Serpentine Movement

New York.

On the Hudson River.

Vance Mout Hotel.

Marshall and Lily's wedding was held here.

"Are you kidding me?"

When Adam and the others entered, the first thing they saw was a pregnant woman who was about to give birth, sitting next to a harp in the hall, looking as if she was trying hard to suppress her discomfort.

As doctors, Adam and Juno naturally went there immediately.

"I'm fine, I'm fine."

The pregnant woman, supporting her large belly, took a few quick breaths and smiled, saying, "I can manage."

When is your due date?

Adam asked.

"Tuesday."

The pregnant woman smiled.

"We'll be there soon, why are you talking about the harp?"

Adam was puzzled.

"It was last Tuesday."

The pregnant woman laughed and said, "Lily's dad and my dad are good friends, so of course I can't miss Lily's wedding. I'll definitely make it... Oh, hoohoo!"

"..."

Everyone fell silent.

"Go to the hospital."

Juno advised, "The wedding will take a long time; you won't be able to endure that long."

"But Lily has already given the money..."

The pregnant woman hesitated.

"It doesn't matter."

Adam forced a smile, "I'll handle it. Just consider it as if you played it here."

Damn it!

They really don't care about anything else when it comes to making money.

This is really messing with Lily.

If the pregnant woman playing the harp suddenly gives birth halfway through the wedding, that would truly be considered an early birth of a son.

Compared to this, blessings like sprinkling longan, peanuts, and lotus seeds are utterly inadequate, aren't they?

So you're telling me that in the United States, connections don't matter and everything is based on merit?

The relationship is blatantly obvious.

They even go so far as to target weddings.

"Oh well."

Seeing Adam say that, the pregnant woman stopped trying to hold on and laughed, "Actually, I can only hold on for half the time at most. I definitely won't make it to the end. Besides, I feel that on this festive day, I might give birth."

"Congratulations."

Adam's lips twitched slightly. He called over a waiter and carefully helped the pregnant woman, who was about to give birth, away.

Then Adam prepared to make a phone call and have his assistant, Ada, find the harpist.

"Stop playing the harp."

Juno reminded her, "I heard Lily complain that she originally wanted to hire someone to play the guitar, but her father owed this pregnant woman's father a favor, so she hired this person instead."

"It's a favor."

Adam shook his head.

In the United States, everything is business.

Back when Monica was a catering contractor, her mother would invite her to banquets, and she always paid her the full amount.

Lily's dad really went to great lengths to repay the favor.

No wonder Lily didn't tell her father when she found out her mother was having an affair with a professional athlete.

"I can play."

Karen said.

"I know."

Adam took out his phone, dialing his assistant Ada's number while smiling at Karen, "Not only can you play, but Juno can play too, and so can I. But we're all guests, we can't just keep playing guitar, can we? Aren't you going to dance with Juno?"

"Let him find someone."

Juno smiled and tugged at Karen's hand.

Adam spoke to his assistant, Ada.

Even though it was expedited, Ada still readily agreed.

No way.

Practice makes perfect.

She had dealt with far too many of these kinds of things for Adam.

After dealing with this most cringe-worthy incident, everyone headed towards the bride and groom's dressing room.

There are naturally two rooms.

Juno and the others went into the bride's dressing room. Adam hadn't planned to go in and had already walked away, but when he saw a man sneaking into the bride's dressing room, he immediately followed him.

Hi, Lily.

The man was trying hard to stand tall and proud.

"Scooter, what are you doing here?"

Lily had just happily hugged and talked with Juno and the others when she saw the man who made her expression change.

"He's not Scooter anymore."

Scooter swaggered a few steps toward Lily with an air of utter indifference. "I'm called Bill now. A lot of things have changed, but one thing will never change: I still love you. I came here to bring you back to me."

"Hehe, you're joking, right?"

Lily couldn't help but smile.

It's been eight years since they graduated high school, and eight years since they broke up. They haven't had any contact in that time. Her ex-boyfriend's sudden move made her want to laugh.

Then, seeing that he wasn't smiling, she couldn't smile either.

She certainly didn't want such a melodramatic scene to happen on her special day with Marshall.

Although she knew Marshall wouldn't suspect her, given how jealous Marshall was, knowing that Scooter had come and pulled this stunt would definitely ruin Marshall good mood.

"Lily, I know this is crazy, but I love you."

Scooter, completely oblivious to Lily's worries, stood there with his head held high, reciting poetry in a tone that suggested, "If you can look me in the eye and tell me you want to marry Marshall, then I will leave now and never set foot in your life again!"

He gestured with his arms to emphasize his point.

"I think..."

Upon hearing this, Lily was overjoyed and opened her mouth to speak.

But then, Scooter's neck suddenly began to twist like a snake.

"I think..."

Lily tried to meet Scooter's gaze and say those words to make Scooter give up completely.

But Scooter's Serpentine Movement maneuvers gave Lily absolutely no chance.

I'm twisting!

I'm twisting!

Adam couldn't stand it any longer and stepped forward to grab Scooter's head, preventing him from dodging Lily's eyes with his Serpentine Movement.

"Let me go!"

Scooter struggled to break free.

But his limited strength was simply no match for Adam.

"Lily, you can speak now."

Adam pressed Scooter's head down and said to Lily with a smile.

"Good."

Lily was overjoyed.

Even so, Scooter still didn't give up.

You locked my head, but my eyes can still move.

So Scooter's eyes started to cross in all sorts of ways, leaving Lily speechless and exasperated.

"Hurry up and tell me, or I'm going to throw him out."

Adam was amused by Scooter's cross-eyedness, but still gave him a reminder.

"Scooter, I want to marry Marshall, and I only want to marry Marshall."

Lily said seriously, "Can you stop messing around? Our two families have a good relationship, and I don't want things to get too tense."

"What did you say? I didn't hear you."

Scooter was determined not to accept this fact.

"OK".

Adam picked up Scooter and walked out, saying, "I'll listen to you."

"I heard from Barney that Scooter is here!"

Marshall's law school classmate, one of the best men, rushed over upon hearing the news. "I'll handle it!"

The best man's job is to help the groom with all the wedding-related matters.

Getting rid of the love rival is obviously of paramount importance.

This was originally Barney's task, but clearly he had gone off somewhere to pick up women again and hadn't taken it seriously at all, letting Scooter wander around aimlessly.

"Alright, leave it to me."

Adam, carrying Scooter, said to the somewhat unreliable best man, "Go to Marshall and see if he needs anything else."

"Good!"

The best man, also Columbia Law School alumnus, naturally recognized Adam, the prominent classmate. He gave Scooter a fierce look and strode away.

"Keep an eye on him for me, don't let him in."

Adam, carrying Scooter, walked to the door and said to the waiter at the door, "This is what the bride said."

"Yes, sir."

The waiter immediately agreed.

He didn't care what the bride said; all he knew was that Adam had given a tip when he came in, a tip that made people feel incredibly good about him.
