Chapter 450: 417 was a little model all night, and now I’m exhausted (1 more update)

Tang Su sat in the audience, watching Sun Qing and Bai Dingxian host the lottery segment on stage, bringing the atmosphere to its peak.

It dispersed the gloominess from Jiang Shanshan suddenly appearing with her boyfriend, flaunting their relationship earlier.

Tang Su didn’t know how Sun Qing managed it, but somehow, she made the lottery segment extremely lively.

Initially, when she suggested the idea, Tang Su was not optimistic, but Sun Qing said it was an inspiration she got from attending someone else’s wedding.

After the bride tossed her bouquet, she scattered a bunch of red envelopes containing varying amounts of money, uplifting the spirits of those who failed to catch the bouquet.

Moreover, lotteries always keep people full of anticipation before the draw, even if just for a few hours, which is quite nice.

If you could win a prize, it would be incredible.

Even without big prizes, snagging a small one was still a cause for happiness.

So, Sun Qing had decided that she would include such a segment in her own future wedding to thank the guests who took the time to attend.

When her wedding would take place was still a question mark, so this time, Sun Qing improved upon the idea, since Tang Su was a little rich girl, she decided to give it a try in advance.

The result was that the segment turned out to be quite popular.

In the first round, five special prizes and a third-place prize were drawn, while the second and first-place prizes remained in the box, eager participants naturally looked forward to Sun Qing’s subsequent lottery rounds.

By the end of the third round, the evening was nearly over; everyone had had their fill of excitement, laughter, food, and drink, thoroughly enjoying the festivities.

Especially the lottery, which included the kids; when a child won a prize, they could exchange it for a red envelope with Tang Su and Lu Han. If the outgoing kids threw in an auspicious phrase, they could even get an extra red envelope.

That made the kids even happier.

Two hours later, all the major prizes found their winners; those who drew the big ones were naturally overjoyed, and those with special prizes had hours of anticipation to look back on.

Those who got cash in their red envelopes were delighted with their varied fortunes.

Everyone was extremely satisfied with the lottery segment, and afterwards, they all went about their revelries, playing cards, singing, and so on, while Tang Su was still on her period, and Lu Han, having seen to everyone’s needs, took her home.

On the way back, Little Douding in Tang Su’s arms was fast asleep, having been the center of attention all evening, charming everyone into laughter.

Many cat-loving ladies surrounded it for photos and videos; Little Douding acted as a tiny model for a long time, eating very little at dinner and yawning continuously, nearly exhausted.

Tang Su was also a bit tired; she leaned against the seat back, her eyelids drooping, her head nodding off bit by bit like a pecking hen.

Lu Han slowed the car down, and when stopping at a traffic light, he glanced back at his companions, one human, and one cat, and couldn’t help but smile.

This is what they call ’peaceful times’; indeed, these were peaceful times.

**

Lu Han parked the car downstairs; Tang Su and Little Douding were sound asleep, completely unaware that the car had stopped.

Lu Han unbuckled the seat belt, hesitating whether to wake them or carry them upstairs.

At that moment, his phone rang; the call was from Su Ruoan.

"Lu Han, can you find some time to come over for lunch tomorrow, just you? Is that okay?"

"... Oh, sure, Mom."

Having obtained the marriage certificate, he became Tang Su’s legally protected husband and Su Ruoan’s son-in-law, in every sense of the word.

When a son-in-law calls his mother-in-law "Mom," it’s entirely proper.

"Okay, see you tomorrow then. What would you like for lunch tomorrow? I’ll have your dad go buy the groceries early."

"Just some ordinary home-cooked dishes will do."

"Mm, okay, how was the gathering with Tang Su and your colleagues from the hospital today? Where’s Tang Su?"

"Tang Su fell asleep holding Little Douding. We’ve just returned to the neighborhood."

"Your dad and I just got home too, so I won’t disturb you further. Rest up, and see you tomorrow."

"All right, Mom."

After Lu Han ended the call, Tang Su woke up, rubbing her eyes. The car had been parked for a while, and her subconscious had sensed it.

Little Douding in her arms, smelling Tang Su’s scent, hadn’t opened its little eyes at all.

"Who are you calling ’Mom’? My mother-in-law?" Tang Su heard Lu Han call out "Mom" and thought he meant Bai Wei.

As Lu Han was about to deny it, he remembered Su Ruoan’s reminder to visit her alone tomorrow at noon, so he nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I heard from somewhere that you treated people today and spent a lot of money, so she thought of sending you a big red envelope."

"No need, the large red envelope that Grandpa and Grandpa Bai gave us last time—we haven’t even spent one-fifth of it. I’d feel embarrassed to take more."

"That’s what I told her, too."

Tang Su pursed her lips. "By the way, how much did the bill come to tonight? When we get back, I have to do some calculations. I guess it must’ve been no less than a hundred thousand."

Thinking about how an evening of wining and dining had cost no less than a hundred thousand, Tang Su still felt a sting.

Fortunately, everyone had a great time tonight, especially the spouses of Lu Han’s colleagues. There was a lot of drinking, leading to frequent bathroom breaks, and Tang Su could always hear those spouses praising her each time they went.

Money indeed isn’t everything, but it can buy so many things.

It was the first time Tang Su felt that having money was truly wonderful.

The pains of having money are fewer than the pains of not having it. As for the things money can’t buy, one simply doesn’t use money to acquire them.

"We can afford it, no worries. Your husband will definitely work even harder in the future. Trust me."

"Mm, I will, too."

"Establishing a family is a man’s task, not a woman’s. After marriage, a woman mainly needs to remain beautiful. But my wife is naturally pretty; with just a touch of makeup, she outshines everyone."

"Doctor Lu, you’re speaking so nicely tonight. Should I take your word for it?" Tang Su teased with a playful smile.

"It’s the truth, absolutely credible," Lu Han replied as he pulled out the car keys.

Tang Su, holding Little Douding, got out from the passenger side. The two met at the front of the car, and Lu Han naturally took Little Douding from her arms, as tenderly as if receiving their own child.

Walking beside Lu Han, Tang Su chattered away like a little sparrow, discussing the evening’s events. No matter what she said, Lu Han always responded.

After entering the elevator and reaching the top floor, Tang Su remembered that Lu Han’s home was now occupied by Ouyang Jingjing. She and Jingjing were on the same route home.

Jingjing had attended the gathering that evening, yet it was only after arriving home that Tang Su remembered her.
