Chapter 55 A Broken Bond From this day forward, Zhu Qing will belong to only him...

Zhu Qing looked down and saw that her bright red wedding dress was covered with dust.

Today was her wedding day with Zhang Yin, and due to the rush, many procedures and formalities were hastily prepared. Even her wedding dress was made to order by a seamstress. To save money, Zhu Qing chose the lowest quality one.

If her preparations were so hasty and incomplete, how did Feng Huaihe manage to prepare them?

Zhu Qing looked around and saw that the courtyard and rooms were covered with red banners, and the double happiness symbols on the teacups were neatly pasted on. Everything was placed in a neat and perfect manner.

She wouldn't believe it if you said it wasn't carefully prepared in advance.

But didn't he just return to Jinyang?

Zhu Qing frowned suspiciously: "Did you deliberately get involved in this? Are you plotting against me?"

Upon hearing her bring up this matter, Feng Huaihe paused, did not give a precise answer, took her hand, and led her to the back room.

A thin gauze screen adorned with colorful azaleas sits across the middle, separating the room from the back room.

Zhu Qing was led around the azalea screen by him, and there she saw a small back room with two pots of bright red azaleas in full bloom on the left and right sides.

The flowers and leaves are lush, the branches are long and intertwined, and between the two pots of flowers, a wedding dress is hung on a wooden pole.

Made of gauze and brocade, it is covered with a shawl embroidered with golden and red azaleas. A jade clasp is used to weigh down the shawl so that it cannot be blown away by the wind.

The hem of the wedding dress was embroidered with magnificent landscapes, the rivers woven with gold and silver threads. Depending on the angle, perspective, and light, they appeared to flow silently, an exquisite sight.

The fiery red color was so intense that it seemed to burn even the eyes.

The wedding dress was so beautiful that it was clear that a lot of thought had been put into it. But before Zhu Qing could even utter a word of amazement, she felt Feng Huaihe's hand slip through her lower back and pull her into a tight embrace from behind.

He grasped the sash at her waist, and with a gentle pull, the sash came undone, and her gorgeous dress spread open from her chest. Zhu Qing subconsciously reached out and pressed her hand against the front of her dress. Just as she was about to curse, Feng Huaihe leaned forward from behind and kissed her earlobe, panting, "Change out of this filthy wedding dress."

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, as he spoke, his thin lips and the tip of his tongue occasionally brushed against his earlobe, causing waves of heat to rise on his skin.

Zhu Qing shuddered, her lower back went numb, and she almost collapsed into his arms.

She quickly grabbed Feng Huaihe's strong arm to steady herself and said loudly, "I just put this on this morning. It's only a little dusty. How is it dirty?"

Where is it dirty? It's what I wore with Zhang Yin, what I wore with Zhang Yin, how could it not be dirty?

Feng Huaihe glanced sideways, his dark eyes fixed intently on Zhu Qing. He saw that she was angry, but her eyes remained calm, as if she really knew nothing.

He was unwilling to say more; revealing those thoughts would only make him appear more humble.

With a stern face, Feng Huaihe reached out and pried open Zhu Qing's hands, which were covering her chest. He then grabbed her shoulders and forcefully pulled her down, causing Zhu Qing's red wedding dress to fall off instantly and pile up on the ground.

Feng Huaihe glanced down at it, then casually stepped on it.

In an instant, Feng Huaihe felt as if he had personally crushed the fate between Zhu Qing and Zhang Yin, whether it was from a past life or this one. Their destiny was trampled under his feet and shattered into dust.

From then on, Zhu Qing belonged to him alone.

A series of ripples stirred within Feng Huaihe's heart, and his usually affectionate and warm peach blossom eyes also stirred up a frenzied wave.

Unable to contain his eagerness, he grabbed the wedding dress from the rack and, ignoring Zhu Qing's struggles, forced it onto her.
