Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Duanmu Zhixuan was about to speak when Qin Shi’an suddenly pointed at the stage. “The bride and groom are on stage.”

At this moment, the wedding march tune happened to play. The bride in a white wedding dress stood on the red carpet and was led to the stage by her father, who personally handed her to the groom.

Chu Luo tilted her head to look at Li Yan.

Li Yan seemed to have guessed her thoughts and said, “You can get Chu Yichen to hold your hand then.”

Chu Luo wrinkled her nose and had a strange feeling.

Li Yan read her mind again and grabbed her hand under the table. “We can go back every week for the next two weeks. You can familiarize yourself with him.”

Chu Luo thought about it and nodded.

All weddings were the same. After the emcee announced that the bride and groom had swapped their wedding rings, the bride stood on the stage and prepared to throw the bouquet.

A group of young unmarried women ran towards an open space below the stage. Even Duanmu Zhixuan went.

They extended their hands and screamed excitedly, “Throw it over here!”, looking eager to receive the bride’s bouquet.

Qin Shi’an, who was sitting there, asked, “Miss Chu, why don’t you go catch the bouquet?”

Chu Luo looked at the group of crazy women and replied calmly, “Not interested.”

In the end, the bouquet was snatched away by a woman Chu Luo didn’t know.

After the wedding ceremony ended, the servants served the dishes and the wedding banquet started.

Shang Lihai and Zhang Yuexiang started to toast with the bride and groom.

They first toasted 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 toasting them.

The bride was a beautiful woman who looked a little heroic. Standing in front of the groom, she had a blissful look on her face.

The two of them first toasted the people from the Duanmu family before toasting Li Yan and Chu Luo.

The groom raised his glass at 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 when they toasted him.

Chu Luo and Li Yan had just put down their glasses when the Shang family members suddenly looked at Qin Shi’an with conflicted expressions.

At this moment, Eldest Master Duanmu said, “You should toast the other guests.”

With Master Duanmu saying that, the Shang family didn’t need to hesitate anymore. They walked towards the next table.

Chu Luo glanced at Qin Shi’an.

With his gaze lowered, no one could tell what Qin Shi’an was thinking. However, Chu Luo could feel his forbearance.

Chu Luo retracted her gaze and prepared to eat something first.

Eldest Master Qin raised his glass at Li Yan.

Chu Luo pulled over the empty bowl in front of Li Yan and picked up half a bowl of food for him. “Yan, don’t drink as soon as you get here. Eat something to fill your stomach first.”

Li Yan didn’t even look at Eldest Master Qin. He responded with an “Mm” and picked up his chopsticks to eat.

He probably felt that the food tasted good, so he picked up his chopsticks and picked up some for Chu Luo.

“You like this.”

Chu Luo picked it up and chewed it slowly before nodding at him.

Li Yan scooped half a bowl of soup for her.

The two of them flaunted their love as if no one was around, making Eldest Master Duanmu have no chance to toast.

Eldest Master Duanmu was a little angry. He quickly gave Duanmu Zhixuan a look, asking her to think of a way to take Chu Luo away quickly.

Duanmu Zhixuan nodded at him quietly and subconsciously took a bite of the dish Chu Luo and Li Yan was eating.

Qin Shi’an, who was sitting at the side, had been paying attention to the Duanmu family. How could he not know their actions in private?

He gestured to the table beside them with his hands behind his back, not caring if the people at the table saw him or not. He also started eating.

The other tables were all drinking and chatting, especially the tables where the groom and bride toasted. There would be shouts and jeers coming from that table and nearby, and it was extremely lively.

On the other hand, Chu Luo’s table was simply an anomaly.

Even so, all the tables nearby were keeping a keen eye on them, wanting to find an excuse to toast them.

Before the bride and groom could finish toasting, Chu Luo was already full.

She had just put down her chopsticks when Shang Yun brought two other girls over to invite her and Duanmu Zhixuan. “Sister Duanmu, Chu Luo, are you done eating? Let’s go over there and play.”

Duanmu Zhixuan put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth with a tissue. She nodded. “I’m full.”

With that, she stood up.

However, Chu Luo didn’t 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. She wondered if she had not taught this woman enough lessons last time, that was why she dared to be so impudent in front of her.

