C35

In the end, she still put her trembling hand into the palm of her hand. The moment his fingers closed around her, a poem that he had once seen suddenly appeared in her mind:

"Who, who dares to take my hand, restrains me from the madness of half a lifetime;"

Who, kiss my eyes, cover me half of my life exile;

Who, caress my face, comfort me half life sorrow;

Who, with my heart, melt my half life frost;

Who, hold my shoulder, drive my life silent.

She was held by his hand, standing beside him on the altar with the strength of his strong and steady hand. Her thoughts were immersed in the long and tiresome poem just now, and the desire to be protected that belonged to a little woman became a mess for a moment.

In a trance she heard the deep, cadaverous voice of the priest, echoing in the silent church, reciting what she called a vow, and then she heard his thin voice in her ear, quiet, unhurried, neither haughty nor haughty: I will!

After a moment of blankness, she lowered her head and softly said two words: I'm willing!

He was holding a dazzling diamond ring, holding her white hand and about to put her finger on it. Her slender fingers slightly bent and stiffly resisted the ring's wear.

The ancient Egyptians believed that the blood of the ring finger was the direct introduction of the heart of love, and that the pledge made on the ring finger will be deeply embedded in the heart and will be remembered for life.

And now, she thought, they were ill-suited for such a sacred and solemn gesture, so she resisted.

He obviously hadn't expected to meet her resistance. A flash of annoyance passed over his handsome face, and with the slightest effort of his large hand, her fingers were immediately pressed straight, the ring slipped between them, and there was a long, warm applause, a sharp contrast to the sadness in her heart.

She had always thought she was indifferent to the wedding, but she had ignored the small details.

The things that should have been done with her loved ones, now with a stranger, hurt her a little and made her a bloody mess.

Later, when the priest said the bridegroom could kiss the bride, he smiled and gently lifted her veil, and she was satisfied to see the flash of disgust in his eyes.

Yes, that human skin mask could not withstand the corrosion of any cosmetics, so she was unable to wear it today. She had to put on extremely thick makeup, thick black eyeliner, and exaggerated smoke, making herself look like a woman walking out of a nightclub.

Her originally delicate and pretty face was now completely unrecognizable. It was likely that after taking off that layer of makeup, no one would be able to recognize her. Those people must have been shocked because of her lineup.

He just gave her a symbolic kiss and she lowered her head and smiled to herself. Since he insisted on such a high-profile marriage, she could only do the same.

Everyone thought that Second Young Master Gu would choose a beautiful wife, but they didn't expect her to be like this. She wasn't beautiful, but at the very least she should have a clean temperament.

After lifting the veil, she could no longer put it down, so she wore a face full of makeup as she followed beside him to accept the blessings of her family and friends. She no longer cared about the teasing of Mu Lingfeng and Mu Xiyan, nor about the curiosity and even disappointment of the crowd.

However, could this man not use so much strength? One of her hands was tightly grasped by him, his strength was frightening, he was about to crush her bones, pain attacked again and again, but she couldn't open her mouth to beg for mercy, and she had to face the crowd with a face full of smiles.

What was this? The punishment for her dress today? Fine, fine, she accepted. As long as no one could recognize her, he would punish her.

At the wedding banquet tonight.

She had changed into a fiery-red qipao, which he had also chosen for her. It was a perfect fit for her, displaying her exquisite figure perfectly. However, her face made people feel intimidated when they looked at her, but her makeup still hadn't changed in the day.

Standing at the entrance to greet the guests, she was surprised to see that Luo Xintong was walking towards her with a smile on his face, holding the arm of a middle-aged man.

Her heart, which had been frozen all day, was suddenly warmed by the sudden appearance of her good friend. She stared at her in surprise, feeling the tip of her nose tingling.

She remembered what Lo Shinton had promised her on the eve of their marriage,

"Xiao Yan, how can I let you stand alone in such an environment with no help? I will definitely be your strongest shield!"

She knew that she had a close friend by her side who didn't even have family, so she said such words to soothe her anxious heart. And now, she really did come!

This was what a true friend should be like. There were some things that she would understand without even needing to say it. There were some thoughts that she would naturally sense without having to reveal them.

That middle-aged man must be Luo Xin Tong's father. Luo Xin Tong's father was also a well-known figure in the city, the head of a gang known as the "Four Seas Gang".

Although the Dragon Gate was the head of the extreme dao world of the continent, there were also many large and small gangs.

As long as they stayed put and didn't offend the benefits of the Dragon Gate, Zhuang Shili wouldn't do anything to them. Therefore, they had always lived a peaceful life like this.

Luo Xin Tong was the same as her, they were both the so-called illegitimate daughters of the large family, unpopular and ostracized. They both shared the same identity and background, and after experiencing their youth together, their friendship had become even stronger.

However, Luo Xintong was still better off than her. At least her father doted on her, but because of the legal wife, he couldn't openly bring her into the Luo family. Moreover, she didn't even know where her own father was.

Gu Mo Cheng, who was standing beside her, tilted his head slightly as he faced her bright smile.

Because that smile was too bright, it overshadowed that terrifying makeup. That joy came from the bottom of his heart. He couldn't help but take another look at that girl called Luo Xintong. Could it be … They knew each other?

After the pleasantries, the banquet began. Because she had been accompanied by Luo Xintong's calm and collected company for the whole night, she felt that the fatigue of the day was not as difficult as it had been before.

At the wedding banquet, she met his brother for the first time, the cold and arrogant Zhuang Shi-li dressed in black, the charming Ji Chen Hao dressed in a dark pink suit, and the silent and wise Quan Tiansheng dressed in a royal blue suit.

How would you feel if three men of different temperaments stood side by side, looking at you without moving?

Mu Wenwen felt that he was so nervous that his breathing almost stopped, especially that Zhuang Shili. His handsome face was so cold that it could scare a person to death. She didn't even dare to look at him directly.

At that time, she was following behind Gu Mo City and toasting at another table. The three of them were sizing her up, but she couldn't do anything. She even almost threw her wine cup away.

He quietly caught her cup and followed her gaze. He couldn't help but smile proudly as he carried the cup to their table.

She had no choice but to follow behind him. Because Uncle Heng often took on road jobs, she had more or less heard of some of the Dragon Gate's Fourth Young Masters, but she had never seen their true faces.

"This is Big Brother Zhuang Shili!"

He introduced the man in black to her simply, and she summoned up her courage to greet him.

"Hello, hello!"

Her tongue trembled a little, and she admitted that she was afraid of this man. She felt that she was about to be frozen into an ice cube by the coldness coming from him. She really didn't know what kind of woman would dare to live by his side.

Zhuang Shili only glanced at her indifferently, then raised his head and drank the wine in his hand before tossing a word to her.

"Congratulations!"

"Hey, boss, can't you give me a smile? On such a joyous day, look at how scared sister-in-law is! "

Before she could recover from the chill, she saw the man in dark pink clothes raise his wine glass and smile at her intimately. The words he said caused her to feel extremely awkward.

"Sister-in-law, happy wedding!"

The word "sister-in-law" scared her out of her wits. She was wearing high heels, so when Ji Chen Hao called her, she couldn't help but stumble and fall forward unsteadily.

Luckily, Gu Mo Cheng, who was standing diagonally in front of her, managed to turn his head and catch her in time, allowing her to avoid the embarrassment of falling to the ground. With this, she pounced directly into his embrace.
