(Ding! Well done, host. Mission two is complete.)

Ignoring the system, Chu Yuan continued to nestle softly on Shen Xizhou's shoulder, whispering in his ear, "Shen Xizhou, I love you, I'm willing... to be your wife."

The priest was a little stunned by Chu Yuan's initiative, but when Shen Xizhou smiled and pulled his beloved little girl down, he came to his senses and continued with the rest of the ceremony, "Now, please have the groom lift the bride's veil and kiss her."

With such a good thing, what was there for Shen Xizhou to hesitate about? He immediately did as instructed, cupping Chu Yuan's face and giving her a passionate French kiss.

The two of them weren't embarrassed. The audience below split into two groups. Those who had received a Western education, like Lin Hanshuang, were all smiles, but Jiang's parents felt their faces burning and didn't know where to look.

If she hadn't been too afraid, Jiang's mother probably would have stood up and cursed her for being "immoral and indecent."

However, among the many guests, they were too inconspicuous. Before long, someone came over to take them away and had Jiang's mother copy a statement for Jiang's father to read and sign. Only then did they give them 100,000 yuan and put them on the train.

On the grass, everyone was happily eating, chatting, and laughing. But not far away, a figure was sneaking towards the computer room.

Behind everyone was a large electronic screen adorned with flowers, displaying the bride and groom's wedding photos.

Xue Qing slipped into the server room, holding a USB drive containing photos of Chu Yuan being abused by Zhu Jicheng years ago.

She had a hard time copying it from old files.

In those photos, Chu Yuan's skin was exposed, ugly and unsightly, and some were almost nipples exposed. If they were released to the public now... Xue Qing couldn't help but feel excited just thinking about it.

She said that if she can't have it, no one else can either!

Just as Xue Qing plugged in the USB drive and was about to start playing it, her hand was grabbed forcefully by another person!

Xue Qing was startled and turned around, exclaiming in shock, "Xiao Qi! It's you! Let me go right now!"

Xiao Qi and Xue Qing were childhood friends from Shenxizhou.

Moreover, before Xue Qing chased after him to S City, Xiao Qi had advised her to give up and not to waste her limited energy on someone impossible, as it could easily lead to obsession.

However, Xue Qing wouldn't listen and took Xiao Qi's feelings for her for granted.

Seeing that it was Xiao Qi and no one else, Xue Qing breathed a sigh of relief and moved her wrist, which had been pinched so hard. "Did you hear me? I told you to let go of me!"

"What do you want to do?" Xiao Qi didn't move, his voice inexplicably icy and cold.

Because he knew Xue Qing so well, even better than he knew himself, he didn't need to think too deeply to guess what Xue Qing was thinking at that moment.

Xue Qing didn't try to hide anything, and said with a sinister smile, "What are we going to do? Of course, we're going to ruin their wedding!"

Xiao Qi, the three of us grew up together. Don't you think Xizhou has been too cruel to me?

He doesn't love me, yes, I admit that! But why did he send me to this godforsaken, desolate mountain village just to protect that woman?!

You know I'll be staying there for five years, a full five years, otherwise all my efforts over the years will have been in vain!

I hate him and Jiang Yuan. I'm going to ruin their reputations and make them infamous!

Shen Xizhou fell in love with and married the young woman who was the client in his case. Wow, what a sensational story! I guarantee it'll be trending tomorrow once it's exposed!

As she spoke, Xue Qing struggled, "So, stop causing me trouble. Shen Xizhou is your brother, and I'm still your sister."

Xiao Qi, I know you love me, you always have. I promise you, if you let me get revenge, I'll marry you, okay?

Xiao Qi remained unmoved by what he had just heard, because he had heard these words far too often lately.

Xue Qing would call him day and night to complain about Shen Xizhou, calling him and Jiang Yuan scumbags and bitches...

He could have chosen not to spoil her like that, but he had liked her since he was a child.

"Really?" In an instant, Xiao Qi's eyes sparkled, and his tone was full of anticipation.

This gave Xue Qing a sense of hope, so she immediately pressed on and even turned around and hugged Xiao Qi tightly.

"Of course it's true. Although I wasn't that attracted to you, many people say that you should marry someone who loves you more, not someone you love more. After what happened in S City these past few days, I've been able to completely let go of my obsession with Shen Xizhou. Xiao Qi, I really understand now. You are actually the most suitable person for me."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qi laughed, almost bursting out laughing.

Xue Qing felt something was off. Just as she was about to look up, she felt a numbness in her neck and then fainted.

Xiao Qi held her as she slid down, "Don't blame me, Xue Qing. I can't let you make one mistake after another. Besides, you're right about something: you're the one I love, but Xi Zhou is also my brother. How could I let him be in danger?"

Xiao Qi unplugged the USB drive and crushed it with one hand. "Actually, Xizhou had already guessed you would come. He had me set up surveillance throughout the entire process to protect his wedding, just to keep an eye on you. Qing'er, you're really foolish. I hope you can really wake up after this."

They all know all too well just how painful it is to fall in love with someone who doesn't love them back!

*

Chu Yuan only heard about this after returning to S City.

At that time, Xue Qing had already obtained a sick leave certificate from the hospital and received approval from her superiors to take a six-month leave of absence and not go to Yuanfeng Village for support.

"She did manage to get away quickly," Chu Yuan sneered.

Shen Xizhou brought the warm milk to Chu Yuan's lips. "I didn't expect this method of making her sick, but if you're still angry and want to cause her more trouble, I'll help you."

The world is vast, but my wife is the most important.

Not to mention that his wife is currently pregnant with their little darling.

Chu Yuan took the milk and sipped it, neither immediately saying yes nor no, but simply asking, "When is Xue Qing's birthday?"

"What, you want to celebrate for her?" Shen Xizhou asked in surprise.

Chu Yuan pouted, "Of course we should celebrate, but it depends on how we celebrate. Sigh... Shen Xizhou, aren't you going to tell me?"

Shen Xizhou was at her wit's end and could only say, "January 9th, the year is already over."

"Then it'll have to be next year?" Chu Yuan seemed a little regretful.

Shen Xizhou had a gut feeling that she was planning something bad, but seeing the milk stains around her pink lips, Shen Xizhou's dark eyes involuntarily deepened. He raised his hand and slowly wiped the stains with his thumb, but this not only had no effect, but also made his lower abdomen burn even more. Then he took the milk cup and kissed her fiercely.

Taking a moment to coax, "Are you still hungry? I have more, I'll give you some to drink..."
