A Warm Wedding and A New Bride of Young Master Lu

Before resuming her relationship with Su Yicheng, Luo Xiaoxi decided to have a good time.

Therefore, when she left the hospital in the afternoon and received a call, she promised her old pals without even hesitating to think that she would attend the party.

Not long after Luo Xiaoxi left, Su Yicheng returned to the hospital after finishing his business.

Seeing Su Jianan enjoying her dinner, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked Aunt Zhang, “How was Jianan today?”

“She threw up several times in the morning. However, she has been feeling well all afternoon after that friend of hers came to visit,” Aunt Zhang said with her eyes narrowing with laughter. “As you can see, she now has a better appetite.”

Su Yicheng also wanted to laugh, but the smile froze in his face.

Among Su Jianan’s friends, Luo Xiaoxi was the only one who had a close contact with her. It was easy to guess who had visited that day.

“Aunt Zhang, I’m full.” Su Jianan laid down the tableware. “Clear it away please.”

“All right.”

Aunt Zhang picked up the tableware to clean in the washroom, leaving Su Yicheng and Su Jianan in the ward.

“You can guess it was Xiaoxi who came today,” Su Jianan said with a smile. “She’s still the same; she hasn’t changed at all.”

“Her personality,” Su Yicheng said helplessly, “will never change.”

“It’s New Year’s Eve tomorrow…” Su Jianan thought for a while and said, “Brother, go home and rest. You can’t sleep well at all here and there is something very important following you.”

Su Yicheng did have something very important next. So, he decided to drive back to his apartment and asked Aunt Zhang to stay with Su Jianan.

He received a call from Xiao Chen while driving on the pub street. Xiao Chen said that he was at a party at the Blue Jazz.

Su Yicheng’s company had entitled its employees to New Year’s holidays. He could not say anything even if Xiao Chen went for a winter swimming abroad, let alone a party at the Blue Jazz.

There should be some special issue for him to call deliberately.

Su Yicheng slowed down his car and said, “Tell me!”

“I saw… Ms. Luo at the Blue Jazz,” Xiao Chen said hesitantly. “Qin Wei, the Young Master of Qin Enterprises, had booked the whole Blue Jazz for a party today. Maybe Ms. Luo went there after receiving his invitation.”

“Qin Wei?” With a frown on his face, Su Yicheng wrenched the wheel and drove his car to the parking lot of the pub street.

Friends were the last thing Luo Xiaoxi needed in City A. It wasn’t strange at all for someone to call her after hearing that she was back.

But Qin Wei should definitely not be the one to call her!

Su Yicheng walked straight into the Blue Jazz after parking his car.

There were very dynamic music and cheers at the bar, producing an extraordinarily lively atmosphere. Luo Xiaoxi, the kind of person who had a passion for those lively affairs, was the easiest to be lighted up.

Su Yicheng looked toward the dancing floor. Sure enough, Luo Xiaoxi was performing a hot dance with Qin Wei.

The crowd around the dancing floor jeered and yelled, “Qin Wei! Xiaoxi! Your dancing should be sexier and hotter!”

Su Yicheng fetched Xiao Chen and left him some words. Not long after Xiao Chen nodded and walked away, the music at the bar was suddenly turned off.

The whole bar sank into an instant stillness. People who had been swaying back and forth on the dancing floor stopped with disappointment, staring vacantly at the DJ.

The DJ lifted his hands and said, “Sorry, sorry. There is something wrong with the audio system. It will take five minutes to repair it.”

If waiting for five minutes, even the burning cells inside their bodies would calm down. People who had been swaying back and forth a minute ago walked away one after another, with booing and catcalls left above the dancing floor.

“Xiaoxi, have you enjoyed yourself?” Qin Wei asked with a smile. “Shall we continue later?”

Luo Xiaoxi said while waving her hand, “I’ve run myself out. By the way, where is your fiancée?”

