Chapter 149 Chapter 149: During the Wedding "Wen Laiya...
Lin Mo's marriage to Master Obeli of the Obedi family caused a huge uproar in the entire upper class society like a bombshell.
The wedding invitation had a gold-edged edge and was written in the oldest Zerg language.
The twelve gilded doors of the Ivel Palace were all open, and the wreath of everlasting life hanging from the palace dome exuded an eternal and unchanging fragrance. It was the sacred flower of Ivel that had been preserved for three hundred years using special craftsmanship.
The guests' aircraft formed a long line on the Starry Avenue in front of the hall.
The fluorite lamps on the four walls of the hall lit up one by one.
In the center of the ceremony platform stands the statue of Iver. The statue of the god of love holds twin flowers in his hands and has his eyebrows lowered.
In the banquet hall, delicacies from various galaxies filled the hundred-meter-long crystal dining table.
Waiters carried wine glasses and walked around to ensure that every guest could taste the best wine.
On the terrace outside the palace, the elderly nobles exchanged meaningful glances.
The political changes hidden behind this marriage seem invisible but affect the power structure of the entire empire.
Almost all the nobles and all the prominent figures in business and politics were invited to this marriage.
——As the commander of the Third Legion and the head of the Wendy family, Wen Layak was naturally invited.
Wen Laiyak walked through the corridor alone, the light from the crystal chandelier flowing on his light blue hair, like the cold light reflected by polar glaciers.
His steps were steady, each one precisely placed on the center of the marble tiles. It was a courtesy ingrained in his bones.
Two strands of silk hairband hung down, fluttering gently behind her, like two wet tear marks.
"Da, da, da."
There was laughter and joy all around.
But he seemed particularly lonely.
The face of the commander of the Third Legion appeared as pale as porcelain under the light, and the shadow cast by his high nose bridge shrouded his deep-sea eyes in even deeper melancholy.
He wears two rings on his hands, one on his thumb and the other on his ring finger.
The ring dug into his flesh as he clenched his fist, and the name engraved on the inside was Linmo Wenlayak.
This was the ring he used when he and Lin Mo got married. After the divorce, Lin Mo took off the ring and placed it on the divorce agreement.
It was placed on the name signed by Lin Mo in a flamboyant style.
The preparatory melody of the wedding march came from the terrace at the end of the corridor, and Wenlaiak stopped at the junction of shadow and light.
He turned the ring on his thumb, and the cool metal slid between his fingers. The inscription with their names had long been blurred after years of being together.
"Would you like some wine, sir?" the waiter approached with a silver tray.
"Thank you, I don't need it."
Wenlaiak shook his head, touched the ring on his hand, and suddenly asked when he turned around: "Where is Lord Lin Mo?"
——
In the dressing room,
Lin Mo stood quietly in front of the floor-length mirror, surrounded by piles of gifts from guests.
——Bright red roses and sparkling gems bloom freely on the velvet lining, like a silent noise.
The male insect's long gray hair was carefully braided into an intricate pigtail, revealing its sharp profile.
His slender figure was reflected in the mirror, and the perfectly tailored suit outlined his broad shoulders and narrow waist.
The sapphire brooch on his chest was an heirloom of the Obedi family. It now shone with a cold glow under the light, exactly the same as his dark gray pupils.
The diamonds on the cufflinks are cut into twelve facets, each of which accurately reflects the light from the chandelier, as if showing off the value of this marriage.
"It's the perfect groom's outfit."
Lin Mo whispered to himself in the mirror, a sarcastic arc appearing at the corner of his lips.
He reached up to adjust his bow tie, his ring finger, where a ring had long been worn, now empty—like some empty space in his chest.
It was obvious that he didn't like this wedding.
But this did not prevent him from cooperating with the wedding.
The sound of a band's sonata came from outside the window, and the cheerful melody seeped in through the thick curtains.
Lin Mo suddenly tugged at his tie, and the cold and arrogant face in the mirror finally cracked. His dark grey eyes were churning with hidden undercurrents.
He stared at the blue light on the brooch, and in a trance he saw another pair of smiling eyes and a light blue figure that was always waiting at the door.
"Sir, the ceremony will start in twenty minutes." The servant knocked on the door, but did not dare to go in. He just reminded him softly.
"knew."
Lin Mo closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, only the indifferent nobleman remained in the mirror.
He smoothed the wrinkles on his tie and straightened his cufflinks, his face expressionless.
Lin Mo leaned against the pillar beside him with his arms crossed, thinking a lot.
He really should cooperate with this marriage.
Every musical note here will be Link's funeral music.
Since Count Link and Count Obedi are so eager to join forces to strengthen their power and resist more uncertainties, Lin Mo will directly send Link to the end he deserves.
The knock on the door suddenly sounded again, but it was a little softer.
Lin Mo frowned: "I said I know, no need to knock anymore."
There was another knock on the door, this time as light as a feather landing on the door.
