Chapter 697: Chapter 669: A Son of the Zhan Family Comes of Age (Part 3)

Although they were mentally prepared for a fake marriage,

he was too much, after all, today was their wedding night.

He just left without giving her any face?

"If he wants to leave, let him leave, I don’t have any relatives or friends to be embarrassed in front of," Xia Luo angrily said as she took off her wedding dress to shower.

After bathing, she occupied the big bed alone to sleep.

However, the wedding photo hanging above the bed felt like a huge mockery, laughing at her all night.

The next day, Zhan Yunxiao didn’t come back either.

Xia Luo thought his impulsive behavior would make him look bad, but unexpectedly she was the one being embarrassed.

Three days later, the Zhan Family held a banquet.

As Zhan Yunxiao’s new wife, Xia Luo was of course expected to accompany him.

Originally, she didn’t want to go, but Ye Ningwan personally called her to come.

Xia Luo didn’t want to upset Ye Ningwan, so she agreed.

Once there, Ye Ningwan introduced her to others.

But as soon as Ye Ningwan walked away, a few women started mockingly gossiping about Xia Luo.

"I heard you upset Young Master Zhan on your wedding night, and he’s never been back since?"

"What exactly did you do to make Young Master Zhan so mad that he refused to stay on your wedding night?"

"What a disgrace, to be abandoned on your wedding night, and still have the face to appear in public."

"Have you three said enough? I’m not one of those well-mannered ladies who will endure your sarcastic remarks. Believe me, if I retaliate, everyone will know who’s really embarrassed," Xia Luo reprimanded with a cold face.

The women were frightened, immediately shutting up.

Xia Luo’s expression and gaze were not joking, and they had heard rumors that she was not someone to be trifled with, so they dared not provoke her further.

Afraid she’d actually lose her temper and do something to disgrace them.

Seeing the women intimidated, Xia Luo sneered and took some food to be alone.

She didn’t like such occasions, nor did she know anyone; she was an outsider here.

However, Ye Ningwan came over.

Xia Luo immediately stood up, awkwardly lowered her head.

Ye Ningwan gently asked, "Why not chat with them?"

"I... don’t really know them, can’t find common ground to talk," Xia Luo truthfully said.

She thought Ye Ningwan would be angry, but was surprised when she held her hand, smiled and said, "Actually, I don’t like such occasions either. I used to feel uneasy here like you, feeling out of place. So I rarely attend these, only when there’s no choice do I come."

"If you don’t like it, why force yourself to fit in?" Xia Luo questioned.

Ye Ningwan replied, "Of course it’s because I love my husband."

Xia Luo looked at her confused.

Ye Ningwan laughed, "Someone like Zhan Hanjue needs a sophisticated wife by his side. But I don’t enjoy these, so he rarely makes me attend parties. Since he treats me this way, what harm is there in me making a little concession for him? Love is mutual. I can’t just take without giving, so I can occasionally make small concessions like attending these unwilling gatherings."

"You and Mr. Zhan are truly in love, it’s admirable," Xia Luo said with envy.

"Still calling him Mr. Zhan, you are now married to Xiao, you can call us Mom and Dad from now on," Ye Ningwan gently reminded.

Xia Luo blushed, nodded, and called out, "Mom."

Ye Ningwan looked pleased.

"Actually, you and Xiao can be like this. You have a foundation of feelings, it’s just complications and misunderstandings that led to the current situation. If you calmly reflect, brush aside the complications, and focus only on the feelings, your relationship is fundamentally strong," Ye Ningwan reminded her.

Xia Luo pressed her lips, knowing she was telling the truth.

But how easy is it to actually do that?

"Xiao will come later, Xia Luo, I’m not blaming you, but your relationship indeed reached this point because of you. So, whether as Xiao’s mother or as an outsider, I sincerely hope you can break this stalemate, and take the initiative to reconcile," Ye Ningwan put her hand on Xia Luo’s, speaking earnestly.

"Reconcile? How to reconcile?" Xia Luo asked, confused.

Ye Ningwan smiled, "Of course with gentle kindness, genuine efforts make the hardest hearts soften. If you take initiative to be good to him, he certainly won’t keep you at arm’s length."

Xia Luo blushed.

"Also, this will eliminate the awkward impression left by your separation on the wedding night. Look how you’re being criticized for this, and Xiao’s situation isn’t much better than yours. So you should know what to do. Of course, it’s up to you whether to do it or not."

Just as she was speaking, Zhan Yunxiao walked in.
