Chapter 591: Destined
Chapter 591: Destined
Shu Pan held the bouquet in her hands, and every unmarried girl had their eyes on it. She originally wanted to give it directly to Xiaomeng, to share the joy, but Xiaomeng smiled and declined, saying it wouldn’t work that way.
So Shu Pan stood in front, with her back to everyone, and a crowd of girls eagerly waited, hoping to catch the bouquet. It was believed that whoever caught it would be the next one to get married.
Gu Huanhuan looked disdainful at this tradition. She had no interest in joining the fray. As someone without even a boyfriend, what use would catching the bouquet serve? She’d rather go find something to eat. After all, she had been busy all morning and was now starving.
Wearing her bridesmaid dress, Gu Huanhuan headed towards the food area. Just then, Shu Pan tossed the bouquet high into the air, and everyone scrambled to catch it.
Somebody accidentally bumped into Gu Huanhuan, causing her to stumble. Just as she was about to kiss the ground, a strong arm wrapped around her waist, preventing her fall. She was just about to say “thank you” when the bouquet landed in her arms, and she found herself leaning against the person supporting her.
Gu Huanhuan felt her head spinning in embarrassment.
What on earth? She didn’t want this! Why did the bouquet have to fall into her arms? She was a powerful and invincible beauty, aiming to make it big in the entertainment industry!
“Miss, while my embrace may be sturdy and warm, do you really feel comfortable leaning on me like this?” a voice beside her sounded, teasingly.
Gu Huanhuan snapped back to reality, feeling a bit bashful. “Sorry,” she mumbled.
At the same time, she turned her head and saw him? Her cousin-in-law’s friend, Wen Chi.
Gu Huanhuan suddenly felt a surge of anger. This person was definitely bad luck for her. Why did she always have such encounters with him? It was like they were destined to be enemies.
“Why is it you again?” Gu Huanhuan said, annoyed.
“It’s me, but I guess I’m your savior, huh? If it weren’t for me catching you, you’d be kissing the ground by now,” Wen Chi furrowed his brow, feeling like today was not his lucky day. Attending Panpan’s wedding was already enough to annoy him, but to have consecutive encounters like this? It was too much.
But women were always unreasonable. He had encountered his fair share of them, but the one before him was exceptionally irrational.
“I’d rather fall on the ground,” Gu Huanhuan retorted stubbornly.
If it weren’t for him, she wouldn’t have caught the bouquet. Who knew if that thing was cursed? What if it attracted a bunch of unwanted admirers? It was just too risky.
Wen Chi felt utterly defeated by her. He realized he was asking for trouble. From now on, if he saw her in trouble, he’d just sit back and enjoy the show.
In the eyes of others, Gu Huanhuan’s luck was unbelievably good. Not only did she catch the bouquet, but she also stumbled right into the arms of a gorgeous guy. Just look at him, so refined and charming, those peach blossom eyes were simply mesmerizing.
All the other women couldn’t help but envy her luck. Why couldn’t they be the ones to stumble into someone like him?
Gu Huanhuan watched as everyone’s gaze focused on Wen Chi, feeling a twinge of disdain. “Are they all blind? Can’t they see he’s just a facade? All glitter and no substance.”
She really wanted to expose his true colors to everyone. But seeing their expressions, she hesitated. Even if she did speak up, would anyone believe her?
Gu Huanhuan resigned herself to her misfortune. After all, her luck had been terrible this year.
With a sigh, she turned to Wen Chi and said, “Hmph, I won’t lower myself to your level.”
With that, she briskly walked away.
