Liu He looked into the distance and chuckled, "All the guests are here, mostly relatives of the Gong Family and some of the old man’s friends."
"This..." Lin Zhiyi exclaimed in surprise.
"Do you think the Bai Family can still invite people? Those who came are all giving face to the old man."
Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi was stunned for a few seconds.
Liu He slowly stood up and said, "What are you thinking? It’s about time, let’s go in. I guess there will be quite a show to watch."
Lin Zhiyi supported her and whispered, "Mom, don’t you think it’s strange? The old man loves face, how could he let Gong Yao marry so quietly? A grand family wedding seems like a family affair, but the people you meet and the conversations you have at the banquet are a social event."
Old Mr. Gong has always wanted to support Gong Yao, so why waste this opportunity?
Although Liu He understood Lin Zhiyi’s doubts, she couldn’t figure it out either.
"Then I better not watch the show later, find a secluded place to stay out of trouble."
"Hmm."
Lin Zhiyi helped her into the hotel.
She also wanted to see what kind of drama would unfold today.
The hotel’s exterior was simply decorated, but the hall inside was quite luxurious.
At least ordinary people wouldn’t use tens of thousands of flowers to cover the hall.
After seating Liu He, Lin Zhiyi spotted Gong Chen in the crowd.
He seemed to notice her too and turned to look her way.
Then he looked down at his phone.
A few seconds later, Lin Zhiyi’s phone buzzed.
She took out her phone, and it was a message from Gong Chen.
"Sit a bit farther later."
"Why?"
After sending the message, Lin Zhiyi looked up at Gong Chen.
Gong Chen glanced at her and then at the corner of the hall where the bride’s dressing room was.
"Fight."
"..."
"The food’s good, watch while you eat," Gong Chen advised.
"Makes sense."
Lin Zhiyi opened her emoji menu, preparing to choose one of a cat snickering.
But then Liu He accidentally nudged her arm, and she selected a cat licking its lips suggestively asking for a kiss.
Utterly lewd.
Lin Zhiyi quickly retracted it.
Just as she was relieved by her quick reaction, Gong Chen sent her an emoji too.
For someone too lazy to type extra words, he actually collected emojis?
A little person with wide eyes on it, with "I saw it" written above.
Lin Zhiyi pretended not to see it, scared to reply.
The ceremony dragged on but finally started.
The couple entered, Gong Yao was handsome in his suit, dashing as ever.
Bai Ruoshu’s wedding dress was exquisite and luxurious, making her look stunningly beautiful.
Lin Zhiyi, like everyone else, was captivated.
Soon after, she received another message from Gong Chen.
"Like it?"
"Like it? No woman doesn’t like seeing a beautiful dress."
"I’ll buy you a better one."
"I’ll buy it myself," Lin Zhiyi refused.
"You buy yours, I’ll give mine, after all, it’s all earned for you."
Upon reading it, Lin Zhiyi couldn’t help but smile.
She glanced up to find Gong Chen looking at her.
His deep gaze stirred her heart in rhythm with the music, wildly beating.
It felt like a string connecting them, controlled by him, teasing her emotions.
She lowered her eyes, letting her smile spread.
Just then, the MC started speaking.
"... Now, please welcome the parents of the newlyweds."
Old Mr. Gong and Yang Jingwei took the stage to applause.
Liu He covered her mouth with a smile, "Looks like Fu Xiuzhu didn’t succeed in her fight; not even on stage for her son’s wedding."
