Tell me about it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Ruoyun shrugged and briefly explained Qi Hui's situation; anyway, his Senior Brother hadn't hidden it from him, nor had he told him not to talk about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chatting with Senior Brother Ling for a bit shouldn't be a big problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh~ so that's how it is.\" Ling Xiaosu suddenly realized, then chuckled: \"Come to think of it, that kid really does have some romantic luck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two were teasing Qi Hui behind his back and soon arrived at the wedding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene was quite grand, with people coming and going, but Ling Xiaosu and Zhang Ruoyun's expressions changed simultaneously, and they subconsciously reached out to grab each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you doing?\" ×2\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I saw my ex-wife!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I saw that Chuan-Yu Tyrannosaurus!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two spoke in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they both fell silent, staring at each other with wide eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That kid Qi Hui isn't being loyal; it looks like we have to rely on ourselves!\" Ling Xiaosu said in a deep voice, taking a slow, deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like that's the only way.\" Zhang Ruoyun also took a deep breath and said slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two looked at each other, their expressions gradually becoming calm and unruffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?
