Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

He Xiaoyue was overjoyed to be assigned the task of finding partners for the single police officers in Zhao Yun's department. After all, they were all male police officers, and if she just let the word out, they would come running!
Of course, she also secretly decided that she must carefully investigate and try to find some girls with good conditions in all aspects. In short, she definitely couldn't accept girls who worked in nightclubs.

It would be too embarrassing if I ended up not getting a partner but instead giving credit to the police.

Soon, everyone had almost finished eating. Even a banquet at such a high-end restaurant only lasts about half an hour, unlike a large feast in the countryside that lasts until the evening.

Some guests had already said goodbye to the hosts and left. After all, there were so many people in the banquet hall, it was packed. You couldn't expect the newlyweds to come over and toast every table.
Even if the newlyweds are willing to offer toasts, many people leave before they arrive, especially the guests who are later in the group.

Of course, the guests at the first two rows of tables remained as still as a rock, and not a single one left.

Lin Mo and his group were located near the middle of the river. They hadn't planned to wait, thinking they would say goodbye to Miss Yuan's parents and then leave. After all, it was their big day, and they were too busy to bother with anything else.

Just then, Yuan Hua walked over with his bride, who had somehow changed into a toasting dress, holding a wine glass.

"Haha, everyone, we apologize for the poor hospitality. Thank you all for coming. Oh, Xiaoyue, our matchmaker, come, let's toast you." Yuan Hua came over, looked around, and laughed.

When his gaze swept over Liu Ruyan, he was very calm. Liu Ruyan also smiled as she looked at the newlyweds. However, when he looked at him, Lin Mo clearly felt that he paused for a moment, and there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes, but fortunately there was no hostility.

Although Young Master Yuan is a rich second-generation, and his abilities are only average compared to Liu Ruyan's, and he even used to be a not-so-pure sycophant for a few years, he is by no means stupid.

Just kidding. Putting aside genetic issues, with the family upbringing, atmosphere, and educational resources of the Yuan family, unless someone has a congenital intellectual disability, they are destined to be anything but an idiot.

If he hadn't succeeded in his blind date last year, he would have had some opinions about Lin Mo, and might even have been hostile towards him, finding fault with everything he did.

But now that he's married, thinking about the past is just making himself unhappy.

Given his circumstances, if he truly didn't want to get married, he could simply choose not to. There was no forced marriage by his family. In short, today's outcome was his own choice.

That's why he only felt a little sighed and helpless.

At the table, Yuan Meng and Zhao Yun were his family. He subconsciously avoided Liu Ruyan, since his wife was right next to him. As for Lin Mo, he wasn't familiar with him and even felt a little awkward with him, so he could only focus his attention on Chuan Mei and the others.

Among them, He Xiaoyue, an early adopter of the stock, naturally became the breakthrough point.

"Thank you, Xiaoyue. If it weren't for you, we might not have gotten together back then," Feng Xue, dressed in a red toasting dress, personally poured juice for He Xiaoyue and then raised her glass.

"Of course, I wish you a long and happy marriage and many children," He Xiaoyue quickly said, somewhat embarrassed.

Upon hearing this, the three of them drank it all in one gulp. When Feng Xue heard the words "may you have a son soon," she subconsciously placed her hand on her lower abdomen. Seeing this, Lin Mo and Liu Ruyan exchanged a glance, both seeing the knowing look in each other's eyes.

Although Lin Mo didn't actually take her pulse, based on his subconscious movements and the bride Feng Xue's slightly protruding belly, he knew that the bride was most likely pregnant.

In other words, getting engaged and married is faster. Otherwise, in another month or so, the bride might already be showing, and it wouldn't look good to get married with a pregnant belly.

After finishing their drinks, Yuan Hua and his wife started pouring drinks for the others. Since Director Wang was driving, Lin Mo was also given a beer.

"Miss, let me fill your glass," Yuan Hua said as he poured wine for Zhao Yun.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun smiled and said, "Oh, not bad! You know how to call me 'Miss' in such a formal setting today. Keep it up!"

Zhao Yun is older than Yuan Hua, but they are only a few months apart. They used to call each other by their names, since Zhao Yun was used to being domineering and had beaten Yuan Hua quite a bit when they were young.

Hearing this, Yuan Hua scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Sister-in-law, I can do it myself, hehe," Miss Yuan said with a smile as she filled her juice bottle.

Feng Xue was quite familiar with her sister-in-law. Firstly, she had heard her husband complain about her quite a bit, and secondly, she had seen her quite often during the Chinese New Year period. She was quirky and clever. Of course, she had also heard of her reputation before, the "Queen of Shit-throwing in Sanlitun." Even though she didn't live there, she had heard of her. She just didn't expect that she would actually be such a sweet girl.

Don't ask why she's called a sweet girl, because Miss Yuan has a round face, and a very standard sweet girl's round face.

