“What do you want?” Lu Huanyan cast Su Xiaojiao a disdainful glance. She was still mad at her for vying for her mommy’s affection, and so she didn’t want to talk to her.
Su Xiaojiao stretched her hand to touch her. “I’m the princess, you are the queen.”
She said in a childish tone.
Lu Huanyan snorted coldly. “You can only be the maid. If not, I won’t play with you. Hmph! ”
They were about three and four years old, respectively, so their pronunciation still wasn’t really clear.
Xuxu had the urge to laugh when she heard their conversation. Were they going to play pretend again?
“Princess.”
“Maid.”
“Alright then.”
Su Xiaojiao finally relented and agreed to become the maid. She hung her head as she stood before Lu Huanyan.
She looked so pitiful and Xuxu’s heart was aching for her. But she wouldn’t interfere when they were playing.
The three fellows held hands as they went to a corner to play.
Xuxu glanced at Ming Ansheng’s table and noticed that they were still drinking and toasting each other. Now, they were getting started on the white wine.
Several of them were as red as a tomato, and a few others looked as though they were about to collapse.
She pulled Yan Rusheng’s arm. “Let’s go over.”
Yan Rusheng nodded. “Okay.”
When the young masters saw Yan Rusheng and Xuxu walking towards them, they yelled, “The bride and groom are coming...”
“I... I remember that you haven’t given us a toast.”
“Yeah... they... didn’t. I remember...”
The young masters put their arms around one another for support. If one of them lost his footing, the rest would fall too.
“Alright, let us give all of you a toast.” Xuxu smiled and nodded. She turned around and beckoned to a waiter.
The waiter immediately came over.
Xuxu raised a glass while she passed one to Yan Rusheng. Her glass was filled with a non-alcoholic beverage.
“Thank you, young masters,” Xuxu said politely and emptied her glass.
She couldn’t drink at all, so she didn’t touch any wine.
She managed to avoid alcohol for the entire night, but it was proving to be difficult at this particular table.
“Wen Xuxu, you and Third Yan tied the knot tonight. So there is no way you are not drinking.”
Xuxu furrowed her eyebrows and she put on a pitiful expression. “Young Masters, please spare me. All of you know I can’t hold my liquor at all.”
“It’s fine. Actually, the more you drink, the easier it is to set the mood.”
“Third Yan, am I right...”
Pairs of eyes darted to Yan Rusheng. He drank quite a bit and he was a little tipsy, but he still remained clear-headed.
He pretended to be drunk and lazily grinned. “Yeah.”
Xuxu heard him and she knitted her eyebrows once more. She extended her hand sneakily to pinch Yan Rusheng’s back.
“Xuxu, let me give you a toast.” Suddenly, the only woman at the table stood up. Hu Xiaoxiao raised her glass to Xuxu and smiled.
The atmosphere became strangely awkward in an instant.
Xuxu was startled, and she smiled weakly. “I...”
Instinctively, she stole a glance at Jiang Zhuoheng. As though it was telepathy, Jiang Zhuoheng was looking at her with a gentle smile.
This gentleness was reserved solely for her all these years.
Xuxu immediately understood and she turned towards Hu Xiaoxiao. “Sure,” readily said Xuxu.
She took Yan Rusheng’s glass and said, “Ah Sheng, I need to drink a little. If not, I won’t be able to leave tonight.”
Yan Rusheng was pleased with her, especially at her innocent-looking expression which he loved so much.
