“Congratulations on your marriage.”
In the end, thousands of unspoken words were condensed into this one sentence.
The youth, Ye Nuo, was not as sentimental as Supreme Jin. He pursed his lips and remarked, “Bodyguard Gu, this man next to you isn’t too bad so I will resign myself to the pain and give you up to him.”
Heaven knows how terrified Ye Nuo was of Qianbei Ye several years ago! After all, this man was far too frightening! One glare from him felt like a knife at the throat.
Yet, of all people, his Bodyguard Gu had fallen for him.
Therefore, he could only abandon his plan to marry Bodyguard Gu and sincerely wish them well.
“Of course, Bodyguard Gu, if this fellow is ever unkind to you, remember to look for me. I’ll marry you instead.”
Qianbei Ye narrowed his eyes as a dangerous light flashed across them, “I’m afraid you won’t have the chance.”
He paid no attention to little kid like Ye Nuo.
Ever since the beginning, Zixie was the only one who could be considered as his rival in love.
It was a good thing that Zixie had not tried to fight him over Gu Ruoyun in the beginning. Otherwise, he does not have the confidence to say that Gu Ruoyun would definitely have chosen him now! If Zixie wants to fight him now, it would be too late to change anything!
Ye Nuo scoffed and pursed his lips. “That may not be so.”
He was only saying this to annoy Qianbei Ye. It was this fellow’s fault for taking his Bodyguard Gu away! It was his fault that he has to remain unmarried.
Actually, Ye Nuo does not quite know how he really felt about Gu Ruoyun.
Was it love?
That does not seem to be the case.
He had been very young back then and the powerful Gu Ruoyun had given him a sense of security. Thus, he had announced that he wanted to marry her so that he could continue to be by her side.
Back then, he believed that as long as Gu Ruoyun marries him, she could protect him forever.
Now that he thought about it, this boy’s idea was a bit of a joke!
“Almost everyone is here now.”
Liu Yue stepped in front of the crowd and cleared his throat before saying, “Since that’s the case, let’s begin the wedding ceremony. You, put that wedding veil back over your face. Can’t you see that many men are now staring straight at you? Do you intend to continue the ceremony this way?”
After all, this was the first wedding that Liu Yue was officiating and he certainly does not want anything to go wrong.
Gu Ruoyun did not say anything as she draped the bridal veil back over her head and turned towards Grand Lord Hong Lian and his wife who were seated at the parents’ seat.
Grand Lord Hong Lian was bursting with joy and no longer displayed his usual cold and grim air. His dark eyes were full of smiles and his handsome face looked absolutely radiant.
“The first bow to the heavens and earth!”
Liu Yue cleared his throat once again and announced in a high voice.
“The second bow to the parents!”
Gu Ruoyun and Qianbei Ye then bowed to Grand Lord Hong Lian and his wife.
“Thirdly, enter…”
“Stop!”
Before Liu Yue could finish his sentence, an angry cry cut him off.
Liu Yue frowned irritably as his face flashed with annoyance.
At the same time, everyone followed his gaze and turned to look at the woman who had walked into the great hall…
This woman was dressed in green robes. However. her tender and pretty features were mad with rage. She glared at the woman who was holding Qianbei Ye’s hand as a jealous flame sparked from her eyes.
The crowd’s eyes soon moved from the woman’s face to her big belly…
A pregnant woman?
The crowd was in shock.
Why has this pregnant woman come to the Empire to stir up trouble? Does she have some sort of relationship with the Empress?
