Cute But Brutal Wife
Chapter 492: The Wedding Banquet
Duanmu Zhixuan was about to speak when Qin Shi’an suddenly pointed to the stage. “The bride is already on stage.”
At this time, the wedding march song happened to be played. The bride in a white wedding dress stood on the red carpet and was taken to the stage by her father, who personally handed it to the groom.
Chu Luo tilted her head to look at Li Yan.
Li Yan seemed to have guessed his thoughts and said, “You can make Chu Yichen hold your hand then.”
Chu Luo frowned her nose and had a strange feeling.
Li Yan read his thoughts again and grabbed his hand under the table. “We can come back every week for the next two weeks. You can get used to it.”
Chu Luo thought about it and nodded.
All marriages are the same. After the host announced that the bride had exchanged their wedding rings, the bride stood on stage and prepared to throw a bouquet.
A group of unmarried young women ran towards the open space below the stage. Even Duanmu Zhixuan left.
They reached out and shouted excitedly, “Throw it here!”, looking excited to receive the bridal bouquet.
Qin Shi’an, who was sitting there, asked, “Nona Chu, why don't you go catch the wreath?”
Chu Luo looked at the group of crazy women and replied calmly, “Not interested.”
In the end, the bouquet was snatched away by an unknown woman Chu Luo.
After the wedding ceremony is over, the waiters serve the dishes and the wedding banquet begins.
Shang Lihai and Zhang Yuexiang started toast with the bride.
They were first toast at Chu Luo's table.
Shang Lihai first said a few polite words to them, then everyone drank their first glass of wine.
Then, the bride and groom started toast with them.
The bride is a beautiful woman who looks a little heroic. Standing in front of the groom, he had a happy expression on his face.
The two of them first toasted to the people from the Duanmu family before toasting with Li Yan and Chu Luo.
The groom raised his glass towards them. “Thank you, CEO Li, for coming to our wedding. Let's toast to you and Miss Chu.”
Although Li Yan's face was still cold, he had drunk the wine as they toast him.
Chu Luo and Li Yan had just put down their glasses when the Shang family members suddenly looked at Qin Shi’an with conflicting expressions.
At this time, Eldest Master Duanmu said, “You must toast to other guests.”
With Master Duanmu saying that, the Shang family need not hesitate anymore. They walked to the next table.
Chu Luo glanced at Qin Shi’an.
With his gaze lowered, no one knew what Qin Shi’an was thinking. However, Chu Luo could feel his patience.
Chu Luo retracted her gaze and prepared to eat something first.
Eldest Master Qin raised his glass towards Li Yan.
Chu Luo brushed aside the empty bowl in front of Li Yan and took out half a bowl of food for him. “Yan, don't drink so until here. Eat something to fill your stomach first.”
Li Yan did not even look towards Eldest Master Qin. He replied with “Mm” and took his chopsticks to eat.
He probably felt that his food tasted good, so he picked up his chopsticks and took some for Chu Luo.
“You like this.”
Chu Luo picked it up and chewed it slowly before nodding at him.
Li Yan scooped up half a bowl of soup for him.
The two of them showed off their love as if there was no one around, leaving Eldest Master Duanmu with no chance to toast.
Eldest Master Duanmu was a little angry. He quickly looked at Duanmu Zhixuan, asking her to think of a way to take Chu Luo away quickly.
Duanmu Zhixuan nodded at him calmly and subconsciously bit off the dish that Chu Luo and Li Yan had eaten.
Qin Shi’an, who was sitting at the side, had noticed the Duanmu family. How could he not know of their actions personally?
He pointed to the table beside them with his hands behind, no matter if the people at the table saw him or not. He also started eating.
The other tables were all drinking and chatting, especially the table where the groom and the lady toast. There would be screams and jeers coming from that table and nearby, and it was very festive.
On the other hand, Chu Luo's table was merely an anomaly.
Even so, all the nearby tables were watching them, wanting to find an excuse to toast.
Before the bride finished her toast, Chu Luo was already full.
He had just put down his chopsticks when Shang Yun brought two other girls to invite him and Duanmu Zhixuan. “Saudari Duanmu, Chu Luo, have you finished eating? Let's go there and play.”
Duanmu Zhixuan put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth with a tissue. He's nodding. “I'm full.”
However, Chu Luo did not move.
