Chapter 268: Chapter 198 Wedding (Part 1)_3

The first time Xiaoqiong came to the Zhou family, she had never seen such a spectacle and accidentally got a leg cramp! As everyone hurriedly walked outside, no one noticed her, unable to move, Xiaoqiong anxiously sweated bullets—scared of embarrassing Chuxia, she dared not yell out.

As a result, the more anxious she got, the worse the cramps became...

Then, when they went out and got into the car, Chuxia finally noticed the bridesmaid was missing...

Even after the car had been driving for over ten minutes, Xiaoqiong’s face was still red as a boiled shrimp, she had never been so humiliated! It was bad enough to embarrass herself, but she had even managed to embarrass Chuxia! She hated herself now!

"Being nervous is normal, didn’t you notice I was nervous too? When you handed me the tea, my hands were shaking."

"..."

"Don’t be like that, cheer up, it’s my wedding day after all."

"..."

"Xiaoqiong, you don’t have to be like this, are you protesting my marriage?"

"..."

No matter how Chuxia tried to persuade her, Xiaoqiong remained silent.

Sitting in the co-driver’s seat, Zhou Huakang turned around and smiled at her, "In ninth grade, I participated in a provincial speech competition. I prepped for that competition for over a month, thinking I’d perform the best once on stage.

But once I stood on the stage, I completely forgot how to start. The more I tried to recall, the less I could remember.

Logically, I should have just started with anything and carried on, but at the moment it felt like I couldn’t proceed unless it was with the original opening.

I stood there on stage dumbfounded for five minutes, then was booed off. Sitting in the audience were students from six key schools in the city and leaders from the provincial and city schools.

At that moment, the thought of dying immediately, never having to face anything again, felt like the happiest solution, but obviously, I didn’t have the courage to die.

When I got home, I buried myself under the covers and didn’t leave the house for three days, thinking I’d never set foot in school again. Guess how I ended up getting back to school?"

Xiaoqiong had been captivated by his story and asked reflexively, "How did you get back to school?"

"Third Brother dragged me by the collar back to school, calling me a coward..." Zhou Huakang sheepishly smiled, "When I got back to school, I realized things weren’t as bad as I imagined. Though a few people might have laughed at me, most regarded the incident with understanding and tolerance."

"Thank you!" Xiaoqiong, fully understanding his intention, earnestly thanked him.

Zhou Huakang just waved his hand with a smile, "Thank what, this is also for my own good. If you can’t get over this, we both end up embarrassed."

Mikang rarely praised someone, "Kid, you’ve really grown up."

"Third Brother..." Zhou Huakang looked helplessly at Mikang, "I’m several years older than third sister-in-law."

"You’re still a kid."

Zhou Huakang: "..."

With this little interjection, Xiaoqiong completely let go of her embarrassment, looking apologetically at Chuxia, "Sorry, you were worried, weren’t you?"

Chuxia sneered, "Who was worried about you? I was afraid you’d keep embarrassing me."

Xiaoqiong: "..."

Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe, along with others, had already arrived at the Radiance Hotel under Zhou Hanliang’s guidance. They were excitedly standing up the moment they saw the group including their daughter and son-in-law walking in.

Among these dozen or so tables, they knew only about three to five people, and not very well, so they felt uneasy not seeing their daughter and son-in-law.

Similarly, Chuxia and Xiaoqiong felt a sudden sense of relief upon seeing those familiar figures.

Surrounded by people, the bride and groom were welcomed to the main table, while the groomsmen and bridesmaids went to the tables designated for the younger members of the Zhou family.

Watching the radiant bride, Zhu Xinqin sitting beside the main table envied her, spitefully poking her son, but upon seeing her son’s undisguised disappointment, she regretted her action and quietly squeezed his hand comfortingly.

Jing Zhe turned his gaze towards her, gently shaking his head.
