Chapter 87: A Blissful Flower bouquet

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

At the end of the wedding, the bride was ready to throw out a bouquet that symbolized the passing of happiness.

Unmarried female classmates and relatives cheered and eagerly attempted to catch it. Lin Gantang was pushed forward and, looking up, she saw Jiang Tongtong wink at her.

Lin Gantang was caught up in the joyful atmosphere and smiled.

The bride turned around and threw the bouquet behind her, and everyone laughed and rushed to catch it.

Those who attempted to catch it missed, and the bouquet landed directly in the arms of Wen Yanqing, who was quietly observing Lin Gantang from the sidelines.

Wen Yanqing was momentarily taken aback, but then a smile spread across his face as he presented the bouquet of hydrangea flowers, symbolizing hope, romance, happiness, and reunion, to Lin Gantang.

Amidst the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lin Gantang’s cheeks turned slightly warm.

She caught the bouquet.

“Yo…” Young men and women erupted in cheers, applause, and whistles.

Mr. Lin beamed with joy, and Mr. Wen also wore a friendly expression.

There were no vows of eternal love or sweet words, but the affection in Wen Yanqing’s gaze when he looked at her was enough to make her heart race.

Lin Gantang had never been so surrounded by kind and well-wishing gazes.

She felt a bit embarrassed and wanted to pull someone in front of her as a shield.

So when she spotted Yin Zhen calmly watching the proceedings, it was as if she had found a savior.

“Stop laughing!” Lin Gantang tugged at Wen Yanqing, gave him a disapproving look, and then hurried off to find Yin Zhen.

When Yin Zhen saw her approaching, she instinctively prepared for a conversation. However, Lin Gantang was now wearing a soft apricot gown, and her usually flashy jewelry had been replaced with pearls that exuded a more subtle radiance. Her demeanor seemed serene, and she no longer bore the aggressive air she once did.

For the first time, Yin Zhen realized that Lin Gantang, who had let go of a love that had caused her to lose herself, had shed the debris and revealed her inner radiance.

Lin Gantang stopped in front of her. “Uncle Yin isn’t here?”

“He’s busy, so he sent me to convey his congratulations,” Yin Zhen replied straightforwardly. “And I wanted to thank you for your advice at the Elegant Restaurant.”

Yin Zhen had initially agreed to be with Gao Ruikun out of impulse. Gao Ruikun had always presented himself as courteous.

However, after Lin Gantang’s reminder, Yin Zhen investigated and discovered that Gao Ruikun was utterly despicable. Not only did he maintain an ambiguous relationship with his ex-girlfriend while dating her, but he had also, two years ago, pursued inexperienced college girls and even recommended them to his friends, which essentially amounted to pimping.

On the day she broke up with Gao Ruikun, he had still put on a facade of reluctance and tried to maintain the appearance of being friends after the breakup. Yin Zhen had been so disgusted that she had simply thrown the investigation findings in his face.

Gao Ruikun hadn’t dared to utter a word.

Upon hearing that Yin Zhen had severed all ties with Gao Ruikun, Lin Gantang breathed a sigh of relief. “He was quite cunning. It’s a good thing you managed to get away.”

“I’m surprised you helped me,” Yin Zhen remarked as she looked at Lin Gantang.

“You and 1 have been sparring for so many years. How could 1 let my opponent fall into someone else’s hands?” Lin Gantang replied, playfully making things up.

Yin Zhen saw through her. “Nonsense. Well, you should go quickly. Look at your dad’s expression. It’s as if he’s about to step in any moment.”

Lin Gantang turned around and spotted Mr. Lin glancing in their direction.

“A father who worries unnecessarily,” Lin Gantang quipped. She bid farewell to Yin Zhen and walked away.

Wen Rendong saw that Lin Gantang was alone and wanted to have a chat with her, but he was intercepted by Wen Yanqing halfway.

The warning in Wen Yanqing’s eyes left Wen Rendong feeling bitter. He said, “I mean no harm to her.”

Wen Yanqing remained firm, stating, “This is my relationship. You don’t need to get involved..”
