Chapter 5

Jing Yu’s furry ears trembled slightly. Then, he reached out and gently hugged Qu Xiaowan’s waist.

At this moment, the door of the lounge was suddenly pushed open. Before she could see anyone, she heard Yue Ran’s anxious voice. “Xiaowan, it’s already eleven o’clock. Your father said that if it really doesn’t work out, this wedding will be canceled…” Before she could finish speaking, she saw the two people hugging each other. She was stunned and stammered, “X-Xiaowan, wh-who is he?”

“He’s my husband now!” Qu Xiaowan happily introduced him to her mother and said with a smile, “We’ll talk about the rest later. The people outside must be waiting anxiously. Let’s finish the wedding first.”

Yue Ran looked like she was doubting her ears, but her daughter did not want to say too much now. Moreover, there were so many guests in the banquet hall, so she could not leave them there.

Qu Xiaowan held Ah Yu’s hand and walked towards the banquet hall. Halfway there, she suddenly felt that Ah Yu’s palm was very hot. She turned around and asked, “Ah Yu, what’s wrong?”

“I’m so hot. I want to show my tail…” Ah Yu’s voice was aggrieved and pitiful. He tugged at his collar uncomfortably.

Yi Han was not a beastman, so the suits that were custom-made for him were naturally not suitable for beastmen. Qu Xiaowan could only ask Ah Yu to keep his tail in, otherwise he could not wear the pants.

She hurriedly coaxed him. “Ah Yu, can you bear with it? The wedding will end soon. Then, we’ll go and rest.”

Yue Ran was very curious about her son-in-law who suddenly appeared! She looked at Ah Yu and frowned. “Xiaowan, he seems to have entered a manic period.”

Qu Xiaowan was puzzled. “Manic period?”

Only beastmen had manic periods. Beastmen was an atavistic phenomenon. It was very rare. Only Qu Xiaowan’s eldest brother in the Qu Family was a beastman. He was already in the third year of the Military Academy at China University.

After the beastmen reached adulthood, they would experience a manic period every year. The duration of the manic period was uncertain. However, the beastmen’s emotions would be very unstable and they would lack a sense of security every time they entered the manic period. They would cry very easily. After the manic period ended, their memories during this period would become blurry. Beastmen with partners would relieve the uncomfortable symptoms of the manic period through their partners. Without partners, they could only use potions or rely on their willpower to endure it. It would damage their mental strength and affect their health if they endured it forcefully.

Yue Ran said with certainty, “Your brother was very similar to him now when he was in the manic period. Did he bring any medicine to relieve his manic period?”

Qu Xiaowan turned to look at Ah Yu. Ah Yu’s eyes were red as he held her hand tightly and refused to let go. He didn’t even know where his house was, so how could he remember to bring the medicine?

“Mom, help me ask Big Brother for a potion. Let’s finish the wedding first. I’ll give him a potion immediately after it’s over.”

“That’s all we can do for now.” Yue Ran sighed. What was going on today!

At the banquet hall, Qu Zhen was standing on the stage with a livid expression.

It was already so late and Yi Han was not back yet. This wedding was definitely hopeless. Qu Zhen felt that he had been humiliated by Qu Xiaowan!

His eldest son reminded softly, “Dad, someone from District One came today. You have to control your emotions. Grandpa is also below the stage!”

Old Master Qu of the Qu Family, Old Master Yi of the Yi Family, and a few big shots from District One sat in the first row. They were all famous people. They looked quite calm and they would even chat occasionally.

However, there were too many guests today. There were still no signs of the wedding starting after waiting for so long. There were already people discussing it below.

“I heard that Yi Han is still in Division Six!”

“The Qu Family has lost all their face today. After all, even someone from District One came.”

“The daughter of the Qu Family will be 20 years old in an hour. It looks like she will be forcefully assigned a man by the main system.”

“There might be a chance that she will be assigned to me. Hahaha.”

“You want it? That’s a sickly person. She laid in the freezer for five years. I wonder if she’s still fertile.”

The Yi Family members also had different expressions. Madam Yi was the first to panic. What if the Qu Family became their enemies with them because of this?

Yi Nuan said calmly, “Mom, don’t worry. Qu Xiaowan loves my brother very much. Even if she finds someone else to marry at the last minute, she will definitely get a divorce in the end and shamelessly pester my brother.”

Madam Yi frowned. “How can a divorce be so easy? What if she can’t get a divorce when the time comes?”

Yi Nuan gloated. “Then Qu Xiaowan is unlucky.”

When Qu Zhen heard these words, his expression turned even uglier. He took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his chest. Then, he forced a smile and was about to end this farce when he saw the door of the banquet hall being pushed open.
