Chapter 1078 Tests Of Love
The first question was so easy it felt like a piece of cake! Sheffield quickly answered, "Evelyn''s favorite
snack is preserved plums, her favorite fruit is mango, and among desserts, she loves Tiramisu the
most. Is my answer good enough? If not, I can continue."
Just a simple response with the answer "preserved plums" would have been enough for the
bridesmaids, who didn''t expect him to list out so many things.
Libby raised her hand and nodded. "That''s enough. Next question, please recite the bride''s phone
number backwards."

Sheffield was gifted with sharp memory and as such, he was able to recite Evelyn''s number backwards
ever since she gave him her number. He knew he was going to glide through these questions with
ease. Under everyone''s baffled gaze, he answered the question easily, and added, "This is no fun. Can
you please ask some harder questions?"
Joshua couldn''t help but ask, "Dude, did you take a peep at the questions in advance?"
One of the bridesmaids exined, "I''m certain that he didn''t. We came up with these questions just this
morning. Since the groom came with you, there is no way he could have known these questions
earlier."
"All right, I''ll take your word for it!" Joshua said. Then he turned to face Sheffield, giving him a thumbs
up, and said, "Nicely done, man!"
The bridesmaids continued with their interrogation. "Next question: what''s the size of the bride''s
shoes?"
"36."
"What are the ten nicknames of the bride?"
"Eve, Evelyn, darling, Piggy, honey, my queen..." The room broke into a smattering ofughter, not to
mention the bridesmaids who all guffawed loudly.
"Thest question. What''s the total sum of the bride''s ID card number?"
"That''s too hard! How can anyone expect him to know that?" the best men eximed in unison.
"I bet Sheffield doesn''t know the answer!"
"Gifford, you''re the strongest among us three. Go pick one of the bridesmaids and carry her on your
back around the room three times."
Everyone was ready to make fun of Sheffield, yet in less than two seconds, he gave the correct answer
with a mysterious smile at Evelyn. "76," he said.
Two years ago, he found out what Evelyn''s ID card number was when they had nned to go to
France. While he was waiting for her at the airport, out of sheer boredom, he had written his and
Evelyn''s names down on a piece of paper.
Then, he added up the numbers of their ID cards respectively. In the end, after doing the math,
Sheffield concluded that he and Evelyn were a perfect match. The total of her ID card numbers was
exactly the same as his—76!
The group of bridesmaids, upon hearing the answer, screamed out loud, "Mr. Tang, you are so
amazing!"
"True love! It is true love!"
The emcee immediately asked the groom to take two steps towards Evelyn. "Mr. Tang is an exemry
suitor. He has passed the first test. Now, onto the next one."
As one of bridesmaids took out a lipstick and a blindfold, she announced, "We''re going to y a game.
One of the groomsmen will have to apply lipstick on the groom''s lips, blindfolded!" "What?" Astonished
gasps flew across the room as the groomsmen and even Sheffield himself reeled back in shock.
The bridesmaids'' amusement to see the astonished look on the men''s faces was evident by their
giggling. Without further dy, they insisted, "Please pick someone from your group to y the game."
Five of the guys all turned their sights towards the sixth, who, incidentally, had his eyes set on Joshua.
Gifford noticed the awkward silence and the weight of all the eyes on him. "Why is everyone looking at
me like that? Guys, I''ve never even touched a lipstick before."
Gifford wasn''t lying. The man didn''t have a girlfriend and his knowledge on cosmetics was, in fact, non-
existent.
The other groomsmenughed and Joshua stepped forward hoping to change Gifford''s mind. "No one
here is more suited for this game than you. I''ve seen you shoot urately with eyes covered, don''t
deny it!"
Gifford looked at Sheffield with pity, but when he realized that it was Sheffield who would be wearing
the lipstick and not him, he reluctantly said, "Fine! I will do it! Give me the lipstick."
Sheffield tried to hide his apprehension behind a smile. "Can we use a transparent one?"
Unfortunately, the bridesmaids weren''t going to let such a rare opportunity slip by so easily. "Don''t
worry. We have makeup artists here with us. Rest assured, you will look as handsome as ever after the
game."
Gifford clumsily twisted the tube, revealing a red lipstick and held it between his teeth while a
bridesmaid tied the blindfold around his head.
Sheffield knew that it was toote to slither out of the game, so he said to Gifford resignedly, "Dude, I''m
not expecting you to get it right, but please try to get it over with as soon as possible." The faster this
was all over, the faster he could marry the love of his life.
"Don''t worry, buddy," Giffordforted him inartictely.
While the crowd giggled and snickered amongst themselves, Gifford slowly approached Sheffield.
With a disgusted look on his face, Sheffield looked at the man apprehensively as the lipstick grew
closer and closer to him. Gifford didn''t have to stand on his toes or crouch since they were roughly of
the same height. The only problem was that the lipstick was slightly nted. "I know that this isn''t the
right time to be joking about this, but you look just like your little friend because of that lipstick sticking
out of your mouth," Sheffield teased.
"What are you even talking about?" Gifford was confused.
"Your dog."
"Hahaha..." A roar ofughter shot through the room.
Gifford gritted his teeth angrily, cursing in his heart, ''How dare hepare me to a dog! I''ll paint his
face into a picture!''
When the lipsticknded on the corner of Sheffield''s mouth, Libby suddenly reminded them, "I forgot to
tell you that if the work isn''t good enough, the groom and his entourage will have to do 20 push-ups."
"No way!" the men wailed.
Joshua grabbed Gifford''s arm before he could continue. "Man, did you hear that? 20 push-ups! Please
do your best to make Sheffield look pretty. For our sake!"
Gifford grumbled incoherently, gesturing with his hands that it was just 20 push-ups, not 200; why was
Joshua making such a fuss?
As the distance between him and Gifford shortened, Sheffield could feel Gifford''s warm breath on his
face. He started to feel very ufortable. In fact, he was afraid that he wouldn''t be able to keep
himself from kicking Gifford away from him.
The lipstick streaked across his lips. There were times when both men almost kissed in the middle,
sending the audience wailing with excitement.
In the end, Sheffield''s lips looked like fat sausages and there was even a shade of red under his nose.
Sheffield pushed Gifford away furiously and said, "Find a woman to practice your skills on as soon as
you go back home."
Then, instead of whining, Sheffieldy prostrate with his groomsmen in a row tomence with the
punishment.
Fortunately, the groomsmen were regrs at the gym and as such, 20 push-ups felt almost effortless
to them.
The bridesmaids kept their word and helped Sheffield clean up before they yed two more games.
After a long dreaded wait, the groom finally approached the bride.
He took the bouquet of flowers from Joshua and affectionately said, "Evelyn, I''m here to take your hand
in marriage."
The emcee of the ceremonies remarked, "Don''t just talk. Just kneel down and hand over the flowers to
the bride."
Thud! Sheffield immediately knelt down on the carpet beside the bed.
Almost in response, an explosion ofughter shook the room, because Sheffield had gone on both
knees.
The emcee reminded the groom helplessly, "Hey, Mr. Tang, you''re only supposed to get down on one
knee!"
Sheffield feignedughter and said, "I''m sorry. I was just excited to see my wife."
Evelyn was so moved by his words that she almost failed to hold back her tears. This man was getting
increasingly adorable.
He handed her the bouquet and cleared his throat before saying, "Evelyn Huo, you are the only woman
I wish to spend the rest of my life with. Please, marry me."
