CHAPTER 157: CHAPTER 156: BEST MAN AND MAID OF HONOR

"Huo Jiantian...!" Huo Junmo finally couldn’t hold back his roar.

Although Huo Jiantian was usually mischievous, he was afraid when Huo Junmo really got angry!

So, feeling Huo Junmo’s rage, he couldn’t help but shrink his neck, hiding his small frame behind Ye Anxin.

Ye Anxin turned around, gently patting Huo Jiantian’s head, and said softly, "Tiantian, actually Yueyue is really nice, don’t speak about her like that!"

Huo Jiantian pouted and grumbled, "You don’t know her, how do you know she’s nice?"

Ye Anxin’s lips twitched slightly, and she replied with a bit of exasperation, "Uh...! I... she is my best friend, we grew up together! Of course, I know she’s nice! She won’t mistreat you!"

Hearing this, Huo Jiantian suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief, "You... you guys...? She... she’s your best friend?"

Ye Anxin nodded and smiled, "Yes! Otherwise, why would I be here?"

Huo Jiantian raised his little head, looking at Ye Anxin with teary eyes.

Yeah! How could he be so dumb! At this time, sister Anxin should be at school, right? How could she suddenly appear here?

When he saw her outside the glass door just now, he didn’t think of anything, he just rushed over, wanting to talk to someone about his grievances!

Now that he thought about it, in the bridal shop earlier, the two of them seemed to be standing face to face!

Could it be...

They really are best friends?

Thinking of this, Ye Anxin’s mouth dropped open, and he burst into tears with a "wah".

Ye Anxin was startled, quickly squatting down to ask with concern, "Tiantian, what’s wrong? Why are you crying again?"

Huo Jiantian was rubbing his eyes fiercely as he sobbed, "Boohoo... not only did my dad get snatched away by this wicked stepmom, but sister Anxin got stolen too! Boohoo... I hate her, I hate her...!"

Although Ling Yueyue appeared tough on the outside, she was softer on the inside than anyone else!

Moreover, looking at such a beautiful little boy crying so sadly in front of her, she couldn’t help but feel bad.

"Hey, Huo Jiantian, not all stepmoms are wicked! I swear, from now on, I’ll be good to you, I won’t hit you, or scold you, isn’t that enough?"

At these words, Huo Jiantian not only did not stop crying, but cried even harder, "I don’t believe it, I like sister Anxin, I want sister Anxin to be my stepmom!"

Ling Yueyue laughed twice and deliberately said, "Haha... too bad, you’re a step too late! Your sister Anxin will never have a chance to be your stepmom in this lifetime!"

"As long as you don’t marry my dad, sister Anxin can marry my dad! You guys are best friends, how can you compete with sister Anxin for my dad! You’re too bad! You’re just a hypocritical friend!" As he spoke, he didn’t forget to hold Ye Anxin’s hand and seriously advised, "Sister Anxin, look, she knows you’re meant to be with my dad, yet she still wants to marry him! She’s a bad person, don’t take her as your friend anymore, quickly snatch my dad back!"

Ye Anxin’s lips twitched, sighing inwardly, just about to speak when she heard a familiar, carefree voice suddenly chiming in, "Oh! It’s really lively here! Seems like I’ve missed some exciting stuff, huh? If I knew, I should’ve come earlier! Ah, what a pity!"

"Uncle Yan!" Hearing this voice, Huo Jiantian’s face lit up with joy, he quickly ran over to hug Yan Qinghan.

It turned out that, amidst their cheerful chaos just now, Yan Qinghan had slipped in at some point.

And with him was Mu Beiting.

Seeing Mu Beiting, Ye Anxin quickly ran over with a bright smile, affectionately looping her arm through his, "Uncle, why are you here?"

Yan Qinghan bent down to pick up the heartbroken Huo Jiantian, smiling as he said, "Of course I brought him! I’m Junmo’s best man this time, came today to try on the suit! Knowing little sis-in-law is the bridesmaid, I especially dragged your uncle here to give you some fashion advice!"

Mu Beiting frowned, unhappily asking Ye Anxin, "You’re going to be a bridesmaid?"

Ye Anxin nodded, honestly replying, "Yes... yes! I’m Yueyue’s best friend! So, she asked me to be her bridesmaid!"

Mu Beiting’s brows furrowed even tighter, "Why didn’t you tell me?"

"...! Yesterday, you came back too late, so... so I forgot to say!" Ye Anxin lowered her head, feeling quite wronged.

Clearly, yesterday he came back and dragged her off for a joint bath, leaving her too exhausted to stay awake! When would she have had the chance to tell him!

Now it seemed like she was deliberately keeping it from him, she really felt so unjustly accused.

Mu Beiting straightforwardly and decisively said, "I won’t allow it!"

Ye Anxin tugged on Mu Beiting’s arm, speaking softly, "Uncle, Yueyue and I grew up together, we’re best friends and each other’s only friends! She’s getting married, it’s a big life event, please let me be her bridesmaid! Uncle, I’m begging you, okay?"

Mu Beiting’s stance was still firm, "No way! You’re married!"

Ling Yueyue leapt out, hands on hips, defiantly saying, "Hey, even though Anxin and you have registered, haven’t you guys not held a wedding? What’s more, in Jin City, aside from yourselves, who else knows you’re married! Besides, even if you’re married, I don’t mind! As long as I’m getting married, Anxin is the only choice for my bridesmaid! In the future when she gets married, I’ll be her only bridesmaid choice too! Mu Beiting, if you really love Ye Anxin, you should agree with her, respect her!"

Mu Beiting’s face hardened, the temperature in his eyes dropping to freezing.

Sensing Mu Beiting’s change, Ling Yueyue couldn’t help but shiver, a chill creeping from her feet to her entire body.

Everyone present sensed Mu Beiting’s anger, except for Huo Jiantian, who blinked his teary eyes and very innocently asked, "Sister Anxin, why does this wicked stepmom say you’re married? Who did you marry? Is it Uncle Mu?"

"...!" Ye Anxin paused, stiffly nodding her head.

Upon hearing this, Huo Jiantian couldn’t care about crying, his emotions stirring, "No, I don’t want you to marry Uncle Mu, I want you to marry my dad, I want you to be my mom! I don’t want her as my stepmom, I don’t want it!"

Huo Junmo slapped the back of his head, warning him, "Huo Jiantian, shut up! Or I’ll skin you alive!"

Huo Jiantian pouted, looking at Huo Junmo with a wronged face, appearing even more pitiful than a little white rabbit.

As if he wasn’t pathetic enough, Ling Yueyue crossed her arms, gloating, "Little thing, let me tell you, this matter is already settled, it can’t be changed! You better give up this idea!"
