Shi Min was the first to break the silence. "Hey, everyone! Just finished coordinating with the Camp Blaze team. They've confirmed that they are willing to take part in making the proposal grand. It's going to be perfect to keep it all a secret from Mom."

Ren quickly followed with her update, her enthusiasm palpable even through the screen. "I've sketched out all the paintings, and I have to say, they look amazing! Each one captures a significant moment in Paps and Mom's journey. I'm starting the painting process tomorrow."

Mushu jumped in, his excitement evident in his words. "The holographic technology is coming together beautifully! The paintings will come to life in ways you can't even imagine. It's going to be like walking through a magical love story."

Pharsa added her thoughts, her voice filled with emotion. "I've contacted Camp Blaze; we have formed a perfect group of orchestra and they're thrilled to play the song they danced to during the twins' celebration. They're working on a special arrangement to make it even more memorable."

Lily, ever the adventurer, had her own thrilling update to share. "Found the perfect fireworks provider! They've promised us a spectacular show that will light up the sky just as Paps proposes. It's going to be breathtaking!"

The group buzzed with excitement, their updates filling the chat with a flurry of messages and emojis. Four Eyes couldn't help but feel a swell of gratitude for his friends, their dedication, and their creativity.

Ren chimed in again, her message filled with determination. "I'm also taking charge of the decorations. Lily, don't forget to order the most beautiful cake for the celebration afterward."

Lily responded with a thumbs-up emoji and a flurry of cake-related gifs, her excitement evident. "Consider it done! I've already contacted the best pastry chef in the country. Mom's favorite flavors are on the list!"

As the group continued to share their updates and coordinate the final details, each family and friend was determined to make the proposal an unforgettable moment for Ling Li and Four Eyes.

With five days to go, the anticipation grew with each passing moment. The group chat became a hub of creativity, dedication, and love as they worked together to create a proposal that would be remembered forever.

This evening's collaborative spirit set the stage for the magical proposal that was soon to come. The stars seemed to shine a little brighter that night, as if they, too, were excited for the love story that was about to unfold.

Butler Peng later that night informed everyone that dinner was ready, causing them to jolt from their rest. However, everyone quickly noticed that Ling Li was the only one missing from the dining hall. A sense of unease spread through the group like wildfire.

"She must be in the alchemy room; let me check on her," Four Eyes said, concern evident in his voice.

"Let me go with you, Paps," Shi Min added, his anxiousness piqued; knowing the complex process of alchemy, he wants to make sure his Mom is safe.

To their surprise, everyone else decided to follow them. Some were genuinely curious about the alchemy room, having never seen it before. In contrast, others simply didn't want to be left out. The tension was palpable, as Shi Min and Four Eyes didn't stop them from tagging along, their own anxieties mounting.

Upon their arrival at the alchemy room, they were caught off guard by the number of security personnel surrounding the place. Mushu, who had joined Pharsa as soon as the training session that afternoon had ended, stood vigilantly by the door. The sight of Mushu and the security team raised alarm bells in Shi Min's mind.

"What's going on?" Shi Min asked, his brow furrowing in confusion.

"Good evening, Young Master, Masters, Young Miss Ren, Young Miss Lily," Mushu greeted them with a formal bow. As the highest-ranking official in the vicinity, it was his duty to address and answer Shi Min. "Young Master, your mom is refining important pills and will be in seclusion. She will be out in five days," Mushu explained, his voice steady yet revealing a hint of urgency.

"In five days?" Shi Min repeated, his worry evident in his tone as he confirmed the information. His mind raced with thoughts of what could go wrong in those five days.

Standing beside Shi Min, Four Eyes felt a wave of nervousness wash over him. Five days from now was his surprise wedding proposal for Ling Li. The thought of her being in seclusion and missing such an important moment filled him with anxiety. 'What if she didn't make it out in time? What if something went wrong during the refinement process?' Four Eyes silently thought.

"Young Master, Madam promised me that she would be out in five days," Pharsa assured Shi Min, her voice filled with determination. But even she couldn't hide the flicker of doubt in her eyes.

"And how can you be sure that Mom will come out in five days? How did you make her promise?" Shi Min asked suspiciously, his gaze locked on Pharsa. The air grew tense as the group awaited her response.

"I…. I…." Pharsa stammered, her mind racing as she tried to find the right words. She had already lied to Ling Li once, and the thought of fabricating another lie now made her face flush red with embarrassment. With a deep breath, Pharsa revealed her alibi to the group, "I told Madam that Murphy and I have an important announcement to make and she couldn't be absent," her face as red as a cooked crab by the time she finished.

However, a certain Murphy was grinning from ear to ear. "Don't worry, Honey, and I will certainly help you on that day with your alibi. I think your plan is the best," Chatty shamelessly chimed in, his confidence unwavering.

The tension outside the alchemy room started to shift as Pharsa finished her confession, and the group's initial anxiety began to dissipate, replaced by a lighter, more playful atmosphere.

"Pharsa, you really know how to get things done," Ren teased, nudging her friend with a grin.
