Synopsis: [Completed, a total of four worlds.]
Fu Li has always lived by the principle: "Rather I betray the world than the world betray me."
Until he was sent to the Cosmic Ref...
Chapter 109 You're Not My Husband?! (20) "Ah Li, he..."
The parents of Lorze were the most shocked when the wedding date was announced.
The two rushed back to the Luo family home, where Luo's mother angrily told Luo Ze, "It would be fine if you just played around with him, but canceling the engagement with the Vili family is going too far!"
Mr. Luo frowned, his gaze sharp: "Your mother is right. Aze, I was originally at ease entrusting the Luo family to you. But what you've done is completely damaging the family's interests, and we absolutely cannot allow you to act so recklessly!"
Despite his parents' strong opposition, Luo Ze remained calm and composed.
"I have thought this through carefully, whether it's breaking off the engagement or marrying Ali, and I will never change my mind."
Mother Luo sneered, "Aze, have you forgotten that Fu Li is your brother's man, yet you want to marry him? Have you considered any moral principles or ethics in what you're doing?"
Upon hearing Luo Ran's name, Luo Ze remained remarkably calm, even displaying a hint of disdain.
He stood up, walked to the sunlit windowsill, his gaze sweeping over an oil painting Fu Li had bought, his voice cool and indifferent:
“You taught me from a young age that the family tradition is winner-takes-all and the victor is king. Now, the entire Luo family is under my control. Even if I want Luo Ran’s Beta, what can he use to compete with me? Even if you two object, you can’t stop me.”
“Fu Li will never know the truth. As for Father and Mother, you don’t need to come back from today onwards. I’m afraid you’ll make Ali uncomfortable.”
With a haughty smile, Luo Ze made his decision in a few words, decisively instructing his guests to be seen off.
Although Luo's father is the nominal head of the family, his power has long been usurped by Luo Ze. Now, Luo Ze is the true person in charge of the Luo family. Just as he said, even if he insists on doing something, no one can stop him!
Luo's mother said angrily, "I...I think you've really gone mad!"
Luo Ze's face was shrouded in shadow, the daylight casting a dark outline on his back. He stood there, like a noble and proud aristocrat, yet his demeanor revealed a calm, ruthless, and capable air.
Amidst a chorus of curses and shouts, Mr. and Mrs. Luo were escorted out, and the large house returned to tranquility once more.
The butler returned and said respectfully, "Young Master, the Master and Madam have already left. Mr. Fu has already chosen the style of his wedding dress and is waiting for you to come and take a look."
Upon hearing this, Luo Ze smiled tenderly, brushed off imaginary dust from his clothes, and said, "Let's go find Ali."
Ten days later, at Beijing Capital International Airport.
A person wearing a baseball cap and completely covered up walked out through a secluded door.
He hadn't set foot on this land for a long time. This journey was far more tortuous and lengthy than he had initially imagined.
Fortunately, he finally shook off his pursuers. Counting the time, it had been about a year since he last returned. He wondered how worried his lover was, so even knowing the risk of being exposed, he decided to go find Ali first.
Two tall figures approached. The man, a seasoned veteran of countless chases, instinctively prepared to flee, but his heart pounded with anxiety—how could he have been discovered so soon after landing?!
However, at that moment, one of them shouted, "Young Master Luo Ran, I have something very important to tell you, and it concerns Mr. Fu Li!"
Upon hearing that name, Luo Ran suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Upon recognizing the newcomers, he frowned: "You are not He Neng's people?"
One of them, who had appeared in the Luo family's bodyguard team before, panted heavily before saying, "Yes, it was Madam who sent us. Your lover, Young Master Fu Li, is about to marry your brother."
Luo Ran's pupils constricted sharply, as if he had misheard: "What did you say?!"

Nanling Mountain Villa, wedding scene.
The resort covers a very large area, with beautiful scenery and luxurious architecture. It often serves prominent figures in the capital and is a popular venue for vacations and weddings.
A magnificent and tall church has been built on the seaside side of the villa, where the wedding of the head of the Luo family is currently taking place.
To show his respect for Fu Li, Luo Ze invited everyone he knew in the capital, including the entire upper class.
As the newlyweds, dressed in Western-style wedding attire, stood before the altar, the noblemen below whispered among themselves.
"I never expected that Aze would break off his engagement with Lilith and choose a powerless Beta."
"I heard they've even gotten their marriage certificate. Judging from the scale of today's wedding, it doesn't seem like it was a sham."
“We met him at the Luo family’s house before, and we said that if he really ended up with that Beta, he must be out of his mind. And it actually happened.”
"That Beta married into the Luo family. It seems there will be big changes in the industry from now on."
Just as the guests were discussing or reminiscing, the ceremony was about to end.
Outside the church, Lin Xi and all the Luo family's bodyguards stood guard. To ensure nothing went wrong today, Luo Ze had given a strict order: no one was allowed to enter during the wedding, and they were especially to watch for Luo Ran among them.
Ten days ago, Luo Ran escaped the Luo family's surveillance; perhaps he has already returned to the country. Once he sets foot in the capital, he will surely hear the news that Fu Li is getting married.
This is the biggest destabilizing factor, and Loze has to be wary of it.
At the same time, a discreet luxury car pulled up outside the villa gate.
When the security guard at the entrance asked, the person in the car handed over an invitation and smiled, saying, "We're here to attend a wedding."
After the inspection was completed, the security guards let them through. The car sped in like a ghost and headed straight for the church.
