Love So Sweet

50 Twenty Years Later

Twenty years later.

“Huan Huan, congratulations on your wedding!” Zhang Li Xue spoke as she looked at the beautiful bride in front of her. “Oh? Should I start to address you as Mrs. He now?”

“Li Xue.” Mo Qing Huan shot her friend a warning gaze before she glanced at her husband. Her cheek turned red when she saw the way her husband, He Rong, was looking at her.

Zhang Li Xue and her roommates began to giggle.

The three of them had watched as their roommate, Mo Qing Huan began to date her childhood sweetheart, He Rong, from the beginning.

Seeing that they were now a husband and wife made them feel a little sweet.

Although the two of them were childhood sweethearts, it was still not easy for them to get together. Moreover, they all had heard how He Rong had waited for years for Mo Qing Huan before he can pursue her.

It was not easy to meet someone as loyal as He Rong.

.....

Mo Qing Huan deserved to be happy and as her roommates, they hoped that the couple will stay happily ever after.

“That’s right, Li Xue, where are your parents? Did they come? I haven’t seen them around.” Mo Qing Huan swiftly shifted the topic so that her roommates would stop teasing her.

“They should be in the banquet hall with your uncle,” Zhang Li Xue said. “Huan Huan, you are like my sister. Today is your wedding. Of course, they will come over to see you. You can see them later in the banquet hall.”

Mo Qing Huan heaved a sigh. “I still have to thank them for looking after me.” She looked at her husband and smiled.

“That’s right. We have to thank them,” He Rong agreed. He held Mo Qing Huan’s hand tightly and leaned over. “Let’s thank them together when we see them in the hall later.”

He had heard from his wife that the Zhang couple had sponsored a lot of things for their wedding. It would be rude if they did not go over and thanked the couple personally.

“Alright.” Mo Qing Huan nodded.

At this time, the wedding planner knocked on the door and entered. She looked at the groom and bride with a smile on her face. “Mr. He, Mrs. He, it’s almost time for you to come out and meet your guests. You have five minutes.”

The married couple nodded.

“Alright. It’s time for me and Zhuang Li to leave now,” Mao Xin Yi, one of the roommates and bridesmaid, spoke.

“Alright, go ahead. I will meet you outside,” Mo Qing Huan said. “That’s right. I almost forgot. I will toss the bouquet later and you girls have to join in the fun.” Her lips curled into a smile. “Who knows, the next person who will marry might be one of you girls.”

Mao Xin Yi and Zhuang Li both began to discuss this flower toss. Each of them wanted to catch the bride’s bouquet and get her luck. Perhaps, they too would meet their other half afterward and get married.

Zhang Li Xue watched as the girls discussed the bride’s bouquet with a smile on her face. A while later, she noticed that her friends were looking at her strangely.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Zhang Li Xue subconsciously took a step back.

Mao Xin Yi and Zhuang Li exchanged a look. “We were thinking that it might be you who will get lucky,” Zhuang Li said.

Zhang Li Xue laughed and waved her hand dismissively. “It would be hard for me to get married next. You know that it’s not easy to date me.”

“We know.” Mao Xin Yi heaved a heavy sigh. “That man should be taller than you and defeat your father in a basketball game before he can date you.”

Zhang Li Xue nodded happily. “That’s right.”

“You have such a high expectation,” Zhuang Li said.

“It’s better to have a high expectation than just settle with anyone,” Zhang Li Xue said.

Mao Xin Yi and Zhuang Li exchanged another look and sighed again. Their friend, Zhang Li Xue came from a reputable family in Y City. It was not strange if she had a high standard towards her other half.

He Rong listened to the girl’s words and frowned. He turned to his wife and asked, “Isn’t it just defeating Uncle Zhang in a basketball game? It couldn’t be that hard, could it?”

Mo Qing Huan laughed. “In our university, even the best male player on the campus could not defeat Li Xue. Li Xue learned her basketball skill from her father. Do you think that it would be easy to defeat Uncle Zhang?”

He Rong looked at the girl in awe. Although he had seen Zhang Li Xue practicing basketball before, he had never thought that the girl would be that good.

The friends chatted a little bit and left.

Soon, it was time for the bride and groom to come out and meet their guests.

As Mo Qing Huan’s maid of honor, Zhang Li Xue continued to stay with her friend and help with whatever was necessary.

The meal began and their friends and family gave a few speeches to the newlyweds. The atmosphere in the hall was especially lively.

Soon, it was time for the bride to toss her bouquet.

The woman gathered at the center as they waited. Each of them dreamed of catching the bouquet and hope that it would be time for them to end their single life soon.

Zhang Li Xue was not planning to join in the fun. However, both Mao Xin Yi and Zhuang Li tugged at her hands, forcing her to join in the fun.

In the end, Zhang Li Xue stood at the back while watching the fun. She had no expectations about this bouquet like the others.

The host told the women to get ready to catch the bouquet.

The countdown started and Mo Qing Huan began to toss her bouquet.

The women were excited and started to scream as they set their eyes on the bouquet.

Each of them had expected that the bouquet would reach them. However, the bouquet continued to travel farther and farther.

Zhang Li Xue watched the bouquet of roses approach her with her eyes wide. She was not prepared to catch the bouquet but that thing was heading toward her. She began to panic and moved to catch it before it went further and drop to the floor without anyone catching it.

Perhaps, her basketball practice had helped her to catch this bouquet. Zhang Li Xue jumped a little bit and caught the bouquet.

However, she seemed to have forgotten that she was wearing a pair of high heels.

A string of cursing words escaped her lips as she landed. Just as she thought that she would fall on the floor and sprain her ankle, someone had caught her and prevented her fall.

Her eyes widened in surprise upon realizing that a man had caught her.
