Chapter 440 The Grand Finale (The End)
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Feng Jue walked up to Su Xi and made a gentlemanly gesture of invitation, "Xi Xi, would you like to dance?"
Su Xi looked at Zhu Luoluo with pleading eyes.
Little did anyone know that Zhu Luoluo was completely focused on the principle of sacrificing her own friend for her own.
Not only did they not help her out of her embarrassment,
Instead, he pushed her into Feng Jue's arms.
He pushed her while laughing, "Oh dear, you two are engaged, why are you being so polite? Are you cosplaying strangers? Are you showing off your love?"
Envious and admiring glances were directed at them from all around, clearly indicating that Su Xi and Feng Jue were displaying their love in a unique and extravagant way.
They're already engaged, yet they're still so shy and resistant. Add to that their perfectly matched good looks and equally matched family backgrounds, and wow, it's an absolute sex appeal overload!
Some people were so engrossed in shipping the couple that they wanted to force them together, have a baby on the spot, or even bring the civil affairs bureau over to get their marriage certificate.
Seeing all those doting, aunt-like gazes, especially the biggest and brightest one on someone's face, Su Xi wanted nothing more than to jump up and strangle Zhu Luoluo.
However, she had no choice. Feng Jue was still extending that gentlemanly invitation with a sincere and gentle expression, which made her reluctant to refuse him. So she could only place her palm in Feng Jue's warm hand.
Feng Jue's obsidian-black eyes deepened for a moment, and the large hand enveloping hers tightened slightly.
Su Xi's heart skipped a beat, and she let the man lead her towards the dance floor.
A series of excited, suppressed cheers came from behind them, as if they were going to bed instead of dancing.
Su Xi?
Su Xi's face flushed instantly, and she quickened her pace, but unfortunately, she tripped over her own foot and lost her balance.
In a dizzying moment, before Su Xi could react, she was already being held in Feng Jue's arms.
The screams behind me almost ripped the roof off.
Su Xi wished she could find a hole to crawl into. Instinctively, she lifted the man's suit jacket and buried her face in it. A cool, subtle fragrance wafted into her nose, which suddenly brought her back to her senses.
The moment Su Xi pulled her face away from the man's chest, her face was already incredibly red.
"You...you put me down, I can walk by myself."
Are you sure? Do you have a fever?
Upon hearing this, Su Xi's face flushed even more.
Just then, Zhu Luoluo came over, looking very serious, like a real person.
Upon seeing Zhu Luoluo, Su Xi felt as if she had seen a savior shining with golden light, but in the end, this guy turned out to be a Yama who wouldn't let anyone stay until dawn.
Zhu Luoluo said to Feng Jue in a serious tone, "I think Miss Su may have sprained her ankle and is not suitable for dancing. I'll take you to a room to rest. It's right next door, very close."
Then, Su Xi was sold off by Zhu Luoluo in a completely daze.
Even after the door closed, and after looking left and right, up and down, and confirming that it was just her and Feng Jue in the room, she was still in a daze.
A warm sensation suddenly came from my ankle.
Su Xi lowered her eyes and was shocked to find that the man had already knelt on one knee and gently helped her take off her high heels.
She instinctively wanted to pull her foot back.
"Don't move, let me check if you've sprained your ankle."
The man's voice was warm and clear, making it impossible and unbearable for anyone to refuse.
Seeing that the man was indeed carefully examining her injuries, and his cool, aloof profile, Su Xi felt she was just imagining things.
Embarrassed, Su Xi could only obediently let the man examine her.
After a long pause, the man finally said, "Fortunately, no bones or muscles were injured. I'll be fine after a rest. Let's rest here."
Before Su Xi could even react to what was happening, the man had already pressed her down onto the bed.
Just as Su Xi became alert, the man had already reached out and pulled the blanket over her from the neck down.
She's just being delusional again.
Su Xi blushed, her tense muscles instantly relaxing. Looking into the man's deep, clear eyes, she said calmly, "Thank you."
The man's gaze was cold and indifferent, and his expression clearly indicated that he was about to leave the room, leaving Su Xi to rest.
Su Xi was completely unaware that the man's hand holding the silk brocade was tightening.
At this moment, Feng Jue was just as conflicted as Hamlet: To be or not to be.
The man quickly chose the former.
Su Xi watched helplessly as the man's gaze slowly deepened, and as he spoke, his voice alluring and deep.
"Thank me? Is all you can do with your mouth?"
Su Xi's pupils twitched. Just as she sensed that something was wrong, she heard the click of a switch being turned on, and then the entire room was plunged into complete darkness.
...
After an unknown amount of time, Su Xi finally woke up from her exhaustion and deep sleep.
Her eyes had already adjusted to the darkness.
The sound of a man's deep breathing filled my ears.
Su Xi turned around slowly, and what came into view was the man's devastatingly handsome profile and his slender, pale shoulders.
Su Xi was so frightened she almost fainted.
She tiptoed to her feet, carefully dressed, and stealthily picked up her high heels before leaving the room with a smug, stealthy air.
