Ling Nuan was taken aback for a moment.
Huo Linsheng's sudden remark seemed to come out of the blue.
However, she felt quite pleased inside.
She touched the flower beside her ear without taking it off, pretending to be reserved. "Why are you saying this all of a sudden?"
Huo Linsheng hugged her and smiled. "So you don't have to envy others."
Hearing this, Ling Nuan's ears turned red. She seemed a bit annoyed and glared at Huo Linsheng fiercely.
Huo Linsheng wasn't the least bit intimidated. He even leaned over and kissed her cheek.
Ling Nuan waved him away with a look of disgust. "I've put on makeup. Aren't you afraid of getting dirty by eating the cosmetics?"
Huo Linsheng raised his eyebrows and retorted, "Have I eaten less of it?"
He deliberately reached out and tapped her lips gently.
Ling Nuan didn't want to pay any attention to Huo Linsheng anymore. This guy spoke without restraint and didn't care about the occasion at all!
Thankfully, everyone was booing the bride and groom at the moment, so no one was paying attention to what the on - lookers beside them were talking about.
After the groom picked up the bride, they headed to the villa where the wedding was held.
Before the wedding ceremony started, Ling Nuan went to the bride's room and chatted with the bride and bridesmaids. They had bonded over drinks at the bar last night, so Ling Nuan easily blended in.
During the chat, Ling Nuan casually asked, "How did you come up with the idea of using Super Mario for the game?"
Monica laughed. "I met him because of Super Mario. So when planning the wedding, I thought this element must be added."
They had searched several venues before finally deciding on the hotel.
Monica said, "A wedding is a major event in life, so I want everything I desire!"
Ling Nuan felt a bit envious.
The morning part had the Super Mario element she wanted, and the afternoon would be a romantic wedding in a castle.
If she had laughed so hard in the morning that her face hurt, then the afternoon wedding was all about the romantic atmosphere. Monica was wearing her custom - made wedding dress. On the T - stage, they met in the sea of flowers in the castle.
Adrian saw Monica in her wedding dress for the first time. He completely forgot about the wedding process. The moment his bride appeared, he rushed towards Monica. Seeing him running, Monica also lifted her dress and ran towards her groom.
When the two embraced, there were waves of cheers from the audience.
After the embrace, Adrian didn't forget to bow to the guests like a gentleman to thank them for their blessings.
After that, the rest of the wedding process more or less followed the original plan.
When they exchanged rings, they had a mutual confession. Ling Nuan couldn't understand, so she tugged at Huo Linsheng's sleeve and asked, "What did they say?"
Huo Linsheng replied, "Why are you so curious about other people's wedding vows?"
Ling Nuan didn't say a word and just stared at him.
Huo Linsheng surrendered first and started to translate. "They said that their fate lies in meeting each other. They are honored to have chosen each other under this fate. Love has nothing to do with anything else, only the two of them."
Ling Nuan's eyes flickered.
She felt a bit - guilty.
Compared with the newly - weds in front of her, her relationship with Huo Linsheng was far from pure.
However, Ling Nuan soon didn't have the mind to think about these things.
The bride was going to throw the bouquet!
All the young unmarried girls rushed forward. Whether they wanted to get married or not, they just wanted to have some fun.
Ling Nuan didn't go.
Although she also wanted to get it.
Of course, it wasn't because she wanted to get married. It was because if she got the bouquet and took a photo with Monica, Huo Xiao would probably be extremely angry if she saw it.
But thinking that this little thought was really disrespectful to Monica's wedding, Ling Nuan just thought about it and then gave up. This bouquet with the bride's blessing should be given to someone else!
However, Huo Linsheng noticed the fleeting desire in Ling Nuan's eyes.
"Do you want it?" Huo Linsheng asked.
Ling Nuan let out an "ah" sound and shook her head. "No."
"Let's go." Huo Linsheng directly pulled Ling Nuan. He not only pushed Ling Nuan into the group of girls competing for the bouquet but also joined them himself.
As soon as Huo Linsheng showed up, the other girls were in an uproar.
"This is blatant cheating!"
So the girls with boyfriends called their boyfriends, and those without boyfriends called their male friends.
The scene became lively again.
Monica didn't mind at all that there were so many men competing for the bride's bouquet. Watching everyone gather together, she smiled and threw the bouquet into the air.
Ling Nuan's desire wasn't very strong. She didn't really rush forward to grab it. She just reached out her hand for fun when the bouquet came in her direction.
The bouquet finally landed in Huo Linsheng's hand.
He then handed it to Ling Nuan.
No one found it strange. What would a man do with a bouquet? Of course, he would give it to his girlfriend.
Everyone cheered and blessed them.
They even booed.
Ling Nuan couldn't understand, but she could roughly imagine what they were booing about.
She held the bouquet in her hands. At this moment, she completely forgot why she wanted the bouquet in the first place. Thinking that it was snatched by Huo Linsheng for her, all she felt was joy.
"Can I ask for a little reward?" Huo Linsheng asked, looking down at her.
Ling Nuan looked puzzled. Then, she saw Huo Linsheng's approaching face.
Amid the booing, Huo Linsheng kissed her.
At that moment, the cheers around them grew louder. In a daze, Ling Nuan felt as if she was also the protagonist of this wedding.
Surrounded by so many people, Huo Linsheng's kiss was brief.
After the cheers, everyone quickly shifted their attention back to the newly - weds of the day.
Monica liked Ling Nuan very much and invited her to take photos together.
Ling Nuan didn't refuse. But when she looked at the bouquet in her hand, she paused for a moment and handed it to Huo Linsheng. "Please keep it for me."
Huo Linsheng raised his eyebrows. "Don't take it for the photos?"
Ling Nuan shook her head. "No."
Although her relationship with Huo Linsheng wasn't pure enough, she still hoped to keep something pure.
The blessing of the newly - weds and Huo Linsheng's kindness. This time, she didn't want to use it to anger Huo Xiao. It seemed that doing so would defile this bouquet with special meaning.
Even without the bouquet, the photos of Ling Nuan at Monica's wedding still made Huo Xiao extremely angry.
She could have just not looked, but she just had to torture herself by looking for traces of Ling Nuan.
After looking at the photos, she went crazy and cried, completely on the verge of a breakdown.
Huo Xiao wasn't the only one who saw the photos.
Meng Shuluo accidentally saw photos of other friends at Monica's wedding.
At first, she didn't pay much attention and just chatted with her friend for a few words. It wasn't until her friend said, "Shuluo, have you seen Huo Linsheng's girlfriend?"
"Huo Linsheng's girlfriend?" Meng Shuluo was a bit surprised.
The friend replied, "It's the woman standing on Monica's left in the group photo."
Meng Shuluo clicked on the photo. When her gaze fell on Ling Nuan in the photo, her eyes suddenly fixed.
"What's her name?" Meng Shuluo asked.
"Her name seems to be - Ling Nuan?" the friend replied.
Meng Shuluo's fingertips landed on Ling Nuan's face on the phone screen.
She ended the chat with her friend and dialed a phone number.
"Help me check on a girl named Ling Nuan. Check everything about her family in detail. Do it as soon as possible."
