Blossoming Flowers - Chapter 265
Zhou Yan knew that he had to speak with Jiang Yingyue, but looking at the guarded expression on Han Qingshan’s face, he was not sure how to go about doing it.
Sighing deeply, he could only glance at Lin Qiang by his side, but Lin Qiang was completely ignoring him for the moment, pretending that he did not see the glances.
Sighing, Zhou Yan could only wait for Jiang Yingyue and Han Qingshan to reach them and give them a toast.
When they did, Han Qingshan was quite polite, but he was also trying to understand what made Zhou Yan so different from usual. The coldness of his personality had changed entirely; in fact, he looked troubled by something.
Jiang Yingyue also saw the change in Zhou Yan’s behavior and appearance, and she was quite stumped. She even saw some pleading in his eyes and understood that he had something to talk with her about.
Later, after the ceremony had lasted a couple of hours, and everyone was casually walking around, Jiang Yingyue saw that Lin Qiang had left the table, and Zhou Yan was seated all alone.
She hurried to his side, sat down, looked into his eyes, and with deep interest she could not help but ask, “what’s wrong?”
Zhou Yan looked around rather sheepishly, but after ensuring that no one was around and no one was listening in on their conversation, he could only shuffle forward and whisper into her ear.
“I think I might have a serious problem.”
“What problem?”
“Lin Qiang confessed to me.”
“What?!”
“Shh!”
“Are you serious?”
“Yeah, he confessed to me, and since then, he has been overly loving. I really don’t know how to deal with it. The more he is like this, the less I can control myself. I keep thinking about him, and I feel more and more silly.
“He is pretending to be coincidental, but he continues to do strange things; I really don’t think I can continue to be straight like this!”
“When did he confess to you?” Jiang Yingyue looked at Zhou Yan with shock in her eyes, but there was also some laughter.
Zhou Yan’s mood slumped, and he looked down. “It has been a year now. At first, I did not take it seriously, but he has really done his utmost to change my sexuality, and now I feel like a young teenage girl in love. It is immensely embarrassing!”
Jiang Yingyue looked at her friend before she began laughing out loud. It was so overwhelming that she could not hold back at all, her laughter so loud that it attracted many people’s attention.
But seeing that she was seated with her friend, no one came to disturb them.
“Be quiet, do you think this is fun?” Zhou Yan glanced at her, his face was red, and he was not sure why he had even considered talking with her about it. Maybe it was because she had grown up with the two of them, but she was still as shocked as he was when he first heard it.
“Why not just accept him?” Jiang Yingyue asked, her face showing a smile.
“I want you to find happiness, and from what I can see, the two of you are a suitable pair.”
Zhou Yan thought a bit about her words, but then he shook his head and sighed. “I don’t know,” he said after thinking. “How am I even supposed to accept him?”
“Why not tell me that we will share the hotel room tonight?” a male voice suddenly came from behind, and both Jiang Yingyue and Zhou Yan turned around, seeing that Lin Qiang was standing behind them, a smile playing on his handsome face as he looked at Zhou Yan.
Jiang Yingyue raised her hands in defeat. “This is not my area of expertise, but I truly wish the both of you the best,” she said as she rose from the seat, and glanced at Zhou Yan, who had a face redder than the crimson sky.
Snickering, she returned to Han Qingshan’s side, sometimes glancing at Zhou Yan and Lin Qiang, wondering what their decision ended as.
“Why are you looking at him?” Han Qingshan asked with a glum expression on his face. He did not like Jiang Yingyue looking at another man on their wedding day.
“Listen to this,” Jiang Yingyue said as she leaned forward and told Han Qingshan what she had just heard. She ensured that no one else heard, and she knew that Han Qingshan would never tell another soul, but the more he heard, the more peculiar his face became.
Lin Qiang had announced his love to Zhou Yan? And Zhou Yan was slowly succumbing to the assistant’s attempts at wooing him. That was a shocking piece of information that made Han Qingshan’s mind short circuit for a moment before he suddenly started laughing out loud.
He had expected many endings for Zhou Yan. Would he become a playboy now that he could not have Jiang Yingyue? Would he become a bachelor for the rest of his life? No, he was becoming a gay couple with his assistant!
Thinking about this, Han Qingshan could only wish Zhou Yan the greatest happiness, but he was highly amused by what he had been told.
As time went by, it soon turned to the late evening, and almost every guest had left. Han Qingshan and Jiang Yingyue waited until everyone was gone, and in the end, only them and their parents remained inside the castle.
Ensuring that all had left, they also split up, Han Liqiang and Yan Meilin had a car prepared and gave Jiang Wei and Xun Huiyin a lift to their hotel, while Jiang Yingyue and Han Qingshan took their own car back to the condo.
Jiang Yingyue wished for them to stay at home on their wedding night.
