Chapter 402 Wedding Farce

"But, but the dream was too real." Ji Wan's voice was still trembling, and fear enveloped her like a tide. "He said that at the wedding, he would take revenge on us..."

There are only three days left until their wedding.

The nightmare at this critical juncture undoubtedly magnified the uneasiness that had been lurking deep in her heart.

Chi Lin is like a time bomb. I will never be at peace until it is removed.

Chi Wenyan held her face in his hands, and in the faint moonlight, he could clearly see the fear and tears in her eyes.

He kissed away the moisture from the corners of her eyes distressedly, his tone firm and unquestionable: "Wanwan, look at me."

Ji Wan raised her tearful eyes and met his deep and determined black eyes.

"Chi Lin fled abroad, and my people followed him."

Every word Chi Wenyan said reached her ears clearly.

"He won't be around for a few days. I've already issued an order. Once his exact location is found, he will be brought back to the country at all costs and made to face legal consequences for what he has done. He has no chance, let alone the ability, to ruin our wedding."

His voice was like a stabilizing force, steady and powerful, dispelling the fear in her heart.

"He is now nothing more than a stray dog, living in constant fear. You are my wife, Chi Wenyan. If anyone dares to touch a hair on your head, I will tear him to pieces."

He lowered his head and rested his forehead against hers, his warm breath brushing against her cheek.

"Trust me, huh?"

Ji Wan stared into his eyes, and the seriousness and tenderness in them gradually dispelled the haze in her heart.

She knew that Chi Wenyan always kept his word. He had always been like that. He was strong and reliable, a safe haven that she could completely rely on.

She sniffed, trying to force a smile, her voice still a little hoarse: "I believe you."

Chi Wenyan then relaxed his brows slightly, gently stroking her cheek with his fingertips, and asked gently, "Are you still scared?"

Ji Wan shook her head and leaned closer to his arms, feeling his warm body temperature and reassuring breath, and whispered, "Much better...but, when I think of him, I still feel a little scared."

She paused, as if searching for the right words, "Disgusting."

Chi Wenyan's eyes darkened, and he hugged her tightly, his tone carrying a barely perceptible ruthlessness: "He won't have another chance to disgust you. I will take care of everything. I won't let him appear in front of you again, and I won't let him affect our wedding, or affect you."

"Wen Yan..." Ji Wan raised his head and looked at his angular profile. A warm feeling surged in his heart, and the previous fear and uneasiness seemed to have dissipated for the most part.

She took the initiative to reach out, put her arms around his waist, and rested her cheek on his chest, feeling his strong heartbeat.

"Don't think about irrelevant people."

Chi Wenyan stroked her back gently, his voice low and gentle.

"Right now, the most important thing is to get some rest. We still have a lot to do tomorrow, our wedding, and there are still many details that need to be finalized by my bride herself."

His words were accompanied by a lighthearted smile, successfully diverting Ji Wan's attention.

Wedding...yes, there is a wedding.

That was her wedding with Wen Yan, the beginning of their happiness. They couldn't let a scumbag like Chi Lin ruin this beauty.

Ji Wan took a deep breath, suppressed all the unpleasant nightmares and fears in his heart, raised his head, and gave Chi Wenyan a real smile, with light shining in his eyes again.

"Yes. I want to personally choose every flower, every candy, and even my wedding dress."

When talking about wedding dresses, her eyes sparkled and her cheeks were filled with obvious joy.

Chi Wenyan looked at her renewed spirit, the tenderness in his eyes became even stronger, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a doting arc: "Okay, I'll listen to you. Whatever wedding my bride wants, I will give you."

He lowered his head, kissed her forehead, and whispered, "Now, go to sleep. I'll take care of everything."

Ji Wan nodded, found a comfortable position in his arms, and closed her eyes.

Chi Wenyan's embrace was warm and safe, his promise was firm and powerful, and the shadows brought by the nightmares seemed to be really dissipating little by little.

There was only a reassuring smell left in the air, which was the smell of Chi Wenyan and also the smell of future happiness.

In the following days, Ji Wan devoted himself to the preparations for the wedding.

Chi Wenyan did what he said and isolated all interference, creating an absolutely safe and sweet environment for her.

She and Chi Wenyan went out together, choosing wedding dresses, customizing rings, and agreeing on the guest list. Every detail was filled with love and expectation.

Their loving appearance frequently appeared on the pages of major media, making them the envied couple of gods and goddesses in the entire Yuncheng. Their wedding of the century attracted great attention from all the people.

On the wedding day, the weather was nice and the sun was shining.

Top makeup artists and stylists surrounded Ji Wan, dressing her up like an angel fallen into the mortal world.

The white wedding dress was layered and embellished with tiny diamonds, sparkling under the light and setting off her delicate and flawless face, making her breathtakingly beautiful.

She sat in front of the luxurious dressing mirror, looking at her radiant self in the mirror, with an uncontrollable smile of happiness on her lips.

"Wen Yan..." She whispered his name softly, her heart burning.

The wedding scene was decorated like a dreamland, with flowers covering every corner and the air filled with sweet fragrance.

There were many guests and celebrities, and everyone's face was filled with a smile of blessing.

Chi Wenyan was wearing a straight black suit, with an upright posture and unparalleled handsomeness. He was standing at the end of the red carpet, his deep eyes looking into the distance in the direction of the bride's dressing room, full of anticipation and tenderness.

Everything is so perfect.

Just as the wedding was about to begin and Ji Wan was about to get up and go to the auditorium, a strange man in a courier's uniform, holding a medium-sized square cardboard box, knocked on the dressing room door in a hurry.

"Ms. Ji, please sign for your expedited delivery." The man's voice was a little hurried and his eyes were evasive.

The bridesmaid was about to step forward to ask, but Ji Wan frowned slightly. Who would send her a courier at this time?

A slight uneasiness passed through her heart, but it was quickly dispelled by the joy of becoming a bride.

Maybe it’s a surprise gift from a friend?

"Give it to me." She held out her hand.

The courier box arrived, heavy and without any sender information on it. Ji Wan tore off the seal and opened the box.

A strong smell of blood instantly hit her face, so pungent that it almost made her nauseous.

Inside the box, there was a cat lying there, a cat with its fur stripped off, bloody and covered in blood, its body twisted and curled up.
