Xuxu could feel the atmosphere getting strained, so she patted Su Yue’s hand gently . “Alright . There is no point in studying so much as well . If he continues with his Ph . D . and work at the same time, he wouldn’t have time for you and Xiaojiao . ”
“That’s true . ” Su Yue nodded and her heart was aching . “He is really busy for the past year, and he kept losing weight no matter how much he ate . He’s tired both mentally and physically . ”
The expression in Xuxu’s eyes flickered, and she steered the conversation . “Why isn’t Zhou Shuang here with Xiaojiao?”
She glanced at the door .
A towering figure walked in at that moment with the little girl .
Xuxu rose with a bright smile . She lifted the train of her gown and quickly strode to the little girl . “Xiaojiao!”
“Call her Xuxu,” Yan Rusheng instructed Xiaojiao with a sly gleam in his eyes .
Xuxu threw a disapproving glare at him before turning to Xiaojiao . “Don’t listen to Uncle . Call me Aunt . ”
Xiaojiao was admiring Xuxu’s gown with her eyes wide . She clapped happily and exclaimed, “Aunt is a bride! Pretty!”
The girl’s compliments delighted Xuxu and she pulled her from Yan Rusheng . “Let me carry you . ”
“Third Brother, you are really handsome today,” Su Yue complimented Yan Rusheng loudly .
She sat on the chair and her eyes were surveying him from top to toe . She seemed lost in her thoughts .
Her eyes rested on his face and she became still .
“I’m always handsome,” replied Yan Rusheng without a hint of embarrassment .
Su Yue rolled her eyes at him . “And always vain . ”
Yan Rusheng smiled before he turned around .
The wedding was about to start and he had plenty to do .
“Oh, no!”
Yan Rusheng had just walked out of the makeup room when the wedding planner came running to him . He was panting and trying to catch his breath .
“What’s wrong?” asked Yan Rusheng .
The wedding planner said, “Mr . Lu’s youngest daughter fell from the stage and she cut her face . She is bleeding badly . ”
Yan Rusheng was shocked, and he probed, “Why did it happen? Have you sent her to the hospital?”
He marched quickly towards the wedding hall .
“We have already sent her . ” The wedding planner rattled on . “But the wedding is starting and Lu Yinan is the best man . ”
“Hmmm…” Yan Rusheng halted his footsteps . “See if you can find a replacement . ”
The wedding planner replied, “I’ve already asked your mother and she is asking around . But she said that those who are already married cannot be the best man or bridesmaid . ”
F*ck! He was supposed to find a single man to be his best man at the eleventh hour?!
Yan Rusheng was rather anxious too, and he furrowed his eyebrows as he thought hard . He turned to the wedding planner and said, “I’ll find someone . ”
He strode swiftly into the hall .
The guests were huddled in groups and were all engaged in conversations .
Children’s voices and laughter could be heard, too .
Yan Rusheng’s eyes darted around, looking as though he was looking for someone in specific .
“Third Yan, Lu Yinan brought Yanyan to the hospital . What should we do without a best man? The wedding is starting soon . ” Mu Li strode towards him, looking jittery .
It was her precious son’s wedding, and she was wearing a flamboyant wine-red embroidered cheongsam for the occasion . Although she was past sixty, she still looked attractive and gorgeous .
No one could tell her real age from her back .
Yan Rusheng glanced at Mu Li and asked, “Where is Ming Ansheng?”
“He…” Mu Li uttered a word but wasn’t able to manage to finish her sentence .
Yan Rusheng had just spotted Ming Ansheng in the crowd .
