At this moment, Jiang Jingshu had changed out of the most elaborate and luxurious wedding dress and put on a simple wedding dress in a gown style.
Holding the bouquet in her hands, she numbly planned to go through this last process.
But at that moment, Jingshu suddenly froze.
—Because she saw Yan Xun.
The young man rushing straight towards the bride was extremely eye-catching, and for a moment, many people’s gazes quickly turned to him.
Chen Wanqing’s expression suddenly became somewhat uncertain. Clearly, she recalled Jiang Jingshu’s previous runaway marriage and thought that history was repeating itself.
Jiang Yuhang also felt a bit nervous. After all, this wasn’t an engagement banquet but such a grand wedding. However, his reaction wasn’t as strong as his mother’s. He immediately looked at Chu Tingyun’s expression.
At this moment, however, the man’s face showed no surprise, as if he had already known.
Jiang Yuhang found it strange.
Last time, when Yan Xun and Jiang Jingshu eloped, Chu Tingyun had made a huge fuss. If something similar happened again this time……
Before this thought could fully form in his mind, Jiang Yuhang noticed that Yan Xun suddenly stopped.
He wasn’t rushing towards the bride but had squeezed into the crowd trying to grab the bouquet and quickly occupied the best position.
“……?”
Many onlookers’ expressions froze, then slowly turned into a question mark.
Generally speaking, in such business marriages, grabbing the bouquet is just a formality. But there are also many girls who want to get married or the bride’s unmarried close friends who come to grab it.
To get a good omen or liven up the atmosphere. So usually, it’s girls who grab it.
So this scene looked a bit funny.
Yan Xun, who was tall, stood among a group of girls in dresses, like a crane among chickens, standing out prominently. His expression was stern, and his eyes were fixed on the bouquet in the bride’s hand, determined to get it.
Jiang Yuhang slightly narrowed his eyes and turned to the young man standing next to him:
“Cousin, I feel like this is quite interesting. Do you want to try it?”
This was Chen Wanqing’s brother’s son, and also Jiang Yuhang’s cousin.
Although the Chén family was related by marriage to the Jiang family and had a close connection, their status wasn’t equal, and they were somewhat dependent on the Jiang family.
So, Chen Hui had basically been Jiang Yuhang’s follower since childhood. At this moment, his gaze was fixed on Yan Xun, and he probably understood Jiang Yuhang’s intention.
“Ha ha, then I’ll give it a try.”
He was about the same height as Yan Xun but was more muscular, with his brawny arms stretching the suit tightly, giving the impression of a bear from behind.
On the other side, standing among the girls, Sū Yǎo let out a scream.
“Damn!”
Only then did she see Yan Xun, and she was instantly shocked as if she had seen a ghost.
“Yan Xun, you’re married and still here making trouble?!”
The amnesiac Yan Xun naturally didn’t recognize her. Although he wanted to reply out of politeness, it was already too late.
Because the beautiful bouquet had been thrown high into the air.
Perhaps intentionally, the bouquet was aimed directly at Yan Xun.
With his positional and height advantage, grabbing a small bouquet shouldn’t have been difficult. But suddenly, another person came out and tried to interfere.
Bang—
After a dull sound of physical collision, the man who had suddenly rushed over to grab the bouquet was directly knocked down by Yan Xun.
“Ah……”
It was unclear where he was hit, but Chen Hui lay on the ground for a long time without getting up.
This sudden change immediately startled many people.
Yan Xun, however, didn’t look at the person on the ground but instead looked past Chen Hui and saw Jiang Yuhang not far away.
— The other party was smiling and applauding him.
“Yan-ge, you’re really impressive!”
“……”
Yan Xun didn’t respond. He had just seen Jiang Yuhang talking to the man who had suddenly rushed over to grab the bouquet.
Recalling Chu Tingyun’s dislike for this younger brother, Yan Xun quickly came to a conclusion.
At this moment, familiar friends quickly helped Chen Hui up. The latter was holding his stomach, looking slightly pale, and finally gritted his teeth, smiling at Yan Xun, and said,
“Mr. Yan, you look slim, but I didn’t expect you to be so strong.”
Yan Xun adjusted the beautiful bouquet in his hand, his tone completely lacking any apology.
“I didn’t expect you to look so stable, but you were knocked down so easily.”
“……”
Chen Hui’s face immediately turned unpleasant.
Yan Xun didn’t care about such small tricks. He organized the bouquet in his hand and turned to leave.
“Chu Tingyun.”
Yan Xun walked over in front of everyone and handed the bouquet to the man.
“I got it for you.”
“……”
Even though Chu Tingyun had already known that Yan Xun would grab the bouquet for him, when it actually happened, he felt it was extremely surreal.
Because the initial suggestion was just a sudden idea, filled with unwillingness, jealousy, and malice.
But now it had become a reality.
A deep, indescribable joy welled up in his chest; at this moment, President Chu was euphoric.
He felt that the whole world seemed to be looking pleasant.
“Hmm, the flowers are indeed quite beautiful.”
Then, Chu Tingyun naturally reached out to touch Yan Xun’s chest.
“I didn’t expect you to be so strong?”
Yan Xun felt a bit awkward. He pulled down Chu Tingyun’s hand and whispered.
“Actually, in terms of weight, I couldn’t compete. I used a bit of clever force.”
That’s why Chen Hui had been lying on the ground for so long without getting up.