Su Xi finally breathed a long sigh of relief the moment the door closed, as if she had come back to life.
She quickly put on her high heels and fled as if she were escaping.
In the days that followed, Su Xi avoided Feng Jue whenever she saw him, and would resolutely refuse to attend any occasions where he was present. Even for company events that required her attendance, Su Xi would use the excuse of feeling unwell to refuse to attend.
Soon, Su Luochen told Su Xi some shocking news: Su Changduo had chosen to marry into the family in order to win back Mo Qian.
This is unprecedented and will likely never be repeated.
Everyone who heard it was utterly shocked.
Su Xi was completely incredulous when she heard the news, until she received a call from Su Changduo. Only then did she realize that Su Changduo had indeed married into the family.
Moreover, her father gave the entire Huangtian Group to Feng Nianxi and had already had the lawyers draft the documents.
How can this be?
However, before Su Xi could even say her refusal, Su Changduo had already hung up the phone.
If you call again, I'll refuse to answer.
Su Changduo was at his wits' end. He tried to persuade Su Xi to change her mind, but she wouldn't listen. So he could only instigate Feng Jue to force the issue, but it was all in vain.
He was anxious too. He didn't want to be cold to Su Xi, but Qianqian was insisting, "You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub."
Between his wife and his daughter, he could only choose the former.
Soon, Su Changduo's lawyer found Su Xi and brought with him Mo Qian's recording.
The woman's voice remained cold and devoid of warmth, "Xixi, the misunderstandings of the past have been cleared up, and I will no longer resent you. However, you clearly have such a good family background and resources, yet you and your daughter have suffered so much. If it weren't for Feng Jue, you and your daughter would have been dead long ago."
Therefore, if you continue to act impulsively, stubbornly refuse to marry Nianxi's father, and fail to provide my granddaughter with a strong backing, a legitimate status, and a complete family, I will not acknowledge you.
In addition, Huangtian Group is under Nianxi's name, which means that whoever has custody of the child owns the company.
Your father and I both believe that Nianxi's father is more capable of protecting Nianxi. You should understand what I mean.
"If you don't give me a satisfactory explanation by the time of Nianxi's first birthday celebration, I will have no choice but to intervene in the custody issue."
Listening to her mother's recording, Su Xi couldn't calm down for a long time. She actually understood the principle very well, but she still felt uncomfortable and couldn't bring herself to do it.
With Nianxi's birthday approaching, Su Xi became increasingly absent-minded, losing interest in her usually beloved work and becoming lethargic.
No matter how I try to sleep, I can't get enough sleep.
This day was another meeting that all of Zhulu's management had to attend. Su Xi knew that this was Feng Jue's pretext for wanting to see her.
Su Xi didn't want to go at first, but when she thought about the coercion and threats from her biological parents, and the fact that Feng Jingnian, the long-lost person, would also be at her wedding banquet, she made up her mind and went to the conference room.
As soon as she sat down, Su Xi noticed that the tea prepared on her desk was her favorite brand of coffee.
This brand is very expensive and rare, and it takes a lot of effort to cook. Therefore, only Feng Jue in the entire company can produce it.
Looking at what was laid out on everyone else's table, it was all pre-rain Longjing tea, but hers was the only one that was special.
A warm feeling rose in Su Xi's heart. A slight, involuntary smile curved her lips.
Just then, a commotion broke out in the conference room. The moment Su Xi looked over, she met Feng Jue's deep, lustrous eyes.
The man's eyes were clear, sincere, and passionate... so bright that it was hard to open them.
Su Xi glanced at it once and quickly lowered her eyes. To hide her embarrassment, she picked up her coffee and took a sip.
But for some reason, the coffee, which was usually rich and aromatic, made her feel nauseous the moment it entered her mouth, and she couldn't help but gag repeatedly.
Everyone looked over.
Including the sealed jade pendant.
Without saying a word, the man bent down and lifted her up horizontally, as easily as if he were holding a Barbie doll.
The tone was uncompromising: "I'll take you to the hospital. The meeting is postponed."
The last sentence was naturally addressed to everyone else present.
When the doctor entered the hospital, his dignified face beamed with a smile brighter than any flower. "Congratulations, President Feng! Congratulations, President Su! You're expecting!"
What? !
Su Xi stood there, stunned.
Feng Jue was stunned. He moved his lips, but in the end, he held back and said nothing.
It was Su Xi who spoke first, "Feng Jue, let's get married."
“…Ah? Okay, of course it’s good.” Feng Jue was stunned at first, then overjoyed. He happily got up and sat down next to Su Xi, not knowing where to put his hands.
However, just as he reached out to pull the woman into his arms, Su Xi pushed him away, her expression indifferent and devoid of any emotion.
"We got married only for the sake of the children, so we need to agree on three rules. First, we will sleep in separate rooms; that kind of thing is not allowed. Second, we will each play our roles as parents well and not let the children suspect anything. Third, we will divorce after the children have reached adulthood."