“She’s gathering with her girlfriends. I will pick her up after they finished.” After a pause he added, “We had a blind date under our parents’ arrangement when she came back from abroad. I thought she was agreeable and she didn’t dislike me. Our family conditions matched each other and my mother urged us to get married. So, I agreed. Anyway…”

“…”

“Anyway, it doesn’t make any difference to marry anybody,” Qin Wei said while shrugging his shoulders helplessly.

No one would know that what Qin Wei wanted to tell Luo Xiaoxi was: Anyway, it is impossible between us.

Luo Xiaoxi pat on Qin Wei’s shoulder and said, “Have you heard that love would come in time? Maybe you will fall in love with her as days go by.”

Qin Wei was noncommittal and asked, “Let’s talk about you. How’s your plan for you and Su Yicheng?”

“I…” Abruptly Luo Xiaoxi felt a stream of cold eyesight when she was about to speak. She looked back unconsciously. And as expected, it was Su Yicheng.

He stood at the bar counter, starring at her and Qin Wei coldly, with a fire light burning faster and faster from deep within his eyes.

Luo Xiaoxi was glad that Su Yicheng was angry.

She turned back to Qin Wei, with her face breaking into a wide grin, and said with an intentionally raised tone, “It was impossible between him and me. I will look for a boyfriend after the Spring Festival. Could you introduce to some excellent boys?”

Qin Wei also noticed Su Yicheng, who was like a hidden danger not far from them. He said while feeling cold on his back, “Hey! I’m getting married, keep your hands off me. Go find others who can be in league with you. See you!”

Seeing Qin Wei running away in a flurry before her, Luo Xiaoxi stroked her hair, thinking about the next step of her plan. A young man of her age walked near, stretching out his hand, and said, “Hi, beauty. How are you?”

Luo Xiaoxi nearly knew all the people who liked having fun in the bar, excluding the real stranger in front of her. She looked at the handsome face, feeling puzzled, and asked, “Who are you?”

“I’m Teng Jun. My family’s company just moved to City A,” Teng Jun said with a breeze-like smile. “Ms. Luo, it’s my pleasure to meet you.”

Luo Xiaoxi smiled. She was not surprised that Teng Jun knew of her. But when she was about to shake hands with Teng Jun, she felt an arm circled around her waist and was pulled back by an irresistible power, leaving Teng Jun and her fingers nearly touching.

“Boss Su?” Teng Jun looked at Su Yicheng surprisingly and found his possessive body as well as his unhappy face. He suddenly made it clear and said with an apologetic smile, “You’ve misunderstood. It’s a misunderstanding. I just want to greet Ms. Luo.”

“It’s you that have a misunderstanding.” Luo Xiaoxi gently shook off Su Yicheng’s hand and said, “I don’t know him at all!”

But beyond her expectation, Su Yicheng was not angry at Luo Xiaoxi’s words at all. He even said with a perfect smile in his face, “Manager Teng, maybe you’d like a new kind of cocktail made by the bartender at the counter over there.”

Teng Jun had not heard any affairs about Luo Xiaoxi and Su Yicheng during his more than two months’ time in City A. He almost believed in Luo Xiaoxi whom said she did not know him.

But Su Yicheng’s behavior apparently showed that he was putting up with his little girlfriend who had vented her spleen.

Teng Jun recognized that he wasn’t Su Yicheng’s opponent, so he walked away with a tactful nodding.

Luo Xiaoxi glowered at Su Yicheng with her hand on her waist and yelled, “Why did you do that!?”

“You lied,” Su Yicheng said coldly.

It was not the answer Luo Xiaoxi had expected, so she was confused and asked, “What do you mean?”

“You told Teng Jun that you didn’t know me,” Su Yicheng said while his eyes were blazing with anger. “Then who was the man you wooed 10 years ago?”

That was just the untouchable past which Luo Xiaoxi wanted to hide. She felt angered, how Su Yicheng dared to mention it?!

