Huo Yanlin was unhappy, but he hadn’t forgotten the important matter at hand.

“Shen Yin, come with me.”

After saying this, he had originally intended to leave, but when he glanced back, he found that Shen Yin didn’t follow him directly. Instead, Shen Yin turned around and helped Song Tan sit down.

“Shen Yin!”

“Don’t be noisy.”

Huo Yanlin : ???

The guests around, watching the drama : ???

Did Shen Yin just scold Huo Yanlin?

Even Song Tan raised her eyes unexpectedly to look at him.

“There’s an emergency call function on the watch. Check it out. If there’s anything, just call me directly.”

Song Tan nodded.

Although her health wasn’t great, it wasn’t that serious.

But when she saw Huo Yanlin’s face, as dark as the bottom of a pot, she curved her lips.

“You go.”

Shen Yin nodded and straightened up, turning around to look at Huo Yanlin.

“Let’s go.”

Only now did Huo Yanlin react. He had actually been scolded by Shen Yin.

Although Shen Yin’s voice wasn’t loud, when he said “Don’t be noisy,” he truly didn’t regard Huo Yanlin. Huo Yanlin was stunned for a moment and didn’t react directly, letting Shen Yin have advantage.

Now that Huo Yanlin had realized, he couldn’t hold onto it. Otherwise, how would others see him?

Huo Yanlin clenched his teeth, following behind Shen Yin as they left.

After the two of them left, Song Tan heard the guests around whispering.

“Do you think that man just now was Shen Yin?”

“Yes, he’s Huo Yaqing’s son.”

Mentioning Huo Yaqing, the guests seemed familiar with the name.

“No wonder, Yaqing’s son.”

Huo Yaqing was an extremely outstanding person, so naturally, her son wouldn’t be too bad either.

Although in recent years, they hadn’t heard much about this person called Shen Yin doing anything remarkable, just looking at Shen Yin’s back, they felt that he was a person who did great things.

Listening to their words, Song Tan raised her eyebrows slightly.

The guests who came today seemed different from those at her and Shen Yin’s wedding.

When she married Shen Yin, the guests were mainly Huo family’s business partners, and the wedding was just an event alongside the banquet organized by the Huo family. Therefore, there were very few relatives from the Huo family.

But now, it was Huo Yanlin’s wedding, the situation was naturally different. Most of the guests were relatives with a blood connection to the Huo family.

Listening to them talk… It seems it’s been many years since they last saw Shen Yin.

However, when they talk about Shen Yin’s mother, Huo Yaqing, they can’t stop praising her.

Their voices are not loud, but because Song Tan’s hearing is good, she can catch snippets of their conversation.

After a short while, they discuss among themselves and send a representative to approach Song Tan.

“Hello, are you Shen Yin’s…”

Song Tan smiles slightly at the person and says, “I’m his wife. We just got married on the 1st of last month.”

After hearing this, the person is very surprised.

“Married last month?” They weren’t informed about this.

They are distant relatives of the Huo family. After retiring, they chose to travel globally, living in one country for a while and then in another.

This time, they returned because Old Master Huo informed them that Huo Yanlin was getting married.

They were quite familiar with Shen Yin when he was young, as their relationship with his mother was good. However, after the death of Huo Yaqing, they haven’t seen much of Shen Yin.

Unexpectedly, when they meet him again, he is already married.

This makes them ponder a bit.

Shen Yin is, after all, the son of Huo Yaqing. Even if she is no longer here, shouldn’t they be informed of her son’s marriage?

They think about this, but on the surface, they chat with Song Tan as if nothing is amiss.

Song Tan is Shen Yin’s wife.

Although she looks like her health may not be great, she is exceptionally beautiful.

She speaks in a gentle manner.

Seems to get along well with Shen Yin.

Song Tan feels that Shen Yin is different today, as if he has more presence than before.

Moreover, he probably deliberately brought her to this table.

Although she doesn’t know what he wants to do, Song Tan is a good girl. She answers truthfully to whatever these people ask, without telling any lies.

Then she sees these people exchanging glances.

From the looks of it, Shen Yin’s thoughts should be similar to what she guessed.

At this moment, Shen Yin has already left Old Master Huo’s side.

Seeing him coming out, Huo Yanlin quickly walks ahead of him, as if Huo Yanlin was the leader.

Shen Yin just glances at Huo Yanlin, ignoring Huo Yanlin’s childish behavior. However, Huo Yanlin can’t bear it and stops Shen Yin who is still walking, “What did the old man say to you?”

The expression in Shen Yin’s eyes was faint.

“You are today’s groom. Why are you not with your bride or guests? What are you doing here with me?”

Of course, Huo Yanlin was avoiding.

He didn’t want to stand by Song Jiaojiao’s side for a moment, let alone hear her calling him ‘Husband.’

Moreover, he always felt that Shen Yin and Song Tan might do something tricky, and also, today the old man wanted to see Shen Yin alone, making him somewhat uneasy.

“My affairs don’t concern you. You just need to tell me what the old man told you to do.”

“Oh, I don’t want to.”

