Chapter 725: Bouquet
Translator: Lordbluefire
Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly taken aback.
This was actually out of order.
After all, the bouquet tossing was supposed to take place after the ceremony, during the celebrations.
Mother Rong was the first to object. “Little Rong, don’t make trouble. We should follow the proper procedure. This isn’t right, it’s not auspicious!”
Rong Rong wanted to say something, but Dr. Xu laughed and said, “Mother-in-law, let her do it.”
Dr. Xu glanced at the time. “We still have five minutes before we need to leave.”
The groom’s arrival was strictly time-bound.
They had already calculated the best time to leave the house, the best time to arrive at the Xu family’s place, and even the best time to go to the hotel…
Since Dr. Xu had agreed, Mother Rong could not continue to object. She could only look at Dr. Xu disapprovingly. “You’re spoiling her!”
Dr. Xu immediately said, “Everyone, spread out…”
Rong Rong turned to Shen Ruojing with a smile. She did not turn her back and just looked directly at her. “Little Jing, catch it-”
Shen Ruojing.”…”
This time, she was a bit embarrassed.
After all, whoever caught the bouquet was the one who would be the next to wed. Although this had never been taken seriously, it came with the bride’s most sincere blessings.
Shen Ruojing nodded.
Rong Rong took a deep look at her but suddenly looked at Chu Cichen. “Mr. Chu, catch!”
She directly threw the bouquet into Chu Cichen’s arms.
Chu Cichen.”??”
Looking at the flowers that suddenly appeared in his hands, he was a bit stunned. After all, only girls would catch bouquets…
While pondering, he heard Rong Rong laughing. “Mr. Chu, good luck! Make sure to marry our Little Jing soon and become her king!”
“Hahaha!” Everyone immediately burst into laughter!
After the bouquet throwing, Dr. Xu looked at the time. “Alright, time’s up, let’s quickly get in the car and leave.”
Everyone promptly got into the cars.
Shen Ruojing could no longer accompany Rong Rong this time. After all, the groom should be in the first car with the bride, while Shen Ruojing was in the second car with the best man, Chu Cichen.
Once in the car, Shen Ruojing looked at the time. “We still have one minute to leave. It’s okay.”
8.28 am was their calculated auspicious time to leave.
Chu Cichen nodded. “Yes, as long as the first car leaves, it counts as departure. The ones behind are not so important.”
“Right.”
Suddenly, Shen Ruojing looked at the bouquet in Chu Cichen’s hand again, feeling somewhat uneasy. “If the bouquet is with you, won’t Rong Rong be without flowers when she gets on stage for the wedding ceremony?”
Chu Cichen also frowned, but before he could think any further, the convoy started moving.
The two of them stopped talking.
Just as they were about to leave, the convoy suddenly stopped.
Although the car had just started moving and the speed was very slow, the sudden brake still made Shen Ruojing’s body lurch forward unconsciously.
Chu Cichen quickly reached out his hand to protect her head.
Fortunately, Shen Ruojing was fine. Her reflex was quick and she managed to stop the momentum before hitting the seat in front of her. But she frowned and looked outside.
As luck would have it, a garbage truck had just turned into the residential area, blocking the road.
They stopped for a moment, and the garbage truck quickly apologized and then left.
Only then did the convoy truly start moving.
For some reason, Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen exchanged a look. When the first car left, Shen Ruojing hurriedly looked at her phone.
The time on her phone had just turned to 29 minutes past 8 o’ clock.
This made Shen Ruojing feel increasingly uneasy.
She unconsciously licked her lips, suddenly saying, “1 suddenly have a bad feeling…”
Before Chu Cichen could say anything, the driver in the driver’s seat spoke up, “Hey, what kind of talk is that? On someone’s big wedding day, you’re talking about bad omens… Let me tell you, being a minute or two off the time is very normal. It’s okay!”
Shen Ruojing also felt that she was being too superstitious today.
How could she believe all of this?
She couldn’t help but give a wry smile and then shook her head at Chu Cichen.
Chu Cichen didn’t say anything and just smiled.
The two of them first accompanied Rong Rong to the new home of Dr. Xu and Rong Rong. Originally, they were supposed to meet the in-laws there, but Dr. Xu’s parents were arriving later that day, so this step was omitted.
After staying at Rong Residence for a while, the crowd headed to the hotel.
Shen Ruojing helped Rong Rong out of the car and handed Chu Cichen’s bouquet to her. “When the wedding ceremony takes place, you should hold this bouquet…”
Looking at the pure white flowers in her hand, Rong Rong suddenly smiled and nodded. “Okay.”
The wedding quickly began.
As the bridesmaid, Shen Ruojing sat at the first table below the stage, witnessing her friend’s happy moment.
She watched Rong Rong get on stage.
But in her hand, there was no bouquet to be seen..
