Chapter 412 - 413: Then I will make a fool of myself
Qin Mobai and Lou Xi returned to the banquet hall, where the guests were already seated and the luncheon began.
As the groom and bride walked out, everyone’s eyes turned towards them.
Compared to Lou Xi in a white dress earlier, now wearing a classic cheongsam, she more resembled a noble lady from old society, dazzling to the point where people couldn’t look away.
Men are visual animals; everyone felt there was a reason Qin Mobai chose Lou Xi in the end.
Shen Ruozhuo was indeed beautiful, but Lou Xi’s beauty had more warmth.
Under the watchful eyes of many, Qin Mobai led Lou Xi to the main table, reserving four seats: two for Qin Mobai and Lou Xi, and two for Fu Sinian and Qin Moxi.
At the table were people from the Qin Family whom Lou Xi had seen, along with some friends of Qin Mobai and Bai Lu Su Qingxi.
The old lady’s face was openly joyful; regardless of who it was, as long as the grandson was getting married, soon she would have grandchildren in her arms, which she was eagerly anticipating!
Qin Sheng was likely forced by the old lady into showing half a smile on his stern face, seemingly accepting this marriage.
Lou Xi had previously heard from Qin Mobai that as long as the old lady at home agreed, there would be no objections.
Sure enough.
Settled in, ready to begin the meal.
A woman in an off-white long dress walked over, her graceful presence impossible to ignore.
Lou Xi turned her head too, it was Shen Ruozhuo, holding a long cylindrical scroll in her arms.
"What are you looking at? Didn’t you say you were hungry?" Qin Mobai should have noticed Shen Ruozhuo approaching, but his gaze never fell on her, instead he helped Lou Xi with the dishes, "If you don’t find it tasty, I’ll have the chef make something special for you."
This meal prepared by top chefs, could it possibly not taste good?
In the midst of conversation, Shen Ruozhuo had already reached the main table.
Actually, seeing Shen Ruozhuo, the Qin Family’s side, including Qin Sheng, felt a bit awkward since Shen Ruozhuo was the original fiancée of Qin Mobai.
For this wedding of Qin Mobai and Lou Xi, not only did Shen Ruozhuo come, but members of the Shen Family attended too.
"Mo Bai, Lou Xi, here is a gift for your wedding, a humble piece of work, I hope you won’t disdain it."
Being called out, Lou Xi naturally rose from her chair, "Thank you."
Given her generosity, if Lou Xi didn’t accept this gift, it would make her seem petty.
"No need to thank me. There was no fate between Mo Bai and me, so I hope you can grow old together."
Shen Ruozhuo’s words made Lou Xi shudder; saying such things at a wedding, did it mean she was launching a direct challenge?
Before Lou Xi could respond, Qin Mobai stood up from his chair, took the scroll from Lou Xi’s hands, and casually placed it on the ground, not caring at all that Shen Ruozhuo’s painting worth millions was just left there.
"Miss Shen, I hope you remember your status." Qin Mobai said coldly.
Shen Ruozhuo met Qin Mobai’s gaze, smiling faintly, "What status am I supposed to have?"
The rightful fiancée now witnessing him marry someone else, what an irony.
"The painting I gave you doesn’t have any words inscribed yet, why not let Lou Xi add something for a finishing touch?"
Everyone was shocked; Shen Ruozhuo was a renowned painter and calligrapher, yet she asked Lou Xi to inscribe words on her painting.
Using one’s strengths to exploit another’s weaknesses?
This move by Shen Ruozhuo was somewhat offensive.
Qin Mobai wanted to help Lou Xi decline.
But, they heard a crisp voice say, "Then, I will try my best and not disappoint."
