"Xi'er, how are you?"

Lin Youyou rushed over and pushed Song Yiming away, pulling Qin Xier up. Qin Xier was both ashamed and indignant, but dared not say anything. Today was Nanzhi's wedding, and she couldn't be the one to spoil the fun.

"No, it's nothing."

Looking down at her toes, Qin Xi'er spoke softly.

Song Yiming also got up at this moment. He scratched his head awkwardly and looked at the others around him.

Lian Jin was focused on Lin Youyou, so he didn't have time to observe the interaction between Song Yiming and Qin Xier.

Needless to say, Shen Xingmian's gaze was entirely fixed on the girl sitting on the bed, and he didn't care about paying attention to anyone else.

Only Hu Lai looked at the two of them in surprise, "Song Yiming, did you do this on purpose?"

Song Yiming glanced at him indifferently and said nothing.

Upon hearing Hu Lai's words, Qin Xi'er immediately lowered her head even further. Hu Lai, oblivious to her tact, continued:

"You're so shameless! Xi'er is just a young girl... mmm mmm."

Before he could finish speaking, Song Yiming rushed over and covered Hu Lai's mouth, gritting his teeth as he said:

"I think you want your mom to come and keep you company."

Hu Lai's eyes widened immediately. No way! His mother was a devil, a workaholic. If she got hold of him, he'd be at her mercy.

Even for this wedding, Hu Lai's mother and Ji Fan couldn't make it because of work commitments in the US.

Hu Lai dared not say anything more.

So Anran reached out for the red envelope.

"The bride can't be handed over to you so easily, where's the red envelope?"

Shen Xingmian gave Hu Lai a wink, and Hu Lai immediately pulled out all the red envelopes from his pockets, which were bulging. An Ran frowned. What were these things? They didn't look like money.

So she accepted one, opened it, and was almost blinded by its brilliance—damn, it was a diamond!

Her astonishment was undisguised. Hu Lai looked at her smugly, "This is the first time you've seen such a big diamond, isn't it? You're really naive."

An Ran looked at him with a smile, not angry at all, but instead said kindly:

"Of course, sir. What is your surname?"

Hu Lai felt even more pleased, and his expression became inscrutable. "My surname is Hu, and my name is Hu Lai."

An Ran: ".......Pfft hahahaha......."

An Ran couldn't help but laugh. How could this name be so funny? Hearing her laugh at him so unrestrainedly, Hu Lai was furious. He said calmly:

"Don't even think about getting close to me. I'll give the rest of the red envelopes to Xi'er and Youyou."

As he spoke, he emptied his bulging pockets, which contained cash and diamonds.

He was about to walk towards Qin Xi'er and Lin Youyou when An Ran quickly blocked his way. "Mr. Hu, you absolutely can't do that. I only said that because I thought the name was very unique."

That diamond had already broadened her horizons enough, and now that Hu Lai had brought out so many more, An Ran was bound to ask for an even bigger red envelope.

Hu Lai's mood improved a bit, and with a touch of arrogance, she handed An Ran a few more red envelopes, saying, "Here, consider this a handout."

An Ran: "..." For the sake of money, she could endure it.

After receiving the gifts, An Ran was satisfied, and Hu Lai gave the rest to Lin Youyou and Qin Xier.

Shen Xingmian walked straight to Nanzhi, who was sitting on the bed with her head covered by a red veil, saying nothing.

At this moment, Shen Xingmian sat next to her, raised his hand, and removed her veil. Nan Zhi smiled, her eyebrows curved, and her eyes sparkled. She was extremely beautiful.

Shen Xingmian's lips curved upwards, and her gaze towards Nanzhi softened, filled with affection. She said:

"Zhizhi, you are so beautiful."

Nanzhi: "......"

Shen Xingmian rarely said such things, and Nanzhi blushed a little.

"Xingmian, it's time to go."

Song Yiming glanced at the time on his wristwatch and urged him on.

Shen Xingmian glanced at Nan Zhi and then tried to lift her down to the ground.

An Ran immediately stopped her, "Hey? Wait, wait, not yet."

All eyes turned to her, and An Ran, without blushing or panting, spoke:

"The bride's embroidered shoes are missing. You can only take her away after you find them."

Everyone: "......."

Hu Lai glared angrily at An Ran, "You're a toxic woman! You've already taken the money, and you're still causing trouble here."

An Ran remained unmoved, not even deigning to glance at him.

Hu Lai: "..." She felt insulted. She had just been so attentive to him, and now she was ignoring him. She was a scumbag.

An Ran, who was being labeled a "scumbag woman," was completely unaware of this. At that moment, she was watching a man who had come to pick her up for the wedding with great interest. "I'm telling the truth. If you can't find her, you can't expect Nan Zhi to go out barefoot, can you?"

Shen Xingmian glanced at An Ran indifferently, his expression turning somewhat sharp, making An Ran feel intimidated.

Nan Zhi reached out and tugged at the man's dark red wedding robe, giving him a wink. Shen Xingmian could only sigh helplessly in the end.

"Go ahead and look for it."

Song Yiming, Lian Jin, and Hu Lai resigned themselves to their fate and began searching for the embroidered shoes.

I searched every corner of the bedroom, but I still couldn't find the embroidered shoes.

"Damn, there isn't one at all!"

Song Yiming cursed under his breath.
