Chapter 169: Marriage Certificate and Vows
"Yao'er, why are you here? Didn't mother forbid you to come?"
The third young master of the Jun family held Jun Yao's wrist tightly, preventing her from taking even a single step into the inner house.
His sister was such a proud person, and now that things had come to this, he didn't want her to bring herself into disgrace again.
A layer of frost formed on Jun Yao's cold and beautiful face. "Brother, I am unwilling to accept this and must seek an explanation."
"Don't you know his character? He will never be shaken by you. Why do you have to humiliate yourself like this?" The third young master advised earnestly.
Jun Yao's face was filled with determination. "Today, I must get to the bottom of this."
After saying this, she broke free from her brother's restraints and resolutely walked into the inner courtyard.
Although there were many female relatives coming and going today, Miss Jun, wearing a red fox cloak, was still particularly eye-catching.
Some people who knew the inside story all cast gossipy glances.
Jun Yao seemed not to see it and walked straight inside.
When she saw Xie Xuan in his scarlet wedding gown, standing proudly and elegantly, the feelings that had been suppressed in her heart for so long surged out like a tide.
A trace of stubbornness hung on her beautiful face. "She has no feelings for you at all, why did you marry her?"
Xie Xuan's eyes were like the ice on the top of a snowy mountain, so cold that it seemed as if they could freeze everything in the world.
When she looked at me directly, I felt a chill running straight into my heart.
"This prince has made it clear that I do not want to see you again. You are not to appear before this prince and the princess in the future."
Seeing that he was avoiding the main point, Jun Yao sneered, "Do you think that if you save her family, she will fall in love with you?"
She approached him step by step, her words sharp as arrows, "She simply cannot accept the cruelty in your heart. Xie Xuan, you and I are of the same kind. Only I can stand shoulder to shoulder with you and share the ups and downs of this world."
Xie Xuan's narrow and long phoenix pupils narrowed slightly, and his dark eyes were as bottomless as an abyss, making people feel depressed.
Jun Yao breathed slightly, looking at the cold eyes that could devour all her hopes, as if once she fell into them, there would be no way back.
But she still trembled, offering the deepest affection in her heart like a sacrifice, "Xie Xuan, I have loved you for ten years... I am the only one who knows the endurance you have endured for revenge, and I am the only one who will help you at all costs. But I, Su Shengsheng, besides causing you trouble, what else can I do for you?"
That day, Heng Hongbo's blood was spilled on his body, but he did not feel any relief after revenge.
Instead, there is endless darkness and endless cold.
He had no idea of the meaning of protection, and had never experienced the joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness that ordinary people should have.
At that moment, his heart was empty...
Until her appearance, he saw a glimmer of beauty in the evil of human nature, and his life was no longer a cold corpse.
"Don't appear in front of me again." Xie Xuan withdrew his thoughts from the memories and spoke coldly.
Today is a new beginning for them, and Xie Xuan doesn't want her to ruin his mood.
Seeing that he was about to turn around and leave, Jun Yao finally let go of all her pride and reached out her hand in a desperate attempt to keep him.
However, Xie Xuan pushed her away fiercely, his phoenix eyes full of annoyance.
He ripped off the black cloak she had touched and threw it to the ground. "From now on, don't let me see you again."
Looking at the cloak thrown on the ground, Jun Yao looked at Xie Xuan's departing back and suddenly burst into laughter.
She was badly injured, and the tears in her eyes gradually froze into ice, replaced by burning flames.
"Xie Xuan, one day, you will come to beg me!"
…
"Why are you sleeping here?"
Half asleep and half awake, Su Shengsheng felt a gust of hot wind blowing past her ears.
She tried hard to open her heavy eyelids, but they seemed to be glued together.
"Haven't you gotten enough sleep yet?"
This time, the sound was closer, and it felt like warm fingers were brushing her cheek.
Suddenly, she was embraced in an embrace as solid as a fortress, and the familiar and rich agarwood instantly made her wake up.
Seeing her looking at him intently, Xie Xuan smiled softly, "There's still the most important step to take."
Su Shengsheng's mind was filled with alarm bells, and she stammered, trying to find an excuse, "I... I..."
However, his mind, which was not yet fully awake, seemed to be stuck.
The smile on his face grew even wider, as if the morning light had just broken through the clouds, pouring down as brilliantly as the northern lights, exuding a hint of tenderness.
Su Shengsheng stood there in a daze. Before she could struggle, she found herself being gently carried to the desk by him.
On it was a marriage certificate...
Su Shengsheng hammered his dizzy head and remembered that they had not followed the formal procedures at all.
In other words, she and he are not officially married yet...
He did not put her down, but let her sit on his lap, then took the brush from the pen holder.
Light and elegant strokes were slowly drawn on the marriage certificate, and every line seemed to be expressing an unswerving vow.
From this angle, she could only see his almost divine profile, as distant and intimidating as a star in a phantom sea.
It was not until he put the pen in her hand that Su Shengsheng regained her consciousness.
Now is her only chance to regret...
However, the imperial edict, which was like an insurmountable chasm, weighed on her head like a huge rock.
At this moment, Su Shengsheng seemed to have left her body, quietly looking down at the two people under the red candlelight, signing the marriage certificate.
"Su Shengsheng." Xie Xuan whispered her name, "Having you in this life is enough for me."
With a sigh, he gently held the back of her head and held her slightly hesitant face in his arms.
Xie Xuan's slightly drunk face came into view, and the thoughts running through Su Shengsheng's mind came to an abrupt halt.
She could only hear her own voice, echoing faintly in the room lit by red candles, "I'm so sleepy... I..."
She tried to find a lame excuse, but before she could finish her words, he grabbed her by the waist and picked her up.
Su Shengsheng's hands and feet were stiff and her eyes were trembling.
When he put her on the couch and saw that he was about to untie her wedding dress, Su Shengsheng held the collar tightly and asked, "Why are you taking off my clothes?"
Doesn't he know how their marriage came about?
Xie Xuan's eyes were deep and dark. "I got the ointment and wanted to see your wound."
Su Shengsheng said angrily: "I can just apply it myself!"
We are all adults, how can we just look at the wound?
At that moment, Su Shengsheng seriously suspected that he was belittling her IQ.
Su Shengsheng wanted to escape his trap and get out from under his long arms, but he wouldn't let her get up, and instead pressed closer to her...
Close enough, she could see something flowing in his eyes...
Before she could come to her senses, she was stunned by Xie Xuan's sudden kiss, and her eyes widened instantly.
She whimpered and struggled, and he was gentle at first, but soon he erupted like a volcano, sweeping down with a force that destroyed everything.
The aroma of the wine is as hot as a flame, instantly invading the senses, rich and deep, domineeringly occupying every inch of the air.
Until the red mole was marked by him like a brand, Su Shengsheng broke free and waved her hand in annoyance.
“Pah.”
The crisp sound of slapping echoed in the empty room.
She must have been very brave to hit him.
Xie Xuan's stunned expression for a moment, even if it was just a frozen expression, made Su Shengsheng tremble with fear.
OK, she admitted she hit it a little hard...
This is completely different from the marriage with Ji Yanli that was arranged by her parents.
She had no preparation at all, nor did she intend to prepare...
The room suddenly fell silent, so long that she thought he would continue regardless of her wishes...
Seeing the resistance and rejection in her eyes, Xie Xuan slowly rolled off her.
"Sorry." He pulled the quilt over her and said, "Go to sleep."
The dormitory fell silent again, with only the half-burned red candle flickering quietly.
