Chapter 508 - I Was More than Excited (1)
Mrs. Luo gazed at Luo Xiaoxi’s happy face, feeling an urge to cry. “Oh, look at her. She’s so excited…”
Su Jianan smiled. She was probably the only one who knew very well why Luo Xiaoxi was really excited like this.
In her eyes, it was hard to love a person’s heart and soul for over 10 years.
She thought that only a few girls could keep pursuing a man for over 10 years, regardless of what they would receive in return.
However, Luo Xiaoxi actually made it. She had not only kept pursuing Su Yicheng for over 10 years, but had also made it known to everyone. She had never felt embarrassed even after being refused by him time and again.
“Just say what you want.” This had been Luo Xiaoxi’s life standard.
She never really minded whether others knew that she wanted Su Yicheng to be her boyfriend, it was because she thought that there was no disgrace in it.
Even when she was repeatedly rejected by Su Yicheng, Luo Xiaoxi had always thought to herself:
“I’ve gotten most of the things I want, like the luxurious apartment downtown, the fancy Ferrari, the latest autumn collection of designer clothes, and the brand-name limited-edition bags… that’s because I could afford them all.”
“But Su Yicheng is an exception… I just can’t simply win his heart for the time being.”
However, she was never worried about this.
She just simply told herself that she needed to work harder and keep pursuing him!
Since she’s a really troublesome person, could Su Yicheng really escape from her?
Luo Xiaoxi had focused on Su Yicheng for over 10 years with her efforts, will, and self-confidence. She was a person with immense fighting spirit.
Su Jianan couldn’t even remember how many times Su Yicheng had rejected Luo Xiaoxi over these 10 years. She had also never dared to persuade her to give up whenever she saw Luo Xiaoxi’s determined face regardless of her failures piling. Although her other friends had tried to talk her out of it.
Su Jianan knew very well that trying to get Luo Xiaoxi to give up was like asking her to admit defeat to Su Yicheng’s girlfriends.
However, admitting defeat never appeared in Luo Xiaoxi’s life. She had never intended to give up in the first place.
As for being refused by Su Yicheng…
Luo Xiaoxi simply snorted and thought, “I need no sympathy from anyone even if I’ll be refused time and again!”
“Anyway, I’m used to this. I just need to put in more effort in the future. Why do they feel pity for me when I don’t even mind? Isn’t that funny?”
Luo Xiaoxi had often felt sad every time she knew that Su Yicheng stayed together with other women. She had never once told others how she felt because she wanted to save face.
As a result, Luo Xiaoxi had always been philosophical about the relationship between their relationship in other people’s eyes, while Su Jianan was the only one who knew how Luo Xiaoxi actually felt because she had always been with her.
Su Jianan knew that Luo Xiaoxi would weep alone before telling others that “Su Yicheng has a new girlfriend” in a rather feigned and relaxed tone.
Luo Xiaoxi had once told Su Jianan that she wanted to add something to Su Yicheng’s coffee to make him sleep with her, it was because she was sure that Su Yicheng would fall in love with her by doing this. And… she also asked Su Jianan to do that to Lu Boyan.
Su Jianan thought, “Maybe we could have avoided all our useless efforts on the way of pursuing happiness if I had done what Luo Xiaoxi said back then.”
Fortunately, she and Lu Boyan had a happy ending while Luo Xiaoxi heard Su Yicheng say “I love you” as she had long dreamed of.
Therefore, she could understand why Luo Xiaoxi was extremely excited at that moment.
After seeing Su Jianan lost in her thoughts, Lu Boyan gazed at her and asked, “Did you feel excited when we were about to get our marriage licenses?”
Su Jianan deliberately pondered for a while before saying, “Frankly, I was more than excited!”
Lu Boyan raised his eyebrow. “I doubt it.”
Su Jianan snorted. “It’s just that I didn’t want you to see through me back then!”
Lu Boyan smiled with a surprised look on his face.
Meanwhile, the pastor continued, “I’m glad to hear Su Yicheng’s and Luo Xiaoxi’s marriage vows. Now, I declare the wedding ceremony closed. Next, the bride may throw your bouquet to the single ladies present!”
The single ladies had long looked forward to this part of the wedding. A large group of well-dressed girls cheered and ran out of the church. After seeing their thrilled actions, the others present all followed them out.
Su Jianan held Lu Boyan’s arm and walked leisurely behind the crowd.
Upon seeing all the girls who were eager to catch the bouquet, Su Jianan recalled a plot she had often seen in movies. She asked, “Do you think that Yunyun will catch the bouquet?”
Lu Boyan thought for a while and said, “That’s how it should be. Anyway… Yuechuan is of marriageable age.”
Su Jianan replied with an “oh” after she figured out his words. Then, she solemnly said, “Yeah, Yunyun is of marriageable age too!”
Only then did she notice that Su Yunjin, who was standing beside them, could hear what they had just said.
Su Jianan felt embarrassed and grabbed Lu Boyan’s hand. She hastened to say, “Aunt, we were just joking.”
Su Yunjin smiled. “That’s okay. I used to joke around like you when I was young.”