Duanmu Zhixuan looked at Chu Luo and deliberately asked, “Chu Luo, are you worried about something? Or are you afraid to play with us?”
Chu Luo glanced at Duanmu Zhixuan as if she was looking at an idiot. He wondered if he had not given this woman a sufficient lesson last time, that was why he dared to be so impudent in front of her.
At this moment, Shang Yun pointed to a table and said to Chu Luo, “Chu Luo, Miss Wu is also coming with us. Come on, we'll be there.”
As he spoke, he pointed to the left side of the banquet, where a row of low trees separated them.
“There is a pool there and a garden beside it. Not a bad idea for us to talk and take a walk.”
Chu Luo tilted her head to look at Wu Yiyao and realized that she was indeed standing.
However, the person who invited Wu Yiyao was a girl he did not know.
“Who is it?”
“Who?” Shang Yun only reacted after two seconds. He smiled and said, “That's my cousin. His name is Miao Ke. She happens to be Miss Wu.”'s student
Chu Luo raised her eyebrows but did not say anything more.
At this moment, Wu Yiyao seemed to feel her gaze and tilted her head to look up.
Then, he walked towards Chu Luo.
Chu Luo assessed Wu Yiyao's expression and asked, “Saudari Wu, how much wine are you drinking?”
Wu Yiyao fanned herself with her palm and said with a smile, “Not much. I only drank one glass, but the effect of alcohol was seen on my face quickly.”
Then, he introduced the girl who came with him to Chu Luo. “This is my student, Miao Ke. I didn't expect him to be a relative of the Shang.” family
When Miao Ke saw Chu Luo, he looked so excited that he wanted to shout. She cupped her hands around her face and said, “Chu Luo, I didn't expect you to be attending my cousin's wedding tonight. If I had known, I would have come to look for you and come with you today.”
Chu Luo simply nodded at him.
Shang Yun smiled and patted Miao Ke on the shoulder. She teases, “Keke, you look like you've seen your idol. Don't faint later.”
Miao Ke laughed.
As they spoke, Qin Meng, Qin Xin, and the other women walked over.
Shang Yun quickly said, “Then let's go there first. We can let the men drink.”
Everyone walked closer.
As Chu Luo left, she glanced at the wine glass in front of Li Yan. When Li Yan sensed her gaze and looked at her, she smiled at him and walked away with everyone.
The Shang family has been trying hard for this marriage. In winters like this, they had built many large glass rooms outdoors. The inside is quite warm, and they are not afraid of anyone touching it.
As everyone walked into the pond, they realized that the pond was filled with floating petals. They were so shocked that they began to discuss loudly.
“Wow, such a large pool is filled with flower petals. Are we going to soak in the flower petal bath?”
“Of course not. It is not good to wear swimwear for swimming on such occasions. What if a group of men come..”.
“Hehe... Wouldn't it be better if they came? After all, only those who are not confident will not dare to wear swimsuits.”
The women from the Shang family seemed to have deliberately made everyone tense. They allowed everyone to discuss but did not immediately explain.
Chu Luo and Wu Yiyao stood together and did not participate in their discussion.
At this moment, Miao Ke walked towards Chu Luo and Wu Yiyao and whispered to them mysteriously, “Master Wu, Chu Luo, whisper to them, do you know why there are so many flowers in the pool?”
Wu Yiyao smiled and shook her head. “I don't know. Why?”
“Because of the habits of my cousin-in-law.”
“Accommodity? There is such a custom in the empire?”
Wu Yiyao was curious.
Chu Luo thought for a moment and said firmly, “The bride is from the XX.” Clan
“It's true, it's true. Chu Luo, you are too smart. My brother-in-law said that there were only about a hundred people in the XX Clan. No one usually hears about them. I don't expect Chu Luo to know.”
“I've seen it in books before.”
As Chu Luo finished speaking, Shang Yun told everyone why there were flowers in the pool.
“This is the custom of my brother-in-law's clan. Putting flowers symbolizes my cousin's loyalty to my sister-in-law.It means that out of three thousand beautiful women, she only took one spoon. Before my brother and sister have a wedding, my brother will bring a spoonful of water to their wedding room.”
“Wow, although I have never heard of this clan, this custom is truly romantic. I'm so envious.”
The other girls looked envious.
Wu Yiyao suddenly asked Chu Luo, “Little Chu, do you think that really means anything? Why do I feel weird?”
