Chapter 50: Wedding
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
Excluding the second gender, Dong Du was still the least adept at dealing with girls. He had just sent away Lita when he turned around and saw someone else looking at him with bright eyes. It was Meng Ruan, who had only recently emerged from the shadows after being beaten by him twice.
Dong Du glared at him warily, and even moved his small cake away. “What are you doing?”
“Just let me have a bite too, Your Highness.” Meng Ruan dragged a chair closer to Dong Du, pointing at the strawberry-flavored piece of cake. “I like this flavor.”
“The strawberry side has a lot more. You can get it yourself,” Dong Du gathered his small cake.
He didn’t want to share the cake with that annoying alpha.
Meng Ruan looked aggrieved and pouted, “After you beat me like that last time, shouldn’t you compensate me?”
Dong Du was momentarily stunned at his words. If he hadn’t beaten Meng Ruan last time, he probably wouldn’t be sitting here eating cake now.
He didn’t speak; even his aura momentarily fell silent. Dong Du, despite having a large appetite, never hurried when eating. Now, as he quieted down, even eating the cake seemed rushed. Some people, when feeling uneasy, tended to resort to binge eating.
Not pleased, Novisane made a dissatisfied noise. Even Zhu Di and Hanchester stared coldly at Meng Ruan. Meng Ruan’s only experience in love was with Xia En, who was always coaxing him. How could he realize what he did wrong? He tightened his neck in bewilderment.
“Do you still want the lemon-flavored small cake? I’ll help you get it. There are new cakes now.” Novisane, seemingly oblivious to Dong Du venting his emotions, proposed to assist him, causing Dong Du to slow down. He sighed heavily, “It’s okay, I won’t eat it. We’ll have dinner later.”
“Eating so much cake will make you sick. I’ll get you a glass of juice.” Zhu Di, after looking at Novisane for a moment, suddenly spoke, not waiting for Dong Du’s response. He got up and headed towards the juice area.
Zhu Di brought back a cup of orange juice. Dong Du happened to be a bit thirsty, and he drank the juice in one gulp. He thanked Zhu Di, who returned a smile. This guy probably didn’t smile much, and when he did, it looked very strange. Dong Du couldn’t help but laugh, but he quickly suppressed his laughter and turned his face away.
At this point, the emcee came on stage and tapped the microphone. Standing on a small stage, he addressed the scattered guests, “Respected guests, friends and family, ladies and gentlemen, good morning. The wedding of Mr. Qin Yi and Mr. Li Sheng is about to begin. Please take your seats as soon as possible. Today, we are honored to have the Emperor of the Empire attend our wedding and deliver the opening speech.”
The venue quieted down, and Xi Yuan, dressed in a suit, walked onto the small stage. “Today, we are gathered here for the wedding of Mr. Qin Yi and Mr. Li Sheng. Many of us may not even know them, but we are here for the same purpose…”
Xi Yuan’s speech was almost unrelated to the wedding. His address mainly encouraged everyone to donate for the counterattack against the war.
After the speech, the emcee took the microphone again, explaining that today’s gift money would be entirely used for the ongoing counterattack.
After a series of proceedings, Qin Yi and Li Sheng walked onto the stage. Li Sheng had inconvenient legs, so Qin Yi carried him onto the stage, followed by two people carrying his wheelchair.
People from the capital star sighed. “Isn’t this Qin Yi the richest man in the Black Gold Fortress? How can he marry a disabled omega? People from the Black Gold Fortress are too careless.”
“You can’t be sure. Maybe he just likes this type. He can’t walk or run. Some people have strong control tendencies; they feel more at ease this way.”
“Stop talking; be careful if His Majesty hears.” Lita exclaimed impatiently. Up to now, she was still agonizing over the bite of cake she had eaten.”
When they were discussing this, Dong Du was drinking. The cocktails were all colorful, and the taste was light, almost like juice. Dong Du drank several glasses in a row, feeling that the alcohol was nothing special. They said he would get drunk, but wasn’t it just like juice? After the last glass of champagne, Dong Du felt a bit dizzy after ten minutes. He shook his head and dared not drink anymore.
On the stage, Brovill blessed Qin Yi and Li Sheng, and they exchanged rings. A cute little girl omega brought flowers to Li Sheng. After taking a look around, he threw the bouquet towards Dong Du.
Dong Du didn’t react at all and subconsciously caught the bouquet. Then, he looked at Li Sheng in confusion, “Why did you throw away your own flowers?”
“Dong Du, I’m passing on my happiness to you. Looking at you today and the Prime Minister, it seems you two are wearing matching suits, right?” Li Sheng had Qin Yi push him next to Dong Du, observing him being befuddled. He whispered in his ear, “Are you both wearing couple outfits?”
Couple outfits?