Luo Xiaoxi could hardly control her temper and shouted, “I was blind 10 years ago, but now I’ve got good eyes! No longer would I take a look at you, so you can forget about that! Please don’t just show up directly within my eyesight like this anymore. You’ve ruined my joy!”

“Your joy?” Su Yicheng asked with his eyes turning dim. “Is talking with Teng Jun a joy to you?”

“Anything that is not about you can be my joy now!” Luo Xiaoxi resorted to sophistry, making up her mind to infuriate Su Yicheng.

Su Yicheng was really enraged for she denied all of their past. But he still showed a cool face, while anger surged from deep within his eyes, and said, “Luo Xiaoxi… fine then!”

When Luo Xiaoxi was wondering if she had gone too far, Su Yicheng’s mobile phone suddenly rang. There came Xiao Yunyun’s voice.

“Cousin Brother, my cousin sister started vomiting again. Doctor Tian said you’d better come to the hospital.” Xiao Yunyun was almost crying at the end of her words.

Su Yicheng paled and said, “I’ll be there right away!”

He glared at Luo Xiaoxi, letting the thought of teaching her a lesson go for a while. Then he turned around and hurried out of the bar.

“Hey…” Luo Xiaoxi wanted to buttonhole Su Yicheng. But he left at a quick pace, with his figure disappearing in a flash at the door. She looked toward the direction he had left, feeling empty within her heart.

At that moment, Qin Wei came up to her lightly with a cup of cocktail in his hand and said, “Xiaoxi, you went too far just now. Anyhow, you should have given respect to Su Yicheng in front of so many people.”

“I didn’t expect him to come, and I didn’t mean to speak to him that way,” Luo Xiaoxi scratched in her hair with frustration. “I just can’t figure out why I want to exasperate him today.”

Qin Wei asked with laughter, “Did you want to anger him to death?”

“Not really!” Luo Xiaoxi denied at once. “I just… wanted to make him angry.” She thought seriously for a while and came to a conclusion, “Maybe I was still angry with him, and I was just venting my spleen!”

Qin Wei showed his disdain with a sigh. “In my eyes, you just wanted to draw his attention.”

“Nonsense!” Luo Xiaoxi felt shocked by something and denied in a hurry, “I don’t need that at all!”

“Just look at yourself. You’ve overreacted.” Qin Wei shook his head, started analyzing to Luo Xiaoxi and said, “Things have changed a lot during the three months you left. You’re not sure if Su Yicheng is still regretting about you, nor were you sure if he has started a new relationship. So, you drew his attention that way to prove that his heart is full of you as before.”

Luo Xiaoxi did not want to admit Qin Wei’s analysis, nor could she deny it.

“Let me tell you something,” Qin Wei said, “Su Yicheng had no girlfriend during the three months you left. Instead, he often went to see your parents on weekends. He had never been to parties with a female companion nor gotten too close to a girl. He has been keeping his integrity.”

All at once Luo Xiaoxi ran out to the door, but could not see Su Yicheng anywhere. What responded her was only the cold wind at late night blowing across the hall.

Su Yicheng had arrived at the hospital by that time.

Su Jianan was nearly collapsed after throwing up all the food she had for dinner, so Doctor Tian had to give her an infusion. She lay on the bed feebly, like a little fish that was barely breathing.

Doctor Tian called Su Yicheng out of the ward and said regrettably. “You’d better persuade her to give up if she’s the same after the Spring Festival. There is hardly anywhere left on her body to receive an infusion.”

After Su Yicheng came into the ward, Su Jianan struggled to open her eyes and looked at him. She wanted to say something but could barely get a word out.

He held Su Jianan’s hand and said, “If you want to say something, tell me tomorrow. Just sleep and I will stay here with you.”

Within minutes, Su Jianan was sunk in a deep sleep, exhausted.

Su Yicheng pulled over a deck chair, lying down with a quilt covering his body, but could not fall asleep at all.

Things about Su Jianan, Luo Xiaoxi who didn’t seem to forgive him… He wondered if he could have a happy Spring Festival.
