Chapter 927 Garter Toss
Jin Liwei took inspiration from how his wife threw the bouquet earlier. He closed his eyes and threw the garter like a baseball at a random direction behind him. But since the garter was extremely light compared to the bouquet, it still flew slowly in the air.
All the men ran forward, their eyes never leaving the garter. They looked like basketball players going for a rebound.
Surprisingly, it was the thin and gentle Lin Yehan who reached for the garter first because it flew the closest to him. However, just before he could reach for it, the more aggressive Yu Mo decided to play dirty and push him out of the way.
Jin Chonglin took this chance to jump up and reach for the garter himself but Wang Yingjie didn't let him. The doctor also surprisingly played dirty and pulled Jin Chonglin's clothes, causing Jin Chonglin to lose his balance and almost fall to the floor before he was able to stabilize himself.
"Second Bro Yingjie, you dare!" Jin Chonglin roared.
Wang Yingjie ignored him, his eyes never leaving the flying garter, but there was a slight smirk on his lips. He ran forward with great speed, his expertise in karate showing in his agility and body coordination.
"Oh no, you don't!" Yu Mo shouted. He also ran forward and displayed his own speed and agility from his Systema training.
"OMG! This is so exciting!! My maiden heart is racing like crazy!!! I don't know who to cheer for! Kyaaaaaaaaaah!!!" Dom jumped up and down in excitement but stopped upon remembering that he was supposed to record everything on video.
Clover and Meimei were also in similar states as him. They didn't know who to cheer for so they just cheered for everyone.

At the moment, it looked like it would either be Wang Yingjie or Yu Mo who had the highest chance of catching the garter. Close behind them was Jin Chonglin. Lin Yehan was a little farther in the back but he wasn't giving up yet.
Wang Yingjie and Yu Mo both jumped up at the same time. Yu Mo was able to jump higher. Victory was almost in his hands.
In the next second, however, a huge blur whizzed past everyone and easily snatched the garter from Yu Mo's fingertips.
Lu Zihao landed on his feet, barely making any sound. The delicate lace garter looked out of place in his huge, calloused and scarred hand. He examined it for a few seconds before walking away as if nothing happened.
"What the hell, Fifth Bro?!" Yu Mo chased after him.
Jin Chonglin clicked his tongue and kicked the air in frustration. He really wanted a property at Dragon Palace Homes.
Wang Yingjie and Lin Yehan looked at each other before sighing and shaking their heads.
Lu Zihao ignored everyone and walked straight to where Long Jinjing was sitting.
"That's my boy!" Grandpa Lu's voice boomed with great pride. "You didn't disappoint your beloved grandpa! Bahahaha!"
"Kyaaaaaaaaah!" The triplets Dom, Meimei and Clover couldn't hide their excitement.
Long Jinjing felt herself heating up as she watched Lu Zihao nearing her. He stopped directly in front of her and offered his hand.
"Come," he said.
With a racing heart, she laid her hand on top of his palm. He pulled her up. She pressed her face against his wide chest to hide her blushing face as everyone around them began clapping their hands and teasing the two of them.
"Congratulations Big Sister and Big Brother," Iris said when she reached them.
"T-thanks," Long Jinjing replied in a soft voice.
Lu Zihao only grunted.
Jin Liwei also arrived next to Iris. He nodded at Lu Zihao.
"Big Brother, it's time for you to put the garter up Big Sister's leg."
Long Jinjing looked a little panicked. "Must we really do that?"
Iris tilted her head to the side. "Of course."
"Let's go." Lu Zihao pulled Long Jinjing back to the centre where Yu Mo already placed a chair.
Yu Mo was still grumbling but Lu Zihao ignored him while Long Jinjing continued to hide her face behind the huge bouquet. She sat on the chair while Dom was giving directions for her and Lu Zihao to pose for some photos.
Afterwards, Lu Zihao knelt on one knee in front of her, causing her to blush even harder. The triplets Dom, Meimei and Clover were all squealing. The happiest, however, seemed to be Grandpa Lu whose booming laughter echoed in the room.
Long Jinjing was wearing a long, casual dress. Lu Zihao didn't hesitate to lift the hem and reveal her ankles and lower legs. However, he made sure to block the sight from the other men with his huge body.
Carefully, he slid the garter up her leg. His hand disappeared under the skirt of her dress as he slid the garter higher until it reached her thigh without allowing the others to see more of her bare skin.
She stiffened a little when he brushed his rough fingertips along the insides of her thighs, causing her to turn even redder than she already had. Despite this, his expression remained emotionless as always. She, however, detected the l.u.s.t in his eyes.
"How long are you going to keep your hand up in Jinjing's skirt, you naughty rascal?!" Grandpa Lu's booming voice teased. "Are you not going to remove it? Tell me, I want to know!"
"Nikolai, your hand," Long Jinjing begged Lu Zihao in a desperate whisper. She felt so embarrassed but there was also a sweet feeling building inside her chest upon noticing the intense look in his eyes.
Lu Zihao finally removed his hand from under her skirt, his movement very slow. He didn't give a damn about Grandpa Lu and the others teasing him and Long Jinjing. After that, he helped Long Jinjing up and held her hand, not letting her go even when she tried to pull her hand away.
The triplets Dom, Meimei and Clover began chanting.
"Kiss kiss kiss!!!"
Long Jinjing glared at them but before she could say anything, Lu Zihao already pulled her and kissed her on the lips in front of everyone.
