t help but be shocked and her face changed… She almost gave herself up.
“That…” She pursed her lips. “Get up? You’re not getting engaged?”
Ragib’s hand, which was grabbing her shoulder, tightened.
No matter what, he didn’t want to give up this opportunity.
He was so close. He was so close! It was Zoya’s turn to answer him! “Get up,” Zoya said softly again.
Zoya, who was dressed in a gorgeous wine and red dress, was lying on the ground. The hem of her dress and her black hair were scattered like a blooming red lotus. She was extremely charming, reflecting her black hair and eyes. Her white and seductive skin stimulated Ragib’s most sensitive and most provocative nerves.
He wanted her so much at this moment!
However, ten minutes was obviously not enough for him to handle affairs.
He gritted his teeth and finally let go of her. He pulled her up from the ground.
Standing in front of her, Zoya quickly tidied up her gown and smoothed her hair as well as her breathing.
Ragib looked at her and slowly lifted the corners of his mouth. “You agreed just now.”
“What do you agree with?”
After tidying up the clothes on her chest, Zoya’s hand paused.
“Go on with me.” Ragib’s words were direct and undisguised. He did not care about a woman’s aloofness at all.
After a moment of embarrassment, Zoya swallowed and said, “I was just out of my mind.”
“That’s a lie.”
Ragib’s eyes were as dark as the night, enticing and captivating as ever.
Zoya’s lips moved. “… Just take it as an impulse. But I hope you can respect iny words and go to the last step after getting my consent. You promised me in City.”
Ragib looked at her, not saying a word.
Obviously, he didn’t want to agree.
“Ragib?” Zoya did not hear his answer. She looked back at him and said, “Do you remember what you promised me?”Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Finally, Ragib’s stern expression relaxed. With a fearless smile, he said, “That’s enough, Miss Zhan. What did I do to force you? But don’t worry, you’ll be able to fall into my arms one day, and you’re willing to do so.”
Zoya swallowed hard. This man was really arrogant.
“Hurry up and get ready. We’ll go down later.” Ragib
turned around and walked towards the sofa.
Zoya thought for a while, and then, facing the window glass, she hastily tidied up her hair.
She touched her hair with her finger and said, “In fact, I came to see you because I was a little nervous. I have been away from the studio for a long time. And I never thought that would have an engagement. I would have been single for the rest of my life before.”
“I say that you women think too much. In this world, there are only bachelors who don’t have a wife. When have you ever seen a woman who can’t be married?” Ragib came over with something in his hand.
It was totally different from the previous intimate and passionate atmosphere.
As soon as the two agreed to get engaged, the atmosphere calmed down again and they began to prepare to go to the banquet hall.
“Yes, I do.” The well-informed Cheif Editor said, “A lot of single women rich and powerful.”
“Those rich women are single, but it’s just that they’re not married. That doesn’t mean they don’t have any men.” Ragib leaned close behind her ear. “… Those old women are usually more dissolute than men in private.”
“You-”
Zoya turned around and glared at him. Ragib merely smiled lightly, with an expression that showed that he was too childish.
As a member of the media, how could Zoya not know this kind of secret? However, she just gave an example.
“Forget it. I don’t want to talk about this anymore. I think you have nothing else to say except to tease me.” Zoya put on the diamond earring a little bit more and looked at the glass. “I just want to say that I’m very nervous today, and I feel a little confused about the decision made to get engaged to you.”
“Why not?”
“When I saw the arrival of the Ragib Family and those well-known figures in the military and political circles, I was worried that I, the stepdaughter of the Zhan Family, would be looked down upon, and whether I was used as a tool, a political marriage tool.”
Whether she would be happy in the future, whether she would have a happy marriage like Chloe’s, or whether Ragib would treat her well like Aman doting on Chloe.
Among all the people that Zoya knew, Chloe was undoubtedly the most blessed one to get married. She was not envious of her.
Ragib stopped behind her. “Why do you care so much about them? In my eyes, this is an engagement between the two of us. It has nothing to do with them. They are just guests to witness it.”
From the glass window, Zoya looked at him and said, “But you have to bear the responsibility of marrying into the Zhan family.”
“In their eyes, it’s their responsibility. In my eyes.” Ragib’s hand moved from behind her neck to put the necklace around her neck again. “I’m only responsible for you.”
Zoya’s heart throbbed.
“You don’t have to be nervous,” Ragib said. “Just think of those people as part of our engagement ceremony and serve as a foil.”
“After all, I, Ragib, am engaged. I won’t even hold a wedding ceremony. There isn’t anyone at the scene to witness it, right?” After Ragib helped to put the necklace on Zoya’s neck, he held her shoulders and looked at her from the mirror. “To put it nicely, they are our witnesses. To put it bluntly, it’s just a decoration.”
Ragib’s tone was arrogant. What kind of personage was not worth mentioning in front of him?
