Chapter 416: Chapter 416
Ling Momo naturally applauded as well, her posture relaxed and her heart calm—truly unflustered.
The priest led Lu Niange and Jian Chenxi to make vows to each other, followed by the bride and groom’s kiss.
The wedding instantly reached its climax. Jian Chenxi looked at Lu Niange and smiled lightly, her eyes sparkling with happiness. Lu Niange, with a calm expression, wrapped his arms around Jian Chenxi’s waist and slowly kissed her lips. The whole process seemed sweet, but only Jian Chenxi and Lu Niange knew, in the moment they kissed, how stiff Lu Niange’s body had become. Even at the moment their lips touched, Lu Niange’s lips pursed slightly, instinctively about to pull away, but luckily Jian Chenxi reacted quickly, hooking her arms around Lu Niange’s neck, tilting her head back, and seemingly enjoying the kiss as she closed her eyes. As their lips parted, Jian Chenxi opened her eyes and stared fixedly at Lu Niange. In that instant of eye contact, unseen by others, sharp tensions flared all around.
Next naturally came the banquet. Jian Chenxi, hand in hand with Lu Niange, gracefully made toasts to all guests. Before they reached Ling Momo’s table, Lu Niange’s gaze had already drifted frequently towards Ling Momo.
He and she had not met for three months, having spanned a season, and she still looked as captivating as ever. Follow current novᴇls on novel⁂fire.net
Jian Chenxi observed Lu Niange’s frequent distractions indifferently, suppressing the rage in her heart, all the while smiling profusely as she continued making toasts. When she finally reached Ling Momo, Jian Chenxi smiled broadly and said, "I’m glad you could attend Niange’s and my wedding."
Jian Chenxi’s voice was as melodious as always.
Ling Momo also stood up with a smile, her gaze calm as she looked over Jian Chenxi and Lu Niange, holding her wine glass with a soft tone, "Wishing you a lifetime of happiness together."
As she spoke, her eyes shone brightly, her voice not trembling at all. Lu Niange listened intently to her expression, staring at her tender and unaffected demeanor, and was left dazed.
Ling Momo had already emptied her glass.
Jian Chenxi smiled radiantly and said, "Thank you!"
Then she too drank in one go, set down her glass, only to notice Lu Niange gazing lostly at Ling Momo, forgetting to drink, with many people around watching. Jian Chenxi’s gaze darkened. Having been in the entertainment circle for a long time, she was an expert in performing, and Jian Chenxi was among the best. Naturally, she would not allow any embarrassing situation to occur at her wedding. So, she seemed exceptionally considerate as she reached out to take the wine glass from Lu Niange’s hand, adding considerately, "Ms. Ling, please don’t mind. Niange is feeling a bit unwell and can’t drink much, so I’ll take this drink for him."
After saying that, she downed the drink that was originally in Lu Niange’s hand.
After drinking, Jian Chenxi took Lu Niange by the hand and led him to another table. Lu Niange had already regained his composure, silently following Jian Chenxi away, but for some reason, he seemed to deliberately contradict Jian Chenxi thereafter, drinking one glass after another smoothly and efficiently, not showing any signs of discomfort. Jian Chenxi’s expression grew unpleasant, but she still forced herself to maintain her smile.
