My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 461 - 030: Kiss_2

Chapter 461: 030: Kiss_2
As Lu Jingang walked past her, Mu Lezhu let out a cold laugh, raising a hand to smooth her long hair. For 27 years, Mu Lezhu had always been proud, but ever since she met Lu Jingang, this man has repeatedly belittled and mocked her.
She admitted that in terms of business tactics, she was not as decisive and swift as he was. However, she was constantly striving to learn. Every time her efforts were trampled by him like this, Mu Lezhu found it laughable, yet she was helpless because she really couldn’t find any words to refute him.
Hence, from the initial mutual abhorrence to the current disdain, they were simply not suited to be together. The married life ahead was even more imaginable, but this was her grandfather’s decision. Besides, if it weren’t for Lu Jingang, at the previous shareholders’ meeting, the Mu Group would have long changed its surname. Their family’s business would essentially have been handed over to others. She didn’t have any solutions, and could only rely on staying by his side to ensure her grandfather’s hard work wasn’t exploited by those with ulterior motives.
What she could do now was endure and endure once more. Even if she had to abandon all her pride, no matter how aggrieved, she could only persevere.

Since the collaboration with the Lu Group officially began, there had been increasing interactions between the two parties. The focus of this quarter was on the design department. So Yun Qi entrusted Yun Xi full responsibility for this collaboration, making Yun Xi even more frequently in contact with the Lu family, gradually becoming acquainted with Mu Lezhu.
On June 21st, it was the wedding day of Cen Jin and Jiang Baizhou. As a bridesmaid, Ye Lingran accompanied Cen Jin early in the morning to the hotel where the wedding was held to start doing her bridal makeup. Lu Shishu, Yu Feici, and Yun Xi also arrived early.
Seeing Cen Jin, wearing the wedding dress she designed herself, walk over to Jiang Baizhou, Ye Lingran genuinely smiled, with a hint of envy in her gaze.
Sitting below the stage, Yun Qi watched her in her light blue strapless bridesmaid gown, observing every subtle movement of hers, unable to resist a slight curl of his lips as a thought suddenly sprouted in his mind.
When it came time to throw the bouquet, Yun Qi was pulled over by Lu Xize to stand there, having no intention to compete for it. Yet, by a stroke of fate, the bouquet inexplicably ended up in his hands, followed by Yun Xi’s various teasing remarks, which made Ye Lingran somewhat embarrassed, grabbing her skirt and jogging away.
The entire day, Ye Lingran and the other bridesmaids were incredibly busy. By the time dinner rolled around, since Cen Jin and Jiang Baizhou were the main focus today, drinking was unavoidable. However, Cen Jin couldn’t hold her alcohol well, so as bridesmaids and groomsmen, they undoubtedly had to help block the drinks for them.
Lu Shishu and Yu Feici were easy to handle since they were both heavy drinkers. Yun Xi also had a good tolerance, but Ye Lingran had the poorest tolerance amongst them. After drinking at three consecutive tables, Ye Lingran’s face had turned a bit flushed. However, since Lu Shishu, Yu Feici, and Yun Xi all took good care of her, she hadn’t drunk much. Her consciousness remained clear, and she walked without swaying.
But upon reaching the fifth table, Ye Lingran clearly wasn’t doing well. When it came to Yun Qi’s table, after taking a sip, Ye Lingran apologized, covered her mouth with one hand, held her skirt with the other, and ran off.
Cen Jin quickly covered for her, signaling to Yun Xi and Yu Feici to follow and check on her, indicating that she should not join any more rounds for now, given she wasn’t feeling herself.
Grasping the situation, Yun Xi and Yu Feici were about to set down their glasses and follow, only to see Yun Qi already setting his glass aside and getting up to chase after her. The two halted in their steps, as Yun Xi grumbled, "With my brother following her, there won’t be any problem. Those people at the last table were really annoying; we weren’t even familiar with them, yet they insisted on pushing drinks on us."
"Even if you’re angry, you must hold it in today, as it’s Cen Jin and Jiang Baizhou’s big day," Lu Shishu said softly with a faint smile, lowering her voice.
When Yun Qi caught up, Ye Lingran was leaning against the wall with one hand, the other hand clutching her chest, her steps on high heels very unsteady. Just as she was about to stumble, Yun Qi quickly walked over, pulling her into his arms anxiously asking, "Are you okay?"
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Ye Lingran tried hard to stay conscious, but her vision was still blurred and doubled. After squinting her eyes for a while, she finally saw his face clearly: "Yun... Yun Qi?"
