Chapter 1354 - 1368: Feels Like a Thief
Although the wedding was over, those with status and position left early, and the elders also went back, leaving space for the young people.
After all, today’s groomsmen group can be considered the most high-profile in wedding history.
Not to mention the few members of the Five Young Masters of the Imperial City, even the special training team members invited by Mu Xingfeng, who among them doesn’t have achievements above that of a squad leader?
With those socialites and ladies staying behind, a portion of young talents stayed too.
Young people gathering together seek nothing but excitement, especially the groomsmen and bridesmaids who, unable to crash the bridal chamber, find plenty of ways to entertain themselves.
Assistant Qi and the hotel manager have taken over entertainment duties from Gu Haoyu, organizing a food supply area with various delicacies and drinks for the guests to choose from.
Another area with card tables, billiards, and pool tables is set up.
Upstairs, there are professional leisure and entertainment venues, fully available for the guests to enjoy.
But everyone comes for the excitement. The young attendees are either elites from various fields or second-generation officials and wealthy individuals, so they’re bored with these entertainment projects; mainly, they’re here to make connections.
Xiao Xiao can’t play cards or billiards; the only thing that attracts her is the wall full of food.
Busy in the morning and not having a proper lunch, her eyes are practically glowing at the sight of food.
She notices Chen Yuanyuan also glancing over there and nudges her, "Yuanyuan sis, let’s go grab something to eat together."
Chen Yuanyuan’s eyes flash with hesitation but are quickly replaced by joy, "Okay, where’s Xu Jing?"
She looks around, intending to call teammates to fetch food, only to find a few of them feasting in a corner.
"These guys, so inconsiderate." Chen Yuanyuan complained and ran to the food area with Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao picked up a piece of grilled fish, a small piece of steak, some pizza, and a pudding.
Looking at Chen Yuanyuan’s plate, she had a steak, three grilled wings, five big prawns, and in another plate, assorted cakes...
Xiao Xiao always thought her food intake was large among girls, but seeing Chen Yuanyuan’s, hers seemed insignificant in comparison.
"Yuanyuan sis, can you eat all of this?" Xiao Xiao couldn’t help but ask.
Chen Yuanyuan guarded her selected food, looked around, and pointed her chin to a spot in the corner, "Come, let’s sit over there."
Following her, Xiao Xiao suddenly felt like a thief.
It’s just eating, and the food here is all provided by Brother Gu to entertain guests; eating more shouldn’t be an issue.
Sitting down, Chen Yuanyuan looked around again, satisfied that no one noticed them, took a bite of the cream cake, and licked the cream off the side of her mouth with a look of contentment.
After speaking, she explained, "Our usual training is intense, and we can eat all of this. Plus, I can’t remember the last time I indulged in this kind of food. You don’t know, as a qualified female guard team member, our diet is strictly controlled; not only is high-sugar food restricted, but even high-calorie food must be moderated."
Chen Yuanyuan pointed at the fried chicken wings in front of her with a fork, then speared one with a fork and took a bite.
"To celebrate the captain’s wedding today, I’m breaking the rules..."
Saying this, she ignored Xiao Xiao and began eating without restraint.
Xiao Xiao finally understood why the female guards were all finding inconspicuous corners to eat.
Few girls don’t love food and desserts; while they dedicate their youth and passion to the country, how much hardship do they endure beyond what we can see?
