Ye Chuyue was arguing with Li Nanxing when she looked up and saw Song Anze with a dark face.
Just as I was about to greet him, the other person turned and left with a cold expression.
She instinctively wanted to chase after him, but Li Nanxing grabbed her wrist: "Sister Yue, the wedding isn't over yet, where are you going?"
Ye Chuyue could only stop and watch Song Anze's figure disappear through the door before she and Li Nanxing turned back.
In the bustling crowd, someone took a step back and almost bumped into Ye Chuyue. Li Nanxing quickly reached out and pulled her into his arms.
By the time she realized what was happening, the boy had already wrapped her up in his arms. His cool, aloof scent filled her nostrils. She was stunned for a moment, then pushed him away, saying, "Thank you."
She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Li Nanxing seemed a little too close to her. Even if he was trying to help her, there was no need for him to hold her so tightly.
His hot palm was pressed tightly against her waist, in an ambiguous position.
Li Nanxing smiled nonchalantly: "Sister Yue, the feast is about to begin."
Seeing his usual open and honest smile, Ye Chuyue suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Had she been overthinking things? They were buddies, after all.
The wedding banquet officially began. Gu Baiwei and Xia's parents sat at the main table, and Shen Yanqing naturally followed suit and sat down next to her, acting like the host.
Lu Ran, sitting at a table of relatives and friends not far away, watched this scene and nudged Ye Yunting, who was silent beside him: "Old Ye, what's going on? Isn't Miss Gu your wife? Why is that guy surnamed Chen always sticking to her?"
Ye Yunting had noticed them long ago. Although he had already decided to let go, he still felt uncomfortable seeing Shen Yanqing propose in public.
Thinking back to the time he married Gu Baiwei, it seemed like he had even skipped the proposal process, and he couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
No wonder she was heartbroken and fell for someone else; it was all his own fault.
But the thought of letting go completely made his heart ache again.
Listening to Lu Ran's incessant nagging in his ear in a low voice, he irritably loosened his tie: "Shut up!"
A suppressed roar made everyone at the table look at them in surprise.
Ye Yunting ignored the probing gazes and downed his wine in one gulp.
After finishing one glass, he seemed unsatisfied and simply picked up the whole bottle and poured it into his mouth.
"Holy crap, Lao Ye, are you crazy? This is high-proof liquor."
Lu Ran reached out to snatch the bottle from Ye Yunting's hand, but before he could even touch it, Ye Yunting shoved him away, saying, "Get lost!"
The imposing shout startled the others at the table, causing their expressions to change slightly as they looked at them as if they were crazy.
Lu Ran was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He shouldn't have said that. Why couldn't he control his loose tongue?
At this moment, a hand with red rhinestone-studded nail polish placed on the back of Ye Yunting's hand: "Handsome, drinking is bad for your health, you should drink less."
Ye Yunting, his eyes blurry with drunkenness, looked up and saw only the woman's bright red lips opening and closing.
She bent down slightly, leaned closer, and whispered in his ear, her breath sweet as orchids: "How about we make a deal? I'll help you get the person you want, how about that?"
...
Gu Baiwei vaguely heard a familiar voice. She looked up and followed the direction of the sound, only to see a drunk man being helped away by a slender woman wearing a sexy red bodycon dress and high heels.
The man's arm was draped over the woman's body, and the woman's fair, manicured fingers affectionately held the man's waist. Their bodies were pressed tightly together in an ambiguous posture.
She couldn't help but frown. This man was in such a hurry at someone else's wedding; he was clearly no good.
At this moment, Ye Sinian, dressed in a dark red suit, walked over with Xia Shihan.
Xia Shihhan's belly wasn't showing yet, and she was slender. The fitted dark red cheongsam with gold trim accentuated her figure, making her look even more exquisite.
Both of them had fair skin to begin with, and the festive red color made their skin appear even more flawless, like a perfect couple.
Gu Baiwei couldn't help but sigh, her silly son was truly blessed.
Next came the toasting ceremony. Gu Baiwei didn't know many people, so Ye Sinian basically led her to toast, and she was just a figurehead.
When the three of them went to offer toasts, Shen Yanqing followed naturally to the side. Ye Sinian frowned when he saw Shen Yanqing acting like the host. He was about to speak when Xia Shihan tugged at his sleeve, and he swallowed the words that were about to come out.
Normally, during a wedding, the parents should lead the newlyweds to toast each table of elders, but because of Shen Yanqing's presence, the toasting process seems to have been reversed.
At each table, the seated people stood up and vied to toast Shen Yanqing, their attitudes extremely enthusiastic, as if he were the protagonist of today's wedding.
After the round, Shen Yanqing had drunk quite a bit, while the other three hadn't drunk much.
Seeing that he was unsteady on his feet, Gu Baiwei quickly helped him to the corridor. She was thinking of calling Datou to take him home, but before she could even take out her phone, her wrist was tightly gripped: "Weiwei, can I come to your place tonight?"
A hint of rouge tinged the corners of his eyes, and his shirt collar was slightly undone, revealing his delicate collarbone. His usually meticulously combed hair was also somewhat disheveled, giving him a more unruly air compared to his usual refined and composed demeanor, making him seem like a bewitching enchantress.
She felt as if a ball of fire was burning in her chest, and her mouth was inexplicably dry.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Ye Chuyue's voice: "Li Nanxing, why are you showing off if you can't drink?"
Following the sound, they saw Ye Chuyue dragging Li Nanxing toward the restroom at the other end of the corridor.
Li Nanxing seemed to be drunk; two bright red patches on her fair cheeks were quite striking. With her eyes half-open, she struggled to stand up straight: "Who...who said I can't drink?"
He gently pushed Ye Chuyue aside and stood up straight while holding onto the wall: "Sister Yue, look... I can still walk in a straight line."
He staggered forward, but after a few steps his legs gave way and he collapsed.
"Depend on!"
Ye Chuyue kicked his leg, only to find that he had already started snoring and was sleeping very peacefully.
She couldn't help but roll her eyes, and when she looked up, she saw two people standing not far away, and immediately felt as if she had been granted a pardon.
"Auntie, come help me, this idiot is so heavy."
Gu Baiwei glanced at Shen Yanqing: "Can you wait for me here?"
"You're not allowed to go!"
The drunken Shen Yanqing seemed a bit unreasonable; he tightly wrapped one arm around Gu Baiwei's waist and refused to let go.
Having no other option, Gu Baiwei had to call Da Tou, who was inside eating at the banquet.
The person came out after a while, but walked in the same unsteady way as the one on the ground, clearly not much better off than the one on the ground.
In the end, Ye Sinian asked a hotel staff member to help take the person to their room upstairs.
Shen Yanqing refused to go and insisted on going with Gu Baiwei.
This person seems to have a significant drop in IQ after getting drunk.
Gu Baiwei had a headache and could only leave with him ahead of time. Otherwise, if others saw Boss Shen like this, he would lose face in the future.
Before leaving, she quietly pulled Ye Sinian aside, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.