Upon hearing such a set of rules, given Feng Jue's personality, even if the entire Milky Way, the solar system, and the universe were offered as dowry, he would still turn his back and leave with a dark expression.
But now, he just gave a self-deprecating laugh and nodded solemnly, "Okay."
Marriage is the first step. Once they become a legal couple, they'll live together and see each other all the time.
He didn't believe she would still have empty eyes.
Two months later, the entire business world of China, and even the whole of China, was shaken.
This day marks the marriage of Su Xi from Huangtian Group and Feng Jue from Tianjue Group, and also the full-month celebration of their beloved daughter, Feng Nianxi.
Such a lively and grand occasion is an honor for everyone to attend. Unfortunately, few people receive invitations, and many people are desperate to get even a single ticket for the outer area.
The wedding day was an unprecedented and unparalleled spectacle.
After the grand full moon banquet and lively wedding, Nie Liuyun sent a blessing from years past.
Su Xi frowned. "Didn't he say he was going to come in person?"
Nie Liuyun raised an eyebrow. "Jingnian said his wife is jealous of you, so he can only record a blessing video."
Su Xi was speechless. So, Feng Jingnian had gotten married again.
That's fine, as long as he's happy.
Nie Liuyun projected the blessing video onto the big screen.
On the big screen, Feng Jingnian, dressed in casual beach shorts, sat under a large parasol by the sea. His usually unnaturally fair face had turned slightly bronze, making him look much healthier.
Feng Jingnian smiled and said, "Xixi, I know you'll get married sooner or later, and the groom will be Feng Jue, no one else."
"Lily and I are doing great," he said, pointing to the pretty girls in bikinis on the beach and snapping his fingers.
The girl named Lili looked over, her expression slightly displeased.
Su Xi pursed her lips. It seemed that Lili really cared about her past with Feng Jingnian, but she could understand.
Feng Jingnian laughed, "Xixi, you saw it too, right? Lili is great in every way, except she gets jealous so easily. I just recorded a video to wish her a happy birthday, and she already made me sleep on the sofa. It'll probably take half a month to coax her back."
Okay, that's all for now, or Lili will get angry again. Congratulations on your marriage!
Also, Feng Jue, if you treat Xixi badly, I will appear. I will take her away and hide her in a place you will never find.
Also, Xixi, I promised to travel the world with Lili and cut off all contact with my past, especially my past girlfriends.
If we contact each other again in the future, there are only two possibilities: either my relationship with Lili breaks down, or your relationship with Feng Jue breaks down.
Haha, I think it's impossible. I love Lili very much, and Ajue loves you too.
That's all for now. I won't keep you any longer. Goodbye!
After he finished speaking, the screen went black.
Su Xi pursed her lips and looked at Nie Liuyun, "Since Lili is jealous, it's right that he doesn't contact me. But you're friends, so if he needs any help or has any difficulties, he must tell me."
Nie Liuyun pressed his tongue against his teeth, with a hint of arrogance, "Don't worry, even if Feng Jingnian tells me not to say it, I will definitely say it."
Hearing this, Su Xi finally felt relieved. Feng Jue smiled, put his arm around her shoulder, nodded to Nie Liuyun, and left.
Watching Su Xi's departing figure, Nie Liuyun's usually carefree and unruly face immediately turned sorrowful.
What Lily? She was just a complete stranger on the beach. Caught off guard by a man snapping his fingers and filming her with his phone, she naturally wasn't happy.
If it weren't for Feng Jingnian's good looks, they probably would have already called their friends and given him a good beating.
As for Feng Jingnian, all those claims about traveling the world and getting married were fake.
He had been doing this for seven or eight months.
He had already left the world he loved.
It's true that he has an incurable disease, and he deliberately left behind evidence of his fake incurable disease so that Su Xi would leave him.
Leave him before his condition is fully revealed.
That way Su Xi won't be sad.
He did it.
He left without regrets. Because the blessing video he had recorded in advance was exactly as he had guessed.
Feng Jingnian always believed that Feng Jue would bring happiness to Su Xi. It was his selfishness that made him and Su Xi live as husband and wife for more than a year. So he should be grateful for that terminal illness. Otherwise, he would not have had the courage and determination to take Su Xi away from Feng Jue for more than half a year.
Nie Liuyun clenched his fists, found a quiet corner, and watched with a smile as the wedding of the century slowly came to an end.
As I laughed, my eyes welled up with tears.
From then on, at every important milestone for Su Xi—her birthday party, the birth of her son Su Xiaoshi, her first wedding anniversary, her Nth wedding anniversary, when Su Xi and Feng Jue finally reconciled and became a real couple, when Su Xi's mother Mo Qian held a grand family reunion banquet to recognize Su Xi, when Su Xi's best friend Ye Qingqian and Chu Xu got married because Su Xi was pregnant, when Su Xi's younger brother Luo Chen and her childhood best friend Zhu Luoluo walked down the aisle and became the last of their sister-brother romances, Nie Liuyun would secretly drive to Feng Jingnian's grave and tell him all these good news.
The family of four was happy; he was happy, and so was he.
—The End—
