Chapter 912: Chapter 912 Silent Tenderness

In the hall, Hong Shuangying laughed heartily as she dragged Wang Yingying to get into a good position. Yingying protested with laughter and smack at Shuangying, squeezing her way to the front. Che Qin and Bai Xiaocan, among others, stood smilingly in the middle, while only Yin Zhen was excessively calm, standing on the fringe until her friends laughingly pushed her over.

The sudden liveliness had one simple cause: everyone wanted to catch the bouquet the bride was holding.

With her back turned, Lin Gantang lifted the bouquet to her chest and recalled Jiang Tongtong’s beaming words when she delivered the bouquet before the wedding:

“Dad didn’t let you pick flowers from the garden because he wanted to use the roses he planted himself for your wedding bouquet.”

The pink roses in her hand were delicate and beautiful.

It was secretly prepared by the man who claimed he wouldn’t bear to see her get married, a bouquet symbolizing bliss and perfection.

Lin Gantang lowered her head and gently kissed the petals.

This was her father’s unspoken tenderness.

She lifted the bouquet with both hands and cast it backward with a radiant smile, causing a clamor of excitement from the crowd below.

If Gantang hadn’t been turned away, Yin Zhen would have suspected she did it on purpose.

It was said that whoever caught the bouquet would be the next to marry. The thought of being bound by marriage made Yin Zhen’s skin crawl. When she saw the bouquet coming straight at her, she instinctively stepped aside, allowing it to fall directly into Che Qin’s arms, who was right behind her.

Che Qin was stunned at first but then let out a gasp of surprise, followed by happy laughter: “I caught it!”

As the wedding drew to a close and Le Yu, who had witnessed Che Qin catch the bouquet, sneakily came over, aiming to hold his girlfriend’s hand. Che Qin withdrew her hand and looked around, afraid of being seen.

Le Yu, with a look of grievance, said, “Am I such an embarrassment?”

“No, no.” Che Qin reassured him, “You want to go public at an event like this?”

“What’s the big deal?” Le Yu was nonchalant: “Sooner or later everyone will know; we’re both single and nothing to hide.”

Che Qin held the bouquet, her excitement still flushed on her cheeks.

Le Yu wasn’t great with descriptions but found his girlfriend’s rosy cheeks incredibly beautiful at that moment. He too looked at the bouquet and shook his head proudly: “Look, you’ve caught the bouquet. We’re bound to get married sooner or later. I think rather than choosing a date, let’s just bump into one and go public.”

He, Le Yu of the esteemed Le family, was sneaking around in a relationship, which was quite ridiculous.

But he genuinely liked Che Qin; otherwise, he wouldn’t care so much about her opinion.

If it had been any other woman, he might have wondered if he was being played or kept as a backup. But Che Qin’s affection for him was genuine, the love she unintentionally showed in everyday life was real, as was her attitude of saving half her salary for a marriage fund.

So he had no doubts about her feelings for him.

After hearing his words, Che Qin looked up into his expectant eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then laid out all her concerns that she had kept hidden in her heart.

“It’s not that I don’t want to go public,” she said with a trace of worry in her brows: “My dad, due to his gambling, squandered away our fortune, and I still can’t be sure if he’s really quit gambling. Since you are part of the Le family, I’m afraid that if he finds out about us, he’ll harass your family for money, causing you and your family trouble.”

“This…” Le Yu hadn’t considered this aspect: “Aren’t you worried? Your dad has been keeping to himself lately; he must realize his mistakes, right?”

Che Qin shook her head: “Who can guarantee that? I’m really afraid he’ll ruin my happiness. Also…”

Her gaze dimmed quietly: “My family is a mess. Will you truly marry someone like me with no background?”

Le Yu was puzzled. What was going on? How did the conversation end up with her lacking self-confidence?

He affirmed confidently: “Of course, I will. As long as you don’t look down on me.”
