Chapter 866

“Ling Hong, will you be sad when you go to attend your ex-girlfriend’s wedding?” Sister Wan said tentatively .

“Yeah, will you be sad? Didn’t you say that was your true love?” Wu Hai added .

” You are not going to snatch the bride, are you?” Wu Hai took a wild guess even before Ling Hong answered the first question .

On hearing Wu Hai’s wild guess, even Yuan Zhou couldn’t help turning his head and taking a look at Ling Hong .

After all, it happened frequently in history to fly into a rage and do some uncontrollable things for a beauty . But Yuan Zhou was still fearful that Ling Hong would be beaten to death if he dared to snatch the bride from a wedding . Therefore, Ling Hong must be very cautious about such kind of things . If he made up his mind to do that, however, Yuan Zhou really wanted to be brought along with him . He wanted to watch the fun out of curiosity .

“Of course, not . ” Ling Hong looked at Wu Hai contemptuous and said affirmatively .

“Then just go . Why are you asking so much?” said Wu Hai .

“My former lover is going to get married while I’m not the groom . But I’m such a broad-minded and generous man, so I’m going to send my best wishes to her,” Ling Hong said rhetorically .

“Out of sincerity?” Wu Hai looked at Ling Hong in disbelief . There was a suspicious expression on his face .

“Ling Hong, are you all right?” Sister Wan asked gently .

“Yeah, I’m okay . Of course, I am doing that out of sincerity . As long as she’s happy, I feel at ease,” Ling Hong shook his head and said, “Isn’t there a lyric in a song? As long as you live better than me…”

“You don’t really need to go if you feel sad,” Sister Wan couldn’t bear to see Ling Hong say so and hence suggested . She was more experienced in this regard .

“No, I must go . It’s quite good to see her blissfully married . Though I’m not sure if I really loved her, it’s a kind of commemoration to my lost youth . ” Ling Hong’s tone was filled with soul-soothing “chicken soup” .

“Tsk Tsk . Nauseating . ” Wu Hai made a strange sound with a vague meaning . He shook his body as if to get rid of the goosebumps .

“Good luck,” said Sister Wan .

“You have so many girlfriends . Why don’t you take one with you to the wedding? Isn’t that good?” Wu Hai said that casually .

“No, I’d rather go there alone,” Ling Hong said smartly, “If everything goes well, I can probably come back to eat dinner here . ”

“All right . Let’s continue eating now . I’m going to drink tonight . I have bought the beer . ” Ling Hong said smilingly without an expression of reluctance on his face .

“Okay . I’m not going to stand on ceremony with you . ” When Sister Wan found Ling Hong really was so natural and unrestrained, she nodded her head to coordinate him .

“I have mine . Just stay away from my beer . ” Wu Hai immediately revealed his teeth and began to protect his food .

Then, Ling Hong and Wu Hai started to quarrel, again .

Actually, Ling Hong and Sister Wan didn’t discuss loudly and Wu Hai also lowered his voice purposefully when he tried to get in a word . As a result, even the customers who were immersed in the delicacies beside them didn’t hear them clearly . Of course, Yuan Zhou wasn’t one of them as he had extraordinarily sharp eyes and ears .

Occasionally, Wu Hai knew how to behave in a delicate situation . He was also an agreeable person as long as it wasn’t related to his food .

Because of Ling Hong’s invitation, Sister Wan also arrived at the restaurant during the pub time . And naturally, she came across Chen Wei .

“It has been a while . ” Sister Wan greeted him gently .

“Um . ” Chen Wei nodded his head solemnly with a straight face .

“Here to drink beer?” After the greeting, Sister Wan prepared to turn back . But just at that time, Chen Wei asked her again .

“Yeah . Ling Hong is treating, so I came to taste Boss Yuan’s fresh beer . ” Sister Wan nodded her head .

“The beer is nice and tasty . ” Chen Wei promised .

“Then I’m going to have a taste later,” after saying that, Sister Wan turned to talk with Ling Hong .

The atmosphere was… totally awkward between the two while they were talking .

