Chapter 2



Lin Qiong ran wildly through the corridor, oblivious to the luxurious and bustling surroundings.

If we don't run now, we'll be dead!

I ran at almost the same speed I used when I did the 1,000-meter run in my high school physical fitness test, but the corridor seemed endless.

Lin Qiong was slightly out of breath from running.

This corridor is damn long!

His heart was pounding, as if a thousand groundhogs were swarming inside him. There were many rooms in this corridor, and if he didn't run fast, someone would come out soon and he wouldn't have a chance to escape.

Soon, Lin Qiong noticed a European-style door at the front of the corridor, with a faint light shining through the glass window above it.

No! That's not light.

It is the holy light of Jesus!

He can regain his freedom and look forward to a new life if he just runs away!

A smile appeared on Lin Qiong's face. "Lord!"

"Alright! Xingyun and I have been brothers for so many years. Just because he was framed and brought down, I'm going to stay far away from him?" Li Hanyang said impatiently to his parents on the other end of the phone.

Before Fu Xingyun's accident, he was in charge of the Fu family. However, after he suffered a stroke six months ago and became paralyzed, his father, along with his half-brother and shareholders, began to exploit and plunder everything Fu Xingyun owned.

Fu Xingyun was seriously injured and knew that he might never be able to stand up again for the rest of his life. He was unable to accept it and became depressed. His temper also became strange and unpredictable.

Fu Changjing then used his eldest son's mental state as an excuse to have his younger son, Fu Jinghong, take over the affairs of Fu Xingyun. In addition, some of the company's old shareholders had long been displeased with Fu Xingyun because he was always being suppressed by the young and ambitious man. With Fu Changjing's help, Fu Xingyun's power was quickly stripped away.

Although he is still nominally employed by the company, it's just an empty title. Those in the industry are all old foxes who have long seen that Fu Xingyun is no longer as illustrious as before, and they are wise enough to distance themselves from him.

Even though Fu Xingyun is getting married today, and everyone received an invitation, very few people actually came.

"If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up." Li Hanyang impatiently hung up the phone, irritably running his fingers through his hair.

Take a deep breath.

It's a joyous occasion for my brother; we should be happy.

Li Hanyang walked to the door and just opened it.

A white figure flashed by, laughing wildly.

Li Hanyang: ...

For a moment, Li Hanyang thought he was seeing things, then he heard a loud "bang," and all that remained at the entrance to the corridor was a double door that was flapping back and forth like butterfly wings due to inertia.

Lin Qiong pushed open the door and leaped into the air. He was free; now, no one could restrain him except the law.

However, after running only a few steps, his path was blocked by a tall white wall.

Lin Qiong: ?

This was somewhat different from what he had expected.

Lin Qiong looked at the wall in front of her, then turned her head, her body jolted, and her eyes widened slightly.

Before him stood an enormous church, majestic and solemn, sacred and inviolable. Lin Qiong had never seen such a magnificent building before, and for a moment he was speechless with astonishment.

In his past life, he was just an ordinary person in the marketplace, one of the masses. Even when he saw these things, he would only glance at them briefly on television.

Lin Qiong stared at the church in front of her, unable to look away for a moment.

This is also...

That's awesome!!!

Lin Qiong tilted his head back like a stray dog, the huge, towering building in front of him overwhelming his vision, but he quickly shook his head.

Now is not the time to admire the scenery; he needs to run out now.

Lin Qiong walked around the high wall, trying to find an exit, but he had no sense of direction and ended up walking back to where he started.

Lin Qiong: ...

It's amazing.

Lin Qiong's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly. The terrain outside the church was too complicated for a country bumpkin like him to get out.

He turned his head to look at the door he had rushed out of earlier; it seemed to be the only way he could go.

Lin Qiong leaned against the wall, looking tired. Her eyes were slightly lowered, and her once neatly combed hair was now disheveled with a few strands falling across her forehead. Then, as if she had just thought of something, her body suddenly trembled.

Lin Qiong had been blinded by fear of the villain, but now that she had calmed down, she realized what had happened.

Even if he ran away, he would still be doomed.

The first major blunder by the cannon fodder in the book in front of the villain was running away from his wedding, leaving Fu Xingyun alone to be ridiculed and utterly humiliated at the wedding.

Lin Qiong stood there, feeling as cold as a September winter day, even though it was summer.

Then Lin Qiong raised a section of her fair middle finger to the sky.

Nothing much, I just want to mess around with this world.

Lin Qiong stood there helplessly, not knowing where to go. There were many flowers growing on the lawn outside the church. She couldn't name the species, so she just called them wildflowers.

He reached out and picked a flower, "Go back... no... go back..."

Petals fell one by one before my eyes~

Looking at the last petal on the branch, Lin Qiong took a deep breath. "Let's go back."

Lin Qiong looked at the flower core that she had plucked bare, and for a moment she felt a little lost.

Then his mind started racing. If he ran away now, he would be doomed and wouldn't be able to escape anyway. Going back and changing the original plot in the book might allow him to live a little longer.

Lin Qiong's eyes suddenly lit up. That's right! As long as he doesn't act recklessly like the original owner, he might be able to survive the villain's attack.

