The Beloved and Pampered Girl-Chapter 818 - : Is Uncle Nervous?
Chapter 818: Chapter 818: Is Uncle Nervous?
The two people who walked onto the stage locked eyes as if no one else existed, and in that moment, they didn’t need to say anything to convey their mushy affection.
“Just now, someone from the best man’s party told me that our groom had to go through a lot of effort and pass numerous trials today to receive his bride.
So now, let’s see if our bride can pass the test we’ve set up for her,” the host said.
“What’s going on, uncle?” Jian Dan whispered.
How come she didn’t remember there being this part of the ceremony?
“It must be the work of those rascals!” Chu Liyuan indicated with his eyes towards the best men group behind him.
“Huh?” Before Jian Dan could figure out what was going on, she was blindfolded.
“What does this mean?” Jian Dan asked after being blindfolded.
“Next, there will be ten gentlemen on the stage, and the bride needs to find her groom among these men to be successful!”
“Ten? Isn’t that a bit too many?” Xiaoting said softly.
Though Xiaoting’s voice was quiet, Shang still heard, “You don’t understand, what’s the fun if there are few people? It has to be a lot, so it’s interesting if she can still accurately find him!”
“But what if she picks the wrong one? How embarrassing would that be?” Xiaoting continued.
“That…” A slight embarrassment also appeared on Shang’s face, “Well, don’t you have any confidence in Jian Dan?” Shang said, attempting to sound confident.
In reality, he was also starting to feel unsure…
What on earth would Chu Liyuan do to them if Jian Dan got it wrong today? He didn’t dare to imagine.
At this moment, Shang silently prayed in his heart, praying that Jian Dan must pick correctly!
But the others didn’t hope for the same thing, to prevent Jian Dan from cheating, they had a girl who didn’t know Jian Dan at all to guide her…
Guided by the girl, Jian Dan approached the first young man.
Just by smelling, Jian Dan knew this man wasn’t her uncle.
But just when Jian Dan was blindfolded, the little devil inside her heart accidentally woke up, because she realized that the one who should be nervous right now was not herself but her uncle.
Therefore, she purposefully lingered a bit longer in front of each man, and her frown never relaxed.
When Jian Dan walked to the sixth man, “It seems our bride is encountering some difficulties. But to accurately pick out her husband among ten men while blindfolded is no easy task, right?” the host laid the groundwork just in case there was a mistake.
“If the bride isn’t sure just by smelling, she can also confirm by touching the gentlemen’s hands!” the host suggested, trying to avoid any awkwardness.
However, as soon as Chu Liyuan heard this, he frowned.
The thought of his lass touching other men’s hands was preposterous, and his piercing gaze shot straight towards the best men on stage.
The best men, of course, were among those ten.
Every member of the best man’s party felt a chill go down their spine because of Chu Liyuan’s glaring.
Then they looked at Chu Liyuan with innocent faces.
This really wasn’t their idea!
The host was certainly “excellent” for taking this liberty!
If they were to suffer because of Chu Liyuan, he shouldn’t think of escaping either…
Unaware of what was happening, the host suddenly felt a chill all over…
At this moment, Jian Dan had reached her uncle…
Actually, as soon as Jian Dan approached her uncle, she already knew because a unique scent clung to Chu Liyuan— a scent Jian Dan was captivated by.
So Jian Dan lingered in front of her uncle for only a brief moment before moving to the next.
The best men’s expressions changed almost simultaneously; everyone else realized if Jian Dan didn’t choose correctly today, their fate would be grim.
The moment Jian Dan left Chu Liyuan, Shang’s heart had already sunk.
Although Chu Liyuan was also nervous, to his relief, Jian Jian didn’t listen to the host and reach out to touch any of the men’s hands.
If any man’s hand had been touched by Jian Jian, he wouldn’t guarantee that hand would still be functioning by evening.
By then, Jian Dan had identified all ten men.
“Bride, do you have your answer now?”
Jian Dan pretended to struggle and nodded hesitantly, “It should be the seventh…”
Chu Liyuan, standing at the eighth position, now had a darkened expression.
Meanwhile, Shang, who stood at the seventh position, truly wanted to vanish in that moment.
Jian Dan, oh Jian Dan, out of everyone you could choose, you had to pick him; now he had no way to escape Chu Liyuan’s torment.
Seeing Jian Dan approaching him, he gave up resisting altogether.
As Jian Dan slowly lifted her arm to point at him, Shang closed his eyes in despair.
But what no one expected was that at the very last moment, Jian Dan turned her finger toward the number eight spot, took hold of the eighth man’s hand with one hand, and with the other, she removed the blindfold from her eyes, a sly triumphant smile on her face, “Uncle, just now when I stood in front of Shang, was your little heart pounding non-stop?”
“My lady, you scared me to death, the one with a pounding heart is me, okay!” At that moment, Shang felt like he had narrowly escaped death.
Seeing Jian Dan’s expression, Chu Liyuan knew that Jian Jian actually had known which number he was all along, that all of it was just her playing around.
“Jian Jian, being this mischievous, how should I punish you?” Chu Liyuan whispered seductively into Jian Dan’s ear…
