“What’s wrong?” Feng Qingyin and Meng Yu finally emerged from the crowd, looking at me. After checking and finding nothing wrong, they sighed in relief.
“The groom is Yiqing,” Little Zi said flatly, causing everyone’s heart to tighten.
“Follow!” I blurted out, startling everyone.
“Ling’er, you…” Feng Qingyin looked at me worriedly.
I waved my hand: “Nothing could be better.” Then I led the way, running to catch up with the wedding procession.
Little Zi smiled leisurely: “There’s a good show coming.”
Surprisingly, the wedding procession was heading to the Mu Mansion! But now I had no time to care – my mind was full of: How could he pretend not to know me?
How could he!
Disregarding the others behind me, I rushed into the Mu Mansion. The bride and groom had already entered the main hall, and guests were crowding to see them. I couldn’t squeeze in and was stuck outside, anxiously listening to the master of ceremonies begin the ritual.
“Can’t get in? Try flying~” Little Zi relished the chaos.
“Hey—Little Xin…” Wu Chen, who had hurriedly arrived, could only grab a corner of my dress as I stepped on people’s heads and flew into the main hall.
“Bow to each other—”
“Wait—”
Everyone in the hall, especially the newlyweds, looked at me in surprise. I pinched my thigh, bursting into tears, and lunged at Yiqing: “Daddy of my child, how heartless! Abandoning me after having your way!”
The hall immediately erupted in whispers, and rumors began to spread.
Hugging Yiqing’s waist, I buried my face in his chest, listening to his heartbeat, waiting for his next reaction. I couldn’t believe that the person moved to tears by a small gift could now marry someone else. Although he never promised to marry me, in my heart, I had long claimed him as mine. I just couldn’t bear to see my man taken away! I’m petty! So what?!
The whispers around us indicated that today’s wedding would be difficult to conclude.
With our commotion, the ceremonial bowing could not proceed. How would these guests be dealt with? Surely they couldn’t just be dismissed with a simple “accident”?