After all, the people who took revenge on Fu Xingyun after he turned his life around were the ones who had kicked him when he was down during his paralysis.

Lin Qiong rallied his spirits. Although he had no future in this life that was now like a dog's chewed-up body, he was willing to live one day at a time.

He then straightened his white suit, determined to make a good impression on the villain.

But Lin Qiong quickly wilted, like a seedling that had just sprouted and had its leaves plucked bare.

Even before he had a chance to control his body after transmigrating, he had already made a first impression on the villain.

A man can't say no!

But that mouth only ever talks about that aspect.

Although Fu Xingyun's expression remained unchanged, this cunning old fox who pretended to be weak was definitely already holding a grudge in his heart.

Lin Qiong couldn't understand it for a moment. Since he had already starved to death before, why was he brought back to life to die again?

Maybe this is just God's wicked sense of humor, haha.

Lin Qiong looked down at her white dress, the fabric and workmanship of which were exquisite and meticulous.

Looking at the clothes I'm wearing, it's as if countless zeros are jumping wildly before my eyes—ones, tens, hundreds, thousands…

Lin Qiong took a deep breath.

It was worth it!

Lin Qiong, who had been looking like a wilted eggplant, suddenly perked up, but just as she was about to enter the room, she realized something was wrong.

Why isn't he wearing a flower on his chest for the wedding?

Lin Qiong didn't know what weddings for rich people were like, but when he attended a banquet, the groom would always wear a flower pinned to his chest.

Although he mainly attended banquets, he still paid attention to some things.

Lin Qiong recalled that Fu Xingyun didn't seem to have any chest area either, then turned her head to look at the wall.

Unnamed wildflowers: ...

"Xiao Qiong!" Fu Jinghong searched the church thoroughly, inside and out, and finally found Lin Qiong under a white wall.

Lin Qiong was crouching down, holding a bunch of wildflowers in her hand, her small mouth opening and closing as she muttered something...

Fu Jinghong stepped forward.

"Don't pick the wildflowers by the roadside, they're a waste if you don't pick them..."

Fu Jinghong: ...

Fu Jinghong forced himself to regain his composure. What he needed to do now was to elope with Lin Qiong and make his older brother suffer humiliation and ridicule at the wedding.

Before he was recognized by the Fu family when he was a child, he and Lin Qiong went to the same kindergarten by chance. Later, when he learned that Fu Xingyun was going to marry Lin Qiong, he found an opportunity to meet Lin Qiong.

Lin Qiong had no recollection of who the other person was, but Fu Jinghong lied and claimed that Lin Qiong had saved him when he was a child. He had kept it in his heart and developed feelings for her, constantly showering her with sweet words and luxury gifts.

Fortunately, Lin Qiong wasn't very bright, and she was easily fooled by the valuable items in front of her.

In the week leading up to the wedding, Fu Jinghong went to great lengths to please Lin Qiong, all in order to embarrass Fu Xingyun today.

"Xiao Qiong!"

Lin Qiong, who was picking wildflowers on the ground, was pulled up.

She looked at the man in front of her with a blank expression.

Who are you?

Lin Qiong hadn't quite recovered yet when she heard the man's mouth start talking like a machine gun, "Xiao Qiong, I've finally found you!"

"I know you don't want to marry my older brother, it's all my fault for being powerless to stop it all."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and angrily punched the wall.

Lin Qiong: ...

He seems to know who this idiot is...

The domineering CEO in romance novels, Fu Jinghong is the villain's half-brother and also the adulterer who cuckolds the villain!

Lin Qiong glanced at him, then quickly distanced herself from the other person.

Don't try to have fun with me, it's not as fun as your sister-in-law's methods.

To everyone's surprise, the other person didn't notice the disgust on Lin Qiong's face at all. He stepped forward and grabbed Lin Qiong's wrist, saying, "Xiao Qiong, let me take you away to a place where it's just the two of us. Only death can separate us."

That's the taste...

"Actually, I..."

"Trust me, I will get you out of here."

"that……"

Fu Jinghong talked to himself, and Lin Qionghou had no chance to interrupt.

Then, Fu Jinghong pulled Lin Qiong up the wall in a few quick movements.

"Xiaoqiong, look, the outside world is so big, there's bound to be a place for us."

Lin Qiong: ...

"Actually, I'm going back to marry your brother."

"lie!"

Lin Qiong: ...

"Xiaoqiong, I won't allow you to deceive yourself like this, to deceive the feelings between us."

This person seems to have that serious illness...

"I don't."

"Alright," Fu Jinghong said, pressing his finger against Lin Qiong's lips. "I understand, I get it."

You know nothing!

"The wedding is about to start, or we'll be discovered if we don't leave soon."

You know the wedding is about to start, and if I don't leave now, I'll miss it.

Lin Qiong didn't have time to waste with him here, and turned to jump back, but Fu Jinghong grabbed her and started playing the emotional card.

"Xiao Qiong, do you remember when I was little and no one played with me in kindergarten, and you were the only one who sang for me?"

"I still remember that song: 'Little swallows wear flowery clothes, coming here every spring. I ask the swallows, why do you come... Ah!!!'"

Unable to bear it any longer, Lin Qiong kicked the person off the wall.

"Yanzi said his mother should mind her own business."
