Chapter 225 - 225 So, Are You Going to Kill Me?
225 So, Are You Going to Kill Me?
The wedding of the century was held in the capital’s most famous and extravagant manor.
On both sides of the red carpet, a dense crowd of reporters gathered.
Almost all the important people in the capital attended the banquet. There were many guests in the manor, and laughter could be heard faintly.
Sang Qianqian stood by the window and looked at the media and guests for a long time.
Then, she turned around and opened the door.
As expected, there were two men standing guard outside the door.
“I want to see Xie Shi’an,” Sang Qianqian said.
The men were stunned. “Young Master An is entertaining the guests with Master Cheng. It’s not time for the ceremony yet…”
According to customs, the bride should stay in the room and wait.
Sang Qianqian repeated. “I want to see Xie Shi’an. Please help me call him over.”
They hesitated for a moment, but in the end, they were still afraid that something had happened to Sang Qianqian, so one of the men left in a hurry.
Xie Shi’an arrived very quickly and entered the room.
They went in for a long time, until the emcee knocked on the door. Sang Qianqian then came out holding Xie Shi’an’s arm.
The stage for the wedding ceremony was quite a distance away from the guests.
The red carpet was very long. The sun was shining brightly, and the sea of flowers and the crowd entered his eyes.
Sang Qianqian was in a daze for a moment, but it was only for a moment.
In the guest seats, Shao Jin bent over slightly and said in a low voice, “Master Cheng, I can see that Sang Qianqian’s attitude towards Shi’an is not as awkward as I thought. The wedding hadn’t even started yet, but she had already called Shi’an over. Moreover, the two of them had spent a long time in the room. Look at Sang Qianqian, she’s hugging Shi’an’s arm so tightly that she’s practically clinging onto him.”
“Shi’an was once Sang Qianqian’s first boyfriend,” he said with a smile. “I can tell that Sang Qianqian still has some feelings for him.”
Previously, he was still worried that Sang Qianqian would not cooperate. But now, it seemed that there was no need to.
Ruan Cheng looked up at the newlyweds.
He didn’t know if Sang Qianqian was nervous or what, but from the moment they walked on the red carpet, she had been holding Xie Shi’an’s arm tightly.
He did not trust Sang Qianqian as much as Shao Jin did. “It’s better to have someone keep an eye on her. There can’t be any mistakes in this wedding.”
“Don’t worry, Master Cheng,” Shao Jin replied respectfully, “The people who have been keeping an eye on her all said that there’s nothing unusual. She’s just going through the motions of the wedding and won’t have the chance to get close to anyone. She won’t be allowed to speak when they come up to the stage, either.”
The ceremony soon reached the stage where the newbies would give their speeches.
The host held the microphone and walked toward the groom with a smile.
Sang Qianqian’s palms were covered in cold sweat, and her voice was so low that it could not be heard. “Shi’an, do you still remember what you wanted to say?”
“I remember,” Xie Shi’an said, his gaze somewhat blank.
“Yes, Shi’an. Speak properly. Don’t disappoint me, okay?”
A strangely gentle voice sounded in his ears. Xie Shi’an felt as if he was in a state of chaos, and only this voice gave him guidance.
“I won’t let you down,” he subconsciously replied.
Below the stage, the crowd stared at the pair of newlyweds without blinking.
The groom was handsome and elegant, while the bride’s face was covered with a veil. One could only imagine how beautiful she was under the veil.
Time seemed to have stopped in that instant, and the air seemed to have stopped flowing.
Everyone was waiting for the groom’s speech.
Ruan Cheng’s gaze never left Xie Shi’an. He was too far away to see her expression. He could only see that Sang Qianqian was still holding onto Xie Shi’an’s arm, almost snuggling up to his side as she stood there quietly.
In the eyes of others, this kind of unconscious reliance and intimacy was the embodiment of the love between the newlyweds. However, in Ruan Cheng’s eyes, there was a trace of suspicion.
He recalled Shao Jin saying that Sang Qianqian had called Xie Shi’an over before the wedding ceremony, and the two of them had been intimate in the room for a long time.
He thought back to the video where Xie Shi’an had taken the initiative to confess everything to Sang Qianqian, resulting in him having to stay at the police station for seven days and Cui Xu being locked up.
Ruan Cheng’s heart tightened for no reason. “Shao Jin, go and tell the emcee to cancel the newcomer’s speech.”
Shao Jin was surprised. “But this is an important part of the wedding…”
Ruan Cheng’s face darkened!
Shao Jin didn’t dare to say anything more and quickly left.
The host had already passed the microphone to Xie Shi’an. Xie Shi’an’s movements were a little stiff as he reached out to grab it. However, all of a sudden, a voice came from the host’s headset.
The next second, he pulled back the microphone.
Sang Qianqian’s heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
The emcee smiled and said, “I almost forgot. Before that, the groom has a surprise for the bride. Please look up.”
In the sky, several small jet planes were flying in circles, and the white smoke formed four words in the blue sky, “I love you, Qianqian.”
Along with these five words, a heart was pierced by a small arrow. Thunderous applause and cheers were heard everywhere as they witnessed the groom’s romantic gesture to the bride.
The guests’ attention was attracted by the plane in the sky. Few people noticed that a group of bodyguards in suits and leather shoes escorted the new couple down the stage and into a room.
The door was closed. Inside, Ruan Cheng was sitting on the chair with a cold expression.
Xie Shi’an stood there with a dazed look, as if he was sleepwalking. Shao Jin called him a few times, but he did not respond.
“What the hell did you do to Shi’an?”
Shao Jin pulled Sang Qianqian away from Xie Shi’an. “Did you give him some medicine or did you hypnotize him again?”
Sang Qianqian pursed her lips and did not say anything.
“Sang Qianqian, Shi’an may have tender and protective feelings for women, but I don’t.”
Shao Jin’s fingers were like hooks as he grabbed Sang Qianqian’s wrist and twisted it with great force. “I’ll ask you again. If you don’t answer, I’ll break your hand.”
Sang Qianqian’s face was pale from the pain as she gritted her teeth. “Hypnosis.”
“How do we wake him up?”
“He’ll wake up naturally after a nap.”
Shao Jin finally let go of her hand. On Sang Qianqian’s slender wrist, there were five red fingerprints, and her bones were in excruciating pain.
“You’re really f*cking bold. I was wondering why you insisted on Shi’an to make a big deal out of it. Turns out that you really had ulterior motives!”
Shao Jin stared at Sang Qianqian and sneered. “What are you trying to do by hypnotizing Shi’an? You wanted him to expose Master Cheng again in front of all the media and guests? You’re really f*cking tired of living!”
The people who came today were all influential and important people in the capital. More importantly, there was a live broadcast by the media.
If it weren’t for Master Cheng realizing that something was amiss and canceling the speech segment in time, Xie Shi’an would’ve said things at the wedding that would bear unimaginable consequences.
“Sang Qianqian, you’re a little smarter than your brother. You know how to give in and make use of Shi’an’s feelings for you.”
Ruan Cheng said coldly, “It’s a pity that you won’t be able to do anything here. Shi’an likes you, but that’s not a protective talisman. If you want to live, you’d better be tactful.”
“But I just don’t know what’s good for me.”
Sang Qianqian gave a light smile. “So, Ruan Cheng, are you going to kill me?”