For the two families of Zhan and Ragib, they shouldered the responsibility of marriage. But only he knew that he agreed to marriage and engagement because he wanted to get Zoya.
-This was only one of the models that he had acquired from Zoya!
Zoya looked back at Ragib and finally felt at ease. “Yes.”
“You threw this chain two days ago. I didn’t blame you when you were angry, but I don’t wish for you to throw it a second time,” Ragib said. “Because this is the first item I’ve given you. I hope you will cherish it.”
Zoya gently stroked the necklace around her neck.
It was night outside. When the curtains were pulled open, the glass window reflected her and Ragib’s figures like a clear mirror.
Perhaps it was a coincidence, the string of red seal Ragib had given her was just right. It was also contrasting with the dark red dress on her. The color was well-suited, making her look charming, gorgeous, and magnificent!
“Very pretty.” Ragib said, “You fit the bright red color. This is a high-profile and self- confident color.”
It was just like her character!
Zoya looked at Ragib behind her from the glass. Ragib
had deep-set eyes, and his eyes were as charming as peach blossoms. He wore a velvet blue suit and a shiny black tie, which set off his tall and handsome figure. He was noble and evil, a typical prince charming in women’s hearts…
No, it was Prince Charming!
Standing next to her at this moment, she looked really a perfect match!
Zoya was happy that she could match this man.
Zoya nodded and said, “Okay, I won’t throw it away. You can put this necklace on me again.”
“Beautiful Miss Zhan, come on.” Ragib smiled and handed his hand in front of Zoya. He gave her a gentleman’s salute and said, “Let’s meet the distinguished guests below and have them bear witness to our engagement tonight.”
Zoya handed him her hand and said with a smile, “Of course, Colonel.”
Ragib held Zoya’s hand and walked out of the room.
The servant was waiting respectfully outside and hurriedly leading the way. “Colonel, Miss Zoya, this way please.”
From the backs of Ragib and Zoya, they walked towards the downstairs banquet hall in two different ways. Ragib’s suit made him look tall and handsome. The dark red and wide hem of his dress made it look like he was facing the wind behind him. It was as if a red lotus was blooming.
In the banquet hall, high-ranking military officers of the entire capital, officials of all politicians and politicians of the country, and even politicians of several deputy state status were gathered.
There were many tables in the hall. The guests sat around the tables. General and his wife, as well as Commander Zhan and his wife, sat at a round table in front of the hall.
General and Commander Zhan were all in military uniforms. Besides some officials, there were people in military uniforms around the banquet hall.
Because for the soldiers, military uniforms were the right ones.
In the grand but dignified atmosphere of the banquet hall, someone suddenly announced, “Colonel and Miss Zoya are coming down.”
In the other direction of the banquet hall, Lin and Zara’s eyes lit up when they heard this-
“Oh oh!”
“I saw Zoya!”
“Her dress is so beautiful!”
Some of the notable young ladies and the female relatives of the officers around also burst into cheers.
“That’s Ragib ? The real person looks even more handsome than the people on TV and magazines!”
“He’s really mighty. He deserves to be the First Childe of the Family, the first military king in the military world. He’s so imposing!”
“It’s a pity. I used to ask my daughter not to fall in love with a man like Ragib. I didn’t expect that there would be a day when the Young Master of the army would change his mind. This Young Miss Zhan is really lucky…”
“This shows that you have no taste. You are in charge of the power in military region, and you are friends with Aman of the Emperor. How can you be the playboys?” A madam of the officers clasped her hands and raised her face, saying, “I have three sons. Why don’t you introduce my daughter to him?”
“Madam, you’re really one-of-a- kind. None of your three sons have reached the school level, right?” Another madam mocked her arrogance. “Besides, with your tall and sturdy appearance, even Ragib might not be satisfied with having a daughter.”
“You-” Madame got anxious and sat back straight, snorting, “but my husband is higher than your husband’s military rank! He did two first-class feats!”
Hearing the comparison between these militarywomen, the wife of Deputy Mayor of the capital sat in the middle and tried to smooth things over with a smile. “Okay, ladies, you are all serving the country. There is no need to make a fuss about this. The marriage alliance between the Ragib Family and the Zhan Family is to strengthen the military power of the country. This means that Colonel and Miss Zhan are fated.”
“Not bad.” The other military commander’s wife said, “It’s useless even if you regret it now. Ragib has now chosen the Zhan family’s daughter. After all, the commander has two beautiful daughters. This man likes beautiful women!”
The discussions were fierce among the officers’ family members and the political family members, while Zhan Mei, who was sitting on the other side, had a white and white face hidden under the foundation of her foundation.
Under the table, her hand was tightly holding her dress.
Seeing that the other young military officers were all looking at her, she did not pay as much attention to her as she used to do. She felt like she had swallowed a fly.