At this moment, Shang Yun pointed at a table and said to Chu Luo, “Chu Luo, Miss Wu is also coming with us. Come on, we’ll be over there.”

As she spoke, she pointed to the left side of the banquet, where a row of low trees separated them.

“There’s a pool over there and a garden beside it. It’s not a bad idea for us to talk and take a stroll.”

Chu Luo tilted her head to look at Wu Yiyao and realized that she had indeed stood up.

However, the person who invited Wu Yiyao was a girl she didn’t know.

“Who is that?”

“Who?” Shang Yun only reacted after two seconds. She smiled and told her, “That’s my cousin. Her name is Miao Ke. She happens to be Miss Wu’s student.”

Chu Luo raised her eyebrows but didn’t say anything else.

At this moment, Wu Yiyao seemed to have sensed her gaze and tilted her head to look over.

Then, she walked towards Chu Luo.

Chu Luo sized up Wu Yiyao’s expression and asked, “Sister Wu, how much wine did you drink?”

Wu Yiyao fanned herself with her palm and said with a smile, “Not much. I only drank one glass, but the effects of alcohol show on my face quickly.”

Then, she introduced the girl who had come over with her to Chu Luo. “This is my student, Miao Ke. I didn’t expect her to be a relative of the Shang family.”

When Miao Ke saw Chu Luo, she looked so excited that she wanted to scream. She cupped her hands around her face and said, “Chu Luo, I didn’t expect you to attend my cousin’s wedding tonight. If I had known, I would have definitely come to look for you and come with you today.”

Chu Luo only nodded at her.

Shang Yun smiled and patted Miao Ke’s shoulder. She teased, “Keke, you look like you’ve seen your idol. Don’t faint later.”

Miao Ke giggled.

As they spoke, Qin Meng, Qin Xin, and the other women walked over.

Shang Yun quickly said, “Then let’s go over there first. We can let the men drink.”

Everyone walked over.

As Chu Luo left, she glanced at the wine glass in front of Li Yan. When Li Yan felt her gaze and looked up at her, she smiled at him and walked away with everyone.

The Shang family had put in a lot of effort for this wedding. In this kind of winter, they had built many large glass rooms outdoors. The inside was warm enough, and they weren’t afraid of anyone touching it.

When everyone walked to the pool, they realized that the pool was filled with floating flower petals. They were so surprised that they started discussing loudly.

“Wow, such a big pool is filled with flower petals. Are we going to soak in a flower petal bath?”

“Definitely not. It’s not good to wear a bathing suit to swim on such an occasion. What if a group of men comes…”

“Hehe… Isn’t it better if they come? In any case, only those who aren’t confident wouldn’t dare to wear a bathing suit.”

…

The ladies from the Shang family seemed to be deliberately keeping everyone in suspense. They allowed everyone to discuss but didn’t immediately explain.

Chu Luo and Wu Yiyao stood together and didn’t participate in their discussion.

At this moment, Miao Ke walked up to Chu Luo and Wu Yiyao and whispered to them mysteriously, “Teacher Wu, Chu Luo, do you know why there are so many flowers in the swimming pool?”

Wu Yiyao smiled and shook her head. “I don’t know. Why?”

“Because of my cousin-in-law’s custom.”

“Custom? There’s such a custom in the empire?”

Wu Yiyao was curious.

Chu Luo thought for a while and said affirmatively, “The bride is from XX Clan.”

“That’s right, that’s right. Chu Luo, you’re too smart. My sister-in-law said that there are only about a hundred people in XX Clan. No one has usually heard of them. I didn’t expect Chu Luo to know.”

“I’ve seen it in books before.”

Just as Chu Luo finished speaking, Shang Yun told everyone why there were flowers in the swimming pool.

“This is a custom from my sister-in-law’s clan. Placing flowers represents my cousin’s loyalty to my sister-in-law… It means that out of three thousand beauties, he only takes one ladle. Before my brother and sister-in-law hold their wedding, my brother will take a ladle of water to their wedding room.”

“Wow, although I’ve never heard of this clan, this custom is really romantic. I’m so envious.”

The other girls looked envious.

Wu Yiyao suddenly asked Chu Luo, “Little Chu, do you think it’s really this meaning? Why do I feel strange?”
