Chapter 910 He smiled

Yin Xincheng stood on the stage expressionlessly. Beside him, the host looked flustered and caught off guard, but he seemed to be frozen in place, motionless, like a statue.

At this moment, Yan Liang felt a mix of emotions, and even felt a surge of anger and embarrassment for Yin Xincheng.

This scene, no matter how it ends, will inevitably become a dark memory for Yin Xincheng for the rest of his life.

At his wedding, his wife was abducted by another man.

What's worse, Yin Xincheng isn't an ordinary person; he's a celebrity, a very famous one.

It's easy to imagine that this matter will spread.

If it's suppressed well, it'll probably be like what happened the night Wang Feng proposed to Zhang Ziyi—reported as a rumor, but confirmed to everyone's ears.

If not handled properly, it might make headlines in major media outlets, causing a huge uproar and becoming known throughout the country.

Bai Jin looked at Yan Liang helplessly.

At this moment, Yan Liang had no idea what he should do.

The man was finally pulled away.

But he kept shouting, "Lanlan, don't marry him! Lanlan!"

Huang Yunlan's face was so dark it was almost dripping with water.

But when she realized what was happening and looked up at the stage, her expression turned pitiful again.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

Inquisitive gazes filled the surroundings.

Yin Xincheng suddenly stepped down from the stage.

He came up to Huang Yunlan.

He asked, "Who was that person just now?"

Huang Yunlan's tears fell like pearls from a broken string, one after another.

"I'm sorry, he's my ex-boyfriend." She lowered her head and said, feeling wronged. "I didn't expect him to sneak in today."

Yin Xincheng lowered his head and gently wiped away the tears on Huang Yunlan's cheeks.

"It's okay, he's my ex-boyfriend, it's all in the past, let's not worry about him," Yin Xincheng said. "Let's continue."

Huang Yunlan still had tears in her eyes, but upon hearing Yin Xincheng's words, she actually managed a smile through her tears.

She nodded.

Everyone around heard it.

He's my ex-boyfriend.

Okay, it's nothing special.

Although this drama is a bit melodramatic, it's not really about being forced to marry by her ex-boyfriend or running away from the wedding. So, it can only be said that Huang Yunlan has a rather extreme ex-boyfriend who deeply loves her and is constantly pestering her.

At that moment, many people thought that Huang Yunlan was secretly two-timing and had been caught up with by her lover.

The wedding continued.

Yan Liang let out a long sigh of relief.

He and Bai Jin exchanged a glance, and both of them saw a sense of relief in each other's eyes.

Yin Xincheng took Huang Yunlan's hand and walked directly onto the stage.

The host had calmed down and began to smooth things over.

The two of them stood together on the stage and continued with the rest of the program.

-

"It startled me. I've seen so many scenes of wedding hijacking in movies and TV shows, but this is the first time I've ever seen it in real life."

“Who isn’t?” Yan Liang shook his head. “It feels like even with such a melodramatic plot as Friends, there’s never a scene of a bride being kidnapped.”

Bai Jin laughed and said, "But there is a scene about running away from a wedding. The first episode of the first season starts with running away from a wedding."

Yan Liang laughed heartily.

Bai Jingnian also said, "No wonder it's the wedding of the stars of 'Friends,' such a dramatic thing can happen."

Perhaps because there were so many people attending the wedding, they didn't follow the traditional custom of toasting each table individually.

There was a party after the wedding.

Compared to Western styles.

Everyone sang and danced together.

Yan Liang and Bai Jin were about to leave, but Yin Xincheng and Huang Yunlan stopped them.

"What just happened was terrible. I'm so sorry you had to see this." Huang Yunlan said apologetically.

Yan Liang and Bai Jin shook their heads, both indicating that this was just a minor incident and would not affect the happiness of the wedding.

Yin Xincheng said to them, "Why don't you stay and play with us? I didn't have a chance to chat with you earlier."

Yan Liang and Bai Jin had no choice but to stay.

A band was hired for the party.

The atmosphere at the scene was great.

Several celebrities were egged on and encouraged by the crowd to go on stage and sing.