Dong Du only knew that both of their clothes were white, and he hadn’t paid attention to the patterns on them. Both sets of suits were almost indistinguishable. Other embellishments were only present on one side of the shoulder and cuffs, forming an artistic design that spelled out the characters of “Dong Du” when Dong Du and Novisane stood together.
Meng Ruan, sitting next to Dong Du, also heard Li Sheng’s words. He took a deep breath and discontentedly said, “Your Excellency, your scheming runs too deep!”
Novisane glanced at him, too lazy to speak. Meng Ruan continued, “But I think His Highness still likes me the most. You guys care too much about appearances. There’s no feeling of being in love when you’re with them.”
“Shut up,” Zhu Di said.
So Meng Ruan made a gesture as if zipping his mouth, effectively closing it. He really had no rights; he couldn’t speak. Otherwise, these guys would get angry if he said anything.
Dong Du studied it for a long time. His eyes brightened as he grabbed Novisane’s sleeve, saying, “You’re wearing my name!”
The attention of the entire venue had already shifted to Dong Du and Novisane following Li Sheng and Qin Yi. Dong Du’s words caused a sensation, and the guests began discussing it in hushed voices.
Novisane seemed oblivious to the gaze of others. He calmly raised Dong Du’s hand and gently kissed it. “Yes, Your Highness, I am wearing your name, and I am willing to carry its glory for a lifetime.”
Dong Du exclaimed, and with his increasing intoxication, having a normal conversation was already an achievement. Now, he couldn’t expect any other reaction from him.
Everyone at the table from the capital star looked at Lita. “Didn’t you say that person is not the Little Prince?”
“He is, so what? Can you guys still mock him now?” Lita coldly retorted.
They couldn’t. Not only could they not, but they could only envy. The current Little Prince in the Black Gold Fortress actually lived much better than when he was on the capital star. At that time, no one showed him any goodwill, especially from such an outstanding alpha.
Clearly, he was a person with questionable morals. How could he still have such good luck? The guests from the capital star were dissatisfied and planned to teach Dong Du a lesson. Since he was already drunk, he might not remember what happened tonight when he woke up in the morning.
After the wedding ceremony, it was time for dinner. Qin’s family’s themed restaurant was not open to the public for the whole day, only serving guests attending the wedding. The wedding banquet was held at the themed restaurant.
Dong Du would never miss a meal, no matter what. With a muddled mind, he followed Novisane and others, sat down, and properly held his utensils. His mind was not clear; he only knew it was time for dinner. He kept asking Novisane, “Why hasn’t the food come yet? Can we eat now? Did you take my bowl?”
At their table, the highest leaders of two nations and the highest military commanders were all silent, watching Dong Du venting his alcohol-induced madness at Novisane. Even Xi Yuan couldn’t be bothered to deal with him. They attended the public event in matching outfits; what else was there to say? Now that Dong Du was sensible, he could choose his own partner.
Novisane showed no signs of embarrassment and calmly responded to Dong Du’s raving, “Don’t worry, the dishes will be here soon. I won’t take your bowl. I’ll give you my bowl.”
Dong Du held both of his bowls, thinking he could eat his fill soon.
Dong Du enjoyed the wedding feast thoroughly, but as his mind became increasingly unclear, he had to bid farewell to the final evening event and return to the tower to rest. Initially, Novisane and the others wanted to accompany him, but Dong Du rejected them. Before going to rest, he still wanted to do one big thing.
He had heard someone talking behind his friend’s back at the wedding!
Not having enough fun? Well, it can still be settled with a fight.
The shadows of the trees in the small grove were swaying. Dong Du slowly stopped his footsteps. The few people behind him thought he was too drunk to walk and quickly gathered around. “Hey, isn’t this the Little Prince? Long time no see. You’ve really grown up. Now, even the enemy’s prime minister can be entangled. You disdain to pay attention to us, huh?”
Dong Du frowned and corrected, “The two countries have formed an alliance now, not enemies.”
“How long can those things last? They’ll be wiped out soon. After the war, our two countries will still be enemies. You fool, can’t you think straight?”
Dong Du answered with a powerful kick, sending the person flying. Dong Du acted as if nothing happened. He lowered his head and walked towards the person. “Say it again. What happened to those ‘things’?”
“I-I didn’t say anything wrong. They’re just bugs. A few shells and they all explode.”
Dong Du slapped the person’s face with force. The male alpha’s face was completely swollen, but Dong Du looked at him expressionlessly. “Continue.”
The person tightly covered his face, dared not say another word.
The crust of the Wandering City is very thin; it cannot be bombed recklessly. If the crust breaks, it will splash onto the Black Gold Fortress, and the insect eggs will fall onto the fortress, causing its destruction.
Seeing this scene, the others all tried to retreat fearfully. Dong Du turned around innocently, looking at them, “Why are you running?”