At this time, Ling Hong was busy with the counterattack against Shameless Wu’s verbal aggression and thus wasn’t different from usual . He behaved as if he was not worried about the wedding tomorrow at all .

As for Sister Wan and Chen Wei, they met a few times alone in the coffee shop after the previous blind date . Anything that happened between them later was no longer known to anyone else .

Therefore, the atmosphere in the pub was still as cozy and enjoyable as before . The night passed very soon .

It was a rare occurrence where Sister Wan came to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant again at noon on the following day . Generally speaking, she only went to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant for dinner unless it was the weekend . After all, she had to work in the afternoon and her company was some distance away from Yuan Zhou’s restaurant .

It seemed that she took a taxi here at noon in case Ling Hong came so that she could see him . Even Wu Hai was also very curious . Not knowing if it was on purpose, he wore a long-sleeved shirt, which the front read, “My first lover will marry another man today . ” while the back read, “Don’t be upset . you will still be single tomorrow . ”

As the proverb goes, Wu Hai really deserved a beating . But if someone wanted to beat him, that meant that that person didn’t know much about him . After knowing him better, one should feel like beating him to death .

“At this time of day, the wedding is still going on . He’s not supposed to come back now,” Sister Wan muttered to herself .

“More likely than not, he would be driven out of the wedding ceremony,” said Wu Hai after he heard Sister Wan .

“I don’t think so, he would probably prepare a thick red packet to frighten others,” Sister Wan thought of what Ling Hong had said last night and then said helplessly .

That’s right . After drinking the beer last night, Ling Hong said he would prepare a very thick red packet to frighten the bride and groom . God knows if he would really do it in that way .

“Who cares! Anyway, he has a lot of money and weddings happen to require a lot of money . ” Wu Hai didn’t care about that, as he himself didn’t have a clear conception of money, either .

“The newlyweds usually need to give the guests the return gifts after the wedding . If the red package is too thick, how do you want them to return the gifts?” Sister Wan gave a look at Wu Hai, who did not have any common sense at all, contemptuously .

“I don’t understand these kinds of things . Zheng Jiawei attends to these things for me . ” Wu Hai shrugged .

“Sigh . ” Sister Wan heaved a sigh and said nothing more . She just looked at the street corner and waited for him .

Actually, Sister Wan was a very nice woman . She had been playing the role of an agony aunt in the restaurant . Her only problem was that she liked worrying about others too much .

On the other hand, Wu Hai first went into the restaurant to eat something and then walked out . He didn’t wait outside the whole time .

Sister Wan also returned to her company before work started again .

“It seems that the wedding meal is good . ” Ling Hong still hadn’t appeared by the time the lunchtime came to an end . Yuan Zhou muttered and then saw off the customers .

In the afternoon, Yuan Zhou carried an ice block outside and practiced sculpting it as usual .

The true reason why Yuan Zhou practiced sculpting ice blocks was that sculpting fruits and vegetables was not challenging anymore . He increased the difficulty proactively and hence naturally had to wait until he deftly mastered the skills of ice sculpting before he changed the material again .

In the afternoon these few days, Yuan Zhou just kept practicing ice sculpting .

Some of the ice blocks were big while some others were small . The size wasn’t fixed . As the ice sculptures were difficult to preserve, only a few people would like to take them home .

They would rather leave them here than take them back, so the people could appreciate them for a short time .

Half an hour before Yuan Zhou started to prepare the food ingredients for the dinner, Ling Hong suddenly turned up in the street and rushed toward Yuan Zhou’s restaurant .

“Boss Yuan, can I go inside and sit for a while?” Ling Hong said in a normal tone to Yuan Zhou, who was putting away the kitchen knife .

“Sit anywhere . ” Yuan Zhou put down the kitchen knife and didn’t even raise his head .

“Ta Ta Ta” . Ling Hong walked a few steps into the restaurant and said nothing at all . Yuan Zhou turned to look at him with a strange look . He stood there and thought for a while and then began to tidy things up . He wasn’t going to continue sculpting .

It took him about 5 minutes to tidy everything up . When Yuan Zhou stood outside again, most of the onlookers had left already .
