Chapter 43: Wedding

As the ceremonial music sounded, the servants of the Qiu family became busy and cheerful. Ye Zhihan and the soon-to-be-married daughter-in-law of the Qiu family went to the main hall to pay their respects.

Because the bride was covered with a red veil, Mingluo couldn't see her appearance. Looking at her figure, she seemed a little too thin, even thinner than Wutong visually.

Mingluo narrowed his eyes again and looked into the main hall, only to see Ye Zhihan standing in front of the two elders of the Qiu family in a bright red wedding dress, looking like a pine or cypress. His whole body exuded a coldness and solemnity that was incompatible with the festive atmosphere.

"Bow to Heaven and Earth——"

Ye Zhihan looked straight ahead, busy performing the ritual of worshipping heaven and earth.

"Two bows to the parents—"

Ye Zhihan stood there blankly, without any intention of bowing.

"You evil beast, why don't you pay your respects quickly?!" Old Master Qiu scolded in a low voice, fearing that the guests drinking at the wedding banquet outside the main hall would hear it.

But Ye Zhihan is not Mr. Qiu himself. He doesn't know where he came from or where his parents are. He has been traveling the world alone for a hundred years. So at the wedding banquet, he kowtowed to heaven and earth, but he did not want to pay his respects to the two elders of the Qiu family who had no relatives with him.

"My son, please pay your respects quickly!" Mother Qiu, who was sitting nearby, tried to persuade him kindly.

The two elders of the Qiu family never understood why their only son fell in love with the eldest daughter of the Meng family like a demon. Such an unequal love was not only marrying up for them, but also posed a life-threatening risk to the family. Therefore, they had always firmly opposed their son's relationship with the eldest daughter of the Meng family.

But their son was like a piece of wood, determined not to marry the eldest daughter of the Meng family. Just when the two elders were at a loss as to what to do with Mr. Qiu, he suddenly let go of this relationship and decided to marry another girl. After considering it, Mother Qiu happily agreed to the marriage. She and Old Man Qiu felt that their son had finally come to his senses.

Now, their son's resistance in the wedding hall suddenly made the two elders feel cold in their hearts, and they had a bad premonition.

Ming Luo seized the opportunity and rushed to the door of the main hall in an arrogant manner. She looked at everyone in the room with an extremely aggressive gaze, and finally her gaze fell on Ye Zhihan. She raised her eyebrows, her eyes were cunning, and she jumped to Ye Zhihan's side.

Because Miss Meng had made preparations for the bride-kidnapping in advance, she wore a red dress inside today, which was extremely disrespectful to the host family of the wedding. Now she rushed into the hall with high spirits, which shocked everyone. The two elders of the Qiu family cried out in their hearts that something was wrong, but due to the disparity in status and power, they did not dare to take any action.

Everyone knows that Miss Meng is beautiful and has a hot-tempered personality. Now it seems that she is indeed such a person. The red dress makes her the protagonist of today.

Having been used to seeing the well-behaved and cute Ming Luo, Ye Zhihan felt a strange feeling in his heart when he saw the arrogant and domineering Ming Luo. This was the girl he had protected, but there was actually a new face like this that he didn't know.

Since it's about kidnapping a bride, the more domineering the better.

Ming Luo mobilized the true energy in this body, cut the big red silk between Ye Zhihan and the bride with a sword, and then turned around and slashed the big wedding character on the wall into pieces with a sword.

"This person belongs to me!" After saying that, Mingluo took Ye Zhihan's hand and flew out. Ye Zhihan also cooperated very well and followed Mingluo out of the bridal chamber.

When running into the courtyard, Mingluo did not forget to pick up the little maid Wutong. The three of them left the Qiu Mansion in full view of everyone.

When they reached a beautiful flower field, Mingluo stopped when she saw no one was following them. She was secretly delighted. She had never expected the bride-stealing process to be so smooth. This was the most outrageous thing she had ever done in her life.

Seeing that the eldest lady had successfully snatched the bride, Wutong changed her previous timid and tearful demeanor and said with great joy, "Congratulations to the eldest lady and Mr. Qiu for reconciling!"

After saying this, Wutong excitedly took Mingluo and Ye Zhihan's hands, put their hands together, and said, "I think the scenery here is just right. Why don't you marry Mr. Qiu here? I am willing to use my life as your witness!"

Mingluo was puzzled. Ever since she succeeded in kidnapping the bride, Wutong seemed to have changed her personality. It seemed that she was very supportive of her eldest daughter's cross-class love affair.

If Mingluo was really Miss Meng, she would probably marry Mr. Qiu right away. But the key point is that Mingluo is not the eldest daughter of the Meng family. She has never even been in love, so how can she get married?

What's more, the person she is going to marry is Mr. Qiu, played by Ye Zhihan. In the final analysis, it is still Ye Zhihan himself. How could such an outstanding and handsome man marry a weak rookie from another world?

Even if it's acting, it's not appropriate. It would be bad if the boss dislikes it.

After some ideological struggle, Mingluo came to the conclusion: she could not get married.

Mingluo tried to pull her hand back from Wutong, but what surprised her was that Wutong, who looked skinny, had very strong strength in his hands. She tried several times but couldn't pull her hand back.

Wutong looked at Mingluo with a smile, tears of joy still gleaming in his eyes, and said, "Miss, you have finally won Mr. Qiu back. You must not let him go this time!"

Mingluo always felt that something was strange, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

In fact, Ye Zhihan had thought a lot during this time. He quickly reviewed every detail of his time with Ming Luo, and his memory finally froze on the scene when they came ashore from the sea. At that time, Ming Luo's neon skirt suddenly disappeared into her skin, and a beautiful picture of a girl appeared in front of him, so he should be responsible for Ming Luo.

Thinking of Mingluo's care and concern for him, Ye Zhihan couldn't help but feel that it would be nice to marry such a young wife. Although he also felt that the current situation was very strange, he didn't mind continuing this drama of stealing the bride.

"She's right." Ye Zhihan met Ming Luo's slightly anxious eyes, and whispered softly into Ming Luo's ear, "After we finish the show, we can find the center of the formation and escape from the illusion."

In fact, when Ye Zhihan just "became" Master Qiu, he began to suspect that everything in front of him was an illusion, so he searched the Qiu Mansion to try to find the eye of the formation, but strangely, the eye of the formation was not inside the Qiu Mansion, so he decided to live according to Master Qiu's normal life trajectory first, so that he could find out who Master Qiu was closest to. Maybe he could find the eye of the formation by being next to another person, and after breaking the eye of the formation, he could leave the illusion.

When seeing Mingluo become Mr. Qiu's closest lover, Ye Zhihan was certain that the core of the formation must be next to Mingluo, so what they should do now is to finish the show and let Mr. Qiu fulfill his wish.

"Are you sure we two want to get married?" Ming Luo asked Ye Zhihan's opinion.

"Yeah." Ye Zhihan nodded slightly.

"Are you really sure?!" Ming Luo asked Ye Zhihan's opinion again.

"Really." Ye Zhihan nodded again.
