“What do you want?” Lu Huanyan cast Su Xiaojiao a disdainful glance . She was still mad at her for vying for her mommy’s affection, and so she didn’t want to talk to her .
Su Xiaojiao stretched her hand to touch her . “I’m the princess, you are the queen . ”
She said in a childish tone .
Lu Huanyan snorted coldly . “You can only be the maid . If not, I won’t play with you . Hmph! ”
They were about three and four years old, respectively, so their pronunciation still wasn’t really clear .
Xuxu had the urge to laugh when she heard their conversation . Were they going to play pretend again?
“Princess . ”
“Maid . ”
“Alright then . ”
Su Xiaojiao finally relented and agreed to become the maid . She hung her head as she stood before Lu Huanyan .
She looked so pitiful and Xuxu’s heart was aching for her . But she wouldn’t interfere when they were playing .
The three fellows held hands as they went to a corner to play .
Xuxu glanced at Ming Ansheng’s table and noticed that they were still drinking and toasting each other . Now, they were getting started on the white wine .
Several of them were as red as a tomato, and a few others looked as though they were about to collapse .
She pulled Yan Rusheng’s arm . “Let’s go over . ”
Yan Rusheng nodded . “Okay . ”
When the young masters saw Yan Rusheng and Xuxu walking towards them, they yelled, “The bride and groom are coming…”
“I… I remember that you haven’t given us a toast . ”
“Yeah… they… didn’t . I remember…”
The young masters put their arms around one another for support . If one of them lost his footing, the rest would fall too .
“Alright, let us give all of you a toast . ” Xuxu smiled and nodded . She turned around and beckoned to a waiter .
The waiter immediately came over .
Xuxu raised a glass while she passed one to Yan Rusheng . Her glass was filled with a non-alcoholic beverage .
“Thank you, young masters,” Xuxu said politely and emptied her glass .
She couldn’t drink at all, so she didn’t touch any wine .
She managed to avoid alcohol for the entire night, but it was proving to be difficult at this particular table .
“Wen Xuxu, you and Third Yan tied the knot tonight . So there is no way you are not drinking . ”
Xuxu furrowed her eyebrows and she put on a pitiful expression . “Young Masters, please spare me . All of you know I can’t hold my liquor at all . ”
“It’s fine . Actually, the more you drink, the easier it is to set the mood . ”
“Third Yan, am I right…”
Pairs of eyes darted to Yan Rusheng . He drank quite a bit and he was a little tipsy, but he still remained clear-headed .
He pretended to be drunk and lazily grinned . “Yeah . ”
Xuxu heard him and she knitted her eyebrows once more . She extended her hand sneakily to pinch Yan Rusheng’s back .
“Xuxu, let me give you a toast . ” Suddenly, the only woman at the table stood up . Hu Xiaoxiao raised her glass to Xuxu and smiled .
The atmosphere became strangely awkward in an instant .
Xuxu was startled, and she smiled weakly . “I…”
Instinctively, she stole a glance at Jiang Zhuoheng . As though it was telepathy, Jiang Zhuoheng was looking at her with a gentle smile .
This gentleness was reserved solely for her all these years .
Xuxu immediately understood and she turned towards Hu Xiaoxiao . “Sure,” readily said Xuxu .
She took Yan Rusheng’s glass and said, “Ah Sheng, I need to drink a little . If not, I won’t be able to leave tonight . ”
Yan Rusheng was pleased with her, especially at her innocent-looking expression which he loved so much .