As long as she doesn't go crazy, and no one knows about her past behavior, and preferably pretends to be mute, no one would think she's a devil.

Seeing this, Feng Xue could only smile. Then she looked at Liu Ruyan and took a deep breath. There was no way around it; just the fact that this woman was sitting there made her feel a sense of pressure.

The two had been dating for so long and were now married. Whether Yuan Hua confessed it himself or she inquired about it herself, she naturally knew about Liu Ruyan, who had captivated her husband for many years. Fortunately, she had found someone else, otherwise she and Yuan Hua wouldn't have ended up together, a fact she was well aware of.

Then she glanced at Lin Mo again, which was indeed quite good-looking. She had heard that he was still a student. She wondered what Liu Ruyan had seen in him, but in any case, he had helped her.

While thinking about these things, Feng Xue didn't stop what she was doing. Instead, she poured Liu Ruyan some juice: "Miss Liu, it's nice to meet you. My husband has mentioned you to me before. You are really beautiful. Thank you for coming to our wedding!"

Upon hearing this, everyone glanced over without making a sound. Lin Mo clearly noticed that Yuan Hua paused, and the atmosphere at the table became somewhat strange.

Liu Ruyan, however, didn't seem to mind at all. She lightly touched the glass with her finger and smiled, "Thank you. You're very beautiful too. I wish you and your husband a long and loving marriage!"

Feng Xue's words seemed normal, but when you consider Liu Ruyan and Yuan Hua's past, they were undoubtedly a soft snag.

She even mentioned that Yuan Hua had mentioned her before. Although it wasn't exactly hostile or meant to express any opinion, it was a subtle way of telling Liu Ruyan that she was now married to Yuan Hua and that the two of them should avoid any contact in the future.

The reason she had this thought was twofold. Firstly, Liu Ruyan's appearance and status put pressure on her. She wasn't afraid of Liu Ruyan finding her husband, but she was worried that her husband still had feelings for her.

Secondly, there was a hint of resentment, because Yuan Hua had pursued Liu Ruyan, but Liu Ruyan hadn't been interested in him. The one she didn't like ended up marrying her, so she felt a natural sense of inferiority.

Well, women's competitive nature is just so strange.

But Liu Ruyan didn't take the bait at all. For her, playing these underhanded tricks was not as good as finding a place to rest.

She lightly touched the glass with her finger, and her posture made her seem very casual, as if she hadn't understood the meaning behind the other person's words at all. However, her nonchalant expression and tone carried a hint of disdain, which made Feng Xue feel inexplicably uncomfortable. In the end, she could only force a smile and, together with her man, invited everyone to raise their glasses, which was considered a toast by the newlyweds.

Watching the two figures leave, Lin Mo couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at Liu Ruyan and give her a thumbs up under the table.

Liu Ruyan winked at him without saying a word, and the two understood each other perfectly.

Just kidding. Who is Emperor Ruyan? Although she can't be bothered with such petty schemes, she is definitely not the kind of person who would suffer a loss.

If it weren't for the fact that today is her big day, I would have said something to her no matter what.

"Phew, thank goodness a fight didn't break out."

After the newlyweds left, Miss Yuan patted her flat chest, still somewhat shaken.

Upon hearing this, Ms. Zhao Yun, who was standing nearby, laughed and said, "What are you thinking? Fighting? Your imagination is too rich. Do you really think it's just kids fighting over a girl?"

"Who can say for sure? My sister-in-law seems easy to talk to, but she actually cares a lot. She must have heard some rumors and even asked me about it."

But who am I? When you ask me, I always say I don't know or am unclear. My brother and I fight every day.

"That was terrifying! Luckily, Liu Ruyan, you went out to avoid the storm during the engagement, otherwise..." Miss Yuan shook her head and said.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at him: "Get lost, what do you mean by 'avoiding the limelight'? I went to visit my boyfriend's family, okay?"

You don't actually think your brother getting married is more important than my own marriage, do you?

The others standing nearby were completely confused. After all, Lin Mo hadn't mentioned anything about Yuan Hua and Liu Ruyan to them. Even though Miss Yuan could tell him about such things, he couldn't just tell others!

Just as the group was chatting, several pairs of eyes unknowingly looked over. Lin Mo noticed this, turned his head to look, and found that the other party was actually Yuan Hua's groomsmen.

However, he didn't care. After all, with Miss Yuan, the groom's younger sister, and two beautiful women, Liu Ruyan and Zhao Yun, at their table, it was only natural that they would attract some attention.

Thinking of this, and noticing that everyone had almost finished eating, he couldn't help but ask, "Sister Ruyan, are you going with your uncle and aunt, or are you coming back with us?"

"Let's go together! I haven't been drinking, and I'll drive!" Liu Ruyan said with a smile.

Lin Mo nodded in agreement: "Okay, we've eaten enough. Let's go tell Uncle Yuan and Aunt Jiang, and then head back!"

Upon hearing this, everyone stood up and headed towards the door!
