C80 (1/2)
After a while of drinking, Gu Chen's eloquent speech dismissed those who were surrounding them. In truth, those people only wanted to say hello to the couple, but seeing them so bored, they felt too embarrassed to stay here any longer. After staying for a while, they left as well.
Gu Chen and Jane Chu sat on a white bench. The wedding ceremony was in the open, and even though the weather was good and the sun's temperature had risen, it was still autumn and there was still a hint of coolness.
”Are you all right? Isn't it a little cold? ”
As he spoke, Gu Chen took off his silver-gray suit jacket, intending to drape it over Jian Chen's body. You can't freeze your beloved woman just because of a wedding. If that's not worth it, you might as well not come!
Jane hurriedly stopped the man's actions and said, ”I'm not cold. There are so many people, it's so lively! Besides, I'm wearing a windbreaker, how could I be cold? Wear it properly. If I'm cold, I'll naturally ask for your clothes. ”
Gu Chen smiled and tapped the tip of her nose, saying softly, ”You torturous little demoness.”
The two of them sat on a bench for a while, before an old man with white hair came to stand in front of Gu Chen. Although he appeared to be a bit old, his figure was still tall and straight, and he appeared to be in quite a good mental state. I have two things I want to say to you. ”
When he heard that the old man had something to talk about with Gu Chen, he immediately stood up with a smile and replied, ”I'll go over to eat something first. You two can talk.”
Just as Jane was about to shift her body, her hand was grabbed by the warm palm. She turned around and saw Gu Chen's concerned expression. Naturally, Jane knew that he was worried that something like that would happen again. She laughed and pulled back her hand, then used her finger to lightly draw a sign of love on the palm of the man's hand. In a voice that only two people could hear, she said, ”Rest assured, what else can happen to me in broad daylight here? ”You guys hurry up and talk. After you're done, remember to come find me.”
Gu Chen looked around and saw that most of the people here were well-known aristocrats, and he knew most of them. He guessed that there wouldn't be any problems, so he reluctantly let go of Jane's delicate hands and whispered into the woman's ear, ”Be a bit more obedient, I'll go find you when I'm done with my work. Let's go over there and try some pastries. They're pretty good.”
There weren't many people there, and most of them were still surrounding the cocktail lounge. Those who came here were all from famous families and big families, many of them were disdainful of the pastries, and most of them were willing to taste the wine. However, Jane at first would never doubt Gu Chen's judgment. If he said that the pastry area was tasty, then it would definitely be of the highest standard! Sure enough, after the jujube cake was swallowed, Jane was immediately attracted by the rich jujube fragrance mixed with the milky fragrance. It was indeed delicious, but she didn't know who exactly the chef was making all this.
Jane was initially greedy. She picked up another piece of cake and carefully put it in her mouth. The cake melted instantly and the taste was soft and smooth. It was really urgent! She had lived for so many years and eaten a lot of pastries, but this time, it was really one of the best.
Perhaps it was the new season, but she did not have much appetite. She had lost a few catties of weight recently, and eating two more pieces of cake would make up for her loss of meat. Gu Chen was less worried now.
As Jane was stuffing the cake into her mouth, a familiar female voice came from behind her, ”Aiyo! Isn't this my sister! ”He came but didn't know he was looking for me. He's even secretly eating pastries here!”
Jane quickly turned her head and saw a beautiful woman wearing a white wedding dress standing behind her with an evil smile on her face. Her white teeth gleamed in the sunlight. This was her younger sister, Mu You You.
Mu You You looked at Jian Chen with malice in her eyes. When she saw how beautiful and moving Jian Chen's clothes were, her anger intensified. Today was obviously her wedding, so why was this woman wearing such a beautiful outfit? Wasn't this intentionally making life difficult for her! How hateful!
”Sister, I'm finally going to marry Li Dong. Aren't you going to bless me?”
Mu You You purposefully said Li Dong's name out loud so that Jane could be jealous, but she didn't expect that Jane would be jealous. If it was before, she might have been angry, but now, with the person who loved her the most, the so-called dispute between feelings no longer mattered. There was still one more point, which was that Li Dong's name had slipped away from her heart.
Hearing her sister's words, Jane immediately replied, ”How can I not bless you? Of course I want to wish them well. It wasn't easy for the two of you along the way. Now that you have finally cultivated successfully, it's naturally a good thing! I hope that the two of you can be good friends in the future. ”
”I don't know if you're sincere or not, but I'll take it now.”
”…”
Jane curled her lips but did not say anything. She knew that today was Mu You You's wedding, so she did not want to cause a ruckus. Everything from before was already past, and now that everyone had a better life, she did not want to fuss about it anymore. After all, they had known each other for so many years, so whether their relationship was good or bad was not particularly important.
