Chapter 108: I Gave You A Song Before
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
On the stage, the couple exchanged rings.
Her gaze turned back to the table and, this time, she pressed his hands firmly down below the table before he could act.
“…”
“Is he that good-looking?” he asked with frigid displeasure.
She replied with a pout, “I’m not looking at him.”
He followed her gaze to the couple. Who could she be looking at besides Lin Jingxuan?
The guests were seated around the centerstage, and she had recognized someone sitting close to the groom.
They were a fair distance away and the lights were dim, so she could not tell at first glance if that was the person she thought it was. Hence, she had to look several times to confirm it.
“It’s him again?” she muttered under her breath.
“Who is that?”
The woman turned around and caught sight of his fuming expression, which put a smile on her face. “I think that person is the man I bumped into at the lobster store.”
“Are you still thinking of him?” His voice rose a pitch this time.
“I… Nope, I’m not.” She was about to tell him that she had seen him at the bar too but she stopped herself.
It would definitely come across as weird that she had bumped into a stranger not just once, but thrice at different places.
“No?” His tone showed clear distrust as his eyes swept across the room in front of him. He could not see that man despite scanning the area for some time.
“Where is he? I saw him clearly just now…” Her eyes searched the room for his presence in surprise. How had he disappeared?
Mo Jiangye stared at her with a penetrating gaze.
“Really! He was standing there earlier.” She explained desperately, worried that this would lead to a greater misunderstanding.
His pensive orbs turned darker at her words.
“Really, I swear that I saw him just now.”
When she saw his expression change, she made a smart move and dipped her head to concentrate on the food instead, knowing that her roaming eyes made the man more dangerous by the second.
Up on the second level, a man in a black tuxedo and black high boots peered down at a certain woman below. He had a condescending, cheeky smile on his face as he twirled a black ring on his fourth finger and the black ear stud on his left lobe sparkled eerily.
CLAP, CLAP, CLAP, CLAP! Another round of enthusiastic applause echoed.
She sneaked a peek at the man beside him before she quietly sent a message to Ji Sichen.
“Mo Jiangye, let’s go out to get some fresh air.”
“We have come to the wedding, gotten past the staff, and drunk wine. Can we go back now?” he asked coldly.
She pulled him away to the exit quietly. “Let’s wait a while more. I want to see the green firecrackers I got him lit before we leave.”
What was going to happen next would not help his sanity. Therefore, she needed to lead him away.
The emcee announced with a smile, “Let’s witness the love story between the beautiful couple on the stage.”
‘I gave you a song before’
‘Let’s listen to our story’
Little by little, a ballad could be heard coming from the big screen.
“Baby, you’ll be my one and only in this life. I’ll marry no one but you.” The familiar voice of Lin Jingxuan was heard as his face flashed distinctively on the screen.
“Jingxuan, I’m so happy.” The unfamiliar female voice took everyone by surprise, though.
On the screen, the lady’s face was too blurry to be noticeable and even her voice was made over. However, one could see her shiny, raven-like long hair that reached her waist. Her extraordinary aura could be felt from the screen. She was tall, soft, and gentle as a running stream.
Those who had sharp eyes could tell that this lady was not Gu Feirou. The hair, height, and charisma did not match the bride in the least.
“Baby, my love for you has grown again today.”
