Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 93: Doesn’t Seem Like Picking Up the Bride, More Like Snatching the Bride
Du Weiwei quickly said, "Sir, attending the wedding will be very dangerous! What if they discover you..."
"You don’t need to worry about other matters, just make sure to get me in there tomorrow!"
"Yes."
To Du Weiwei, it seemed a trivial matter to simply escort Lord Lucifer into the wedding banquet.
As for the rest, Du Weiwei had no desire to get involved.
Having just been released, she had no wish to return to the Interstellar Prison.
After relinquishing her bedroom to Lucifer, Du Weiwei turned to squeeze in with her daughter for the night.
The next day, when Su Man saw a very ordinary-looking young man in the room,
Du Weiwei introduced him, "Xiaoman, this is your uncle, coming from the Seventh District. He’ll join us at the wedding banquet today."
Seeing that her uncle hailed from the Seventh District and looked very ordinary, as if he was unsophisticated, Su Man didn’t pay much attention.
She greeted him and then turned her attention to her outfit for the day.
When Su Zhen arrived to pick up the mother and daughter, he was briefly taken aback by Lucifer’s disguised appearance.
Du Weiwei explained, "Ah Zhen, my cousin just happened to be touring the First Star District, so I’m taking him with us to the wedding banquet for some exposure."
Su Zhen gave a non-committal hum, thinking nothing of it.
But there was a faint shadow of fatigue beneath his eyes.
Having been scolded by Old Master Su for several hours the night before had caused Su Zhen to rest poorly that night.
The group of four boarded the aircraft and set off.
**
There’s much to do for a wedding, and Su Wan had risen early that day.
Queen Luo Manya had specially called over her trusted maids to help Su Wan get ready.
Luo Jina quickly changed into her bridesmaid outfit, but due to rising so early, she yawned continuously, her eyes brimming with tears.
She leaned on Sheng An, looking completely boneless.
Luo Jina remarked, "Getting married is no easy task, having to wake up so early. I dread to think that it’ll be my turn next year!"
Su Wan laughed, "Actually, it’s not so bad once you get through it."
"Xiaowan, I really admire you, having gone through this twice. How tiring!"
Miss Luo, sometimes, spoke without much filter.
Fortunately, Su Wan wasn’t offended, after all, her partner for both weddings had been Gu Jue.
Meanwhile, Sheng An felt the topic was a bit inappropriate and steered the conversation elsewhere, "Jina, you’re getting married next year too?"
"Yes, I’ll be twenty next year. I have a fiancé, the cousin of that chubby Duoduo, named Agros. He just graduated from Empire University this year and has joined the military department," Luo Jina paused and frowned, "Speaking of which, I haven’t seen him for over a year, almost forgotten what he looks like."
Hearing this, Su Wan was taken aback, "If you’ve forgotten what he looks like, are you still going to marry him?"
Luo Jina replied, "What else can I do? Our families are well-matched, and I have to marry someone. Isn’t it all the same whom I marry?"
Despite the discord between Luo Jina and Pandora,
the two families maintained excellent relations.
Su Wan could understand Luo Jina’s decision, or rather, it was a decision that many in their position would make.
Not everyone is able to find perfect love before turning twenty.
Initially, Su Wan had thought the same, which was why she had chosen Huo Yichang.
If Gu Jue hadn’t appeared on her wedding day, perhaps...
She would have either married Huo Yichang or been randomly assigned a husband by the system.
But Gu Jue did appear.
And she fell in love with him at first sight.
Perhaps, that was the fate between her and Gu Jue.
Lin Ranyue looked at the young girls chatting with a loving gaze.
She vaguely remembered her own wedding from years ago.
Ah, who hasn’t experienced their youth?
However, the moment Lin Ranyue thought of Su Zhen’s old face, she instantly stopped reminiscing.
Forget it, it’s a mood killer.
Meanwhile, the groom Gu Jue had already finished getting ready.
The commander, accustomed to wearing military uniforms, was today wearing a silver-grey suit with a Western cut, but the buttons were golden braided clasps.
The combination of the two styles softened the commander’s fierce aura, adding a touch of gentleness instead.
Standing by his side were Li Rui, Eric, and others.
A line of officers in uniform stood by, their presence immensely imposing.
It didn’t look like a wedding procession, but more like a bridal raid...
When the bride finished applying her makeup and the auspicious time arrived, the groom carried the bride onto the aircraft, and they headed to the Imperial Palace together.
Only the main members of the Imperial Family had the privilege to hold their weddings at the Imperial Palace.
The last wedding held at the Imperial Palace was that of the current His Excellency, Gu Zilan.
Before that, it was Gu Zilan’s father, also Gu Jue’s brother, Gu Yuan.
The collateral branches of the Gu Family did not have the right to hold their weddings at the Imperial Palace.
Gu Jue checked the time now and then.
Eric and the others could tell that their commander was getting anxious!
Tsk, the commander might be the War God, but at this moment, he’s just an ordinary man, huh?
Eager to see his beautiful bride soon.
And just as Gu Jue checked the time for the ninth time, White Tiger fluttered its little wings excitedly.
"Master, it’s time! You must go to receive your lady!"
Gu Jue’s lips curled slightly as he adjusted his outfit in the mirror once more before stepping out.
Eric teased the fluttering White Tiger, "White Tiger, why are you even happier than the commander getting married?"
White Tiger usually used a silver orb to represent itself, complete with wings.
But today, on this joyous occasion, it had chosen a red shell specially for itself.
White Tiger: "When the master gets married, the mansion will have a lady, and it will be filled with the warmth of a home, haven’t you noticed everything’s been renovated? Forget it, there’s no point explaining to a single dog like you."
Eric’s mouth twitched.
Damn, was he being despised by an AI?
Over here, Su Wan was aware it was time. Dressed in a pristine white wedding gown with a mermaid hem, every step she took made the hem sway enticingly.
The wedding dress was beautiful, and she was even more so; the court ladies all offered auspicious words.
Lin Ranyue suddenly felt a lump in her throat and embraced her daughter.
"Although Su Zhen is quite an asshole, he did do one good thing, and that’s giving me you. We were destined to be mother and daughter."
Su Wan felt a sourness in her nose as she said, "Mom, you didn’t just give birth to me, but also to my brothers."
"Oh, they can be considered freebies."
Lin Ranyue had once adored her two sons, but the elder spent most of his time at the Beastman Nurturing Base and grew distant from her.
As for the second son, he was always a rebel, pursuing a career as a superstar early on, bustling about all day and seldom coming home.
Daughters are better, they’re mom’s little cotton-padded jackets!
Now that her little cotton-padded jacket was getting married, Lin Ranyue felt incredibly reluctant to let her go.
Just then, Gu Jue arrived with his rather sizable entourage of groomsmen, capturing everyone’s attention.
Lin Ranyue sniffled, and quickly handed her daughter over to her son-in-law.
