Chapter 1317: The Wedding (12)
On this request, Qiao Lian looked in the direction of the hanging chandelier.
Shen Liangchuan looked up and studied the chandelier. Indeed, there seemed to be a dark shadow of something among the lights.
This rendered everyone speechless.
What an extreme location to hide a shoe!
The man quickly stood up on the sofa and retrieved the shoe.
Just as he was about to take Qiao Lian away after she had slipped her shoes on, s.h.i.+ Nianyao came up to them again and said, “Hang on, don’t be in a hurry.”
At these words, she pretended to make an apple appear and held it before the couple.
“The both of you have to take a bite out of this together before we call it a done deal!”
Shen Liangchuan: …
Qiao Lian turned scarlet at once.
It seemed like a tough act, having to bite the apple right in front of so many people.
Looking at s.h.i.+ Nianyao, she said, “Shouldn’t this be something for the bridal hazing instead?”
With a mouth twitch, s.h.i.+ Nianyao retorted, “Don’t think I don’t know how difficult it’s going to be for us to access your home tonight! So this apple has to be eaten now.”
Qiao Lian: …
Shen Liangchuan, on the other hand, could only glance at Mo Xicheng and shake his head, saying, “Mo Xicheng, you and s.h.i.+ Nianyao have made it really difficult for us today. Wait till the day you get married, I will repay you double.”
Mo Xicheng: …
s.h.i.+ Nianyao: …
s.h.i.+ Nianyao’s grip on the apple weakened and it almost fell on the floor. She looked at Mo Xicheng pleadingly.
With a blank expression, the man sighed and said, “Since we’ve come to this, let’s go all the way then! Wouldn’t we be at a terrible disadvantage otherwise?”
An implicit approval. s.h.i.+ Nianyao was immediately excited and started laughing. She said, “Indeed, indeed. If you can’t complete this task, you’re not going anywhere!”
Everyone started to nod in agreement. Having no choice, Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan could only oblige.
The two of them put their hands behind their backs as s.h.i.+ Nianyao held the apple up, swinging the fruit between the couple.
Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan looked at each other in the eye and, the moment the apple swung to the middle, the two of them lunged forward together.
Initially they had thought that like this, they would be able to secure the apple between their mouths and take a bit of it.
But unexpectedly, at the critical moment, s.h.i.+ Nianyao suddenly drew the apple upwards.
Qiao Lian wanted to go back, but it was too late!
On the other hand when Shen Liangchuan saw Qiao Lian lunging towards him, he realized that if he dodged out of the way, the situation would be quite embarra.s.sing for Qiao Lian given that so many people were looking.
Besides, looking at those luscious red lips, he had no desire to dodge anyway. So he kissed them!
“Woah!”
“Rawr.”
“Encore!”
Amidst the din created by the rest, Qiao Lian frantically steadied herself to regain balance. She shot s.h.i.+ Nianyao a dirty look.
The latter stuck out her tongue at Qiao Lian and put the apple away. She said, “Fine, fine. I’m just teasing you guys. Now the groom may take the bride with him. Our bride is running out of patience.”
Qiao Lian blushed again at those words.
Finally at this point, Shen Liangchuan scooped Qiao Lian up into his arms and made his way down with the entourage.
Once they got downstairs, they stood there staring at the cars.
Someone said aloud, “Traditionally, the bride should be escorted by her siblings into her car. Is there no one here from the bride’s family?”
Qiao Lian’s expression darkened at this question.
Qiao Yi was studying abroad. Because of bad timing, he had only taken his university entrance examination the day before. Hence, he would be only arriving tonight.
So now…