He, in the driver's seat, reassured the person next to him, "Don't worry, we'll definitely make it."
Alpha, sitting in the passenger seat wearing a baseball cap, bit his lower lip tightly, his eyes sharp as knives, urgent and worried.
"I absolutely cannot let Ali be deceived by him like this!"
Two minutes later, the car came to a smooth stop outside the church, and the priest's booming voice could be heard from inside as he recited a blessing.
Luo Ran lowered her head and followed He Neng, walking quickly forward. At the gate, Lin Xi reached out and stopped the two of them.
He was able to show the invitation, his forehead was sweating, but his face remained calm as he said, "We are here to attend President Luo's wedding, but we are a little late."
Alpha's sharp gaze swept over his shoulder and landed on the person following behind. His eyes paused when he recognized the Luo family member's soft, slightly wavy hair and the deep, distinctive contours of his chin.
Luo Ran felt both panicked and anxious. He heard that the wedding was about to proceed to the exchange of vows, and if he missed today, it would be virtually impossible to sneak back into the Luo family and find Fu Li to tell him the truth.
He absolutely could not accept watching his beloved, whom he longed for so deeply, be unknowingly deceived by his brother and marry him.
But the area around them was filled with people arranged by Luo Ze. If they couldn't get past this barrier, forcing their way in would be difficult...
Loze's order was that once the wedding began, no one was allowed to enter, regardless of who they were.
Lin Xi silently glanced at Luo Ran again. The bodyguards on the other side saw what was happening and were about to come over to help him carry out President Luo's order to stop them when the captain calmly said, "They have invitations. Let them in."
"But……"
"They are guests here, let them in!" Lin Xi said in a deep voice.
He was the captain of the security team and Luo Ze's personal bodyguard, so no one else dared to disobey and could only open the door as instructed.
Luo Ran strode inside, walking through the long corridor, her heart pounding like a drum.
Inside the church, Fu Li and Luo Ze stood facing each other on the high platform, while a priest dressed in pastoral robes recited vows before the altar.
This is the final step in the wedding ceremony.
"Mr. Luo Ze, are you willing to become Mr. Fu Li's partner, and no matter what changes may occur in the future, will you never leave him and stay by his side?"
Before exchanging vows, Loze sought out the priest and altered the content of the vows.
At that moment, he looked at the person opposite him who was smiling and gazing at him with happiness like a flower in bloom, and he also smiled back.
"I do."
Alpha's clear voice reached the doorway, causing Luo Ran, who was about to enter the hall, to pause and quicken his pace.
"Mr. Fu Li, are you willing to become Mr. Luo Ze's partner, and no matter what changes may occur in the future, will you never leave him and will stay by his side for all eternity?"
Beta's eyes reflected the man's gentle, jade-like face, and she smiled deeply, her light eyes saying, "I..."
"I disagree!"
With a loud crash, the hall door was pushed open, and a dashing, handsome figure strode in. He quickly walked across the bench, removed his face mask, and revealed his true face.
His handsome, deep-set eyes shimmered with a watery luster, and his gaze was urgent. He moved with lightning speed, staring at the stunned young man on the stage, his expression and posture unchanged.
He shouted loudly:
"Ah Li, he lied to you! I am Luo Ran!"
He cried out urgently, "Do you remember that day at the airport when you came to me? I took you to a bar in the city, to an art gallery, and to our home in Dali City! Ali, you've been deceived by Luo Ze, he's not me!"
Beta stared in disbelief at the increasingly familiar figure approaching. Her gaze then shifted to the man's face opposite her, revealing two identical faces, with no difference even in facial features or the small mole at the corner of his eye.
When Luo Ran appeared, after the initial shock, the Alpha's face on the stage instantly darkened.
He gave a wink to the bodyguards nearby, and immediately two men in black rushed forward and stopped Luo Ran.
However, Luo Ran was also quite skilled, managing to break free from the bodyguards' restraints and quickly approach the altar.
That resolute posture was like that of a knight who, knowing that the road ahead was a dead end, still chose to forge ahead in order to rescue his lover who was trapped in a trap.
Finally, just a step away from the altar, more bodyguards rushed in and pinned him to the ground. Luo Ran looked at Fu Li with sorrow in his eyes, but before he could say anything more, his mouth was covered and he was dragged away while struggling.
Luo Ran's appearance shattered the original atmosphere of the wedding. The guests stared wide-eyed, exchanging bewildered glances, but dared not utter a word.
On the stage, Luo Ze looked at Fu Li again.
The situation has taken the worst and most uncontrollable turn, which is exactly what Loze least wanted to see.
Heaven knows how he suppressed those crazy, gloomy, murderous emotions. His eyes were as deep as an abyss, and his heart pounded violently in his chest, as if pounding on the last string that had not yet snapped.
A soft voice, accompanied by a smile, urged:
“Those were sent by someone else to cause trouble. Ah Li will only believe me, right?”
"The oath hasn't been finished yet, let's continue."
However, Fu Li's gaze gradually became unfocused.
Ever since Luo Ran appeared, the system has been issuing alarms uncontrollably:
[Warning, warning, an unknown error has been detected.]
[Warning, unknown error! Unknown error!]
[Unknown error!!!]
As the error message grew louder, a sharp, piercing scream echoed in his mind, like a computer crashing due to overload. A sharp pain followed, and before Fu Li could even process what was happening, everything went black, and he collapsed backward, completely losing consciousness.
