The guests present were all shrewd and experienced people who had worked their way up in the world. A few of them guessed the truth, but none of them dared to say it.

Seeing that the groom had become the target of public criticism.

Ye Yun looked at Qin Zheng beside her. Qin Zheng's brows furrowed slightly, and he also had a slight urge to step forward.

Cai Manni remained silent.

Facing the groom's gaze, she remained calm and ruthless, intending to wear him down with the unbearable stares of the crowd, hoping to make him back down.

Perhaps her gaze was too cold, for a hint of disappointment appeared in the groom's eyes as he shook his head and said, "Manny, we are already married. We are husband and wife. We just made our vows in front of the priest. You should believe me."

"couple?"

Upon hearing this word, Cai Manni smiled.

She glanced at the groom's disheveled trousers and shirt, a cold smile playing on her lips, and said in a detached tone, "We haven't even had a wedding ceremony or registered our marriage, so what kind of couple are we?"

Under the groom's incredulous gaze, she raised her hand and gently removed the ring from her finger.

"I forgot to tell you, I don't like Western-style weddings. I prefer traditional Chinese weddings, where the bride wears a wedding gown instead of a wedding dress, and the couple bows to each other instead of exchanging vows to God. The whole room is filled with festive red. That's the kind of wedding that Chinese people should have. It's a pity you've never asked for my opinion."

She was also wearing white lace gloves.

The ring was a little cramped between the fabric, but she took it off effortlessly and gently placed it in the groom's breast pocket.

Qin Zheng turned to look at Ye Yun again.

Ye Yun silently hugged his arm.

Good heavens, her damned patriotism! Just because of Cai Manni's words, she didn't even want to go and help that poor groom!
