Chapter 296: Chapter 296: Mourning…_1
Seeing Ye Qilan and Su Hongxing sitting side by side in the wedding car, anyone who didn’t know better would assume that Su Hongxing is the bride.
At least, that’s the illusion everyone got who saw this scene.
Su Hongxing climbed into the wedding car, turning her eyes towards the window. The weather was gloomy with clouds covering the sky, ready to rain at any moment.
The autumn wind was sharp, rustling the roadside trees, almost sounding like a dirge…
“Are you sure today is an auspicious day for a wedding? Looking at the weather, it seems as though a heavy rain is about to fall.” When Su Hongxing spoke to Ye Qilan, it was as if she were muttering to herself.
Ye Qilan glanced at the dim sky, unconcerned, “Even if it rains, it’s fine as long as you’re here.”
Even if it isn’t an auspicious day, as long as she is within his sights it’s alright. Even if she wanted to escape, she would have to resign herself. There is nowhere for her to go.
He trusted no one but himself, so he could only keep her close.
No matter how absurd or ridiculous others might find his actions, he only did what he wanted and kept the person he wanted to keep.
Ye’s grandfather felt a persistent twitch in his eyelid, a vague intuition telling him that if Su Hongxing also appeared at the wedding, something would happen.
Especially seeing Ye Qilan and Su Hongxing sitting shoulder to shoulder, he felt he had to try and stop it again.
Just as the wedding car was about to start, the old man rushed over, beating the car door with his cane, “Ye Qilan, get out of the car!”
Ye Qilan remained undeterred, staying seated, signaling the driver to start the car.
The elderly man quietly instructed a man in a suit beside him, who understood and gathered several people to block the car from moving.
Seeing this, Su Hongxing said, “Your grandfather is doing this for your own good. Why don’t I wait for you at home?”
Ye Qilan held a cold grimace at the corner of his lips, “Leave you at home so you can easily escape, right?!”
Next, he made a phone call. Age was waiting nearby and moved in to block the old man’s men following his orders.
After a delay of approximately three minutes, the wedding car finally started smoothly.
Looking back, Su Hongxing merely saw a grand procession of wedding cars. Such a spectacle was typically for fetching the bride, this time it was said to be a grand wedding held directly at the Taicheng Hotel.
Moreover, as Zhou Luhe and Xiao Ji were also joining the wedding, the formalities of fetching the bride was skipped this time.
“What are you thinking about?” Ye Qilan saw Su Hongxing staring at the wedding procession in a daze, and squeezed her hand.
He didn’t like it when her attention was diverted by others or by something else.
Su Hongxing recollected herself, pursed her lips and gave a slight smile: “I was just thinking how fortunate Cao Shiyu is. Your family, the Ye Family, has gone through great lengths to marry her. To be a woman like her, there’s probably nothing to regret in this lifetime.”
Ye Qilan didn’t understand the deeper meaning behind her words and responded with silence.
“Today, I too am benefiting from your good fortune.” After Su Hongxing finished speaking, she leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes to rest.
Ye Qilan watched her calm face, slightly zoned out.
Intuition told him this woman was plotting something.
Beichuan had been missing for a few days, fearing he might cause disruption, he had someone keeping an eye on Beichuan’s end.
However, he hadn’t heard of any unusual activities, which left him puzzled.
He was worried that Beichuan would suddenly appear halfway through and try to take Su Hongxing away from him.
As it turned out, his fears were unfounded. The grand procession of wedding cars made it to the Taicheng Hotel without any trouble.
