“No, but you’ve been hiding from me.”
“How have I been hiding from you?” Yu Gangan turned her head and opened her eyes wide at him in an innocent manner. What was there to hide from? She simply needed a bit of peace. That’s why she moved to Lin Jiayu’s.
Fang Zhihan’s lips curved upwards into a chuckle, revealing his white and neat teeth, “Good, then let’s have a chat after the wedding.”
…
At the start of the reception, Lin Jiayu changed into a red wedding dress. Her hair was wrapped into a bun and she wore a red beaded flower clip, exquisite makeup, and red lipstick. The bright colors were vibrant and she looked so beautiful that she put the flowers to shame!
Lin Jiayu and Lu Xuechen were about to go around and toast their guests.
As Lin Jiayu was pregnant and could not drink alcohol, her wine was replaced with water. Everyone was considerate of the bride and did not persuade her to drink. Instead, they continuously forced Lu Xuechen to drink.
But, Lin Jiayu’s bridesmaids ended up drinking a lot.
Yu Gangan was glad she wasn’t one of the bridesmaids. Otherwise, with her tolerance, she would have been drunk after two glasses.
When they arrived at Yu Gangan’s table, Lu Xuechen caused a commotion and insisted that Yu Gangan and Fang Zhihan exchange a love shot.
“What?”
Yu Gangan’s eyes widened and she immediately refused, “Why do we need to exchange a love shot? Isn’t that reserved for the married couple?”
“Who said that only the married couple can exchange a love shot? Our tradition is for all couples to exchange a love shot when we toast them,” Lu Xuechen said as he glanced at Fang Zhihan. [Look how good I am to you.]
“That’s right, that’s our tradition. It’s called ‘passing on the happiness’.”
“Drink, drink, drink. Drink it all.”
…
Of course, Yu Gangan didn’t want to do it. But with everyone’s urging and cheering, her refusal did not work.
All she could do was pick up the glass and look at Fang Zhihan. Her heart beat out of rhythm and even felt like it paused at one point.
Fang Zhihan smiled slightly and swept his eyes across the people around them. He then picked up his glass as well.
Since they had to drink anyway, they might as well get it over and done with. With this thought, Yu Gangan held onto the glass and crossed her arm with Fang Zhihan’s. She then closed her eyes and placed the glass to her lips.
She held her breath and drank everything in one go.
The glass contained the strongest baijiu. Yu Gangan, who didn’t usually drink, could feel a blaze of fire flow from her throat into her stomach, causing her to choke a little.
She squinted her eyes and spat out her tongue subconsciously.
Fang Zhihan’s eyes were deep. As he drank, he stared dotingly at her small face, but ended up laughing when he saw her sour expression.
After drinking one glass, Yu Gangan poured another one and said to Lin Jiayu, “You must be happy.”
Regardless of the fact that this was a contract marriage, she still had to be happy and cheerful, every single day.
…
Before the reception completely finished, Fang Zhihan left with Yu Gangan.
Just before they left, Fang Zhihan looked at Lu Xuechen and suddenly said, “Let me give you another wedding gift.”
Lu Xuechen smiled, “What wedding gift? Could you be transferring all your shares to me?”
Fang Zhihan said with a slight smile, “Three months ago, Lin Jiayu was sick, her face was paralyzed, and she wore a mask every single day. I’m sure she was really ugly at that time.”
Lu Xuechen froze for a while, then realized what Fang Zhihan meant, and opened his eyes sharply, “What did you say?”
Fang Zhihan turned indifferently and left.