Yan Liang and Bai Jin had been hiding in a corner, and seeing that everyone was looking for the next celebrity to sing on stage, they quickly hid in a room next door.

"That's a bit scary," Yan Liang said.

"Luckily we ran fast," Bai Jin said.

Yan Liang took out his phone, glanced at the time, and said, "It's about time we left."

Bai Jin nodded: "I think so too."

"Let's go then," Yan Liang said.

Bai Jin nodded as well.

The two reached a consensus and decided to slip away immediately.

Yin Xincheng suddenly called.

He asked, "Where are you? I'm coming to find you."

Yan Liang had no choice but to tell him where he was.

"I'm coming right away."

Yan Liang hung up the phone and said to Bai Jin, "Yin Xincheng said he's coming to find us now."

Bai Jin: "Alright, we can only continue to wait here."

The room they were in was probably a temporary room, and it was completely empty, with only a long sofa and a coffee table.

The two of them sat on the sofa, chatting about trivial matters. After a while, Yin Xincheng arrived.

Yan Liang and Bai Jin thought he was just coming over for a casual chat, but when Yin Xincheng came in, he was pale and bloodless, a stark contrast to his happy appearance on stage just now.

"What's wrong?" Yan Liang asked immediately.

Bai Jin looked at him with concern.

Yin Xincheng rubbed his face, looked up at them, hesitated for a long time, and then said, "I don't want to get married anymore, what should I do?"

Yan Liang and Bai Jin stared at him, speechless for a moment, unable to utter a single word.

Yan Liang even momentarily lost his focus—

Bai Jin's words came true so quickly?

Yin Xincheng sat down dejectedly, covering his face.

“Actually, when Huang Yunlan’s ex-boyfriend came over and stopped her to take her away, I suddenly realized that I didn’t want to marry her. I even felt a sense of relief. I suddenly realized that I was only forced to marry her because she was pregnant.”

“Yin Xincheng, this is unavoidable, and it’s also your responsibility,” Yan Liang said, frowning. “Besides, you’re already married. It’s too late for you to not want to get married now.”

A look of despair appeared on Yin Xincheng's face.

Bai Jin sighed deeply.

“Today is your wedding, you can’t be so willful. Whatever it is, we can talk about it after today,” Bai Jin said. “Even if you wanted to do it yesterday, it would have been fine, but not today.”

Yin Xincheng opened his mouth, as if to say something, but then stopped himself.

He stood up again.

"I didn't expect you to say that too."

"What do you think we'll say?" Yan Liang asked.

“I thought you would support me and let me follow my own ideas.”

“We do support you in following your own ideas, but you can’t just do whatever you want.” Yan Liang’s tone was very serious. “You can make many decisions in the future, but now—you’ve already registered your marriage, right? Today you and Huang Yunlan are just having a wedding ceremony. In reality, you’re already husband and wife in fact.”

These words seemed to strike the deepest, most painful spot in Yin Xincheng's heart.

He left without saying a word, looking completely lost and dejected.

Upon seeing this scene, Yan Liang and Bai Jin found themselves unable to leave immediately.

Bai Jin asked, "What should we do?"

Yan Liang sighed.

"I'll go find him."

"Then I'll go with you." Bai Jin said helplessly, "Why does he still seem so immature, like a child?"

-

Yan Liang and Bai Jin left the room to find Yin Xincheng.

Even though there was only a one-minute time difference, they couldn't find Yin Xincheng anywhere.

I don't know where he went.

Yan Liang called Yin Xincheng, but Yin Xincheng didn't answer.

Bai Jin: "He didn't really run away, did he?"

Yan Liang asked, "Do you have his assistant's phone number?"

Bai Jin shook his head.

Yan Liang: "If Yin Xincheng really runs away, it will be even bigger news than Huang Yunlan's ex-boyfriend causing trouble."

Bai Jin sighed deeply.

“Let’s split up and search,” Bai Jin said. “I don’t believe Yin Xincheng would be so irresponsible as to abandon so many people and run away. He’s probably hiding somewhere, just like we were just now. Let’s search those deserted corners too.”