In fact, Su Jianan really wanted to check whether or not Su Yunjin would oppose Xiao Yunyun starting a relationship with Shen Yuechuan.
However, it didn’t seem that Su Yunjin would continue their conversation.
Su Jianan had to give up now; then, she focused her attention on the bridal bouquet—
Su Jianan saw Luo Xiaoxi in a white wedding dress, she was standing with her back to a group of young girls on the grass not far away. She yelled out, “Ready! Go!”
With these words, Luo Xiaoxi lobbed the white bouquet behind her. It flew over her head and toward the girls at her back, drawing a graceful arc through the air.
“Ah!”
Screams came around as the bouquet landed on a young girl’s hand. The crowd congratulated her at once. Her boyfriend was Su Yicheng’s friend, who was also present at the scene.
Seeing that, Su Yicheng’s friends began to yell and push the girl’s boyfriend forward. “Han Sheng, seize this chance! Why don’t you take out your ring and propose to her?”
Luo Xiaoxi walked up to the girl and whispered to her, “Do you want your boyfriend to do it? If yes, just keep silent and let him go ahead. If not, I’ll stop them.”
“I…” The girl bit her lip and looked down shyly, not uttering anything more.
Luo Xiaoxi instantly understood what she wanted. She motioned for the yelling gentlemen to push the girl’s boyfriend forward. And then, he knelt in front of the girl.
The girl eagerly accepted her boyfriend’s proposal.
Luo Xiaoxi wasn’t surprised at all. It was beyond her expectations that Shen Yuechuan, who was always keen on lively occasions, didn’t join them at all. It also surprised her that Xiao Yunyun seemed not to be that interested in the bridal bouquet.
She wondered, “Is Xiao Yunyun afraid to face it or is she just uninterested in getting married?”
Shen Yuechuan also shared the same doubts as her.
Shen Yuechuan walked through the crowd and headed towards Xiao Yunyun, all the while when the others were still cheering for the proposal. He asked, “Don’t you like the bouquet?”
Xiao Yunyun shrugged and said, “I don’t like white roses. I’m fond of lavender.”
“I’ve attended many weddings, but I’ve never seen any bouquets made of lavender,” Shen Yuechuan said with a teasing smile. “Dr. Xiao, I’m afraid you’ll never catch a bridal bouquet in your life.”
“Who cares? I’ll get married even if I can’t catch a bridal bouquet.” Xiao Yunyun gave Shen Yuechuan a disdainful look as she snorted, “But someone here will never get a wife without his blandishments.”
Shen Yuechuan knew that Xiao Yunyun was mocking him, but he wasn’t angry at all. He put his hand against the wall behind Xiao Yunyun to get closer to her. “Will you fall in love with me if I coax you with double blandishments?”
Xiao Yunyun calmly pushed Shen Yuechuan’s hand away. “It seems that Qin Han is better at it than you.”
Shen Yuechuan narrowed his eyes. “Do you like that yellow-haired guy?”
Xiao Yunyun yelled with disdain, “Why do you call it yellow? Are you colorblind? Qin Han’s hair is flaxen—it’s my favorite color! I’m going to dye my hair flaxen on my next leave!”
Shen Yuechuan felt an inexplicable kind of anger burn within his heart as the words “matching colors” came to his mind.
He pulled Xiao Yunyun’s hair and shouted, “How dare you?!”
“Ouch!”
Only girls could know how it felt when their hair was pulled. Xiao Yunyun felt so much pain that she didn’t dare to move. She hastened to shout, “Shen Yuechuan, do you always do this to other girls?!”
Since Shen Yuechuan thought it was fun, he pulled on Xiao Yunyun’s hair again. “I only do this to you.”
“Do you mean I should feel honored?” Xiao Yunyun got angry as she almost shed tears. “Hands off!”
Shen Yuechuan knew that he couldn’t go too far since there were many guests present. He let go of Xiao Yunyun and said, “That’s okay. I’m just kidding. Stay with me in the afternoon. Otherwise, a cheap drunk like you will get dead drunk.”
Xiao Yunyun muttered, “I’d like to practice this afternoon to hold my drinks, and it’s a good opportunity for me, isn’t it?”
Shen Yuechuan rapped Xiao Yunyun’s forehead hard with his forefinger. “Young lady, why do you want to practice for that?”
Xiao Yunyun kicked Shen Yuechuan and shouted, “To guard against a pervert like you!”
“Me? A pervert?” Shen Yuechuan sneered, thinking that she was too naive. “Young lady, you should know what could have happened to you last night if I were a pervert.” With that said, he strode away.
Xiao Yunyun looked at Shen Yuechuan’s back, thinking, “His words seem to… make sense.”
Shen Yuechuan had never taken advantage of her perilous state, even whenever they were together in one room like that night on the island, or the previous night. Although he really liked teasing her.
“Shen Yuechuan just wants to make fun of me, doesn’t he? Maybe he never really desires me.”
With these thoughts in mind, Xiao Yunyun suddenly felt upset, she even wanted to cry.
“I would rather that Shen Yuechuan really wanted me!”
