Chapter 847: Chapter 848: If you like it so much, take it!
Looking at the single men and women behind her, Gu Qiangwei intentionally glanced at her friend Huo Yishan’s position, wanting to toss the bouquet her way.
But since she was facing away, it was indeed difficult to throw it precisely to Huo Yishan.
Looking again, Huo Yishan didn’t seem to have any intention of grabbing the flowers. She just stood there for the fun of it, arms not even raised.
Perhaps she had already decided that she wouldn’t be the next to walk down the aisle, so whether or not she reached out, that bouquet wouldn’t end up in her hands.
“I’m going to throw it now!”
This statement seemed to be directed at the single men and women, but actually, it was a hint for Huo Yishan.
Then, the colorful bouquet was thrown into the air. Gu Qiangwei, unable to gauge the strength and direction properly, threw it a bit too far. Single men and women who were trying to get to it first could only watch as the flowers flew over their heads, heading straight to where Li Yuan was standing behind them.
As everyone turned their heads, the flowers landed squarely in Li Yuan’s hands, and he instinctively caught them.
“Ah… what a pity!”
Seeing the bouquet in someone else’s hands, some of the young ladies expressed their disappointment as they left the scene.
Only Huo Yishan remained still, staring blankly at the bouquet now in Li Yuan’s hands, her expression slightly dimmed.
Gu Qiangwei was also stunned. She had meant to throw it to Yishan, but now it was in Li Yuan’s hands. Did it mean that he, too, was about to step into the wedding hall?
No, if he caught the flowers, would Yishan think he was getting engaged to the Ruan Family’s young Miss?
Thinking of this, Gu Qiangwei hurriedly turned to Huo Yishan, only to see her walk towards Li Yuan after a brief pause, jokingly saying, “Congratulations, make sure to invite me to your wedding!”
What seemed like a friendly blessing between friends caused a fleeting pain to cross through the calm depths of Li Yuan’s eyes.
But Huo Yishan laughed openly, and although Li Yuan tried to discern something in those clear eyes, he ultimately found nothing.
Was she really looking forward to him walking into the wedding hall with another woman?
“With all of you getting hitched, it looks like I need to hurry up and find a boyfriend too!” Tilting her head, Huo Yishan spoke with a troubled face.
Only Gu Qiangwei, listening on the side, felt a particular urgency.
“Yishan!”
As she walked over, about to say something, she saw Li Yuan suddenly grab Huo Yishan’s hand and stuff the bouquet into her palm. “If you like it that much, take it then!” he said.
After speaking, he turned and left with an unpleased expression, leaving behind a stunned Huo Yishan.
Looking at the flowers in her hands, Huo Yishan stood dazed in place, her heart indescribably heavy, as if there was a faint pain somewhere.
Looking up, Li Yuan’s figure had disappeared from the wedding venue and was gradually heading towards the hotel’s main entrance.
Since the ceremony had ended, many guests were already heading into the hotel to prepare for the banquet.
Glancing at Li Yuan, Gu Qiangwei turned back to Huo Yishan, still standing in place. “Yishan, what did you mean by what you just said?”
Huo Yishan looked up, her expression somewhat gloomy. “What did I say?”
“About needing to find a boyfriend!”
“Is there something wrong with that?” Gazing at her friend, Huo Yishan then lowered her eyelids. “If I don’t find one now, when all of you are getting married, I’ll really end up alone.”
“Yishan, tell me the truth, do you really not like Li Yuan at all?”
