Chapter 547 Wedding March
"What? Are you switching to a psychological warfare tactic now?" Wen Ni sneered disdainfully. "Let me tell you, I'm not falling for that! You think you're worthy of comparing yourself to Lu Jinye?"
“You don’t need to provoke me with your words.” Li Shiyan grabbed her wrist and forcefully slipped a gold bracelet onto her wrist. “Whether I’m worthy or not isn’t up to you. The person you’re about to marry is me, not him. If he dares to come, I’m confident I can catch him, lock him in a dungeon, and raise him like a dog. I’ll make him watch as his woman makes love with me, and as his closest relatives and friends are skinned, dismembered, cooked, and their blood drunk by me! Hmm… just thinking about that scene is exciting!”
"You're delusional!" Wen Ni forcefully pulled her arm back, her eyes filled with hatred.
We'll see.
Li Shiyan gave a sinister smile.
Then he got up and slowly walked outside.
"Don't upset me. You're a smart person, you don't want Qin Yuan to be missing an arm or a leg, right?"
"asshole!"
The tray flew up and smashed into the closed door.
It crashed and shattered on the ground.
Wen Ni was breathing heavily, then gradually calmed down. Her gaze returned to the pile of jewelry scattered on the bed…
On the border, artillery fire raged.
Ordinary people were filled with fear and fled in all directions.
Meanwhile, the so-called upper class in the heartland did not experience any disruption to their basic lives. The Garden Hotel, the highest-star hotel in the Burmese factory district, was even decorated with lanterns and colorful carpets, and firecrackers were being set off, in preparation for a grand and elaborate wedding!
Inside the dressing room on the second floor of the hotel, heavily guarded by bodyguards.
The makeup artist held an eyeliner pencil and meticulously drew the bride's beautiful eyebrows and eyes.
With the final stroke, a bright, upturned eye corner is drawn.
The makeup artist straightened up and looked with satisfaction at the young woman in the mirror, dressed in a pure white wedding gown, with a delicate and perfect face!
"You are the most beautiful and elegant bride I have ever seen!" the makeup artist exclaimed. "I heard that the groom is the big boss of the Imperial Alliance Chamber of Commerce, right? These pieces of jewelry you are wearing, were they all personally selected for you by the groom? They must be very expensive! I am so envious of you. You know what? The Imperial Alliance Chamber of Commerce is the most powerful organization in all of Myanmar right now! They have a lot of influence in the officialdom!"
The beautiful bride, Wen Ni, gently placed her hand on her wrist, then looked up at her expressionless reflection in the mirror, and at the smiling makeup artist behind her.
"The Burmese and the Chinese are at war, aren't you afraid?"
"With General Dawa here, and the Mi Kingdom backing us up, what's there to be afraid of? A mere Hua Kingdom can't possibly get this far. I've heard those Hua Kingdom people are pushovers; they haven't experienced war in decades, unlike us, constantly embroiled in internal and external conflicts. When it comes to fighting, we have far more experience!" The makeup artist said dismissively. "Besides, these are things for their soldiers to worry about. What does it have to do with us ordinary people? We should eat and drink as usual; why bother with those things?"
Hearing her words, Wen Ni did not say anything more.
He only asked one more question: "What's the situation outside right now?"
"I don't know the specifics, but I know there's been some friction on the border, with them firing back and forth. It hasn't escalated to a large-scale armed conflict, so maybe it won't even break out," the makeup artist shook his head. "On the other hand, regardless of our strength or whether we can win, as ordinary citizens, we certainly don't want war. It's a waste of resources and manpower, and the economy won't recover for decades!"
"Yeah."
"Yes, oh dear, bride, stand up and walk around a bit so I can help you with this veil!"
"Um."
As Wen Ni lifted her wedding dress and took a step, she heard the clanging of the iron chains on her feet.
The makeup artist was stunned. She bent down and lifted the skirt, and what she saw was the iron shackles hanging between Wen Ni's ankles!
"What... what is this?"
"This is our bride and groom's way of having fun; you wouldn't understand."
Blind Assassin, dressed in a black suit, walked in.
With a smile on his face, he strode over to Wen Ni's side, his eyes wide with amazement. "Sister, you look so beautiful today!"
Wen Ni remained silent
He watched as Blind Assassin raised an arm towards him, slightly bent.
"Sister, take my arm, it's our turn to go on stage."
Wen Ni didn't move, but asked, "Where is Qin Yuan's medicine?"
"The master said he'll give it to you once the wedding goes smoothly!"
"But Qin Yuan's medication is almost worn off, and you don't want him to have a relapse at the wedding, do you?"
"These gentlemen already anticipated this. They've already given him the temporary suppressant medication, but the real cure will be given to you after the wedding. Sister, don't always have ulterior motives!"
"Like you said, I can't escape at all, so what wicked thoughts could I possibly have?"
Wen Ni lowered her eyelashes and took Blind Thorn's hand.
They walked out step by step, the clanking of their shackles crisp and loud.
Wait until you stand in front of the auditorium door
Blind Thorn straightened his back and smiled with satisfaction, "Sister, it's a really special feeling for your younger brother to see you off on your wedding!"
"Don't get too caught up in the drama." Wen Ni said expressionlessly. "I don't have a younger brother like you."
"Sister, you're making me sad!" Blind Thorn said, sounding aggrieved.
"Isn't that right? What kind of younger brother would repeatedly try to assassinate his older sister? And then personally send her to her grave in shackles?" Wen Ni sneered.
"Because only in this way can you and I become family. Sister, actually, I love you even more than you think." Blind Thorn kept his head turned to the side, looking at Wen Ni's profile beside him.
"Don't try to fool me with such disgusting words."
"Don't you like to lie, sister? I learned it from you, didn't I?" Blind Thorn smiled, his eyes crinkling.
He seems genuinely happy?
Wen Ni did not intend to continue speaking with him.
The door in front of them was gradually opened.
As the wedding march began, Wen Ni walked into the wedding venue arm in arm with Blind Thorn!
The hall was full of guests.
Many of the people inside were from the Imperial Alliance Chamber of Commerce. Some of them looked very familiar, and Wen Ni even saw Ban Gou.
Ban Gou frowned, his expression a complex mix of emotions he couldn't quite describe as he looked at her!
Looking away, she saw the weakened Qin Yuan sitting in the front row, flanked by Li Shiyan's men. Qin Yuan's eyes were bloodshot, and her gaze, following Wen Ni, flickered with resentment, heartache, and suppressed emotions.
And the mastermind behind all this, Li Shiyan, stood on the center stage. He was wearing a sharp suit and looked respectable, but in reality, he was as rotten as a demon inside!
At a nearby table, Ye Zhishu sat with his head down, drinking one glass of wine after another.
Wen Ni doesn't remember, nor does she need to remember, how she walked step by step onto the wedding stage to complete this ridiculous ceremony!
She mechanically followed the procedure, her gaze sweeping over the guests repeatedly, confirming that she didn't see a single familiar face.
But she was certain that China had sent someone!
The day before the wedding, she was locked in a country villa and saw the old man who sold chickens, ducks and geese giving wedding candy to the people who were helping her. It was the kind of candy she loved the most, and the old man kept mentioning the wedding at the entrance of the village.
This is definitely not a coincidence, but a hint given to her!
But who will come?
She was uncertain, but she was prepared.
