Chapter 1404: Chapter 1404: Warning

Watching how excited She was, Dong Le’s heart felt unbearably sour.

The most painful thing in this world is: I Love You, but you don’t know it—and even if you did, you still couldn’t respond.

From the very beginning, He had already lost; He didn’t even have the slightest chance.

He suddenly laughed. "Alright, then I’ll have to invite you to be my bridesmaid when the time comes. I don’t know if you’ll have time."

"As long as it’s before I marry Brother Lu Hao, it’s fine." Lan Xi agreed without hesitation.

Very quickly, She thought of something and said, a little hesitant, "Have you talked this over with the bride? She’ll probably want her best friend to be her bridesmaid, right?"

"She has no objections." Dong Le said without even thinking.

Hearing that, Lan Xi relaxed and said, "Alright, just let me know when the time comes. Whatever I can help with, I’ll definitely do my part. But since you’re asking me to be the bridesmaid, then the best man should be Brother Lu Hao. What do you think?"

When Dong Le heard that, He looked at Lu Hao, and of course He was unwilling in His heart.

He asking Lan Xi to be the bridesmaid at His wedding came with selfish motives. Since He couldn’t marry Her, He wanted Her to take part in His wedding, at least to ease His regret a little.

But then what does it mean if Lu Hao is the best man?

Does He have to watch them show up as a pair even at His own wedding?

"I don’t mind, I just don’t know if Dong Le’s okay with it." Lu Hao’s voice suddenly came from behind.

He stepped forward, wrapped His arm around Lan Xi’s waist, and looked at Dong Le with a smile, though the smile never reached His eyes.

He’d already sensed for a while that Dong Le liked Lan Xi; He just hadn’t taken it seriously before.

But now that Lan Xi was His fiancée, He naturally couldn’t allow anyone else to covet Her.

Seeing that possessive look on Lu Hao’s face, Dong Le suddenly smiled. "If Brother Lu Hao has the time, I naturally don’t mind."

"Then it’s settled." Lan Xi said with a smile, clearly quite happy about being a bridesmaid.

"Alright, enough chatting. Come drink." Ning Ze spoke up at the right moment.

Without another word, Dong Le picked up a glass of liquor and downed it.

He set the glass down, picked up another, turned His head to look at Lu Hao and Lan Xi, and said, "This drink is for you two. Thank you for helping out."

Lan Xi picked up a glass with a smile. "We’re all good friends, good brothers—no need to be so polite."

She was about to drink it, but just as the glass touched Her lips, Lu Hao snatched it away.

"Didn’t I tell you to drink less?"

Lan Xi gave Lu Hao a sweet smile and let go of the glass.

Lu Hao looked at Dong Le and said, "Lan Xi and I have never been anyone’s best man and bridesmaid before. We should be the ones thanking you for giving us this chance, so we can experience it once before we get married."

Hearing the gunpowder-laced remark, Ning Ze glanced at Dong Le, worried He might lose control of His emotions.

But Dong Le acted like nothing was wrong and simply drank the liquor down.

Lu Hao followed by drinking His as well, then set down the glass and pulled Lan Xi over to sit and talk on the side.

Ning Ze patted Dong Le on the shoulder and said, "I’ll drink a couple with you?"

Dong Le picked up His glass, gave Him a look, and drained it.

Ning Ze helped Him refill a glass, poured one for himself too, lifted his glass to Dong Le in a gesture, and drank it in one go.

As someone who’d also been disappointed in love, he understood His mood all too well.

Because Lan Xi had come over, they didn’t drink for much longer before everyone started getting ready to leave.

Before leaving, Lu Hao went to the restroom.

Just as He walked in, Dong Le followed right behind Him.

After Lu Hao finished up, He saw Dong Le standing off to the side and asked, "Something you want?"

Dong Le had drunk quite a bit; the smell of alcohol hung all over Him, but His eyes were clear and firm.

He said in a low voice, "Lan Xi likes you. There’s nothing I can do about that. Feelings aren’t something we can control. I also know I can’t compare to you. But if you ever dare let Her down, I won’t let you off."
