Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 92 An Unexpected Incident at the Wedding
The host continued rambling on, and then it came to the ring-wearing part. According to the local custom, the man only needs to put the ring on the woman's finger, which means that he will be with her from now on, and they will love each other and grow old together.

Xiao Jiayang spared no expense; the enormous diamond ring was so dazzling it could almost blind anyone, gleaming brilliantly under the lights.

Ah Lie stood in the corner, staring coldly at the soon-to-be brides on the stage, his hand slowly moving back to grip the dagger at his waist.

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Xiao Jiayang lifted Nan Wu's hand and slowly slipped the wedding ring onto her middle finger.

Just then, darkness suddenly enveloped everything.

Ah Lie paused as he stepped onto the stage, instinctively looking up.

There was a moment of silence, followed by a burst of noise.

"It's so dark, what happened?"

"It seems there's a power outage!"

"Such a big hotel, how could it make such a mistake? Unbelievable!"

Hey, don't step on me!

"Oh my god, I think I bumped into something!"

Supported by her maid, Chen Wanru exclaimed, "It's a mess! Everything's in chaos! Quick, get the maintenance department to check what's going on! This is my son's big day, how are they all working? Don't they want to work anymore?"

Xiao Jiayang held out his hands and patted her back and forth, saying, "Xiao Wu, don't be afraid, I'm here, I'll protect you!"

"Snapped!"

"Who's touching me? You pervert!"

Not only did Xiao Jiayang fail to find Nan Wu, but he also got slapped in the face for no reason.

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, where are you?"

bass!
Just two minutes later, the hotel lobby was lit up again.

"Jiayang, are you alright?" Chen Wanru rushed to her son's side with concern. "I've already instructed the hotel's maintenance department to ensure there won't be any more problems. My son is fine; it was just a minor incident!"

"Mom, don't talk about that now, Xiaowu is missing, we need to find her quickly!"

Chen Wanru was stunned. "What? Nan Wu is missing? That's impossible. It's pitch black. Where could she have gone?"

"Someone, quickly find the young mistress! If you can't find her, don't come back!"

"Yes!"

Over here, Xiao Ruonan was stepped on several times by the flustered guests, her ankles were red and swollen, and the skin was broken.

"Fifth Miss!" Ah Lie finally found her.

Before she could even stand up straight, Xiao Ruonan slapped her across the face.

Ah Lie's face was slapped to the side. He turned back and looked at her with his dark eyes.

Snapped!
Another slap.

Ah Lie neither resisted nor questioned, silently enduring as if it were his mission and duty.

"Where have you been? Why are you only arriving now?" Xiao Ruonan questioned sharply, completely devoid of the sweet and adorable demeanor she usually displays.

As was his training habit, Ah Lie stood ramrod straight, as upright as a pine tree. "I'm sorry, Miss Fifth, I'm late!"

Seeing the five-finger mark on his face, Xiao Ruonan opened her mouth, but being as proud as she was, it was impossible for her to lower her head and speak softly.

"I'll let you off this time, but if there's a next time, I'll break your legs and make sure you can't run around like that!"

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and help me into the car!"

Ah Lie ignored her advice and took it upon himself to carry the person to the chair.

"Ah Lie, what are you doing?"

hiss!
Ah Lie tore a piece of cloth from his thin clothes, knelt down on one knee, picked up Xiao Ruonan's injured foot and placed it on his own leg, then performed a simple bandage.

"It's bleeding, it could get infected. Don't pull it off before you get to the hospital!"

The man's bandaging technique was skillful and professional, with a firm yet gentle touch. His profile was cold and resolute, and his forearm was strong and powerful.

Xiao Ruonan had accidentally seen him swimming shirtless. His wheat-colored skin was wild and his muscles were evenly distributed. He exuded an unruly stubbornness.

Xiao Ruonan had many bodyguards, but only this one left a deep impression on her. "Don't forget, I'm the master, don't try to order me around!" Xiao Ruonan kicked him away, got up unceremoniously, and limped away.

Ah Lie glanced back at the high platform where Nan Wu had stood, then followed in Xiao Ruonan's footsteps.

at the same time.

Nan Wu pulled off the clothes covering her head and looked at the man in front of her who was slowly smoking. She wasn't surprised. "Fourth Master, you..."

"What, are you unhappy?" Xiao Shen took off his cigarette butt and tapped it lightly against the window a few times.

"No, Fourth Master, this is my wedding. If you suddenly take me away like this, they'll be worried. No, I have to go back; I can still make it!"

What a joke! This is the wedding of the eldest son of the Xiao family. If she is taken away for no reason, wouldn't the scene be in complete chaos?
If she wasn't mistaken, the entire Xiao family was definitely looking for her.

Xiao Jiayang can choose not to marry, and she can choose not to enter the Xiao family, but she must see her maternal grandmother. This is her only chance, and her last chance.

Xiao Shen's handsome face darkened. Although he didn't yell or shout, his prominent jawline spoke volumes about his attitude.

"You really want to marry Xiao Jiayang that badly?"

"I..." Nan Wu hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

There are some things she can't say.

Having accepted her silence as confirmation, Xiao Shen smiled instead of getting angry.

This smile left Nan Wu completely bewildered, and even made her feel uneasy.

"Haozi, open the door for her!"

Click!

The car door locks were unlocked.

Xiao Shen raised his chin. "Get lost!"

Looking out the window at the cars going in the opposite direction and their increasingly rapid speeds, Nan Wu couldn't help but shiver.

If she were to jump, even if she were impenetrable, she would be either killed or seriously injured.

Xiao Shen, you bastard, why don't you jump?

"Do you think you still have a way out?" The man's assertive question pulled Nan Wu back from her fear.

She glanced down at the white veil she was wearing, feeling an indescribable sense of helplessness and powerlessness.

Yes, from the moment Xiao Shen took her away, it was destined that she could never go back.

The bride-to-be disappeared at the wedding, only to return an hour later. Heaven knows what happened? The guests won't wait for her, and neither will the Xiao family.

This wedding has undoubtedly made the Xiao family the biggest joke, and Nan Wu bears an inescapable responsibility. Even if she is willing to continue the wedding, the Xiao family will reconsider.

Not only the Xiao family, but even the Nan family wouldn't let it go like that.

Nan Wu turned her head and glared at the man who was doing whatever he wanted, her face full of resentment and grievance.

It was all his fault that disrupted her plans and ruined her life.

The car drove towards the outskirts. Xiao Shen owned many properties, but apart from the Palace Garden, this one was the one he liked the most, not for any other reason than that he liked peace and quiet.

Like the palace gardens, this is a detached villa, free from any restrictions. The road in front of the villa is lined with birch trees, and going uphill leads to the mountaintop.

Few vehicles pass by here, and occasionally you might see a travel enthusiast. The air is fresh, the woods are dense, and the slightest noise will startle the birds resting on the branches and send them flying away in a flurry.

The decor here is very similar to that of the palace gardens, with all kinds of furniture and appliances. Xiao Shen doesn't stay here often, but servants come to clean every day. There are fresh sunflowers in a crystal bottle on the table, men's and women's slippers in the shoe cabinet, and an ashtray on the coffee table.

Everywhere you look, you can feel the warmth of life.

Nan Wu stood there, curiously looking around.

Xiao Shen's mystery inspires a desire to peer into his life and uncover everything about him.

Xiao Shen stepped onto the stairs, but not seeing Nan Wu follow, he subconsciously turned around. "Don't be surprised, I'll let you experience what it's like to do it here at the party!"

Nan Wu “…”

Can't you die without telling dirty jokes?
