Chapter 925 - Bouquet Toss (1/2)
Lin Yehan was carrying Little Jun as the toddler cheered for his Uncle Dom, not for his own mother. Although the little guy had no idea what was going on, his adorable giggles indicated that he was having fun watching the entertaining scene playing in front of him.
On the far side stood the best friends Long Jinjing and Chen Fei. Long Jinjing felt shy just by the idea of catching the bouquet so she stood a little behind her best friend. She looked like she had no intention of trying to catch the bouquet at all.
Chen Fei also had no interest in the bouquet and the implication of catching it but she was a competitive person. Just seeing the triplets Dom, Meimei and Clover all gearing up to catch the bouquet ignited her own fighting spirit. She planned on catching the bouquet just because she liked to win and not because she believed in the crap about being the next one to marry.
Then a booming voice suddenly started cheering for a certain someone.
”Jinjing, my girl! You have to catch the bouquet and marry my pinheaded grandson next! Why are you standing there at the very back? I want to know! Go to the front so you'll have a higher chance of catching the bouquet! Come on, my girl! Grandpa believes in you!”
Long Jinjing turned a deep shade of crimson. She felt so embarrassed that she wanted to run away but couldn't because she didn't want to ruin her sister's bouquet toss by being a killjoy.
Chen Fei turned around. ”Don't overthink it. Just have fun.”
”Y-yes. You're right.”
Long Jinjing took a few deep breaths and stepped forward so that Grandpa Lu wouldn't complain anymore about her standing too far in the back.
At the front, Iris also felt entertained. She waved the bouquet a little, trying to figure out how much force to put in her throw. It was quite heavy for a bouquet so she would need to put more strength when throwing it behind her.
”Are you ready?”
”Yes, boss! My gorgeous and fabulous self is all ready to catch that beautiful bouquet! Maybe if I do, my future lover will finally appear and give me my happily ever after! Ehehehe~”
Clover stuck her tongue at her brother. ”Sorry, Big Bro. The bouquet will be mine! Maybe I'll be able to meet a hot Frenchman who'll become my husband when I return to France this weekend.”
”Momsy will beat you with her deadly slippers if you marry too early!”
Clover had no retort to that because their fearsome mother would really do that.
”I'll be the one to get the bouquet!” Meimei declared but nobody believed her because she looked like she was about to fall asleep on her feet.
Yu Mo was recording everything on video.
”Alright, I'm going to throw the bouquet now in 3…”
Iris closed her eyes.
”2…”
She went into a pitching position.
”1!”
She threw the bouquet like a baseball while her eyes were still closed.
The bouquet barrelled like an unstable rocket in the air. There was nobody in the direction that it was flying.