Yan Liang nodded.

They split up and acted separately.

However, this hotel is really quite large.

Yan Liang first asked the hotel staff if Yin Xincheng had asked them for a room key. After confirming that he hadn't, he then asked the hotel staff which areas were open to the public and which areas were off-limits to others.

After obtaining this information, he sent it to Bai Jin simultaneously.

I'm about to run my legs off.

We dare not involve others in the search, otherwise they will also know that Yin Xincheng is missing.

Yan Liang arrived at the fifth floor of the hotel and walked around the corridor. He saw a security camera at the stairwell at the end of the corridor and suddenly thought that he could find an excuse to ask the hotel to help him check the security footage and see where Yin Xincheng had run off to.

He quickly prepared to go downstairs to find hotel staff.

Just then, he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from behind the fire escape door.

"...I've already made it clear to you. Wait for me for two years, and I will definitely divorce him. Then I can get a large sum of compensation and share his property. We won't have to worry about money no matter where we go. Why don't you believe me?!"

Yan Liang stopped in his tracks.

Perhaps because he's been an entertainer for so long, he didn't even have time to process this sudden situation before he pulled out his phone and started recording.

He had forgotten when he developed this habit.

"...Yin Xincheng finally believed me, so don't cause any more trouble. Don't show up for the next two years, understand? I'm doing all this for our future, so don't be stupid!"

"How many months pregnant are you? You'll know once the baby is born. It's yours, not his. How many times do I have to tell you before you believe me? Can you even trust me?!"

Yan Liang stood silently on this side of the door, listening to the sounds coming from the other side, his heart pounding.

Then, Yan Liang's phone suddenly rang.

His phone was not on silent.

His pupils dilated suddenly.

It was quiet on the other side of the door too.

Yan Liang hung up the phone immediately.

For just a second his mind went blank. The next second, without even realizing it, he unbuckled his belt, pulled it off, and used it to tie a knot firmly around the left and right handles of the fire escape door.

The door was pulled hard from the inside, but it could not be opened.

The people inside started pulling and tugging frantically.

Yan Liang turned around and went to the elevator door, pressing the down button.

He waited until the elevator arrived at this floor, then stepped inside. He listened as the increasingly intense, frantic shaking and pulling of the door handle was blocked by the elevator doors, and then disappeared completely as the elevator descended.

He went back to the first floor.

Outside the elevator, Yin Xincheng, who had been missing for a long time, reappeared.

He looked at Yan Liang and said, "You're right, this is a responsibility I should take on."

Yan Liang looked at Yin Xincheng like this and didn't know what to say for a moment.

He took a deep breath, about to speak.

"Yan Liang, Xincheng!" At this moment, Bai Jin came over.

She looked at Yin Xincheng, somewhat annoyed, and said, "Where have you been? We've been looking for you the whole time, and I've even got blisters on my feet!"

Yin Xincheng said apologetically, "I'm sorry."

Yan Liang: "Xincheng, come with me, I have something to tell you."

The elevator dinged, and the elevator next door suddenly came down, arriving at the first floor.

Huang Yunlan came out from inside.

She looked flustered and saw Yan Liang, Bai Jin, and Yin Xincheng standing together at the elevator entrance. She was clearly stunned and somewhat taken aback.

Yan Liang, Bai Jin, and Yin Xincheng also looked at her.

The three people had completely different gazes.

Only Yan Liang's eyes revealed his undisguised hostility towards her.

Huang Yunlan's face trembled.

The next second, she regained her composure.

Or rather, she regained her composure for a moment, after which her body began to tremble.

She walked up to Yan Liang, her whole body trembling even more violently.

Her eyes turned bright red within just a few steps.

"New City—"

Tears welled up in her eyes.

Strangely, Yan Liang didn't know why, but the moment he saw her tears streaming down her face, he seemed to become a prophet, suddenly understanding what she was going to do and say next.

“Xincheng, he, he just—” Huang Yunlan’s hand trembled as she pointed at Yan Liang, “He just tried to kiss me forcibly.”

Yan Liang felt unusually at ease at that moment.

He smiled.
