Chapter 141 Their Wedding
Lin Qi quickly picked up his phone, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.
Gu Xingnian noticed something was wrong with him and casually asked, "What's wrong?"
He stammered, "Madam, I...I'm cold, I'll go put on another layer."
Gu Xingnian looked at him, a grown man, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Go ahead, go ahead."
Lin Qi waved to the maid, asking her to serve his wife dinner, while he rushed like a gust of wind to the small building at the back.
The small building was the residence of the bodyguards and servants.
He prayed frantically in his heart: Mr. Fu, you absolutely cannot be hurt! You absolutely cannot be hurt! That old professor will arrive in two days, you absolutely must pull through!
Rushing back to the small building, three doctors were performing emergency treatment on Fu Beichen, even administering adrenaline.
Lin Qi dared not breathe, silently shrinking into a corner, squatting down, his fists clenched tightly, his eyes reddening, silently swallowing his tears.
After a while, the despairing straight line on the electrocardiogram finally started jumping again, turning into an undulating curve.
The doctors breathed a sigh of relief in unison.
Lin Qi felt as if he had been granted a pardon and rushed over: "Doctor, how is President Fu?"
The lead doctor removed his mask, let out a heavy sigh, and sounded exhausted.
"The toxins in General Fu's body have begun to attack his heart and lungs. If an antidote is not found soon, I'm afraid... even a miracle won't save him."
After a pause, the doctor added, "The main reason is that Mr. Fu was shot earlier, which severely weakened him and allowed the poison to spread so rapidly."
Lynch stayed in the small building for more than half an hour before returning to the garden, looking utterly dejected.
Gu Xingnian has already returned to the main house to rest.
That night, he stayed by Fu Beichen's bedside without leaving for a moment, not daring to go anywhere else.
Fu Beichen didn't wake up until the middle of the night.
He knew nothing about the fact that his heart had stopped beating.
When Lin Qi explained the situation to him, his eyes darkened, clearly disbelieving the magnitude of the danger.
After a long while, he got up, stood at the window, lit a cigarette, and looked blankly at the garden full of lilies.
He seemed to be thinking about something!
In the early morning, Gu Xingnian got up, but still didn't see Fu Beichen.
The car sent by Xinuo was waiting at the villa entrance early in the morning, and Lin Qi accompanied her directly to the castle.
No one knows how she detoxified herself.
When she came out, her face was a little pale and her steps were unsteady.
At this moment, Fu Beichen stood in front of the car waiting for her, followed by ten bodyguards in black, exuding an aura of power.
He looked somewhat haggard, wearing a dark suit that accentuated his broad shoulders and narrow waist, exuding a cool and aloof, ascetic aura.
He stepped forward and gently pulled the person into his arms. "Are you tired?"
Gu Xingnian uttered a single word calmly, "Hungry!"
"I'll take you to get something to eat." He patted her back gently, his voice so tender it could melt your heart.
The unpleasantness from before seems to have long since vanished.
Xinuo happened to come out from inside and saw the two of them embracing each other affectionately. His eyes darkened, revealing a hint of barely suppressed anger, or rather, murderous intent.
The moment Fu Beichen saw Xinuo, his jaw tightened, and his voice turned icy: "Now, it's my turn to settle accounts."
He raised his voice and commanded towards the castle, "Go up there and break Xilin's hands!"
Gu Xingnian looked up at him in astonishment. This person... she had just rescued!
When Xinuo saw this scene, he was so frightened that he almost jumped out of his skin and ran out, nearly kneeling down in fear.
"President Fu! President Fu! My brother is still very weak. If he has offended you in any way, please be lenient and don't hit him!"
Fu Beichen glanced at him coldly, his tone leaving no room for argument, "He touched someone he shouldn't have, so he has to suffer the consequences!"
Then he added, "I hope you can keep your promise, Miss Xi."
That's right, the price for curing Xilin's poison is the abolition of the three-month companionship agreement.
Xinuo looked at him sadly and nodded, "I know."
Fu Beichen ignored her and helped Gu Xingnian into the car.
The bodyguards, on the other hand, were well-trained and rushed into the castle.
Xinuo was so frightened that he followed.
In the car, Fu Beichen held Gu Xingnian's shoulders tightly, his chin resting on the top of her head, his voice slightly hoarse: "I'm sorry, I made you suffer."
Gu Xingnian did feel a little dizzy, so she leaned lightly on his shoulder and said, "I'll rest for a while."
The car drove smoothly for about half an hour before arriving at our destination.
It was a picturesque little village with many quaint houses scattered around it.
A lively mass wedding was being held on a large lawn. In the center of the lawn stood an old tree that looked hundreds of years old, covered with many red wishing balls.
The bride and groom, dressed in festive attire, are performing some kind of sacred ceremony.
Gu Xingnian and Fu Beichen got out of the car, their eyes shining as they looked at the lively scene.
"This is?"
Lin Qi stepped forward and explained, "Madam, this is a traditional wedding in Maduri. It just so happens that a group vice president is getting married here today. So, we're just passing by to attend the wedding banquet and share in the joy."
Why don't you and Mr. Fu change your clothes first? We've prepared some more festive styles.
After Lin Qi finished speaking, he took out two beautifully packaged gift boxes from the trunk of the car.
Fu Beichen gently took her hand and led her toward the main house.
Suddenly, many more people came to watch the ceremony. Men, women, young and old were all there, dressed in festive clothes and wearing flower wreaths.
When Gu Xingnian and Fu Beichen came out of the main house again, they instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.
