In the past, he was happy being by her side and truly loved her. His love for her might not have been as deep as hers for him, but it was genuine, so he felt very happy.

Later on, his interest in her gradually faded away; there were many reasons behind this.

Chen Xuoru's disposition was too conservative and didn't fit well with his personality. Their interests and hobbies were completely different, she always made concessions for him but had nothing to talk about with him. Gradually, he lost interest in her. On top of that, Chen Xuoru couldn't satisfy his desires physically either. All these factors made him find her very uninteresting. Eventually, even the last shred of attachment towards her disappeared when he met Han Bi.

In recent years, he never deliberately paid attention to her news. Occasionally when he saw her on a small page, he would think that this woman was someone he had abandoned; she must be unhappy and uninteresting.

This almost summed up his impression of Chen Xuoru.

He never knew that today Chen Xuoru deliberately made herself so radiant and charming. Her appearance was beautiful, very much so in the past too, but rarely did she smile genuinely from the heart; this made people feel stifled.

But today's her was so dazzling, shining brightly as if she were the most beautiful woman there, capturing everyone’s attention.

A sudden sense of imbalance arose within him.

This woman was someone he had abandoned; she should be living an unfortunate and unbearable life. She definitely shouldn't look this radiant or live a happier life than him.

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

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

He knew that Tang Shuwen was aware of his past with Chen Xieru. Since he had invited him to the wedding, it showed that he didn't mind their relationship, indicating that this man didn't care about Chen Xieru at all. No man would invite his wife's ex-lover to attend their wedding.

But now, he realized he was wrong.

Tang Shuwen invited him to the wedding just so he could see how happy Chen Xieru looked and let him know what he had lost by losing her—it was a loss for him.

Very ruthless!

This was the most painful wedding he had ever attended. His own woman, now someone else's bride, was more beautiful and charming next to Tang Shuwen than she ever was beside him.

He had nurtured a flower until it withered.

But Tang Shuwen made a wilted flower bloom proudly again.

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

He had many women in his life, too numerous to remember clearly. But Chen Xieru was always in his memory, sometimes blurry and sometimes vivid. Witnessing this scene now made her image in his memories clearer than ever before.

Tang Shuwen's move was venomous; he wanted Gu Rui to never forget Chen Xieru, to regret his youthful mistake for the rest of his life. This inner torment and suffering was worse than anything else.

Tang Shuwen truly sought justice for Chen Xieru.

Gu Rui clenched his fists.

After the ceremony, everyone clapped, putting Wei Lan and Tang Si at ease. They had worried about something going wrong during this wedding, but fortunately nothing did; it couldn't have been more perfect.

Little Nian tugged at Wēn Lán's sleeve, "Grandma, I need to go potty."

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

Wen Lan took Little Nian to the restroom.

The bride was about to throw her bouquet; all unmarried women went to catch it. Wēnmu found the scene amusing and chuckled at how long the line was. She didn’t want to join in, but Cai Xiaojing dragged her over anyway.

Chen Xueru threw the bouquet backwards, which unexpectedly landed right on Wēnmu’s chest. Instinctively, she caught it with her hands, somewhat surprised; could it be that I actually got it Wen Yefei raised an eyebrow, and Wēnmu just saw him smiling as he did so. She awkwardly handed the bouquet to Cai Xiaojing.

"You caught it," said Wēnmu.

Cai Xiaojing laughed, "Everyone with eyes could see you got it. Looks like we’ll be celebrating your wedding next time."

Wēnmu giggled and replied, "But didn’t you get married first If you don't find a husband soon, Cai Xiaojing, you'll be an old maid." Cai Xiaojing called her a dead girl as Tang Mandong said, “Your words are off target. Who else but you would need to wait so long before getting married”

"Exactly!"

The bride went to change clothes while the bridesmaids and best men guided guests into the wedding hall.

Wēnmu told Cai Xiaojing and the others to go ahead, then she sat down in a pavilion at the park to take a rest. Because her shoes were slightly too small for her feet, walking around had made them tired and started peeling.

She took off her shoes and let her feet relax as she stretched out her sore legs.

She looked at the bouquet that Cai Xiaojing had thrown to her, pursed her lips slightly, and thought it was really unlucky for her to catch the bouquet. Since she hadn't even dated anyone yet, there was no way the belief that catching a wedding bouquet meant you would be the next one getting married could possibly be true.

A shadow fell over her, and when Warming raised her eyes, Ye Feimo had already stood beside her. He still wore his usual expressionless face, but there was a hint of warmth in his gaze today, as it was a good day for his close friend. It seemed that even he was smiling more often than usual.

Ye Feimo glanced at her feet and saw the blisters on her heels due to the fine skin of her feet rubbing against the shoes. He squatted down and lifted her leg, holding it tightly. Warming pulled back slightly when his hand gripped hers, “Does it hurt”

Her small foot rested on his thigh. Warming always thought that her little feet were quite pretty; they were white and delicate with long slender toes painted in pink nail polish. Even so, she felt a bit shy about putting them so openly on his leg.

"It doesn't hurt. Let go," said Warming as her face heated up and she struggled to have him release her. Ye Feimo gently massaged the swollen areas without touching the blisters, but couldn’t help frowning in concern. "Change your shoes."

“Where would I change my shoes now Don't worry about it, just bear with it,” replied Warming. The wedding dress and shoes had been paired together based on her measurements, but somehow, she’d ended up wearing a size too small and ten-centimeter heels that were causing discomfort.

Ye Feimo shot her an annoyed look. Warming thought to herself, what’s he looking at me like that for We’re still in the middle of a cold war.

She pulled her foot back and Ye Feimo sat down beside her, taking the bouquet from her hand. Warming hurriedly said, "Oh, this superstition about throwing the bridal bouquet is completely nonsense! There’s no way I could be next to get married; it should have been thrown to Xiaojing instead."

Ye Feimo gave her a sideways glance and smirked, but Warming didn’t know what he was mocking. She decided not to pay him much attention. After a long silence, Ye Feimo said, “I think catching the bridal bouquet is quite reliable.”

Ye Feimo shot another sidelong look at her and mocked again with his lips curled up. Warming didn't know what he was mocking, so she just ignored him. Finally, Ye Feimo said, "I believe that catching the bridal bouquet can be very accurate."

Warming's lip twitched sarcastically. Accurate How could it possibly be accurate
