Chapter 57: Inviting Friends to a Banquet
“I saw it on TV. When someone gets married, others will congratulate them. Isn’t that right?”
Song Yujin looked up at his sister.
Song Ci patted his head.
“Yes, you’re right.”
She had a strange sensation in her heart. In the real world, she had never even been in a relationship. Meanwhile, she would be getting married after spending just a few short days here. This feeling was really complicated. Anyway, she watched as Song Yujin entered the school gates. Then, she returned to Lu Gan’s villa.

Lu Gan was already prepared and was merely waiting for her.
Song Ci suddenly felt a little nervous. She stammered, “I’ll go upstairs and get changed.”
Lu Gan nodded.
“Okay.”
Song Ci looked at the clothes in her wardrobe. She did not know which one to wear and was very conflicted. Today was the day of the marriage registration. For such a festive occasion, she should wear a bright color, right? She should not wear black even though that was the color she liked. It would be unsuitable. White was too plain and red was too bright. Would yellow be too delicate? Orange did not match Lu Gan’s outfit and purple seemed too strange. After looking through her clothes for a long time, Song Ci still could not decide what to wear! It was rare for her to be so hesitant.
When Lu Gan came in, he saw Song Ci standing in front of the wardrobe with a distressed face. All kinds of outfits were scattered over the bed and she was only wearing a low-cut tank top. Her fair skin was a little dazzling under the sun.
Lu Gan coughed awkwardly and turned to look elsewhere.
His cough startled Song Ci. She asked in a surprised tone, “Why are you here?”
“It’s been half an hour. I thought you had run away from the wedding.”
Lu Gan teased.
Song Ci’s nervousness was instantly dispelled by his words.
“Do you want me to run away from the wedding? Not happening!”
After saying that, she turned around and continued her clothes. Suddenly, Song Ci noticed that she was only wearing a low-cut tank top! It was basically a bra!
Song Ci hurriedly grabbed a red skirt and put it on. She was no longer conflicted. Then, she turned her head and glared at Lu Gan. Their eyes met and she said in disbelief, “How could you just look at me so brazenly? Y-y-you!”
Lu Gan really did not look at her much, let alone brazenly. Despite that, Song Ci still acted like a frightened kitten. She bared her fangs and brandished her claws at him. Lu Gan’s heart itched.
“It would be a waste not to look.”
After saying that, his gaze moved from her face to her chin, then neck, and collarbone.
Song Ci could not believe it. At this moment, she was embarrassed and angry. She grabbed a piece of clothing and threw it at him.
Lu Gan shoved the clothing away and pushed his wheelchair closer to her. Song Ci’s face was red.
“Are you shy?”
Lu Gan purposely asked.
“You’ve always wanted to get close to me, right? I’ve only taken a glance at you. Why are you acting like this?”
Song Ci was furious but all she could do was puff up her face and stay silent. She did not know how to express her feelings. Besides, they had not reached that stage yet.

Lu Gan followed her gaze and said righteously, “We’re about to get married. There’s nothing to hide”
Upon hearing this, Song Ci turned around and glared at him.
“Then why don’t you let me take a look first, Mr. Lu?!”
Her fiery gaze swept across Lu Gan’s chest, then waist, and abdomen.
Lu Gan could not help but laugh.
“You’re really impatient. Stop looking at me. You almost drooled.”
Song Ci retorted, “You’re the one who is impatient. You peeked at me while I’m changing.”
Lu Gan laughed again.
Song Ci did not feel conflicted anymore.
After tidying up, the two of them went to collect their marriage certificate. Since they had already taken the photo before, the process went much faster.
Song Ci looked at the red marriage certificate in her hand. The corners of her mouth subconsciously curl up. She put it away carefully. In the real world, people would treat their closest friends to a meal after receiving their marriage certificates. It was a way to share their joy. So, she asked Lu Gan, “Since we’re married, are we going to have a meal with your friends?”
Lu Gan had not thought about this. Originally, he was just getting married to stop those who were pestering him. He wanted to create an image of despair and self-abandonment after he became disabled. Therefore, choosing a person who did not match his family background would look more convincing. However, this thought disappeared after he got to know Song Ci. He looked at the anticipation in Song Ci’s eyes and nodded, “We should. Why don’t you call your friends too?”
