Chapter 347: When to Forgive Li Beijue
Cai Xiaotang looked at the delicate ring in her hand, and a feeling of unreality suddenly arose in her heart.
Immediately after, she saw another slender hand holding an identical ring, pulling her hand over.
The sound prompting the two of them to exchange rings also rang in her ears.
Cai Xiaotang's gaze flickered for a moment, and she let Li Xiao pull her hand over.
A tide of applause erupted from the audience below the stage.
Watching the ring in Li Xiao's hand being slipped onto her finger, the heavy stone that had been hanging in Cai Xiaotang's heart finally fell with a thud.
Things had reached this point; there really was nothing left to struggle with now...
Thinking this, Cai Xiaotang slipped the ring in her hand onto Li Xiao's finger, and she couldn't help but meet his deep gaze.
Yet she discovered he was curling his lips, examining the ring on his hand.
Cai Xiaotang couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart.
He was putting on quite an act... Anyway, no matter what this guy was up to, as long as her personal safety was resolved, she would get a divorce immediately, without wasting a single second!
Just as Cai Xiaotang was thinking this, she felt her arm being gently nudged by someone.
"Xiao Tang, why are you spacing out again? It's time to throw the bouquet..." Jiang Baobao whispered, reminding her at Cai Xiaotang's side.
Cai Xiaotang snapped back to reality and hurriedly nodded, only to see that quite a few young girls had already stood up from their seats, crowding toward the front of the stage, looking at the bouquet in her hands with anticipation.
Seeing this, Jiang Baobao also hurriedly said, "I won't join in the fun; I'll stand a bit further back. Anyway, there's nothing left for me to do here..."
As she spoke, she took the initiative to walk off the stage and stood behind the crowd.
Cai Xiaotang couldn't stop her in time and could only watch Jiang Baobao walk away, but she suddenly had an idea.
She watched calmly as Jiang Baobao stood still at a certain spot, then turned around with the bouquet.
"Is everyone ready? I'm going to throw the bouquet now!"
This was the only part Cai Xiaotang was looking forward to, and her tone carried a hint of excitement.
The group of girls below the stage preparing to catch the bouquet immediately struck their poses, all looking eager to try.
Cai Xiaotang turned with the bouquet, silently calculating the distance to throw it into Jiang Baobao's arms.
Jiang Baobao, however, was no longer paying attention to this side, as she was focused on talking to the two little ones beside her.
"Mommy, it seems we can't go home tonight. Great-grandfather just said he wants us to go home with him tonight..."
Mobai said in a low voice, holding Jiang Baobao's hand.
Hearing this, Jiang Baobao immediately revealed a troubled expression.
After thinking for two seconds, she said, "Of course you can. If Great-grandfather wants you to keep him company, then go ahead. But Mommy can't go with you. Be good, and then I'll have Daddy come pick you up tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay." Mobai and Yanbao nodded in agreement.
On stage, Cai Xiaotang had already struck a pose to throw the bouquet, her little mental abacus clicking away.
How could Baobao not catch her bouquet!
Hopefully, this bouquet would bring her some good luck!
Thinking this, Cai Xiaotang immediately raised her arm high and threw the bouquet in her hand hard toward the back!
In an instant, all the girls below the stage reached out their hands.
Yet they could only watch as the bouquet followed a high parabolic arc, passing over everyone's heads and flying toward the direction further back.
Jiang Baobao was looking down at the two little ones in front of her when her peripheral vision suddenly sensed something flying toward her!
She turned abruptly and instinctively raised her hands, catching the flying object in her arms.
She then stared blankly at the bright flowers in her arms.
This is... the bouquet?
How did it end up in her arms?
Jiang Baobao blinked, unable to react for a moment.
Yet she heard friendly applause and laughter ringing out all around.
"Wow, the bridesmaid caught the bouquet!"
Cai Xiaotang's teasing voice rang out not far away.
Jiang Baobao finally realized what was going on, looking helplessly at the person on stage, caught between laughter and tears.
She had already said she didn't want the bouquet, so how did it still end up in her arms?
That girl Xiao Tang is really something...
Jiang Baobao smiled helplessly at Cai Xiaotang and had no choice but to accept the bouquet.
She then felt two burning gazes land on her.
She instinctively looked up and met the gaze of Li Beijue, who was still on stage, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
The other party's gaze was far too direct and undisguised, and the deep, fervent meaning hidden within it made Jiang Baobao's heart suddenly tremble slightly.
Li Beijue... why is he looking at her like that?
Jiang Baobao inexplicably felt a bit flustered and hurriedly sat down in the last row of seats, pulling Yanbao and Mobai with her without another word.
On stage, the ceremony continued.
Li Laoyezi was invited onto the stage to deliver his blessings to the newlyweds, and only then could the wedding ceremony be considered officially concluded.
The remainder was free time for the guests, who could enjoy the lavish buffet as they pleased.
Jiang Baobao took the two little ones back to the villa to change into comfortable clothes, then brought them back to the venue to find something delicious to eat.
"Mommy, is it okay that Tiantian isn't with us?"
Yanbao asked while his big eyes searched everywhere for Tiantian's figure.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw her being pulled along by Shen Lingfeng, with five team members surrounding them, each holding a small cake, seemingly asking Tiantian which one she wanted to eat.
Seeing this, Jiang Baobao couldn't help but smile and shake her head: "It seems we don't need to worry; Uncle Shen will take good care of Tiantian."
Jiang Baobao said this while pulling Mobai and Yanbao toward the other side.
Halfway there, she heard Li Laoyezi shout loudly at her, "Girl Jiang! Come over here!"
Jiang Baobao paused her steps, sighed helplessly in her heart, and then led the two little ones over.
Li Laoyezi was surrounded by quite a few people; besides Li Xiao and Cai Xiaotang, Li Beijue and Li Beichen were also nearby.
"Great-Grandpa!"
Mobai and Yanbao shouted loudly while simultaneously grabbing the old man's hands affectionately.
Li Laoyezi beamed with joy, first rubbing the two little ones' heads, then smiling as he suddenly looked at Jiang Baobao and asked, "Girl Jiang, you've caught the bouquet, so when will you consider forgiving this brat Beijue?"
"Huh?" Jiang Baobao was stunned by the question, her expression momentarily blank.
The next second, she heard the two little ones joining in the teasing from the side: "Yeah, Mommy, when will you forgive Daddy?"
Jiang Baobao was left speechless by the question and instinctively raised her eyes to look in the direction of Li Beijue.
She immediately saw him looking at her with the corners of his lips curled up.
Seeing this, Jiang Baobao was momentarily rendered speechless.
Why wasn't this guy saying anything!
Shouldn't he be the first one to jump out and object!