Lin Mo's fingertips paused on the bow tie, and a slight crease appeared between his eyebrows.
"It's me."
The voice passed through the heavy door panel, still so light that it seemed like an illusion, but it sent a subtle electric current running through Lin Mo's spine.
He stared at the door handle for three seconds, and his suddenly tense jawline was reflected in the mirror.
Finally he stepped forward and opened the door.
"Captain Wenlayak?"
When he opened the door, Lin Mo's voice was a little hoarse than expected. "What's the matter?"
In the backlight of the corridor, the edges of Wen Layak's light blue hair were covered with a furry halo.
When he raised his eyelashes, Lin Mo saw that those blue eyes contained the entire sea before the storm - suffocating sadness surging beneath the calm.
"Mr. Lin Mo,"
Wenlaiak's eyes passed over Lin Mo's shoulder and fell on the dazzling pile of gifts in the house.
"Are we going to stand at the door and keep talking like this?"
Lin Mo's knuckles tightened on the door frame, and the expensive suit fabric formed sharp folds at the bend of his elbows.
He subconsciously turned around to look at the flowers all over the room. The bright red roses were emitting a sweet fragrance.
"Do you want to come in?"
Lin Mo looked around, and the sapphire on the brooch flashed a cold light, "It doesn't seem to be suitable."
The corners of Wenlaiak's lips curved into a broken arc, and the two rings on his hands gleamed faintly in the shadows:
"Sir Lin Mo, now... I can't even go in?"
"Captain, we are divorced." Lin Mo said softly.
These words were like a blunt knife, stabbing into Wenlayak's ribs, silently reminding him of the alienation between them and the end of all their warmth.
Wenlayak bit the soft flesh inside his mouth hard, and the taste of blood spread on the tip of his tongue.
Silence stretched at the door.
In the end, Lin Mo took a step back and finally compromised.
"Forget it, come in first."
When Lin Mo turned around, he didn't see Wen Laiyak's persistent and almost scorching gaze. That gaze was so sad that it was completely trembling.
Walking to the center of the dressing room, when Lin Mo turned around, the hem of his dress drew a sharp arc, like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath, lying between the two of them.
The faint sound of a wedding march drifting from outside the window gave Lin Mo's voice a layer of vague rhythm:
"Captain Wenlayak, what can I do for you?"
"If you have something to say, just say it."
A moment.
Wenlayak's body shook violently, as if he was hit in the chest by this formal name.
His light blue eyelashes trembled violently, and his eyes instantly turned red.
There was only one step between them, but it felt like there was an entire galaxy between them.
Wen Laiyak smiled, trying his best to remain decent, and the taste of rust could be tasted as his Adam's apple rolled.
His right hand unconsciously rubbed the ring on his ring finger. The metal was now as hot as a branding iron.
The rich rose scent in the locker room suddenly became pungent, reminding him of… the blue rose that Lin Mo placed next to his ear many years ago—it had long since withered in the pocket of his old military uniform.
Wen Laiyak took a half step back, and the heel of his military boots hit the dressing mirror behind him.
"Lin Mo,"
Wenlaiak's voice was hoarse and his eyes fell on Lin Mo's new wedding dress.
"Are you really going to marry... Master O'Berry?"
At this moment, cheers suddenly broke out outside the window, and the sound of the streamers exploding was like a miniature earthquake and tsunami.
Wenlaiak's shoulders trembled in shock, and only then did he see clearly that the wedding jacket embroidered with the Obedi family crest was hanging on the hanger behind Lin Mo.
The gorgeous gold embroidery deeply stung Wenlayak's eyes, and he finally remembered what day it was - his most beloved male insect seemed to be teaching him what "ex" meant in the cruelest way.
Their wedding was a thing of the past.
Lin Mo is going to marry another female insect.
Everything that was...will become the past.
A tear fell on the carpet and was immediately swallowed up by the expensive cashmere, silently.
When Wen Laiyak raised his hand to wipe his face, he found that Lin Mo's right hand was clenched into a fist, as if he wanted to raise his hand to wipe his tears, but - he put it down again.
Let it go.
How can I let it go?
How can I...let go completely?
Teach him, teach him, okay?
"Captain Wenlayak, today is my wedding day, and I don't want you to do anything."
Lin Mo raised his head and glanced around very subtly. Whether it was eavesdropping, surveillance or walls having ears, he knew that everything he said now would be heard by more than one person.
He can't say or do anything now. The real fun will only begin after the wedding vows.
So, Wenlayak can't be allowed to do anything.
Can't let it fall into danger.
Lin Mo's knuckles were clenched white, and his neatly trimmed nails dug deep into his palms, but the pain could not overwhelm the sourness surging in his chest.
He forced himself to stay where he was, watching Wenlaiak's tears fall one by one on the carpet, leaving dark marks.
"Master O'Berry and I have decided to get married, and today is our wedding."
Lin Mo's voice was steady and almost cruel, as if he was reading out a predetermined document.
