Gu Qian gripped the doorknob with one hand and said softly, "Where are you going?"
Wearing a white suit, Gu Qian looked as handsome as a prince on a white horse today. His celebrity face was indeed impeccable. He smiled and looked at Xia Wan with tenderness on his face.
But if you look closely, you'll find that there's no smile in the depths of Gu Qian's eyes.
Xia Wan's throat tightened, and feeling guilty, she avoided Gu Qian's gaze: "It's too stuffy in the room, I want to go out for some fresh air."
Gu Qian looked at Xia Wan's wide skirt, his eyes dark: "You've already changed into your wedding dress, so it's not easy to move around, right? The ceremony is about to begin, so just bear with it a little longer. Besides, I remember the room has a large window and the air conditioning is on, so it shouldn't be too stuffy."
"I..." Xia Wan bit her lower lip.
Gu Qian held her hand and said, "Wanwan, you have no idea how many years I've been waiting for this day. I can finally marry you. I'll be going in in ten minutes. If you leave now, I'll be very nervous. I'll be wondering if you don't want to marry me anymore." He smiled bitterly as he said this.
“These past few days, not only you have been nervous, but I have been too. People are always prone to anxiety when they are about to achieve happiness. Wanwan, today is such an important occasion, with so many people watching outside. We can’t afford to make any mistakes.”
Xia Wan was in a state of turmoil, and sweat was pouring down her face.
Gu Qian gently wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, comforting her as he did so: "I know you're feeling really uncomfortable right now, just bear with it a little longer for my sake, okay?"
Today's wedding is not up to Xia Wan. She already acted impulsively at the engagement banquet. This occasion is even bigger than the engagement banquet, and Xia Qingshan has repeatedly instructed that there must be no mistakes, as it concerns the reputation of the entire Xia family.
If Xia Wan dares to elope at this time, it would be like humiliating her father, and everyone would laugh at them.
As if doused with a bucket of cold water, Xia Wan came to her senses and forced a smile: "Okay, I won't go out, and don't be too nervous."
Gu Qian tidied the stray hairs off her ears: "How could I not be nervous about the thought of marrying you soon? But I'm more excited than nervous."
Xia Wan was the one who proposed the wedding first, and now she's the one who regrets it and wants to call it off. Faced with Gu Qian's sincere gaze, she felt ashamed beyond words.
She knew she shouldn't have the idea of running away from the wedding, as it was disrespectful to Gu Qian, but she just couldn't control herself.
Xia Wan took a step back, retreated into the room, and released her grip on the doorknob: "Go ahead and do your thing, I'm fine now."
After the door closed again, Gu Qian's face turned completely cold, as if covered with a layer of frost.
Some women just take advantage of you. He used to like Xia Wan quite a bit, but after being with her, he realized she was nothing special.
Even though she was about to marry him, she couldn't forget Zhuang Yan. She was always looking for something better, as if marrying him would be a huge humiliation.
He didn't mind the three years she dated Zhuang Yan, so why should she treat him coldly? She was the one who proposed dating and getting engaged first. Is she making a fool of him with this?
Gu Qian gripped the handkerchief tightly and threw it into a trash can as he passed by.
Dishonest women become honest after marriage and having children.
...
At 11 o'clock, all the guests arrived, and Lu Yan entered arm in arm with Zhuang Yan, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
Handsome men and beautiful women are eye-catching in themselves, let alone a great beauty like Lu Yan, who walked in like a ball of fire in her red dress.
Zhuang Yan, standing next to him, was equally striking, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. Putting aside his appearance, his physique and temperament were also outstanding; it was impossible to tell that he was a 24-year-old young man.
The fitted top and flowing suit pants accentuated his height and long legs. Unlike his friendly and gentle image on the show, Zhuang Yan appeared aloof and distant today, his dark eyes like cold crystal beads.
Lu Yan's beauty has a certain aggressive quality, and few men can overpower her, but standing next to Zhuang Yan, she is just right and a perfect match.
The people who were chatting were stunned and speechless when they saw Zhuang Yan.
The last time I saw Zhuang Yan was two months ago. How come there's such a big difference in such a short time? He's acting like he's here to cause trouble.
"Is this real? Why is Zhuang Yan here? Could it be that he can't let go of Xia Wan?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? If you really couldn't let go, why would you appear with Lu Yan? The rumors are true, those two really did hook up on the variety show. Zhuang Yan came with Lu Yan today, clearly wanting to get revenge."
"Two months ago he was her fiancé, and now he has become her uncle."
“How dare Zhuang Yan come here again? Has the matter of him killing his sister been resolved online? I’m scared of him now, I’ll stay away from him later.”
"Gu Qian is really something else. Not only did he steal Zhuang Yan's fiancée, but now he's even taken his parents. I wonder how much of the Zhuang family's assets will go to Gu Qian."
"Gu Qian is so lucky. When Xia Wan ran away from her wedding for him, I said they were having an affair. I never expected that she would announce her wedding date with Gu Qian right after breaking off her engagement with Zhuang Yan. I don't know how Xia Wan convinced her father."
The commotion was so loud that it was hard not to notice, and Xia Qingshan also saw Lu Yan and Zhuang Yan.
The moment Xia Qingshan saw Zhuang Yan, he thought of the more than 100 million yuan he had lost, and his eyes welled up with anger.
He grabbed Lu Yu and asked, "Why did Lu Yan bring Zhuang Yan here?"
"What? Zhuang Yan? Where is she?" Lu Yu belatedly noticed Lu Yan in the distance.
He quickly explained, "Brother-in-law, I only called Lu Yan. I didn't expect her to bring Zhuang Yan over. I'll go over there now and chase them both away."
Xia Qingshan stopped him: "Forget it, the banquet has already started. If we send them away now, people will say I'm petty..." He sneered and continued, "Two useless pieces of trash can't cause any trouble. If they want to watch, let them watch. We'll settle accounts with them slowly after the banquet!"
That's what he said, but his anger never subsided when he looked at Zhuang Yan. If his eyes could turn into knives, Zhuang Yan would have been torn to pieces by him.
Lu Yu trembled at Xia Qingshan's sinister gaze and stood timidly to the side without making a sound.
"Where is Zhuang Zhongming?" Xia Qingshan asked.
"It was just here a moment ago, it must have gone to the restroom."
One is his biological son whom he has raised freely for more than ten years, and the other is his recently adopted godson. Now that they are appearing in the same place, if something happens today, who will Zhuang Zhongming choose?
At this moment, Zhuang Zhongming was unaware that Zhuang Yan had arrived; he was with Gu Qian.
"Uncle Zhuang, where is godmother?" Because Zhuang Chongming had been distant from him recently, Gu Qian still couldn't bring himself to call him godfather.
"She's sick and can't come."