Huo Yanlin : ???

When Shen Yin said he didn’t want to, he really meant it. He straightforwardly said, “I’m going to find Song Tan. You’re getting married today; it’s better not to make it look too ugly.”

After saying so much to Huo Yanlin, this last sentence was actually Shen Yin being considerate.

However, whether Huo Yanlin would listen was another matter.

Shen Yin didn’t care and just went straight to find Song Tan.

In the meantime, he passed by a group of people.

Shen Yin didn’t recognize them, went straight back to the front hall, and sat next to Song Tan.

“You’re back.” It was a redundant statement, but Shen Yin nodded at her.

He took another look at the table where Song Tan was sitting, and all the guests were gone, leaving only Song Tan.

“?”

Shen Yin didn’t say anything, but Song Tan understood his meaning.

He was asking where the other guests at the table had gone.

Song Tan thought to herself : Pretend, or pretend all the way.

“They seem to have something to do and left together.”

Shen Yin nodded without further questioning and turned his attention to whether she felt unwell today.

Song Tan earnestly played along.

To others, this scene truly seemed like a beautiful picture of a loving couple.

In contrast, Song Jiaojiao was preparing in the backstage.

Song Jiaojiao was supposed to be the protagonist today, but the wedding was about to start, and Huo Yanlin hadn’t appeared yet.

The makeup artists and stylists, although not saying anything, judging by their expressions, she knew what they were thinking.

Song Jiaojiao was infuriated.

She didn’t know if she should be angry at these ungrateful people or at Huo Yanlin.

In the past, if she was angry, her face would be long.

But today, the entire backstage was arranged by the Huo family, and she didn’t know anyone, so she didn’t dare to show her displeasure.

This was the first time she realized that after this marriage, things would be different from before.

She couldn’t help but think of Song Tan.

When Song Tan got married, did Song Tan feel the same way as she did?

As the wedding was about to start, Huo Yanlin returned.

When Song Jiaojiao heard that he had come back, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She had actually been worried that he might run away before the wedding.

But then she thought… even if they didn’t go through with the wedding, they had already registered, so Song Jiaojiao’s suspended heart relaxed a bit.

It must be said that, in this matter, Song Tan gave her a good idea.

Later, she was going to link arms with Huo Yanlin and raise a toast to that cousin of hers.

Song Jiaojiao felt that she might be too nervous, as her mind was filled with various thoughts.

She stood in the waiting area, took a deep breath, and then put on a smile.

So many people were looking at her today; she couldn’t afford to mess up.

When the host announced the entrance of the bride, she followed the etiquette teacher’s instructions, kicked the hem of her wedding dress, stepped to the rhythm of the music, and slowly moved forward.

She saw Huo Yanlin.

Song Jiaojiao’s lips immediately curved upwards.

However, in contrast to Song Jiaojiao’s happiness, Huo Yanlin’s expression was quite gloomy.

Watching them from below the stage, Song Tan raised his teacup, took a sip, and found it a bit hot.

Shen Yin happened to look over and saw her drinking tea. Disapprovingly, he took the tea cup from her hand and gently shook the glass to cool it down.

Song Tan : “…”

The two didn’t say a word, but those at the same table, whom Shen Yin should call Aunts and Uncles, had eyes full of admiration : Ah, so sweet!

Sweeter than the couple on stage!

They had just consulted with Old Master Huo, and he denied treating Huo Yanlin and Shen Yin differently.

Naturally, they knew that the old man from the Huo family was very diplomatic, and his words couldn’t be fully trusted.

Then they tried to find out about Shen Yin’s situation in the Huo family over the years.

To their surprise, they discovered that Shen Yin hadn’t suffered any abuse in the Huo family. However, being a talented person, he was treated as a background figure.

Isn’t supporting Shen Yin better than supporting the one on stage?

Of course, these were just their somewhat subjective thoughts.

They wouldn’t question Old Master Huo with this, but they couldn’t help but make comparisons.

Today was Huo Yanlin’s wedding day, and he stood on that stage with a gloomy face… even if he didn’t marry the person he wanted today, by showing such an expression in front of so many people, where did he place the girl?

Also, didn’t the Huo family care a lot about face? Now, with his current appearance, the Huo family’s face and substance were both lost.

On the other hand, Shen Yin, who was observing from below the stage, along with Song Tan sitting next to him.

The two of them didn’t do much, just sat up straight to observe the ceremony. Out of courtesy for the event, they remained silent, only exchanging glances with each other, very appropriately.

However, Song Tan accidentally got scalded by the tea.

On the side, Shen Yin considerately took Song Tan’s hot tea cup and gave her a glass of cold tea.

Meticulous in etiquette, thoughtful, and understanding of propriety.

Isn’t this much better than the person on the stage in every way??

Song Tan didn’t know what those guests behind her were thinking. Of course, she did notice that they occasionally glanced at her and Shen Yin.

The gaze wasn’t malicious; instead, it carried a hint of affection.

Song Tan shifted her gaze for a moment, landing on Shen Yin sitting in front of her on the side.

He should be… preparing for the next big move in the game?