"Captain Wenlayak, this is the reality today."
Hearing this, Wenlayak suddenly looked up, his blue eyes like a shattered ice lake, with crystal tears overflowing from the cracks.
His lips trembled, and a few broken breaths escaped from his throat: "Lin Mo, Lin Mo... I..."
Whatever you want to say, it's about to come out.
Lin Mo closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was only silence in his eyes.
He shook his head, his voice light but unquestionable:
"There's no need to say anything. If you have anything to say, let's do it next time."
"Today is a wedding that the Earl's Mansion attaches great importance to."
Lin Mo looked down at his watch. The cold light reflected from the metal dial made Wen Layak squint slightly.
"Captain Wenlayak, it's almost time. I'm leaving now."
When Lin Mo turned around, the hem of his dress swept across the back of Wenlaiak's hand like a ruthless blade.
Wen Laiyak subconsciously reached out his hand, but his fingertips only caught a little cold air.
"I wish you a nice day." Lin Mo said finally.
The male insect didn't look back. The moment he pushed open the door, the cheerful music outside rushed in like a tide, shattering the solidified sadness in the dressing room.
Wen Laiyak stood there, watching the door slowly close, and finally with a soft "click", it completely separated him from Lin Mo.
Outside the window, cannons roared and streamers filled the sky.
Wenlayak raised his hands to cover his eyes, but tears continued to flow out from between his fingers.
The ring on his hand gleamed faintly in the sunlight, and the name engraved on the inside had now become the deepest wound in his heart.
——
hall.
First floor.
Xirui finally arrived.
He felt that he might have developed a habit of checking out the spots - of course not, he just wanted to stay with Ranta for a while longer.
It's like a new marriage after a short separation, well, although... they are not married yet.
Ian and Hades didn't show up today.
The main reason was that Her Highness Hedis was pregnant, indeed, she was in the third trimester, so during this period, Ian would not show up if he could, and would not leave Her Highness if he could not leave her.
Although the occasion of Count Link's downfall should be quite interesting, Ian and Hades decided to stay at home and take care of the baby.
President Jin and the Second Prince are now completely indifferent to everything and are still on their honeymoon over there. It is even more impossible for them to appear here.
Louis and Perrance, as well as Hugo and Hoss, all came in an orderly manner, and Xirui felt that he was not too bored.
As for His Majesty Attaran?
Of course, I can't appear at this time. If I appear now, I will alert the enemy. I have to appear later.
Xirui came here mainly to get a feel for the terrain and construction sites, so that if there were any accidents, it wouldn't be too surprising.
When Xirui stepped into the auditorium, the light from the crystal chandelier was illuminating the entire space with golden splendor.
The guests' luxurious dresses shone with various colors under the lights, like a floating galaxy.
He walked through the crowd with one hand in his pocket, his black boots making lazy sounds on the red carpet, making him stand out among the dignified nobles.
“This way!”
Xiu Wen's loud voice came from the right. Xirui raised an eyebrow and looked over to see his brother waving at him with a grin on his face.
The guy was wearing a white suit today, so he was easier to recognize.
Xirui squeezed into the reserved seat without hesitation and crossed his long legs.
The leather seats creaked under the weight, causing several noble females in the front row to look back in dissatisfaction. However, when they saw who it was, they immediately blushed and turned back.
"Xirui! Long time no see!"
Xu Wen smiled so hard that his teeth were showing, and the wedding ring on his left ring finger shone brightly under the light. The seat to his left was occupied by Xirui, but the seat to his right was empty.
"Brother said he will be here soon."
When Xiu Wen talked about his female lord, his whole body exuded the sour smell of love, and even the ends of his hair stood up with extra joy.
Xirui was speechless, his eyes fell on the ring on Xiu Wen's hand, and he rubbed the goose bumps on his arm:
"Tsk, you have a nice smile...that one."
He deliberately moved half an inch to the side, but bumped into Louis who had just taken a seat.
"Xirui? You're here too. Long time no see."
Louis was wearing a light blue suit and holding the silver-haired Pearlance in his arms.
The latter pushed up his silver-rimmed glasses, his fingers under his silk gloves elegantly resting on Louis's arm, his tone containing a hint of good-natured teasing:
"Greetings, Lord Xirui, but...even we have heard the recent rumors about you and His Majesty."
"uh-huh?"
Xirui was about to say something when the auditorium suddenly became dark.
A spotlight hit the end of the aisle, and the wedding march suddenly sounded.
Xiu Wen suddenly lowered his voice:
"I heard that Commander Wenlaiak is here today."
Xirui followed his gaze and found a hint of light blue hair in the corner. The legion commander was clutching the armrest of the chair tightly, his knuckles were white and blue, and his face had a very bad expression.
Hiss, ah this.
I almost forgot that Wen Laiyak and Lin Mo had several affairs.
——Wait a minute... nothing unexpected will happen, right?
