Chapter 205 - SUSPICION ARISES (PART 3)
Xue Lin remarked, "I was thinking that my head was going to drop from my neck and roll on the ground because of that heavy crown."
Ge Chen chuckled.
Ge Chen carefully observed the man who was escorting Mu Lan. His eyes narrowed as he thought, "This guy has zero similarity with Mu Lan. He can"t be her father. He isn"t anyone close to Xiao Liang or I would have known… Something is strange about him. He doesn"t look like an ordinary person."
He asked his wife, "Have you ever seen this guy before?" Since Xue Lin stayed at the Mu Castle for a while, he thought she would know that if he was around Mu Lan.
Xue Lin looked at Juan and answered, "The one who is with Xiao Lan? No, never. Even if I ever met him, I don"t remember."
"…." Ge Chen should have guessed that he was asking someone useless.
Meanwhile, the priest was in a daze seeing the stunning bride. After getting Mu Liang"s glare, he came back to reality. He coughed and started, "Dearly beloved…"
Ge Chen carefully observed the people around them. Most of them were top businessmen, government officials. He knew most of them. Seeing Li Shen looking gloomily at the bride and the groom, he smirked. "Liang is as merciless as ever. He actually dared to invite his love rival."
Since Ge Chen was the one who provided Mu Lan"s history to Mu Liang, he knew very well whom she loved and how her first love came to a tragic end.
"Hopefully, I"ll be my wife"s first love," he prayed.
As he continued to look around, he spotted some unfamiliar faces. Other than those officials and businessmen, the only people he didn"t know were twelve guys including the one who escorted the bride.
He slowly narrowed his eyes. "Thirteen unknown men; thirteen nationalities. They are trying to act like others but they are far different from ordinary people. Interesting."
When the bride and groom were exchanging vows, Mu Feng murmured. "This is my typical big brother. His one sentence is enough, a merciless weapon. One sentence and slash."
Qi Ying chided him, "Don"t say such nasty words on a holy day."
And with a pa.s.sionate kiss, the bride and groom officially became husband and wife. As they kissed pa.s.sionately, everyone stood up and began to clap. Mu Feng and Mu Chen whistled.
While clapping Xue Lin thought, "Thank goodness my wedding was the traditional one. No kissing was needed." Thinking of the sudden kissing from her newly wedded husband at the wedding reception, her face flushed.
After the wedding ceremony ended, Mu Lan threw the flower bouquet and her friend Qi Ying caught it. Then, Mu Liang carried his newly wedded wife to the reception hall.
Looking at the six layers of chocolate cake, Xue Lin thought, "Now, this is something I can look forward to."
"Lin dear!" Yan Su noticed Xue Lin first and waved at her.
Xue Lin smiled seeing her all excited. "You look busy," Xue Lin commented. "Are you okay with moving around when you are pregnant? You don"t have seasickness, do you?"
Yan Su gave her a warm hug. "No, I"m perfectly fine. I have to move around whether I"m pregnant or not. I did the makeup today. What do you think?"
Xue Lin glanced at the bride who was cutting the cake with her groom and remarked, "She looks fabulous."
Yan Su went along, "Of course, she does. It"s her big day after all."
"Xiao Lin?" Qi Ying spotted her this time. She was surprised. She came forward and asked, "Where have you been? We were so worried! We have called you so many times!"
Xue Lin answered, "I broke my phone and sim card and memory card, everything was gone. I wanted to contact you but I couldn"t."
"Oh my, things must be tough for you. Well, who is this husky beside you?" Yan Su playfully asked.
Xue Lin frowned. "You are pregnant with a child. Behave yourself. Don"t eye on my husband."
"Husband!"
Husband?!"
Yan Su and Qi Ying were thunderstruck. Not only the news was new to them, but they also couldn"t believe that this small girl got married before them.
"h.e.l.lo ladies, I"m Ge Chen. It"s lovely to meet you. I"m happy to know that Lin has so many wonderful friends. Please take care of her when I"m not around."
Qi Ying politely said, "Oh, we will. I"m Qi Ying, it"s a pleasure to meet you."
Yan Su inquired, "So, when did you guys get married?"
Xue Lin replied, "Right after I left Italy."
Qi Ying questioned her, "You mean you went to Germany and got married?"
"I went to China and got married," Xue Lin told them. She didn"t want them to know about the rest. So, she kept quiet.
"You just recently married and so possessive of your husband," Yan Su teased her friend.
Xue Lin declared, "He is my man."
"Wow! Look at you being such a possessive wife." Yan Su looked at Ge Chen and asked him, "Don"t you have a hard time with you?"
"No, she is easy to get along with," Ge Chen answered.
Yan Su"s eyes widened in surprise. She couldn"t help but say, "Man, you must be an alien from Mars."
At that time, Qi Ying reminded her friends, "Hey, we have to go and change Xiao Lan"s dress."
Yan Su looked at Xue Lin and asked, "Why don"t you come with us?"
"Yes, Xiao Lin, come with us," Qi Ying urged.
Xue Lin denied, "Let me have a taste of this wedding cake." Her interest was in somewhere else.
"Figures…" Yan Su wasn"t surprised. Qi Ying giggled.
While eating a piece of cake, she saw Mu Lan and Mu Liang"s pictures being presented. She wasn"t interested in her friend"s love life. She enjoyed the cake wholeheartedly. Ge Chen was talking with some businessmen. "What is he talking about? Oh well, it"s not my business." She shrugged. After she was done eating, she went downstairs and met someone.
