Time passed.
Three days later.
The wedding of Shangguan Xiao and Long Jiuxiao was held as scheduled.
At the Su family residence.
"Good morning, Miss."
"Morning, Qin Luo."
Su Muwan yawned as she walked out of her room, stretching lazily.
She took the breakfast handed to her by Qin Luo and followed him toward the courtyard while chewing: "What time is it, Qin Luo?"
She was tired, she was sleepy, and she could fall asleep right then and there.
If she could go back to bed for a nap, she wouldn’t even mind holding Qin Luo’s hand for a moment!
Qin Luo looked at the drowsy Su Muwan and chuckled: "Miss, wake up. It’s time to attend Shangguan Xiao’s wedding today."
"Tsk..."
Su Muwan pouted: "Do we have to go? I’m not even close to them."
Not only were they not close, but there was also some bad blood between them!
Not only had they locked up the Dragon King of the Dragon King Palace in a mental hospital,
but they had even beaten up the newlyweds the last time they met.
You had to hand it to the people working under the Dragon King Palace—they knew how to endure. They were even willing to invite the Su family to the banquet.
Qin Luo shook his head: "You’re already here, Miss. You’re the face of Jiang City now."
Su Muwan blinked, feeling as though she had grown a bit, and said, "So, it wouldn’t look good if I didn’t go?"
"No, if you don’t go, you might miss out on a lot of fun."
"?"
What kind of logic is that?!
At that moment.
Ning Qingxuan ran over and grabbed Su Muwan’s arm, sobbing: "Daughter! Sniff sniff~! I had a fight with your dad!"
"Mom? A fight?"
Su Muwan was stunned.
That couldn’t be right. Given her dad’s personality, shouldn’t he be the victim?
"Yeah!"
Ning Qingxuan wiped her tears and complained: "I told him I wanted to retake our wedding photos, but he just wouldn’t agree."
"I told him, things are different now, and taking wedding photos like this would be so much more fun!"
Su Muwan found this very strange: "Mom, what are you doing? Trying to relive the past with Dad?"
"Yes, I just wanted to reminisce about the feeling of when we were dating!"
"But your dad just wouldn’t agree."
Ning Qingxuan grew angrier as she spoke: "It’s just a new-style wedding photo. Why wouldn’t he agree?"
"What new-style wedding photo?"
"Oh, this one."
Ning Qingxuan handed the photo to Su Muwan and Qin Luo for a look.
In the photo.
Su Lingtian was blushing, forced to wear a wedding dress.
"Ning Qingxuan! What are you doing?!"
"I told you my brother-in-law can’t wear that!"
Ning Qingyuan stormed over from a distance, pulling Ning Qingxuan away.
As she dragged her sister, she glanced at Su Muwan and said, "Xiao Wan, get ready and come out. It’s time to attend the banquet."
Whoosh!
The two left.
Only Su Muwan and Qin Luo remained in the courtyard.
After a long pause.
"What the—!"
"Mom’s gone crazy!!"
Su Muwan was shocked!
Was there anyone normal left in this world??
She thought everyone else was already abstract enough, but now even her mom was like this?!
Huh?!
Su Muwan took a deep breath, her mind suddenly much clearer.
But, to be fair.
Dad actually looked pretty good in that wedding dress.
Hmm... Speaking of looking good.
Su Muwan glanced at Qin Luo’s figure.
The more she looked, the more she liked it.
There had been a few times when she and Qin Luo went shopping, and she had made him try on a bunch of different outfits.
The result was that every single one looked perfect on him!
Qin Luo was practically born to be a clothes hanger!
Hehe.
If Qin Luo were to get married one day and stand next to someone in a suit...
Ouch!
That hurts!
Su Muwan’s expression twisted in pain as she clutched her chest.
Su Muwan, are you out of your mind?!
Why are you imagining Qin Luo marrying someone else?!
Qin Luo, noticing Su Muwan’s pained expression, quickly patted her back and asked, "Miss, what’s wrong?"
"Nothing! Nothing! Let’s go!"
...
...
An hour later.
On the sparkling sea, a luxurious cruise ship glided smoothly across the water.
The Tianyu, a top-tier luxury cruise ship in Wang City, was reserved exclusively for elite families to host their banquets.
After going through a series of tedious formalities.
On the observation deck.
Su Muwan happily spread her arms, closed her eyes, and let the sea breeze brush against her face, a slight smile on her lips.
"Mmm~~"
The rustling sound of the sea brought a moment of tranquility.
Although many unpleasant things had happened in Wang City.
At least for now, Su Muwan’s heart was at peace.
Though, why did it feel like there was a dark cloud looming over the sea today...
"Dr. Qin! Aren’t you Dr. Qin? I’ve seen your TikTok videos! We’re your fans!"
"Thank you."
??
Su Muwan’s smile froze.
She opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the voice.
There.
Qin Luo was surrounded by a crowd of people.
Everyone on this cruise ship was either rich or influential.
Yet, in front of Qin Luo, they all looked like starstruck fans.
Yes, both men and women.
"Ah—!! The doctor talked to me! I’m going to faint!"
"Guys, I’ve made it. I met my idol!"
"Doctor! Please slap me! I want to become beautiful!"
"Doctor, quick! Give me CPR!"
???
Why are they asking for CPR?!
"Wait!!"
Su Muwan rushed toward Qin Luo.
She pushed through the crowd.
Grabbed Qin Luo, and then glared fiercely at the onlookers: "Get lost, all of you!"
"Eek!! It’s Su Muwan!"
"Run! Run!"
The crowd scattered in all directions.
In an instant, the observation deck was empty except for Su Muwan and Qin Luo.
Qin Luo looked at the furious Su Muwan and couldn’t help but chuckle: "Miss, Grandpa Su just told us to be polite. After all, this is someone else’s wedding banquet."
Su Ba and the other elders had gone ahead to engage in the usual formalities among the older generation.
As for Qin Luo and Su Muwan, they were free to wander around the cruise ship.
"Hmph! So what!"
Su Muwan snorted, then gave Qin Luo a sweet smile: "Qin Luo, come here. Take a photo of me!"
"This place is full of shady people. Don’t let those little vixens snatch you away!"
Su Muwan gritted her teeth. In the blink of an eye, Qin Luo had been surrounded by that crowd.
Anyone would think you’re some kind of male siren, Qin Luo.
"Of course, Miss."
A moment later.
Click, click~!
Qin Luo prepared the camera and was dragged into service by Su Muwan.
After a few shots.
Su Muwan took the camera and looked at the photos with satisfaction, patting Qin Luo’s shoulder: "Hehe, you’re pretty good at this, Qin Luo."
Qin Luo smiled: "It’s because you’re naturally photogenic, Miss."
"Hmph! Of course!"
Su Muwan’s lips curled up, and then.
She had a brilliant idea.
Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Qin Luo and said, "Qin Luo, let’s take a photo together."