They wore simple white formal wear characteristic of the local style, with pure white as the main color, and the lapels and cuffs were decorated with exquisite red and gold embroidery, which depicted lifelike seven-colored fruits and festive birds in various poses.
It's absolutely gorgeous!
The man was handsome and tall, and the woman was stunningly beautiful. Their presence alone made the ten carefully dressed newlyweds pale in comparison.
As soon as they came out, the ten newlywed couples spontaneously made way for them.
As we approached the ancient tree, an elderly woman with gray hair, supported by two young women, walked over shakily.
The old woman stopped in front of them, muttering a string of words that Gu Xingnian couldn't understand at all, and slowly circled around them three times, as if performing some kind of ancient blessing ritual.
Fu Beichen whispered in her ear, "This is the local high priest, who is responsible for blessing all the guests who come to the wedding banquet."
Gu Xingnian was somewhat surprised; could guests really enjoy such perks?
With so many guests, how many times must the old lady turn around!
Then, the high priest picked up an ancient-looking holy cup and gently poured the holy water inside onto them.
Gu Xingnian subconsciously turned her head to dodge.
Fu Beichen raised his hand, gently blocking the flying water droplets, then tenderly wiped the water droplets from her hair with his fingertips, revealing a smile full of affection to her.
After a while, the old woman gestured to the people beside her to bring up a velvet box, said something to them, pointed to the sky, and even jumped up and down a couple of times.
Fu Beichen whispered in her ear again, "The priest said that this is a blessing gift from heaven to you, and he hopes that you will be safe and well."
She nodded and whispered, "Thank you!"
So dedicated!
The box was opened, and inside lay a necklace with a delicately cut pink stone ring as a pendant, so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.
Fu Beichen picked up the necklace and personally put it on her snow-white neck.
"Do you like it?" he asked.
“It’s beautiful!” She nodded again, her fingertips lightly touching the cool pendant on her chest.
She didn't know that this was the pink diamond worth a billion dollars, with the three English letters GXN engraved inside.
The old woman smiled and handed them two bracelets made of seven-colored fruits.
They gestured for each other to wear it on their wrists, and they carefully put it on for each other.
Fu Beichen suddenly leaned close to her ear again, his breath warm.
"Now, I'm going to pretend to kiss you, and the ceremony will be complete. Otherwise, we won't be able to sit at the head table during dinner."
Before Gu Xingnian could refute, he lowered his head slightly and gently kissed the corner of her lips.
It's like a dragonfly skimming the water, yet it carries an irresistible force.
Upon seeing this, the surrounding guests immediately cheered and waved the flower petals in their hands.
Some elderly people and children walked quickly to the wishing tree and threw their red wishing balls onto the ancient tree.
The warm and beautiful scene instantly brought the wedding atmosphere to its peak, and the air was filled with the fragrance of happiness.
Lin Qi brought over a tray with two wishing balls, one red and one green, on it.
"Mr. Fu, why don't you and your wife also throw a wishing ball for good luck?"
Fu Beichen turned his head to look at her, and Gu Xingnian nodded happily.
Fu Beichen gently tied the red and green wishing balls together and handed them to her.
Then, standing behind her, I gently wrapped my arms around her, my large hands encircling her small hands, and with a forceful toss, a pair of small balls landed steadily on the tree.
The ten newlywed couples smiled and stepped forward, took their hands, led them to the center of the venue, and invited them to dance together.
Gu Xingnian was immediately captivated by the happy and special atmosphere of the wedding.
Fu Beichen took her hand and joined the others in a lively group dance.
Seeing the radiant smile on her face, that pure, heartfelt happiness, Fu Beichen's lips also unconsciously curved upwards.
How wonderful!
In the crowd, a pair of sharp eyes were fixed on Gu Xingnian's direction.
"Fu Beichen, how dare you?" he spat out through gritted teeth, each word dripping with venom.
Yes, this is a traditional wedding ceremony in Maduri. Today, it is a meticulously planned wedding, Fu Beichen's last gift to her, his final thought.
And she knew nothing about it!
After the dance and the banquet, it was already afternoon when Fu Beichen walked out with Gu Xingnian in his arms.
At this moment, she was a little drunk.
She squinted, turned her head to look at his handsome face, and said, "Fu Beichen, how much did you give as a gift? Add mine to the list... I'm so happy about today's wedding!"
Fu Beichen reached out and wrapped his arms around her slender waist, speaking softly, "I gave her a lot of money, bought a lot of blessings, a lot of happiness, and a lot of memories!"
Gu Xingnian tried to open her eyes wide, stretched out her little hand, and kept counting, "Fu Beichen, I know... a lot of your... secrets. I also have a... big secret... to tell you."
Fu Beichen's eyes lit up, and he brought his ear close to her mouth, "What secret, hmm?"
"Do you remember that...great shark? You were about to be eaten, and I...pulled you...up."
After she finished speaking, she giggled and buried her head in the crook of his neck, her warm breath tickling his neck!
Fu Beichen was taken aback for a moment, then laughed it off.
A great white shark, eat him? He dismissed it as her talking nonsense and rambling in her sleep.
"I want to... go to the... restroom."
“Okay, I’ll go with you.” Fu Beichen picked her up and quickly headed towards the main house.
He stood by the window not far from the restroom, smoking, his face radiating happiness.
After a while, no one came out, so he went over and knocked on the door.
No one answered. Had he fainted?
He was startled and pushed open the door, only to find the bathroom empty.
"Nian Nian!"
He was so frightened that he rushed out...
