In the past, he was happy by her side and truly loved her. His love for her may not have been as much as hers for him, but it was genuine, which made him feel very happy.

Later on, his interest in her gradually waned; there were many reasons for this.

Chen Xueru's personality was too conservative and didn't match well with his own. Their interests were completely different, and she always accommodated him, yet they had nothing to talk about together. Gradually, he lost interest in her. Furthermore, Chen Xueru couldn't satisfy his desires during intimate moments either. These factors made him feel that she was quite uninteresting. Later on, when he met Han Bi, even the last shred of attachment towards her disappeared.

These past few years, he never deliberately sought out news about her; occasionally seeing her in small sections would make him think that this woman whom he had once abandoned wasn't happy and was also uninteresting.

This almost summed up his impression of Chen Xueru.

He had no idea that today, Chen Xueru deliberately appeared so radiant and enchanting. She was indeed beautiful both in the past and now, but she rarely smiled from her heart, making others feel oppressed by her presence.

But today's her was so bright and dazzling, truly becoming the most beautiful woman here, capturing everyone’s attention.

A sudden sense of imbalance arose within him.

This woman was someone he had abandoned. She should be living an unhappy life, a miserable existence. No matter what, she shouldn't look this radiant and enchanting. She shouldn't live better than he does.

He couldn’t help but curse her in his heart.

Gu Rui began to understand why Tang Shuwen had asked him to attend this wedding ceremony.

He knew that Tang Shuwen was aware of his past with Chen Xueru. Since he had invited him to the wedding, it implied that he didn’t mind their history, indicating that this man never cared about Chen Xueru at all. No man would invite the ex-lover of his wife to attend their wedding.

But now, he realized he was wrong.

Tang Shuwen invited him to the wedding just to let him see how happy Chen Xueru looked and to make him aware of what he had lost. Losing her was a loss for him.

This was ruthless!

He had never attended such an agonizing wedding in his life. His own woman now became someone else’s bride, and she appeared even more beautiful and captivating next to Tang Shuwen than she ever did by his side.

He had let a flower wither.

But Tang Shuwen made this withered flower bloom proudly again.

After exchanging rings, Tang Shuwen placed a gentle kiss on Chen Xueru’s lips, which stung Gu Rui's eyes.

He had many women in his life, too many to remember. But Chen Xueru always stayed in his memory—sometimes faintly and sometimes vividly. Now, seeing this scene before him made her image from the past even more vivid in his mind.

Tang Shuwen’s move was vicious; he wanted Gu Rui to never forget Chen Xueru, to regret the mistake of his youth for a lifetime. This internal torment and agony were more painful than anything else.

Tang Shuwen truly sought justice for Chen Xueru.

Gu Rui clenched his fists tightly.

After the ceremony was completed, everyone clapped. Wen Lan and Tang Si felt relieved as they were worried that something might go wrong during the wedding; fortunately, everything went smoothly.

Nian pulled on Wen Lan's sleeve, "Grandmother, I need to pee."

Wen Lan kissed him, "Alright, Grandmother will take you there."

Wen Lan took Nian to the restroom.

The bride was about to toss her bouquet of flowers. Unmarried women all went forward to catch it; Warming looked at this scene with amusement. There were so many people! She did not want to join in, but Cai Xiaojing dragged her over.

Chen Xueru threw the bouquet behind her back and surprisingly, it hit right on Warming's chest. Instinctively, she caught it; a little taken aback, could it be that she had caught it Wen Ye Fei Mo smiled, and at this moment, Warming saw him smiling as well. She awkwardly thrust the flowers into Cai Xiaojing’s arms.

"You caught it," said Warming.

Cai Xiaojing laughed, "Those with eyes could see that you got it. Looks like we will be drinking your wedding wine next."

"But shouldn't it be you getting married first Miss Cai, if you don’t get married soon, you’ll be too old," said Warming with a smile.

Cai Xiaojing called her a dead girl. Tang Mandong said, "Sister-in-law’s words are off the mark. It doesn't matter who she hits; it just so happens that it's you this time. I don’t think you will get married anytime soon."

"Exactly right!"

The bride went down to change clothes, and bridesmaids and best men guided guests to the wedding banquet hall.

Warming let Cai Xiaojing and others go ahead. She walked over to a pavilion in the park for some rest; she was feeling tired as her shoes were a little too small, and after walking around for a while, they started to chafe her feet.

She took off her shoes and let her feet rest, moving her aching legs.

Looking at the bouquet of flowers that Cai Xiaoqing had thrown to her once again, she pursed her lips. How unlucky could one get She just happened to catch the bouquet. This kind of thing didn't even bode well for her future marriage. Therefore, the saying that whoever catches the bouquet would be the next person to tie the knot was utterly unreliable.

A shadow fell over her; Warmth raised her gaze, and Ye Fei Mo had already stood beside her at some point—still wearing a poker face but with his eyes holding a warm smile. Today was his best friend's wedding day, so he was hard-pressed to keep smiling all the time.

He glanced down at her feet; her skin was finer and her heels had been rubbed raw. He bent over and picked up one of her legs, but she drew it back when he held it firmly in his hand. "Does it hurt"

Her little foot was now placed on his thigh. She always thought that her feet looked pretty—white and delicate with long slender toes painted pink—but even so, having them resting on his leg did make her feel a bit shy.

"It doesn't hurt, let go," she said as her face turned hot; she tried to pull back but he was holding tight. He massaged the swollen areas and took care not to touch any of the broken skin. "Go get new shoes."

"Where can I find another pair now Anyway it'll be fine." The dress and shoes were a set, but it seemed that she had chosen one size too small for her feet and was wearing ten-centimeter heels, so there wasn't much else to do.

Ye Fei Mo glared at her. Warmth thought: Why is he glaring I’m still in the middle of a cold war with you, how dare he look at me like that!

She took back her foot and Ye Fei Mo sat down beside her, taking the bouquet from her hand; seeing this, she said quickly, "Haha! The idea of being thrown a bouquet doesn't work. There's no way I’ll be the next one to get married—Xiaoqing should have caught it instead."

Ye Fei Mo shot her a sideways glance and smirked. She didn’t know what he was smirking about, so she ignored him. After a while, he said calmly, "I think catching the bouquet is pretty reliable."with gear and even brought along an underwater camera. With such a wonderful night sky, they were bound to see beautiful scenery."Brother, I’m going down first."Moyao nodded, "Be careful!"Moxiaobai sn...
