TAIWAN actress Barbie Hsu has gotten engaged to Wang Xiaofei, the son of a wealthy Chinese businesswoman, Wang announced Friday on his microblog account.

    “Everyone stops guessing. We [Hsu and himself] are engaged. It is not sudden and we were very calm.

    “We simply met the right person at the right time. We just want to have a very happy, comfortable life. I will continue to work on my career. She can return to quiet family life,” wrote Wang about their whirlwind engagement.

    The lovebirds were spotted holding hands at an airport in Shanghai on Friday. Wang was seen wearing a ring on his left ring finger.

    Later in the day, the two announced their engagement on their respective microblogs.

    Hsu wrote: “I knew he was the one when I saw him for the first time.”

    Hsu, 34, had only just met Wang at actress Ady An’s birthday bash in Beijing last month.

    They got along very well and were photographed together on many occasions.

    But it was only when the pair started posting messages on each other’s microblog accounts that suspicions were raised about the romantic nature of their relationship.

    Wang, like Hsu’s ex-boyfriend, actor Vic Chou, is five years her junior. He had previously dated mainland actress Kitty Zhang, but they separated due to what Zhang described as “incompatible personalities.”

    Wang is executive director of South Beauty, a high-end restaurant chain in China. He is the only son of the company’s founder and president, Zhang Lan.
