chapter 32

Bai Yinya and Yan Sheng’s wedding took place in an open-air square of a hotel.

Now Bai Yinya’s face was as pale as her wedding dress.

They tried all their best yesterday, but to little effect. Present at the wedding were only dozens of guests, all of whom were close relatives of the two families. As for their distant relatives, most of them chose to go to Gu Yeze’s wedding.

Off the stage stood merely one camera. But for countless ties between the media company and Bai family, it wouldn’t have made the video shoot for her wedding.

Yet it was probably the last video Bai Yinya would expect to watch. How ironic!

The host was put in such an awkward situation that he would like to step down the stage. His lone voice reverberated through the empty square.

“Mr. Yan Sheng, will you give yourself to Miss Bai Yinya, to be her husband? Will you love her, comfort her, honor and protect her, and, forsaking all others, be faithful to her, so long as you both shall live?”

“I… I will.” Yan Sheng squirmed with embarrassment and stammered out a reply.

“Miss. Bai Yinya, will you give yourself to Mr. Gu Yeze, to be his wife? Will you love him, comfort him, honor and protect him, and, forsaking all others, be faithful to him so long as you both shall live?”

“No!” Bai Yinya was out of patience and she yelled.

Everybody present changed their countenance.

When she realized what she had said, Bai Yinya hurriedly explained herself, “No! What I mean is that it’s not the wedding I want, not a no. I definitely will.”

She was so flurried that she herself had no idea what she was talking about.

Bai Yinya had fancied what their wedding would be like—she and Yan Sheng being the center of attention like prince and princess, and cameras moving around to catch their happiness.

Anyway, it would be absolutely not like what it was now: a gloomy scene where very few people were present.

The host blushed, yet he pretended that nothing had happened and continued his speech in a stiff way as if reading a textbook.

He couldn’t wait to get the job done and leave. The task was simply the hardest one he had ever encountered throughout his career.

…

“I’d like to go out.” Bai Weijin said to Gu Yeze when she noticed him walking into the backstage.

“Where are you going?” Gu Yeze was tired of handling those annoying officials.

“To my sister’s wedding, of course.” answered Bai Weijin. She could not wait to see how bleak Bai Yinya’s wedding was.

Gu Yeze reclined in the sofa and made no reply. His silence implied consent.

Bai Weijin was ready to go out the moment she got changed.

“Take a few bodyguards with you.” Gu’s voice came from the rear.

In case that Bai family resorted to desperate measures, Bai Weijin didn’t refuse Gu Yeze the kind offer. She nodded at him gratefully and headed together with the bodyguards for the Victoria Hotel where Bai Yinya’s wedding took place.

The wedding there was still going on.

Bai Yinya could hardly keep her feet on the stage. In a trance she seemingly saw a figure approaching.

It was Bai Weijin.

Bai Yinya regained consciousness instantly. When she saw clearly the woman was actually Bai Weijin, her immediate reaction was to rush off and kill her.

“What are you doing here, Bai Weijin?” Bai Yinya gnashed her teeth in anger. Bai Hongbo and Du Meihua were also on full alert.

“Today is you, my good sister’s wedding day. Others can be absent, but I, as your sister, can definitely not.” Bai Weijin answered smilingly.

“You!” Bai Yinya choked with anger.

“Bai Weijin, she’s your sister. Don’t push her too hard!” Bai Hongbo shouted at Bai Weijin.

Oh? Wasn’t he also her ‘dad’? Bai Weijin slowly turned her head and looked him in the eye.
