Chapter 2656: The Kiss of the Century
Xiao Xue covered her mouth in intense excitement. Besides being surprised, she was more moved.
Ji Yan, who was behind her, did not expect the man to appear here, so she stood frozen on the spot.
Yun Shishi was stunned for a long time until her two sons quietly urged her to take their father’s hand; only then did she extend her hand to him with a blank expression.
Her hand was not even half the size of his palm.
In a flash, he took her hand and helped her up. Before she could stand firmly or even react, the man pulled her into his embrace, wrapped his other hand around her nape, and, sans warning, kissed her passionately on the lips!
It was the kiss of the century.
Yun Shishi’s eyes were wide open as her whole world turned white!
With his eyes closed, the man planted a deep kiss on her before he slowly opened his eyes and let go. Hugging her more securely by his side, he turned to face the crowd. After sweeping through the stunned faces, he announced in a calm and strong voice, “She is my wife—my lawful wife, so I won’t allow anyone to bully her!”
The domineering declaration drew countless flashing magnesium lights, which could not wait to capture this poignant scene.
Ka-cha ka-cha—
Some reporters, who were simply too slow to react, stood rooted on the spot, forgetting even to capture this scene on camera.
Stunned and bewildered, Yun Shishi lifted her head to look at the man. Her stunned gaze was met by his indulgent eyes as he also happened to be looking at her. The man moved to tidy her fringe, which got slightly messed up during the ensuing chaos earlier.
As multiple microphones were thrust upon his face, he continued speaking tenderly. “Have you forgotten? I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time—wanting to disclose our relationship and marriage to the public. I did promise you: I’ll let the world bear witness to my vow to you.”
The actress froze.
“Zhe…”
“Hush. I’ll take care of everything next.” With the corner of his eyes arched slightly, he urged her. “Leave it to me, alright?”
She stopped trying to be brave and nodded her head with pursed lips.
With her hand in his, the man walked the lady back to the reception table.
When the senior executives sitting on the stage saw him approaching, they fidgeted instantly and hastily gave up their seats for him while looking frazzled.
As the magnate walked over with his wife in his arms, Ji Lin looked at him with a complicated expression and then gave an odd glance at the manager.
“Is this also within the presscon’s script?”
“Of course,” answered Qin Zhou with a smile on his face.
“You’ve known about this then?”
“This presscon was arranged by the chairman himself.” The manager shrugged his shoulders innocently. “He asked me not to create too much hype.”
“Didn’t he create enough hype when he appeared in this way?” The corner of the producer’s eyes twitched fiercely. “What is considered too much hype to him?”
“Aiyah, mate, don’t you get it? This is called a sweet surprise; do you understand now? No wonder you’ve been unable to find a girlfriend even now. How can you find a partner when you’re so rigid-minded?” The manager argued coherently.
The head producer resisted the urge to give the star agent a slap and grunted grudgingly, but there was a comforting relief in his eyes.
This is good.
Ji Yan watched dumbly as Mu Yazhe assisted Yun Shishi to take the center seat onstage while holding her hand. Following which, Qin Zhou astutely gave up his place to the man.
While she was gawking at the sight, she felt a sharp pain around her heels. She turned around to see the twins standing beside her; coincidentally, the little ones had each stretched a foot and given her a fierce kick. When they saw the woman turning to look at them, both made a face at her.
