Su Wan subconsciously wanted to escape from this furnace-like heat, but a very nasal and incredibly aggrieved voice suddenly came from above her.
"Sister, I feel uncomfortable…"
"Ajue, don't panic, the exclusive medicine will be delivered shortly. You'll feel less uncomfortable soon."
"Sister won't leave me, right?"
Su Wan: "…"
This was a tough question to answer, considering the wedding of these two had been a bit of a fiasco.
Ajue seemed rather incoherent now. Perhaps, after he sobered up, he might be the one wanting to leave.
Just as Su Wan was about to explain something, she suddenly noticed Ajue leaning in to touch her mouth gently, resembling a child savoring candy, tenderly making contact, lingering and reluctant to let go.
Su Wan shuddered all over. This was nothing like the kiss during the wedding ceremony!
She suddenly understood what it meant to be his "exclusive medicine"!
When she came to her senses, she saw Ajue's beautiful eyes, glistening like gems, full of mist. His frowned, aggrieved expression was heart-breaking.
"Sister…"
As he spoke, tears fell, leaving a faint trail on his pale cheek.
Su Wan's heart instantly softened.
She had always had a soft spot for such adorable and handsome young men, especially since he had indeed done her a great favor just now.
Tit for tat...
Most importantly, Ajue looked so stunning in his current state!
His tousled hair fell across his pale forehead; his large, already dewy eyes, now brimmed even more with moisture, looking at you filled with boundless trust and anticipation.
Then there were his occasionally trembling, fluffy ears, and his wonderfully soft, bushy tail, wrapped tightly around her waist.
She wondered why her mother had not brought the exclusive medicine yet.
But Su Wan knew that Ajue's condition could not wait any longer!
Lowering her gaze, she finally nodded gently, "Okay."
…
Outside the banquet hall, Su Zhen saw his wife leaving hurriedly and followed her.
He stopped his wife, angrily asking, "What in the world happened, how could Xiaowan suddenly replace her groom with another man? Who is that guy?"
Lin Ranyue shook her head, "I'm not clear on the specifics either, but it's evident that Huo Yichang can't make it back. Having a new groom might at least prevent the wedding from looking too awkward. I'm going to find out exactly what happened from Xiaowan now."
Su Zhen's face darkened, "It's just as well, I'll go with you. This girl has gotten too bold, doing whatever she pleases! How am I supposed to explain this to the Huo Family?"
Lin Ranyue was speechless, "Explain what? Shouldn't it be the Huo Family giving us an explanation?"
"Nevermind, there are business matters involved that you wouldn't understand. Let's go and ask Xiaowan!"
Lin Ranyue thought of the exclusive medicine she had gotten from her oldest son and suddenly felt that it wasn't the right time for her husband to go there.
She said tactfully, "Xiaowan is not in a good state right now, wait here, let me ask her first."
"No need, I want to ask her personally!"
Seeing her husband insist, Lin Ranyue became thoroughly enraged.
She retorted, "What are you so angry about! It's certain Huo Yichang won't be coming. Shouldn't your anger be directed at the Huo Family? I may not understand business matters, but if the groom was absent all day, do you realize how much harm that would do to Xiaowan? Instead of having Xiaowan marry a random man we don't know, isn't it better that she chose someone herself and is happy with him?"
Su Zhen snapped back, "She's spoiled because of you! If she was half as sensible as Xiaoman, today wouldn't have been so embarrassing for me!"
Lin Ranyue sneered, "You're complaining about being embarrassed? When Huo Yichang didn't show up, did you even consider your daughter's feelings? How dare you suggest Xiaowan should learn from Su Man? Huo Yichang stood up Xiaowan because of Su Man! I want to ask you, after favoring Su Man so much over the years, is Xiaowan your daughter, or is it Su Man?"
"Slap!"
A slap silenced them both.
