“Alright, it’s okay. I’ll go check on her later. Don’t worry too much. Weddings are supposed to be happy occasions, and I don’t want anything to disrupt ours. The fewer complications, the better. I’m sorry you have to deal with this,” Gu Shaoting said somewhat helplessly, knowing there wasn’t much he could do about his mother.

“Okay, no problem,” Shu Pan said, feeling a bit relieved.

“Let’s go eat something. I’ve been busy all day and haven’t had lunch yet,” Gu Shaoting said, taking Shu Pan’s hand and leading her to the barbecue grill, where he picked up a grilled chicken wing.

Shu Pan was taken aback and immediately felt sorry. “Why didn’t you say earlier? What else do you want to eat? Let me help you grill.”

“Grill some beef and shrimp for me,” Gu Shaoting said, watching everyone having a good time, feeling happy himself.

Shu Pan focused on grilling for him. “You’ve worked hard, honey.”

Gu Shaoting leaned in beside her and said, “I won’t come to sleep tonight. Judy will deliver the wedding gown she customized for you to your room later, and

Huanhuan will accompany you to try it on.”

“Where are you going?” Shu Pan blurted out.

“Isn’t there a tradition that newlyweds shouldn’t sleep together on the eve of the wedding?” Gu Shaoting paused for a moment, then continued, “It’s just for one night. It’ll pass quickly.”

His words felt awkward, as if Shu Pan was eagerly anticipating it. She blushed.

She retorted somewhat indignantly, “I’m more comfortable alone, but are you sure you don’t want to see me in my wedding dress?”

“Not tonight. I’ll save the surprise for tomorrow,” Gu Shaoting teased her.

“Actually, He Ming and the others are throwing me a bachelor party tonight, starting at 11. I couldn’t decline.”

“Don’t get drunk,” Shu Pan reminded him.

“I won’t. Tomorrow is an important day in my life, and I can’t afford any mistakes,” Gu Shaoting said, even more nervous than Shu Pan.

Shu Pan grilled a lot of food for Gu Shaoting, and he enjoyed it immensely. In fact, he didn’t want to attend any bachelor party; he just wanted to be with his wife. But his friends had made it clear that if he didn’t attend tonight, they would cause trouble during the wedding night.

For the sake of an unforgettable wedding night, he reluctantly agreed.

In the most inconspicuous corner of the party, Gu Huanhuan quietly grilled food while wearing a hat. In front of her were tofu, chives, shrimp, beef, and more.

She tried to keep a low profile because most of the people there were friends, not relatives. However, someone still noticed her and struck up a conversation.

Feeling a bit impatient, she couldn’t help but think about how she used to dream of being a star. But ever since she became famous, she lost her freedom and privacy. She was starting to regret it.

The men kept boasting about their achievements, how many companies they owned, and how much property they had. Finally, they asked, “Miss Gu, could I have your phone number?”

Gu Huanhuan felt speechless. She couldn’t stand people like this. She remembered meeting a fortune teller at the beginning of the year who said she would meet her true love this year.

Now it seemed laughable. Where was her true love? She didn’t know, but she knew these were all just rotten peach blossoms.

“Sorry, it’s not convenient for me to give out my number. My agency has rules,” she replied politely, not wanting to offend the guest.

The man was left feeling embarrassed and walked away.

Looking around, Gu Huanhuan noticed that most people had left, feeling tired and heading back to their rooms.

She quickly finished up what she was doing and decided to head back too. She had an important task later: helping her cousin-in-law try on her wedding dress..
