Chapter 3: Slender Waist

The next day, Liang Xu drove Jiang Jiu to the wedding venue.

Jiang Siyan was also a groomsman today, donning a black suit and sitting among the crowd. His excessively long legs and that outrageously handsome face made him particularly conspicuous.

Feng Hao joked, "Ah Yan, my wife told me that her bridesmaids are all fair-skinned and beautiful, and importantly, all single. When you meet them, remember to get their contact information."

Liang Xu, with his arm around Jiang Jiu, sat down and laughed, "Are you still worried about Ah Yan finding someone? When we were drinking in Jincheng, didn't Ah Yan always attract a bunch of women every time we went out?"

Jincheng?

Had Jiang Siyan been living there before?

Jiang Jiu had often heard Liang Xu talk about going to Jincheng on business trips; perhaps the two of them had met during that time.

Playing with a coin in his hand, Jiang Siyan replied languidly, "I don't like it when they're too forward."

Liang Xu and Feng Hao teased him for a while, but in the end, it was Feng Hao who, patting his chest, promised to find him a suitable match!

Just then, a woman in a sharp business suit with shoulder-length hair walked towards them, her look the epitome of efficiency, "Congratulations on your wedding, and happy marriage."

"Thanks, thank you. I'm truly honored that our Ms. Liu Fei could take time out of her busy schedule to come!"

Liu Fei was clearly an easygoing woman. She clapped Feng Hao on the shoulder, "You dare tease me, young man. Wait till later; we need to drink up."

Approaching Liang Xu, she said, "Long time no see, Liang Xu."

Liang Xu extended his hand to grasp Liu Fei's, his smile warm and friendly, "It's been a long time."

Jiang Jiu couldn't tell if it was her imagination, but it seemed that their handshake lasted a bit too long.

Jiang Jiu took a sip of water, wondering if she was making a mountain out of a molehill.

However, Liu Fei said a few words and left. When the time came to fetch the bride, Liang Xu and Jiang Siyan both left, leaving Jiang Jiu feeling a bit bored, so she went to the restroom to touch up her makeup.

No sooner had she entered than someone wrapped their arms around her waist and pinned her to the side.

Jiang Jiu was startled and turned around to find Jiang Siyan had appeared behind her at some point.

The man's arms were strong and powerful as they lay across her waist, his long fingers perfectly pinching her slender waist.

"You..."

"Didn't you want to confirm it for yourself?"

His words made Jiang Jiu shiver involuntarily as that uneasy thought began to surface again.

"Jiang Siyan, stop talking nonsense."

As soon as she said it, even Jiang Jiu knew she lacked conviction.

Jiang Siyan's mouth curved into a cold smirk, "They're in a room upstairs."

Since the bride's family was a bit far, the fetching of the bride was arranged in the hotel, and some of the guests who had traveled from afar were also staying in this hotel.

Jiang Siyan told her a room number while still holding Jiang Jiu in his arms, unwilling to let go, "I've helped you so much, how will you thank me?"

Suddenly feeling a heat on her neck, his kiss landed, the burning sensation seeming to penetrate her skin.

Jiang Jiu swallowed, shuddering slightly, "I said I wanted to confirm it myself."

Jiang Siyan laughed as if showing some pity for her stubbornness, "I'll wait for you."

After he left, Jiang Jiu let out a deep breath and walked to the elevator. When the doors opened, Liang Xu just happened to come out.

He was startled to see Jiang Jiu but quickly smiled, "Are you here looking for me?"

Liang Xu carried a faint scent of perfume which closely resembled that of Liu Fei. His shirt collar was also one button undone. Jiang Jiu's eyes flooded with tumultuous anger and despair, "I wanted to see if you had fetched the bride yet."

Liang Xu grabbed her slender waist, "Don't worry, thanks to Jiang Si, the bridesmaids were all revolving around him. Taking advantage of the situation, the other groomsmen and I helped Feng Hao fetch the bride."

Jiang Jiu sneered, "Sounds like you had a good time?"

Liang Xu went on, oblivious, "Of course, you have no idea how lively it was just now!"

Jiang Jiu broke free from his embrace. Liang Xu looked surprised for a moment; then she stepped forward and straightened his collar, "Look at you, playing so wildly that your collar got wrinkled."

That was when Liang Xu smiled and said, "Ah, I didn't notice, they were too rowdy."
