Chapter 145: Chapter 145 Moved to Tears
After the kiss, Lin Yi didn't forget to continue holding Han Xuewei tightly in his arms. The emcee laughed and said, "Oh, it seems that our groom is not only eager but doesn't think of us as outsiders! Why don't the two of you show a little more restraint?"
Red-faced, Han Xuewei and Lin Yi separated after hearing this.
Han Xuemei looked up at everyone, first at her parents who had raised her for so many years, then at her relatives and friends, and her close girlfriends, before finally resting her gaze on the children. At that moment, her eyes filled with tears of happiness.
Lin Yi was also quite emotional at this time, and he couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat as tears swirled in his eyes.
Seemingly having anticipated this moment, he took out a tissue from his pocket and tenderly wiped Han Xuewei's tears, saying softly, "Vivi, my wife."
At that moment, he could not say anything else; his gentle gaze conveyed all his love.
The emcee also tactfully gave them a moment, and after a short while, stirred up everyone's emotions again.
"Now let's move on to the next fun segment! I invite today's bride to toss her bouquet to the others! Let's see which bridesmaid or groomsman can catch this lucky blessing!"
Upon hearing this, Han Xuewei quickly wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and laughed happily.
She said to Qin Xiaoxu not far away, "Xiaoxu, then I'll just throw it directly to you. You must catch it! Get ready to receive the blessing!"
Qin Xiaoxu immediately snagged the center spot and said to Han Xuewei, "Just throw it. Today this bouquet is a must for me! Don't you guys snatch it away!"
Two bridesmaids teased deliberately, "How can this be acceptable? We have to follow the rules and grab it by our ability!"
The groomsmen also tactfully moved to the edge of the stage at this time, clearing a space for them, "You girls enjoy this kind of thing! We'll stand aside for now."
With that, the competition was lessened, and Qin Xiaoxu's confidence increased.
Compared to the groomsmen, the bridesmaids seemed to value this blessing more, as they saw that everyone had graduated, but some didn't even have boyfriends yet! Who wouldn't want to meet a husband like Lin Yi?
Even if it meant quitting their jobs to be a housewife at home, they were willing to make that sacrifice!
Han Xuewei saw the expectant looks of the bridesmaids and slowly turned around.
She was ready to throw the bouquet!
Closing her eyes gently and taking a few deep breaths, Han Xuewei tossed the bouquet from over her head to behind her!
But as she threw it, the bouquet was leaning sideways, and the next second, Lin Jie, standing on the edge of the field with a stunned look, found himself holding the bouquet and looked around.
"Oh my, I didn't snatch it... it fell into my arms on its own!"
Seeing this, everyone laughed, and the other groomsmen teased, "Hahaha, Lin Jie, this is fate that can't be defied! Brothers are waiting for your wedding banquet! You've got to work harder now!"
But who would have guessed he would just stuff the bouquet into Qin Xiaoxu's arms: "Go on, what's with the teasing? I'm definitely not getting married within the next two years! Take it, take it, you keep it."
However, Qin Xiaoxu was quite displeased, "No, that's yours; you caught it. I don't want it!"
Then she tried to return the bouquet to Lin Jie.
But Lin Jie refused to take it no matter what.
Immediately after, the emcee called Han Xuewei back to the stage, "It seems that our lucky star for today has been born. Now, will this beautiful bridesmaid please come to our stage."
Qin Xiaoxu at this time was also very helpless, after all, today was her best friend's wedding; she couldn't refuse to give even this bit of face, right?
She straightened her clothes and walked toward the stage.
Seeing the scene before their eyes, Lin Jie's parents couldn't have been happier, because in their eyes, the one receiving this blessing was to be their daughter-in-law!
Of course, this was also their expectation, hoping that the next wedding banquet they attended would be for their son and his future bride. How wonderful that would be!
After all, they were both looking forward to holding their grandchildren soon!
"Our bridesmaid today seems very beautiful! I believe all the single men here must have one question: Miss, are you currently single?"
After speaking, he turned with a smile to look at the other groomsmen.
Not only the groomsmen present but also the other men started to cheer along, casting their gazes this way.
While Qin Xiaoxu's beauty might not surpass that of today's bride, Han Xuewei, when seen on her own, she was definitely a pretty lady!
But when Qin Xiaoxu heard the question, she was completely dumbfounded!
Her brain whirred rapidly, at a loss for words in the moment.
At her side, Han Xuewei was anxiously shaking her arm, saying, "Quickly tell everyone, aren't you just in need of a boyfriend?"
Caught in a dilemma, Qin Xiaoxu knew she couldn't admit she was single with Lin Jie's parents watching her!
Yet if she didn't confess, the great opportunity for a relationship might slip away—for good! She didn't know when she would next encounter so many single men!
Oh my goodness! I should never have pretended to be Lin Jie's girlfriend!!
It was a loss far outweighing the gain!!
Ah, I'm so angry!
In the end, Han Xuewei chose to protect the hopes of Lin Jie's parents and, with determination and gritted teeth, she said bluntly, "I'm sorry, I'm not single."
It didn't matter anymore; she wasn't concerned with those things now!
Perhaps all this was arranged by fate! It seemed that her destiny wasn't here.
And naturally, the most surprised by her answer was Han Xuewei: "Ah! Xiaoxu! Not single? When did you find someone? Why didn't you ever tell us? You've kept it so well hidden!"
Qin Xiaoxu hurriedly explained in a whisper, "Wait until we get off the stage, I'll tell you. I said that for a reason."
Han Xuewei looked at Qin Xiaoxu with perplexity, knowing that no matter what the reason she gave today, she would be happy! After all, they were the best of friends!
Upon hearing this, Lin Jie's parents also showed content smiles, believing that the girl still had their son in her heart!
As soon as Qin Xiaoxu finished speaking, the other men in the audience clearly showed looks of disappointment, but Lin Jie didn't seem surprised at all—in fact, his eyes were filled with gratitude!
Qin Xiaoxu was a true friend indeed! Not only did she bear no grudge against him, but she also acknowledged in front of his parents that she wasn't single!
The emcee, having heard her response, expressed regret on behalf of the other single men present: "Oh no, so the lady is not single after all!"