Chu Tingyun didn’t care about clever force or not; he only knew that Yan Xun had knocked someone down just to get the bouquet for him.
This feeling… tsk!
To put it crudely, it was like a thrill from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. It even made him want to drag Yan Xun back and sleep with him right now.
“We’ve completed the main ceremony, so we can go back now.”
Yan Xun was surprised. “Go back now?”
Chu Tingyun asked, “Do you have anything else to do?”
Buzz buzz—
The phone vibrated.
Yan Xun glanced at it; it was a message from Lin Ran.
Lin Ran: “Leaving.”
Yan Xun instinctively looked back and saw that Lin Ran’s previous position was indeed empty. On the other side, the senior sister was now talking intimately with her new husband.
Yan Xun had initially wanted to ask the senior sister about their “relationship” before, but it didn’t seem like a good time now.
At least no groom would be comfortable with his new wife talking alone with an ex-boyfriend.
…He’d better call the senior sister after the wedding ends.
“Okay.”
Yan Xun turned off his phone.
“Let’s go back.”
Upon hearing this, President Chu immediately led Yan Xun away without saying a word.
This time, Chu Tingyun didn’t drive that flashy Lamborghini but instead switched back to the low-key black Maybach.
Sitting in the back seat, Chu Tingyun held the flowers and kept wiping the leaves.
But after the car had been driving for half an hour, Yan Xun realized this was not the way home.
He asked, “Where are we going?”
“Home.”
Chu Tingyun answered as if it were obvious.
Home?
Yan Xun took two seconds to realize that Chu Tingyun probably meant the house they used to live in together, not the rental apartment they had stayed in these past few days.
“What about my things?”
Chu Tingyun slightly nodded, the corner of his mouth curling up. “I called a moving company. All your things have been moved over.”
“……”
Yan Xun was silent for two seconds, then quietly said,
“Next time, discuss these things with me in advance.”
Chu Tingyun’s action of wiping the leaves paused.
He was accustomed to controlling everything in a commanding manner, so from disliking the small wardrobe and deciding to move back to notifying Yan Xun, Chu Tingyun had never thought of the word “discuss.”
Previously, Yan Xun wouldn’t ask for “discussions.” He would only silently and obediently accept Chu Tingyun’s arrangements.
Living locations, travel plans, dining restaurants, clothing styles, even the positions during intimate moments and post-cleanup, were all decided by Chu Tingyun.
Because those arrangements could be broadly categorized as partner duties.
“……”
After a moment of silence in the car, Chu Tingyun replied, “Okay.”
This small episode made the atmosphere in the car a bit heavy. Chu Tingyun finished counting each petal, and Yan Xun still didn’t speak.
So, he coughed lightly and casually asked, “Would you like to go pick up the cat in a few days?”
“?!”
Yan Xun immediately became a bit excited, “Have you recovered from your allergy?”
“Hmm, more or less.”
Chu Tingyun nodded.
As they spoke, the car drove into a high-end neighborhood near the city center. Taking the elevator up, Chu Tingyun brought Yan Xun back to their wedding home.
It was a 300-square-meter flat, one unit per floor, with a minimalist and high-end decoration, and importantly, it looked extremely clean.
It was very much in line with President Chu’s cleanliness obsession.
This was indeed their wedding home because Yan Xun saw their wedding photo hanging on the living room wall.
In the photo, both of them were smiling happily.
Yan Xun couldn’t help but look at it for a while longer.
At this moment, Chu Tingyun entered, changed shoes, took off his coat, and disinfected himself in one go. He then washed the flowers and his hands carefully, and found a vase to put them in.
Yan Xun had also developed a habit of disinfecting and washing his hands with him.
At this moment, while arranging the flowers, Chu Tingyun casually asked, “Did anyone send you a message before we left the wedding venue?”
Yan Xun’s hand-wiping motion paused, then he replied, “I saw Lin Ran today. He asked about my recent situation.”
Chu Tingyun frowned slightly. “Lin Ran? What was he doing at the wedding?”
Yan Xun didn’t answer this question but suddenly asked, “Chu Tingyun, was it me who first brought up the divorce?”
“……”
This question was like a thunderbolt.
Chu Tingyun’s movements paused. He turned to look at Yan Xun. His probing gaze wandered over the young man’s face for a few seconds. After confirming something, Chu Tingyun gave a positive answer.
“Hmm.”
Having seen Lin Ran and then asked such a question.
It was obvious who told him.
Chu Tingyun’s heart gradually sank.
Tsk, troublesome.
Yan Xun had always thought it was Chu Tingyun who wanted the divorce, but now the truth had reversed.
He continued to ask, “Then why did I want to get a divorce?”
“……”
Chu Tingyun put down the vase and walked closer to Yan Xun, slowly pushing him toward the edge of the sofa.
“Hmm, didn’t I already say? Because you’re still young…”
Tap.
Yan Xun grabbed the hand Chu Tingyun had placed on his chest. His voice dropped slightly.
“Mr. Chu, that reason isn’t very convincing.”
“……”
Chu Tingyun didn’t seem embarrassed by being exposed. Instead, he smiled and thought for a moment before saying,
“Let me give you a more convincing explanation.”
“What is it?”
Then, Yan Xun heard him say,
“I asked for too much, and you couldn’t handle it.”
Yan Xun: “……”
