Chapter 345: The Little Girl Meets the Old Man

On the other side of the villa—

In the room at the end of the hallway, Li Beijue was making his final adjustments in front of the mirror.

Immediately, he heard someone nearby tease: "Tsk tsk tsk, it's not your wedding today, dressing up so handsomely as a groomsman, are you here to steal my spotlight?"

Li Beijue's hand, which was adjusting his tie, paused slightly. He turned around, speechless, and looked at the person sitting on the sofa with their legs crossed.

He then retorted unhurriedly: "Little Uncle, I only just realized today that you are so unconfident about your own looks."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiao swept a speechless glance at the person in front of him.

"You brat, you really get less cute the older you get!"

Li Beijue countered calmly once more: "Although you can call me that, in reality, there is only a four-year age gap between us; doing that will only make you seem old."

Li Xiao gave him another annoyed eye-roll and simply stopped talking.

Immediately after, he saw out of the corner of his eye that Li Beijue was walking in his direction, and suddenly asked: "So... why are you getting married all of a sudden?"

Li Beijue's expression carried a hint of inquiry; he seemed somewhat puzzled.

He understood Li Xiao's personality.

It was impossible for Li Xiao to make such a decision casually.

And... the person he was marrying was Jiang Baobao's good friend.

Li Beijue's gaze was locked tightly onto the person in front of him, as if trying to discern some clue from Li Xiao's expression.

Li Xiao, however, curled his lips casually.

"What's so sudden or not sudden about it? When you meet someone you like, you naturally want to get married."

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for a moment, and he sat down beside Li Xiao.

He didn't believe a single word of what had just been said.

Yet, he didn't say anything more.

Li Beijue pondered for two seconds, then suddenly changed the subject: "After the wedding, do you plan to return to the company?"

"No plans to. Aren't you managing the company very well? I won't go back to add to your trouble; I was never good at it anyway."

Li Xiao answered without a second thought.

Upon hearing this, Li Beijue paused slightly and couldn't help but frown a little.

Li Xiao had never managed any company affairs, only receiving monthly dividends from the company deposited into his account to cover his usual expenses.

He had also always been, in the eyes of outsiders, that idle Li Family Third Master who didn't concern himself with worldly affairs.

But Li Beijue always felt that Li Xiao seemed to be doing something behind the scenes.

He had once sent people to investigate in secret, but had always come up empty-handed.

Just as Li Beijue was thinking this, he suddenly heard someone knock on the door outside.

"Third Master, it's about time; the ceremony can begin, and the bride's side is ready as well."

The master of ceremonies' voice sounded from outside the door.

"Let's go." Li Xiao rose from the sofa and raised an eyebrow at Li Beijue.

Li Beijue nodded, temporarily withdrawing his thoughts, and left the room with Li Xiao.

Outside the Resort, there was an entire stretch of lawn.

Rows of exquisitely styled chairs had long been set up there, along with various flowers and balloons, looking dreamy and beautiful.

The arriving guests were all dressed in formal attire, holding wine glasses and exchanging pleasantries.

Most of them, however, were holding their wine glasses and gathering around Li Laoyezi and the Mu Jia.

Except for a group of six young boys sitting in chairs, quietly playing on their phones, and a little girl quietly reading a fairy tale book with great interest.

"Tsk... wearing this kind of formal attire is really too uncomfortable..."

After a game ended, one of the boys put down his phone and adjusted his tie uncomfortably.

"It's really uncomfortable to the point of exploding..."

The others also chimed in one after another.

As soon as the words fell, they heard the little girl sitting in the very middle say in a crisp voice: "But you brothers all look very handsome dressed like this!"

"Is that so? Since the little princess says so, then we'll just have to bear with it!"

Someone laughed as they replied, and the rest of them followed suit.

This group of people was none other than the Star Team, with little Tiantian, whose leg injury had not yet fully healed.

Today, they should have stayed at the Team for training as usual, but when the group heard that Cai Xiaotang was holding a wedding, they immediately asked Jiang Baobao for leave one after another, wanting to attend, and even volunteered for extra training.

Jiang Baobao had no choice but to agree, and incidentally entrusted Tiantian, who had a special identity, to the care of these few people.

As the few were talking, they suddenly saw Li Beijue and Li Xiao walking toward them from not far away.

Xiao Ding blurted out instantly: "Eh? Someone's coming! Isn't that our golden patron? The one next to him must be the groom, right?"

His voice was neither loud nor soft, instantly attracting the attention of a group of people nearby.

Seeing that it was indeed Li Beijue and Li Xiao, the group immediately went up to greet them, offering congratulations one after another.

Li Laoyezi was dressed in a red Tang suit, his face full of festive cheer; leaning on his cane, he was about to walk toward the two of them.

His gaze, however, inadvertently swept across the seats, and a small figure in a purple princess dress suddenly entered his field of vision.

Li Laoyezi's footsteps faltered, and he paused subconsciously.

He happened to meet the little girl's large eyes as she looked over suddenly.

Tiantian looked at the old man staring at her from not far away, blinked her eyes, and her little head spun rapidly.

This should be the great-grandfather the brothers mentioned, right?

He looks... like a very good-tempered old grandfather...

The brothers also said that the great-grandfather is very, very good...

The little girl thought this, then suddenly grinned, flashing a sweet smile at Li Laoyezi.

Li Laoyezi's gaze paused slightly, as if dazzled by this radiant smile, and a trace of surprise could not help but flash in the depths of his eyes.

This child... why does it feel like I've seen her somewhere before...

Looking at the big smile on the little girl's face, Li Laoyezi could not help but let a hint of a smile appear on his own face, inexplicably feeling a touch of softness in his heart.

He then let his gaze sweep over the few young boys nearby, finally settling on Shen Lingfeng.

These few... should be Xiao Tang's friends, and this little girl should be the daughter of the man who looks the oldest among them...

"Old Master, why are you still here? Hurry and go sit in the main seat."

Someone spoke suddenly by his ear, pulling back Li Laoyezi's attention.

Li Laoyezi snapped back to his senses, then hurriedly nodded and turned to walk in the direction of the front row of seats.

Not far away, Li Beijue and Li Xiao were already standing in their assigned positions.

Inside the villa, Cai Xiaotang and Jiang Baobao, who was acting as a bridesmaid, were also ready.

"Ah... the ceremony is about to start..."

Cai Xiaotang held the bouquet in her hand and suddenly sighed aloud.

Hearing this, Jiang Baobao couldn't help but shake her head with a smile; just as she was about to speak, she heard Cai Xiaotang suddenly ask: "Should I just give the bouquet to you in a while? How about I add some romantic luck for you?"

"I don't want it! You should just toss it!" Jiang Baobao hurriedly waved her hands in refusal, looking at the bouquet in her hand as if it were a ferocious beast.

She didn't want any romantic luck!

Having an "ex-husband" like Li Beijue, who never knows what he's thinking all day long, is already enough to deal with!
