Chapter 1371: Wedding Ceremony

Gu Jinxiu’s face changed. She did not expect Wei Lingnan to treat her like this.

Kicking her good friend out of the wedding in front of everyone, it was like a slap to her face! “Nan, you...” She wanted to say that he was too much. But, with all these people looking eagerly for drama, she swallowed her words. If she argued with Wei Lingnan here, everyone would see her as a laughing stock. Especially Xia Yingluo!

Thus, Gu Jinxiu took deep breaths and walked away.

The place quietened down and only the music from the violin band could be heard.

Wei Lingnan did not chase after Gu Jinxiu and instead, looked at Xia Yingluo. Under the bright sun, her hair dazzled, but she looked like she was unable to stand up properly, threatening to fall over at any moment.

Was she unwell?

He wanted to ask her. He knew deep down that her movements should not have been so awkward when she was dodging the alcohol being splashed at her, given that she was well trained by her father since young. But what right did he have to ask her? He was marrying the Queen today, while she was ultimately not the right one for him.

“I’ll get someone to send you back,” he said.

Everyone knew exactly why Gu Jinxiu invited Xia Yingluo here. This ceremony was not a happy occasion for her. And given her unwell state, it was better for her to leave instead. Wei Lingnan told himself that everything he did was only for the World Tree inside her, not her as a person. This was the only way he’d not feel guilty to the Queen Gu Jinxiu.

Xia Yingluo misunderstood his intentions. “You’re chasing me away? Do you think I am like Pei Yan and Zhao Yixuan? You can order me around however you like? Wei Lingnan, it’s too late. If you were afraid of me disrupting the wedding, then don’t send the invitation to me in the first place! You think I really wanted to come?”

She was like an angry little cub.

Suddenly, Wei Lingnan was in a daze. He recalled Ah Luo in the middle of the battlefield on the Skatana Planet. Against the encircling worm army, the little princess was clearly afraid. However, she still chose to stand by the injured Wei Lingnan. Despite the tears of fear welling up in her eyes, she brandished her undeveloped claws to fight with the worm army... She was originally so fragile, crying at the sight of a withering flower. However, she was willing to bathe herself in blood for a despicable person like him. The seriousness in her eyes at that moment was thrillingly beautiful.

The Xia Yingluo in front of him, was like Ah Luo returning to his side.

Instinctively, he reached out to touch her soft cheeks. His hands were halfway through when he suddenly realized how inappropriate his actions were. He silently stopped, turned around and walked towards Gu Jinxiu.

Silence filled the crowd.

Xia Yingluo watched him leave and the crowd slowly dispersed.

Jiang Yu brought some dessert over and asked, “Yingluo, are you alright? I saw Wei Lingnan and Gu Jinxiu over here, did they pester you?”

“I’m fine,” Xia Yingluo said nonchalantly as she took the dessert from him.

Jiang Yu looked at her worryingly, unsure whether she was really fine. “You don’t look so well, though. Do you want me to take you somewhere to rest?” He noticed her pale face under the heavy makeup.

Now that he mentioned it, the dizziness came back. Xia Yingluo felt like she was going to fall over and held onto Jiang Yu.

She steadied herself and said, “I’m fine.” She did not know why she was so restless. She had never been in this situation. Was it because of her hangover? But it was not her first time being so drunk, it was not this uncomfortable...

Or was it because she had the World Tree in her, causing her body to be weaker?

She frowned at Jiang Yu. “Let me hold on to you for a while.”

Jiang Yu looked at her in concern and supported her waist. “Don’t force yourself. If you are unwell, we should go first. If they want to mock us, let them, your health is more important.”

Xia Yingluo shook her head. “No.”

She wanted to stay here to watch the man’s wedding and let the ugly truth pierce her heart so that she could finally... give up. She did not want to relive the experience of receiving the news of their marriage again. She did not move away from her position. The sun was so bright she could not open her eyes.

With her firmness to stay, Jiang Yu could not do anything but hold onto her carefully.

When this girl got stubborn, one could only follow her wishes and not go against it. He could only hope that the wedding would end early so that he could bring her back to rest.

Maybe his prayer was answered, as the wedding ceremony started quickly.

On the flat turf stood a row of beautiful floral arches. Accompanied by the ceremonious wedding music, Gu Xiao, Chairman of the Gu Magnate, also Gu Jinxiu’s father, was in his suit, holding onto his daughter’s arm and walking towards Wei Lingnan. He handed her over to Wei Lingnan. The bride looked up with happiness written all over her face.

Everyone kept quiet as they watched the ceremony. Some of the rich madames were even wiping tears off their faces. The scene of the beautiful bride and the handsome groom united under the sun was a scene right out of a fairytale.

Xia Yingluo’s dizziness grew stronger standing in the crowd.

Her lips turned pale and her heart palpitated.

Subconsciously, she held tighter onto Jiang Yu’s arm.

In her heart, waves of anger crashed. She had this urge to run up to the stage and tear the pair into pieces.

She did not understand what was happening to her and tried hard to control herself. Her body trembled.

On the other end, the emcee said in a solemn voice, “Mr. Wei Lingnan, do you take Ms. Gu Jinxiu as your wife, to take care of her, protect her, in poverty and in sickness, to stand by her through thick and thin?”

The voice seemed to come from a faraway place through Xia Yingluo’s buzzing head and blurred vision.

Beside the emcee table, Gu Jinxiu was decked in her white wedding dress, looking up, eagerly waiting for Wei Lingnan’s answer.

Wei Lingnan subconsciously looked in the direction of Xia Yingluo.

“Mr. Wei Lingnan, Mr. Wei Lingnan?” The emcee asked.

He managed to suppress his frustration and hesitated for a moment. Looking at Xia Yingluo in the crowd, he wanted to ask her “Why are you not the Queen”?! How could he have such thoughts...

How could he betray his Queen at this important moment?

Wei Lingnan reprimanded himself, forced himself to concentrate, and looked at Gu Jinxiu’s face.
