Armand coughed lightly and jokingly in the direction of Boyce as he snickered, “A woman is better than
you.”
Boyce shifted his body away from him as he complained, “You have some foul breath. Stay away from
me.”
Armand glared at him, “You’re the one with the foul breath.” As he said that, he shot a wink at Jasmine
which indicated him seeking approval on his opinion about Boyce’s bad breath from her.
Jasmine could feel her cheeks burning, “If you bully us now, I won’t say anything nice in front of your
future girlfriend. We will even spout bad remarks about you and coerce her to part with you.”
Armand didn’t know what to say to that.
This hateful bitch!
Dolores laughed bitterly, “Armand, that’s enough. See, you’re embarrassing them.”
Armand sat down and picked up a pair of chopsticks, looking like he was about to begin his meal, “This
is such a golden opportunity. Otherwise, once we pass this village, we won’t have any chance to see
Boyce blushing anymore.”
“You’re the one who’s blushing here,” Boyce said awkwardly.
“Boyce, down that drink with Jasmine. You have to shut Armand up.” Dolores chipped in merrily.
Jasmine thought that Dolores would side with Boyce and her, but it turned out that she was siding with
Armand now. Jasmine cooed coquettishly, “Lola, my sister-in-law, stop bullying us.”
“Hey, hey, you’re calling her so intimately now. Faster down this cross-cupped beer.” Armand once
again tried to rile up the atmosphere.
Jasmine shot a death glare at Armand, “Of course I will follow Boyce’s way of addressing.”
Armand put up his hands innocently. Deep down, he was reluctant to watch Jasmine and Boyce
showing their loveliness in front of him now. Damn it, his relationship was in jeopardy now, so he
couldn’t bring himself to see another happy couple.
“Faster down it, you lot. It’s just a cross-cupped cup of beer. I’m not even asking you to toast to your
love in front of us.”
Jasmine winked. What did he mean by a toast to our love?
Matthew warned, “Don’t go overboard.”
It was one thing to mess around, but it was another to go overboard.
Armand smiled wryly as he shoved a piece of rib-eye beef into his mouth. He swallowed it and
commented, “This just happens to be a rare opportunity.”
Boyce picked up his chopsticks, wanting to dismiss the whole thing with the cross-cupped beer, but
before he could pretend that nothing had happened and picked up a piece of duck blood, Matthew’s
voice, “Don’t be so hasty. Finish that cup that Armand has poured for you first.”
Boyce was speechless at the moment.
Didn’t this episode just end?
He slowly looked up.
Dolores was covering a smile with her hand.
Armand let out a chuckle by the side, and Boyce immediately snapped his head at him, “What the hell
are you laughing at?”
“Don’t spout rude words in front of your future wife.” Armand patted his chest and continued, “I won’t
laugh anymore. Don’t you see that everyone is waiting for you guys to have a cross-cupped beer? You
should be a man and stop fussing around like that. You’re not manly at all.”
Boyce let out a snort and raised a cup of beer. He then turned to look at Jasmine.
Jasmine reached out her hand cooperatively.
Boyce hooked his arm around hers awkwardly, and it was obvious the couple was embarrassed by this.
However, due to the enticement of the others around them, they wouldn’t be able to just breeze through
this without doing anything.
The three of them watched the couple finishing their cross-cupped beer, and Armand began clapping,
“This is good enough…”
Boyce put down his cup and shot a glance at him, “Just you wait.”
Armand’s face immediately turned bitter, “I can’t wait for you to get back at me, but from the look of
things, I can’t see any opportunity like this anymore shortly.”
He would go back to interrogate the old lady with a knife on her neck as he threatened, “If you continue
to force my hand, I will really die in front of you.”
The old lady was very composed, “You won’t do it.”
Armand had nothing to say to that.
“I am the one who raised you. Don’t you think I should know you thoroughly?”
Armand immediately deflated like a balloon upon hearing that.
“You should drink more. This is my wedding feast.” Boyce poured some alcohol for Armand.
Armand remarked, “You are really despicable.”
Boyce let out a laugh, “You’re not one to say that.”
Boyce turned to pour one cup for Matthew, “Since today’s our wedding feast, you two should drink
more.”
Matthew returned with a question, “Are you bearing grudges on me?”
“Do I look like someone who remembers his grudges?” Boyce put on a solemn expression.
Matthew raised his cup and toasted it with Armand, and the two of them downed their drinks in one go.
He then said, “This cup is all I’ll be drinking.”
It was not a good thing to drink too much. Furthermore, Dolores only had him by her side at the
moment. If she didn’t feel well while he was drunk, he wouldn’t be able to notice that.
Although he was a good drinker.
Boyce knew his reasons, so he only refilled Armand’s cup, “I know that you need to let out some
steam. Things will be better if you drink more.”
Armand wasn’t one to reject his drinks. It was just alcohol after all, “I won’t get drunk no matter how
much I drink in your wedding feast.”
Dolores sipped on her fruit juice and she toasted to Jasmine at the same time, “Congratulations on
your marriage. I didn’t know that you’re already registered so son. I will send in a gift as compensation
soon.”
Jasmine smiled, “You don’t need to do that.”
“It’s a must.” She just didn’t have much time at the moment, so she could only wait until next time.
Jessica came to deliver Dolores’ food at this moment, but she realized that Dolores had eaten. The
whole house was filled with the aroma of hot pot. The lot of them were busy enjoying the meal. Dolores
asked Jessica whether she had eaten as she invited her to join them. Jessica answered that she had
already eaten at home before coming here.
After the meal, Jessica opened the windows to air the house. The workers from the restaurant came in
to take away the dishes. These were all paid by Boyce, and he had already spent a lot just for this
occasion.
The lot of them engaged in a brief conversation before they decided to call it a day. Dolores had to rest.
Armand left the house with Boyce, but halfway in their departure, he visited the washroom. Boyce and
Jasmine emerged from the hospital first.
Since they had drunk a lot, Boyce had called for a driver.
In no time, the driver arrived and Boyce handed his car key to him and told him the address.
Jasmine and he took a seat at the back.
Jasmine didn’t get close to him while in the car. The two of them had straightened their bodies as if
they were slightly nervous.
Soon, the car arrived at their destination. Boyce paid for the trip and retrieved his car keys before they
ventured into their community area.
Normally, Jasmine would take his arm, but it was different now. Boyce had taken the initiative to invite
her to sleep over together, and deep in her heart, she knew what that would entail.
At that moment, there were butterflies in her stomach.
